Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.
Reporter: Do you believe that 5 deaths, potentially 6 from measles in Pennsylvania--
Staffer: We're not gonna talk about measles--
Reporter: He's the highest ranking health official in the country, he can answer that question. He's a Cabinet Secretary.
Hegseth eliminated staff who prevent civilian casualties, called the rules of engagement safeguarding civilians 'stupid,' & now he's covering up the report on the Minab school strike that killed over 120 children.
He needs to be removed from office & we need accountability NOW.
The House adjourned until after the election to avoid votes on releasing the rest of the Epstein Files and on the impeachment of SecDef Hegseth.
When we return, if the files haven’t been released and if Hegseth is still in office, I’ll force a vote on both.
@AcunasHair21@xIsraelExposedx@WashPostComms Sorry about that. You mentioned terrorism as a "response," which I took to mean how Palestinians respond to the act of Israelis settling
Me: "Do you regret [hosting Benjamin Netanyahu at CAP]?"
Neera Tanden: "I wish we did not host him, a hundred percent."
Mehdi: "When did you realize that you shouldn't have hosted him?"
Neera: "I mean, he's been basically acting as a kind of war criminal, so yes, I absolutely regret hosting him."
Mehdi: "Because at the time, Neera, you emailed John Podesta saying Jonathan Lavine at Bain Capital 'is joining our board. So Netanyahu was worth it.' Smiley emoji."
Neera: "I don't remember that."

I can’t think of any other place in the world where people can regularly attack American citizens, American journalists, like this and our US political and media elites say nothing. No scandal, no outrage, no calls for action or accountability.
Elon Musk has spent $366 million on the midterm elections.
Imagine the impact $366 million could have on starving children.
Billionaires are fucking pathetic.
What a corrupt campaign finance system looks like:
Between 2024 and 2026, Musk spent over $650 million to buy elections.
Crypto spent over $500 million
AIPAC spent $230 million
AI spent over $200 million
Dems must implement REAL campaign finance reform. ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE.
This story is bigger than a book simply being cancelled.
Penguin Random House pulled Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari’s book about the Palestinian experience after clashing with them over how to tell Palestine’s story.
Apparently, even a children’s book about Palestine needs a disclaimer making sure everyone knows October 7 was illegal, while the Nakba, occupation and decades of dispossession are up for editorial debate.
Alana and Jenin eventually walked away rather than publish a version they couldn’t stand behind.
Imagine having to fight a publisher just to tell your own people’s story.
Thankfully, Palestinian-owned Interlink Books will publish it in 2027.
Her name is Mariam Ghanem. She is two and a half years old.
At 4 a.m. today, she watched her mother being consumed by flames following an Israeli strike.
Mariam miraculously survived the strike. Her father was slaughtered by Israel just a few months ago.
@JasmineForUS look at what is happening during a so-called ceasefire: a little girl watches her mom burn alive! US taxpayers don't want to fund this barbarism. Do the right thing on your way out of Congress and push to #StopFundingIsrael
@JohnCornyn where is your humanity? How can you look at this mother being burned alive in front of her daughter and still think the ones who did this deserve US taxpayer dollars?!?! We are done supporting them! Do the right thing on your way out and #StopFundingIsrael
Insane how this is so common that people have just accepted it. No this is not normal. This is a horrific, Israel is doing it, and we are paying for it.
while we discuss the daily drama that elons algo is dangling in front of us, israel is still carrying out these massacres with the weapons the west sends them every single day. the only people punished so far are those who speak out against these crimes.
