Probably now is a good time to say this.
And it’s always good to remember it.

Real antisemitism is NOT OK.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

A major pathology in Hollywood -- since its inception -- is the complete exclusion of Jews from every key role: no studio heads, no big agents, no directors or actors, etc.

So of course Debra Messing is blackballed for her Zionism despite what a huge box office draw she is.

Netanyahu saying it was “my plan to shift the framework for U.S.-Israel defense cooperation from aid to partnership.”

We had Josh Paul on BP this morning to break down what this means. It would give Israel extraordinary leverage over the U.S. by embedding their technology in our supply chains and weapons systems.

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏

@neeratanden @Fievel131 Say it…

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The term "cancel culture" was thrown around a lot over the last decade but never defined with precision.

But whatever it means, this scummy account is its purest expression: a monomaniacal crusade to get Americans fired for any expression critical of their Sacred Foreign Country.

And of course it's beloved by the remaining MAGA rump.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The discourse around Graham Planter, "sexting" and adultery is surreal.

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton was revealed to be a serial adulterer, womanizer and harasser, yet Dems won the 1998 midterms in the middle of the Lewinsky scandal and his approval ratings stayed high because nobody cared (feminist groups vehemently defended him). Every four years, Dems gave him a standing ovation at the DNC and still do.

Then the GOP rallied behind Trump, whose major identity was as a tabloid figure who serially and openly cheated on all of his multiple wives while they were all at home raising his young children. He paid hush money to a porn star! MAGA is now enamored with Ken Paxton, a confessed serial adulterer, who Trump endorsed and whom MAGA is trying to empower in the Senate.

Who has the clean hands to pretend with a straight face that Graham Platner's sexting -- which his wife has forgiven -- is "disqualifying" in the modern political era?

⚡️ Dr. Adam Hamawy, the decorated former U.S. Army combat trauma surgeon has widened his lead in New Jersey’s 12th District Democratic primary.

With 56% of the vote counted, Hamawy leads by roughly 2,500 votes - almost 6% - as of a few minutes

Ron Lauder of the World Jewish Congress wants the Mossad and Shin Bet to go after journalists and TikTok users.

[Chris Williamson @DerbyChrisW]

The Zionists are on the back foot and they're getting desperate. That's why it's crucial to intensify the pressure and to make no concessions whatsoever to these genocidal maniacs.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Here's the billionaire pro-Israel activist Ron Lauder -- whose son-in-law was just named by Trump to lead the Federal Reserve -- explicitly warning that American Jews will use Jewish "wealth" to remove any American politicians who don't support Israel:

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Jewish groups are now boasting more explicitly than ever that they will use Jewish wealth to destroy any US politician who refuses to "stand with" Israel: as they did to Massie.

But if you observe the same exact thing in order to criticize it, you're instantly branded a bigot.

@CaliforniaFirst @nytimes Leftist… seriously? That’s your take away from all of this? 🤦‍♂️

Israel announces that surviving Palestinians will be expelled from Gaza.

No headlines.

No statements of outrage from politicians.

Silence.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon in 1982 *before* Hezbollah existed. The problem is you.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israeli officials: Flatten the suburbs of Beirut

Western media: Israel expanding incursion against Hezbollah

President Trump, Israel is a sovereign and independent nation, not the 51st star on the American flag. Israel’s security decisions should be made in Jerusalem, based on the interests and security needs of its own citizens.
