Patrick Bet-David: "I have a local doctor I want you to go see, he specializes in TDS."

Me: "I have a guy who is a psychologist and he deals with cult members and I think he'd do well well with you guys who can't get out of the Trump cult."

Patrick: "You're so funny."

I clashed with @patrickbetdavid over his refusal to criticize Trump, especially on Iran, the economy, imperialism, Netanyahu, and more:

The unthinkable has happened. DOJ lawyers in RI are under federal judicial scrutiny for misconduct, and the longstanding “presumption of regularity” is lost.

Congress wants to tie the United States to Israel with this new legislation. It’s a trap.

"Now is the time to say what section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act really is: not an alliance with a talented and responsible ally that will help keep the US safe, but a trap being set by Israel and its lobby to bind our country to a state that, for all its past promise, has gone rogue.

Did the New York Times Just Run an Anti-Platner Hit Job?

"The 'paper of record' centered its big scoop, on the leftist Senate candidate's 'unsettling' behavior with former girlfriends, on the uncorroborated accusations of a pro-Israel Republican activist."

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

The silence from Democrats when Muslim colleagues and candidates are attacked is a cancerous rot.

We cannot lead our country out this moment if we're willing to accept the abuse or dehumanization of any marginalized group.

The lone accuser of @grahamformaine is the same GOP operative who was the anonymous source behind the tattoo. And she was founder of Ladies for Kavanaugh! Come on. Is this a joke? Brazen hatchet job. They targeted him and actually got nothing other than the original operative.

Israeli authorities have transferred detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya to solitary confinement at Nafha Prison after his legal team challenged the extension of his detention, according to his lawyer.

The lawyer says the June 3 transfer was punitive and has left Abu Safiya without necessary medical treatment.

Healthcare Workers Watch says at least 83 Palestinian healthcare workers are currently being held by Israel, including 75 from Gaza.

🇮🇪 Ireland announced a ban on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, barring them from entering the country over their anti-Palestinian statements and conduct toward Gaza flotilla activists, according to the Times of Israel.

Irish Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said last month that the two extremist ministers’ statements “essentially amount to a desire to see the elimination of Palestinians from Palestine.” Both ministers have previously been sanctioned by several EU countries for inciting extremist violence.

Why does the old guard need to exit stage left?

They have created an unfair and lopsided economy that rewards the donor class more than the working class.

Was this an illegal attempt by DOGE to weaponize Social Security to carry out Trump’s cruel immigration agenda? I'm fighting back.

NYT published uncorroborated accusations against @grahamformaine of “unsettling” and “toxic” behavior that came from a Heritage staffer who previously worked for a conservative org that backs Collins.
