I’m in Zabouba in the northern occupied West Bank, where children are playing in the ruins of an olive field that the IDF spent the day destroying.

This man thinks you are stupid and that if he lies enough that people will believe him, but journalists like @NickKristof and @Atul_Gawande and many others have documented specific individuals, often children, who died because Elon gutted USAID programs

Hasan Piker: “I think everyone understands pro-Israel politics is demonstrably unpopular and it’s only going to get less popular from this point on. Today is the most popular Israel will be, tomorrow Israel will be less popular than it was today, and yesterday Israel was more popular than it is today”

Not only is it hilarious that these losers put out a “moderate manifesto” but it speaks to how they view voters. They believe they should get to choose the voters while pretending to be the “party of democracy.”

This is strong messaging from Bernie-endorsed lefty congressional candidate in Colorado @MelatKirosCO, who could be the next progressive insurgent who unseats a sitting House Dem, in a competitive primary on Tuesday. Let's see.

A major reason this pledge is getting rightfully mocked is because it’s signed by politicians who have actively spent their careers working against these things while attacking the people working towards them.

There’s a reason they don’t cite polices or a platform, because they have nothing to substantiate it. It’s a pre-election PR campaign.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: Future Congresswoman Chevalier represents actual voters. A district filled with black and brown people. And what James Carville is saying is a “statement on how he feels about black and brown people, and the fact that they are useful to him when they vote the way that he agrees with. When they don’t, kick them out of the party. They don’t deserve representation.”

Coates said the Democratic Party “owes its very present existence to the Black freedom struggle.” “Is it actually honoring the core morality and principles of that struggle?” he asked.

90% of rent stabilized units in NYC are owned by large mega corporations that you as a billionaire contribute to and profit from.

The imaginary mom and pop landlord you’re describing doesn’t exist.

These made up stories don’t resonate with real people because they’re not real.

Good. He should never be able to be in public without being heckled again.

He should be in prison.

Diane Abbott was asked if she thinks Andy Burnham will take the Labour Party back to the left.

Personally, I think he will—a little bit—but only enough to win back the people who care more about the frequency of buses than they do about genocide.

It won’t change much.

when’s the last time you attended an anti ice protest? dsa was there at every protest. there’s a reason why voters trust democratic socialists more than establishment dems who are now trying to desperately re-triangulate their anti ice messaging after voting to fund ice.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"

The most obvious answer for “Why is MAGA’s most respectable far right propagandist hiring so many mainstream British political commentators” is “The British press is ram-packed with utterly repellent wingnut cranks” https://t.co/AnVOyrIJLT

[Cameron Kasky @camkasky]

Mayor Mamdani gives the correct answer. When people ask you about Israel’s “right to exist” as a “Jewish state,” what they’re really asking is if it has a right to function as a Jewish supremacist state. Which it does not.

Hi! 👋 Child of a landlord here. My stepfather isn’t using your rent money to improve your unit—that driveway is never getting fixed. He’s in Amsterdam *right now* doing mushrooms in a $600/night Airbnb.
