I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.
So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.
They hate her because she shows what can be done.
⚡️Iranian official says, “At this point, reaching an agreement [with Trump] is not really feasible.”
🔺 “The primary person responsible for the current situation is Donald Trump himself,” the Iranian official told me, referring to Israel’s massive escalation in its attacks against Lebanon and Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel.
🔺 “Should Israel carry out another attack on Beirut in the coming days, missiles will immediately target areas within the occupied territories in retaliation,” the official said.
🔺 “For nearly 20 days, the draft of a potential agreement has been on [Trump’s] desk,” said the official, adding that Trump is “driven by his fear of the Israeli lobby and his hope that the naval blockade plan will prove effective.”
“Iran will no longer accept or tolerate his current position.”
🔺The two central issues the official emphasized are: Israel’s war against Lebanon and expanded occupation of the south; and Trump’s refusal to unfreeze Iranian funds for reconstruction.
@cfthepodcast It’s wild to think that Janet Mills has a better shot at beating Susan Collins so why even oxygen to a bunch of uncorroborated claims from a republican operative 🤦
From now on, I’m done engaging with negativity about Platner. That’s exactly what his opponents want. They can’t beat him on policy, so they’re trying to shift the conversation to his personal life. I hope he ignores the smears and stays focused on his message.
Even with Katie Porter's numbers added to Steyer's he still doesn't have enough to be second.
California really does hate Republicans but love Neo-Liberalism. People wonder why homelessness is so bad.
