INCREDIBLE!

Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.

Congrats!!

With the White House Correspondents Association declaring Donald Trump an “honoree” at tonight’s dinner, I declined an organization’s invitation to attend. The sane washing of Trump and his war on the press is dangerous. And the WHCA is an absolute disgrace. #WHCD

“Open the road.”

Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in the town of Um al-Khair in Masafer Yatta—calling for their basic right to access their school.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.

A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.

This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin to stop an executive order that targets federal contractors and subcontractors and undermines efforts to promote inclusion and equal opportunity.

This unconstitutional EO threatens civil and criminal prosecution for contractors who do not comply with the admin’s anti-DEIA agenda. We’ll see them in court.

Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int'l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.

Israel bombed the Rafie Nia Synagogue in Tehran.

Yes, you read that right. Israel bombed a synagogue. In Iran.

Most Americans probably didn't know that there are ~100 synagogues in Iran, 30 of which are in Tehran.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Manchin told @WSJ Cornyn personally begged him to vote to preserve the filibuster when Dems were in power.

“He said, ‘Joe…you get rid of this filibuster and I guarantee you it’ll ruin the Senate. It’ll ruin the way we do business here," Manchin recalled.

Why is AIPAC spending so heavily against liberal supporters of Israel? I reported out the answer to this as AIPAC follows up its attacks on Tom Malinowski with more attacks on liberal Zionist Daniel Biss. https://t.co/uovjv8IpAI

[jennifer salan @jensalan]

@JonLemire I saw your segment on The Voice of Hind Rajab - but you never mentioned how the little girl was killed or by whom. Why was her family killed leaving her all alone.? What happened to her? Just curious if you know the back story here.

We have been told that Gaza’s borders are closed indefinitely. If they stay closed, @wckitchen will run out of food this week. We are cooking 1M hot meals every day. We need food deliveries every single day to feed hungry families who are not part of this war. All the NGOs in Gaza need more food, medicine, medical equipment, fuel, tents, personal care every day. We cannot wait...let the humanitarian trucks go through today! #ChefsForGaza

Our nation lost a great leader with the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. and Arab Americans lost a champion. AAI's foundation was partly a product of Rev. Jackson’s commitment to justice for all and we continue the fight in his honor.
