The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
James Talarico: “Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft. They have been stealing the wealth that we all created. It’s why everything sucks right now. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don’t have a government of, by, and for the people. We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires”

SINCE PAM BONDI SAID TODD BLANCH WAS IN CHARGE OF THE EPSTEIN INVESTIGATION, DID HE RECEIVE ORDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAMPER WITH OR REMOVE EPSTEIN FILES, & DID THE SITTING PRESIDENT SEND YOU TO MEET WITH GHISLAINE MAXWELL
Ben Folds, musician & former Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra, shares how Trump’s takeover has hobbled the Kennedy Center—breaking its once-proven successful business model, disrespecting its original core mission, & politicizing art to the point of propaganda.
President Trump is giving an address to the nation tonight to discuss his groundbreaking new plans to bring down costs.
Just kidding. He’s giving an address to whine about the 2020 election he lost six years ago and to try to undermine your faith in the upcoming midterm elections he’s afraid of losing as well.
Don’t tune in.
There’s nothing better than watching a Republican man wither like a dry flower in the sun when faced with a strong, confident woman. Here, Russell Vought is taken down by Representative Pressley. #DemsUnited
🚨DISQUALIFYING: Sen. Ossoff skewers Jay Clayton who is seeking to lead America’s intelligence community after he REFUSED to answer “Who won the 2020 election?”
Ossoff: “Isn’t it humiliating… to have to indulge the president’s delusions?” Clayton is a coward.
KELLY: Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: ... I really ... Uhm ... I don't want to continue to debate about this, but I believe he had the most electoral votes
KELLY: So he won the election?
CLAYTON: ... hahehe
KELLY: Trump isn't even in the room today. You're gonna be in the room with him. And if you can't disagree with him ...
