Am Yisrael Chai! Brief thread.👇

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Thank you Ro. I know why I lost. And it’s not because of the economic concerns of working families (which was the centerpiece of my campaign, in addition to being uniquely qualified and situated to hold Donald Trump accountable). Nor is it because of the war in Iran, which I aggressively opposed from its beginning.

I put forward a tax policy that would stop billionaires from using a massive tax avoidance loophole and would generate $30bn in revenue per year — more than enough to pay for universal childcare, which is one of the pillars of the Dad’s caucus I co-founded in 2023.

As you well know, Republicans are adamantly opposed to raising taxes, but despite that, I’ve gotten very positive feedback from many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. As you also well know, there is no way to pass any of our legislative priorities next term unless we get some Republican support.

And I know you know this since you were the very first Democrat to co-sponsor my bill, which I appreciate.

The voters in my district prioritized a different issue, and I respect their decision. But let’s not pretend that the outcome of my race — or Adriano’s or NY-7 — was because of economic concerns of working families struggling mightily to make ends meet.

Over 250 years, the US has built up $40T in public debt.

Trump has been in office for less than 6 years, yet accounts for $11.4T of it, nearly 29%.

No president has been worse on public debt. DOGE was a total failure, and Musk lied to you

Except for one.

[Jesse Brown @JesseBrown]

If you missed this Toronto Star "investigation" here is a 100% accurate summary:

‣A doctor at a historically Jewish hospital who serves dying Jewish patients and who has many Jewish colleagues becomes a virulent antizionist activist.

‣She goes to antizionist protests during work hours, posts polemics, and files a complaint against a Jewish colleague for his social media posts (it is dismissed).

‣An independent assessment of her workplace finds that she is "disruptive, unprofessional and (has) a disproportionately negative impact on the workplace culture."

‣Nevertheless, she is not fired or disciplined.

‣Instead, she quits and goes to the press, claiming anti-Palestinian racism (she is not Palestinian).

The self-own of all self-owns.

I am no fan on Yaxley-Lennon, but admitting that he would be lynched by angry Muslims while arguing that Islam is a religion of peace is quite the take, and here was me thinking these universities taught critical thinking.

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

I love how the cost of preventing an Islamist attack is framed as the fault of the targets, rather than the Islamists

Hi Michigan! Polls don’t vote! People do! Vote for Haley Stevens!

[Tanja @WeSee2024]

Just to think if Haley Stevens loses, they’ll lose all of that support in their communities.

Abdul has been there all his life and none say this about him.

As Senator he’s made it clear, he’ll be about AIPAC, Israel, Chuck Schumer, and going after Fetterman.

[Rita Powell @Rizabellepow]

This man harassed a woman and is bragging about it. We should probably look it I his past, right? Because this probably isn’t the first time. Ladies, has @waltermasterson harassed you before?

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

An Israeli survivor of October 7th recounts seeing Palestinian civilians laughing as they raped a woman they had pulled out of a car, then slaughtered her with a knife and continued to rape the dead body while laughing.

Never forget. Never forgive. Never again.

[HJB News @HJB_News__]

This is the face you make when you are too stupid to realise you just made the other side's point for them.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

So the far right in Spain end their speeches about immigration with a Nazi salute.

And the far left in Spain end their posts about immigration with accusations against Israel.

Do I have that right? Or am I mixing it up? 🇪🇸

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

I'd been hearing from folks in Michigan that there's real Stevens momentum on the ground. Then I see this clip. The enthusiasm is real. Vote @HaleyforMI to keep Michigan blue.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

No

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

I was named Michigan’s most effective Democrat in Congress because I get shit done.

➡️ Stood up to Wall Street greed to protect MI workers’ pensions
➡️ Helped lower drug costs for seniors and capped insulin at $35
➡️ Secured funding for MI infrastructure projects
➡️ Wrote legislation to stop ICE, hold Trump accountable, and lower grocery costs
➡️ Leading the fight to protect Social Security

[Russell Drew @RussOnPolitics]

@RoKhanna Dan Goldman can be proud. He didn't give into the mob. He didn't cave hoping to be the last one they came for. As Churchill said, an appeaser is someone who feeds the alligator hoping it will eat him last. He has more honor in his pinky that you do in your whole body, Ro Khanna.

[Avi Flombaum @aviflombaum]

I think what Dan is saying is that what those candidates are actually winning on is making the vote about AIPAC and Israel which is basically igniting antisemitism as the primary driver. Blaming AIPAC and Israel for high prices and your economic issues and saying their populist/socialist ideas are the answer is the problem. This is the standard trope of antisemitism in politics. Hitler came to power the same way.

[Professor Pragmatism @Jacko25647421]

@RoKhanna Man if being forced to “call for an end to the occupation or a Palestinian state” is a requirement for getting Dem nominations a lot of Dem votes will be lost in general elections

And to be clear Dan Goldman was a vocal advocate for an end to the violence & 2 state solution
