“It’s continuing now. There is no ceasefire. People are getting killed every day.”

Doctor @HamawyForNJ protests Israeli PM Netanyahu and Israel’s genocide in Gaza in New York City.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

After Benjamin Netanyahu, who I believe is a war criminal, just came and went from New York, I’ve been thinking a lot about the world my first granddaughter is about to enter.

No child should have to grow up wondering whether the next bomb is going to hit their home. No parent should have to wonder whether they can feed their kid or keep them alive. And American taxpayer dollars should not be used to keep fueling that suffering.

Susan Collins has voted again and again to send billions in military aid to Israel throughout this war. She’s part of the same broken Washington system that keeps funding these conflicts while working people here get screwed.

When I get to the United States Senate, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop the killing, get humanitarian aid to the people who need it, and stop writing blank checks for endless wars.

I've been clear where I stand since Day One, and Mainers can check my website to see where I stand.

There is no Republican "split" with Trump. It's catnip for access media, but the ploy to align with the supermajority of voters who can't stand the president is tissue-thin. The same people calling to end the Iran war voted yesterday to keep it going.

She had NO idea who she just sat between. 🤣🤣

I love that she plopped down right in the middle of Mamdani and the Irish Prime Minister for her photo.
And the best part is they both just went with it.

NYC is so unserious for this LOL @NYCMayor @MichealMartinTD

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Chris Rabb, Dr. Adam Hamawy, and Melat Kiros interviewed at @jvplive NYC protest of Benjamin Netanyahu

Rabb: "Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be in the Hague.

We're sending money to support a genocide, and bombing in Iran and Lebanon and so forth, when that money needs to be used at home."

Hamawy: "I'm here to stand up against genocide. I'm here to protest Netanyahu being allowed into this country, not being arrested, and allowed to speak in the United Nations, which is supposed to be the international body upholding international law.

He should be tried in the Hague as the war criminal he is."

Kiros: "I've been standing with Palestine since I got fired three years ago from my job. I will always stand with the people that are standing against a genocide. This is about humanity, making sure our tax dollars are not complicit in these atrocities."

@NathanJRobinson Is there someone besides AOC that could help fundraise for him. Seems obvious that Jackson is behind in that area or else, he wouldn't have allowed DSCC taking over the campaign.

Brazilian President Lula to Zohran Mamdani:

Since you are a very young person, with many years of life ahead of you, I hope you are prepared to become a great soldier in the struggle to put an end to — or reduce — poverty and the invisibility in which the world’s poor people live.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

What is the statute of limitations on the bribery Susan Collins is accused of here? She even appears to have called the felon to thank him for his bribe. This is straight up criminal behavior ProPublica found:

“After the budgets became law, Collins’ office pushed the Navy to award specific contracts to Navatek, emails seen by ProPublica show, even though awards are supposed to be competitive.
“I spoke with Sen. Collins office regarding the $8M,” a naval official wrote in an email on Feb. 6, 2019. “The interested company is Navatek.”
In a meeting with Collins and two campaign officials, Kao said, the officials told him the senator expected his ongoing support. Collins told him: “You’ve seen me deliver,” Kao said.
Reed knew Kao was behind the $150,000 anonymous donation, emails showed, because Kao told Reed he planned to donate through a shell company. “Very smart,” Reed replied in an email viewed by ProPublica.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks announced he will not clear the Trump administration’s proposed $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel due to concerns that those munitions would not be used in accordance with U.S. and international law.

@MeidasTouch He’s not being specific because the money is going to Israel.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare.

The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and other for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

It would also close state-level loopholes that private equity firms have snuck through, prohibit corporate interference with clinical decisions, and more.

[Alayna Treene @alaynatreene]

James Talarico, in an interview down the road from the GOP midterm convention, tells me he's "unhappy" with the Democratic Party's brand

"I’m also unhappy with the Democratic Party nationally,” Talarico said. “I’m unhappy with its inability to fight for working people. And so that’s why I call myself a Texas Democrat in the tradition of Lyndon Johnson and Barbara Jordan and Lloyd Bentsen — people who fought for the middle class"

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

James Talarico: “I don’t take money from data centers. I don’t take any corporate PAC money. I answer to the people of Texas. If data centers can’t meet the demands of the people in these communities, if they can’t pay for their own energy, if they can’t recycle their own water, then they shouldn’t be built. Period. Full stop. We cannot let AI become another arena where billionaires write the rules for the rest of us”

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Donald Trump wrecked the economy.

Now, he's promising relief only if his party wins the election.

Americans are suffering and all Trump has to offer is yet another hollow promise he is bound to break, just like all the rest.
