Y’all keep thinking this is ideological for me. It isn’t.

Our party has socialists, progressives, New Dems, Blue Dogs, moderates, and everything in between. I’ve worked with all of them.

Hell, I ran the House Democratic whip operation with 90 Progressives, 45 New Dems, and 45 Blue Dogs in a House where we had just a 15 seat majority. We cast more roll call votes and passed more legislation than any House in history because we understood that governing meant finding common ground.

That’s not my beef.

My question is simple: Are you working constructively to make the party better, or are you just there to piss all over it?

We already have one political party trying to defeat us. We can’t afford to spend all our time fighting a second front inside our own ranks.

If you’re on the team, be on the team. Push us. Challenge us. Make us better. But help us win.

Rabbi Yoni Birnbaum planned a beautiful holiday in France for himself and his family.

He used the email he always used, which contains the title of rabbi.

The owners of the holiday rental sent him a long message, asking if he "condemns the violent actions of the Israeli army."

Even if this man were Israeli, a random citizen of a country is not responsible for its military policy. And besides, he's not even Israeli, just Jewish.

The email went on to state "If that is not the case, we are unfortunately unable to offer you accommodation."

Do you think those without "rabbi" in their email names received the same questions? I highly doubt it.

I grew up in what is now NY—17.

Conley is exactly the kind of moderate Democrat veteran that can knock off non-vet, Trump-supporting, unlikable, incumbent Lawler there.

6 combat tours. Among the first women to lead a Spec Ops team.

There are tons of vets, cops and firefighters in the district—and many of them are independents. And like Mikie Sherrill in NJ, she’ll do well especially with them. My money’s on Conley to flip this one.

Eine jüdische Mutter holt ihren Sohn vom Kindergarten ab. Er schläft. In den Armen seiner muslimischen Erzieherin.
Mit dieser Realität bin ich in Israel groß geworden. Für viele ist diese Szene so selbstverständlich, dass sie sie nicht einmal hinterfragen. Andere triggert genau diese Selbstverständlichkeit so sehr, dass sie ihren Hass ins Netz tragen.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Focus on building the party you actually support.

Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

This is the most courageous photo you’ll see today.

Celebrities will tell you they’re taking a risk for spreading the most popular bigotry from the world's most luxurious stages.

These are Middle Eastern peace activists, at the Tel Aviv Institute Peace summit we just wrapped, refusing to let actual tyrants force them to hide.

Iranian, Kurdish, Copt, Assyrian, Maronite, Somali, Lebanese, Turkish, Druze, Muslims, and Jews, all standing up for a better Middle East.

That’s real bravery.

The South Korean lady who was racially abused by a Mexican fan was welcomed by the Mexican govt and received an apology for what happened 🇰🇷❤️🇲🇽

The Mexico FA also gave her a signed jersey & took pictures with her. This is what the World Cup is all about

[Ameshia Cross @AmeshiaCross]

This is embarrassing. The behavior is ridiculous. Its time to coalesce around the ticket. Voters were decisive in the primary. Of course losses sting however this is not the time for petty. Texas deserves stronger leadership and this Senate race matters.

“You are in this room to debate whether my family gets to live or die.

And quite frankly— I do not require your permission. Not anymore.”

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!

San Fran takes one of their 81 home games to tip their hat to the sizable number of their fans and community who are gay or who have gay family members. News to those pitchers: America is a freedom-loving country averse to bigotry, no matter how you dress it up in religiosity.

[Blake Niemann @Blakes_Take2]

D-backs pitcher Ryan Thompson, who is a proclaimed Christian, spoke on the MLB warning SF Giants players who wrote Bible verses on Pride Night caps:

"I think there's a perceived negativity with this stuff. Landen Roupp wrote a verse on his hat that means he's anti something. That doesn't mean that. It means that he's pro something. So the rainbow means something to him. It means that he believes in the Noahic Covenant being something that's special to us as Christians."

@educator4ever36 You made four grammatical mistakes in a simple paragraph post.

[Gabe Einhorn @EinhornGabe]

My name is Gabe Einhorn. I’m a 24 year old founder, building VryfID, which verifies renters identity and income, then matches them with apartments they can actually afford. For landlords, this helps them fill units faster, increase occupancy, and raise NOI.

I posted last week about an antisemitic incident, and since then it has blown up everywhere. Social media is flooded with people who hate Jews, and their only goal is to try to destroy us, as you see below. This guy just wants to destroy my business, and take down any Jewish person.

Thank God, there are many good people out there who have been supporting me, and who are standing up to hate. If you are seeing this and want to be involved with what we are building, both with VryfID, as well as our fight against hate, please reach out.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

[(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten]

The big problem with these UFC fights for Trump is that they reinforce the idea that he's is out of touch with Americans.

Just 16% say these fights are appropriate. Even just 31% of the GOP do.

This comes as 60% of voters & 80% of indies say the White House is out of touch.

Charles Barkley says putting family on the payroll is the fastest way to go broke

"I tell these young kids, if you want to do something nice for your mom and dad, or a brother or sister, that's fine but they don't have to be on the payroll. You don't owe them that. That was their job to take care of you"

"Grant Hill's mom gave me the best advice ever. Don't start taking care of your family and friends, they're never going to stop and it's going to ruin all your relationships"

"When you start giving people money, they're never going to ask you just one time. No matter what you do for them, the first time you tell them no, they hate you"

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m starting to think he doesn’t like Black people.
