By joining the pile-on against Hasan Piker, Democrats & liberals are running the Right's disinformation playbook for them-- the same playbook the Right uses before every election.

This time around the moral panic was created by a far-right pro-Israel account named Max Nordau/

Americans are fed up with a system in which oligarchs and corporations funnel money to politicians in both parties & wealthy special interests drown out the voice of the people.

In NYC, I helped strengthen our campaign matching funds program, lower contribution limits, & authored one of the strongest independent expenditure disclosure laws in the country.

But in Washington, things have gone from bad to worse, as Trump and his cronies have repeatedly defied the rule of law & twisted policies to serve their own cruel, crooked agenda.

I’m grateful to be endorsed by @StopBigMoney. Look forward to partnering with them to stop the corrosive tide of money pouring into our elections.

Carol Burnett pays tribute to her “Annie” co-star Tim Curry, sharing a clip of the pair from the beloved movie on Instagram:

“We had such a wonderful time working together on ‘Annie.’ Nobody could play lovable villains better than he could,” she wrote. “He was a dear friend. I was blessed to know him.”

And yes since you asked I do own this soundtrack on vinyl.

With apologies to Drs Frank-N-Furter and Petrov, to me Tim Curry will always be Rooster, the first role I ever saw him in. RIP.

Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to:

Quit calling @BernieSanders an “antisemite.”

Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption.

Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.

It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Existing US law already conditions military aid, but here’s the incoming lead Democrat on a key foreign policy committee saying ahead of time that he will simply refuse to uphold the law.

This is the guy we expect to do oversight on Trump’s lawbreaking?

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

“As long as you're an ally of ours, I'm not for conditioning weapons to Israel.”

Jared Moskowitz — who leadership just tapped to lead the Middle East & North Africa subcommittee — said in April he doesn’t support conditioning arms to Israel, even if it breaks international law:

Translation: a giant fuck you from Democratic leadership to Democratic voters.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

.@MarkRuffalo worked with @BernieSanders & me to stop the war in Yemen & pass the first War Powers Resolution in American history.

Mark has stood up for clean water & a livable climate.

Mark has called out the genocide in Gaza.

Smearing him as an antisemite is ignorance.

He is one of the great humanitarians of our time.

[Neri Zilber @NeriZilber]

There is an ongoing attempt, on a daily basis, by the Netanyahu government to light the West Bank on fire ahead of Oct 27 elections. Stymied in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza by Trump, Bibi thinks this will help him politically. IDF - in both omission & commission - is allowing it.

Only actor than can put a stop to it is POTUS himself.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Dolly Parton avoided discussing her partisan views, but she was absolutely not apolitical. She modeled a radically Christian, a genuinely Christ-like, life of kindness and charity, solidarity and community. An enormously powerful political statement. A path to follow.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Sergey Brin is leading a $90 million ad campaign to stop California's 5% billionaire wealth tax.

He is $133 billion richer since Trump's election.

But that's apparently not enough. He'd rather children lose access to healthcare than pay his fair share.

Greed is a sickness.

“The far right is coordinating across nations, and so must we. Not only must we share effective strategies of opposition, but also our solutions of proposition: a shared vision that lifts up and puts power back in the hands of the people.”

I AM ONCE AGAIN TAPPING THE SIGN

[Dylan Williams @dylanotes]

Moskowitz is deeply out of touch with Democratic voters on the very issues the party’s House leadership just entrusted to him. He backed Trump’s launch of the Iran war and supports unconditional aid and arms to Israel in stark opposition to the vast majority of Democratic voters.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Dem leaders in Congress once again showing zero regard for the vast majority of their own voters.

[Emma Ashford @EmmaMAshford]

Allow me to suggest that if you have spent twenty years as a diplomat and cannot think of any better policy towards Iran than sanctions and bombs, you have probably been doing the whole diplomacy thing wrong.
