[James R. Webb @JamesWebb_16]

Awesome time talking Iran, Midterms, DOD, and plenty more with @aaronjmate on the @UsefulIdiotpod

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Chuck opposed the JCPOA and then opposed any "side deals" with Iran.

How many side deals do you think Chuck is currently making to keep his Senate leadership post? The American people need to know about it.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it.

No side deals.

[Acyn @Acyn]

PSAKI: Does that mean there would be no money taken by the DSCC from AIPAC if you were the leader?

VAN HOLLEN: My view is that we shouldn't take any AIPAC money at the DSCC.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Chuck’s logical attack line: “Van Hollen doesn’t believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason he can’t be Senate leader.”

[Laura Weiss @LauraEWeiss16]

NEWS: Sen. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN will challenge Schumer for Senate majority leader, per multiple sources

The Maryland Democrat and prominent progressive has been weighing a bid

[layla, lmsw @itslaylas]

they are intentionally bombing hospitals and targeting palestinian healthcare workers to subject an entire population to mass disability on top of mass displacement. and preventing people from recovering by destroying their treatment options. it’s absolutely evil.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Alternatively, undermining peace talks and encouraging Ukrainians to fight a war they can't win for a NATO invite they're not getting has prolonged the conflict and gotten a lot of people killed. If neocons can let go of their emotional attachment to killing Russians, a lot of lives could be saved:

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.

[Melat Kiros for Congress, CO-1 @MelatKirosCO]

These war crimes are being perpetrated with our tax dollars. Every life stolen in Gaza is a direct consequence of our failure to end military sales to Israel.

The American people voted for anti-war platforms all across this country.

Block the bombs and end the genocide, NOW.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Despite earning the contempt of everyone on earth with a conscience, Israel’s evil and the daily horrors it inflicts on Palestinians remain completely normalized. Defeating Israel apologists at the ballot box is only a first step.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Gaza's Health Ministry says an Israeli airstrike targeting the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza has killed six people and wounded at least a dozen more. https://t.co/VNa6Mysakf

[Dr. Thaer @ThaerAhmadMD]

I’m devastated to hear the Dr. Rizk Abou Sheira has been killed in the bombing of Nasser Medical Complex.
Dr. Rizk was in the American Doctor documentary operating and serving his people. He lost his life doing that, he lost his life because he was doing that.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Israel has just bombed Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least five people, including surgeon Dr. Rezeq Abu Sha’ira.

Yes, the same hospital. The same Israel that carried out a double-tap airstrike there on August 25, 2025, killing journalists, rescue workers, and emergency personnel responding to the first strike.

As the video shows, the missile used in the attack punched through at least two concrete floors.

Same hospital. Same fucking Israel. Same fucking world watching it happen again.

Nothing new to report here.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukrainegate whistleblower, worked closely with members of the Biden team on Ukraine policy during Obama’s tenure. Biden refused to take NATO off the table for Ukraine, knowingly risking a war over it. Now that the war for Biden’s “open-door” has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, Ukraine once again gets the door slammed in its face.

The open door was only for a proxy war.

[RUSI @RUSI_org]

An ‘Article 5-style guarantee’ for Ukraine makes little sense, argues Eric Ciaramella. No country has been willing to send combat forces to Ukraine, so a promise to defend it would lack credibility. Ukraine and its partners have ‘a realistic alternative: to build up and sustain the Ukrainian armed forces as the guarantor of the country’s long-term security.’

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Former U.S. President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden faced pro-Palestine protests as they departed an event at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.

Protesters chanted, "Blood on your hands," at Biden, referring to his complicity in the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, stemming from the political and military support his administration provided to Israel throughout the genocidal war.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

@TVietor08 The other side of a genocide

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

In a few years, I’m confident that there will be no more liberal genocide deniers to boo at. For Democratic voters, Israel apologia is an increasingly disqualifying position.

[Tony Hawk @socialism_thawk]

Listen to the Crooked Con panelist from J Street say that Abdul and Troy Jackson didn’t perform “as well as others” because they described Gaza as a genocide and then the speaker gets booed by the crowd and says “Boo if you want, I’m right”

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

@DylanBurns1776 If you think I’m full of myself, wait till you hear about US politicians who gloat about the “beauty” of Ukrainians killing and dying on their behalf

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

I called my book on the Ukraine proxy war "Their Blood, Our Bullets" for a reason:

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

@Switch82Vet No that’s the beauty of this, we can pay the Ukrainians to kill the Russians.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

The Secretary celebrates "the economic pain that is being inflicted" on Iranian civilians--the main target of sanctions. Right after his party just lost an election because that pain redounded to his own population.

I have said that I don't think Trump is going to return to war, and will settle for inflicting more economic pain. Unwilling to engage in diplomacy, I think more sadism is the plan.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Marco Rubio on Iran:

The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now, and on that regime, is extraordinary, and it compounds.

It’s growing every day, like these sanctions. They get worse.

Over time, they get more painful as time goes on.
