Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to:
Quit calling @BernieSanders an “antisemite.”
Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption.
Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.
It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
“He is absolutely wrong. How can you all of a sudden change the tune? I’ll tell you how: When your corporate donors decide to give you more money so that you won’t.”
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon blasts Hakeem Jeffries for dropping his support for Medicare for All and says she intends to look beyond Chuck Schumer for Senate leader.
Nixon says she is “not ashamed or afraid to vote against my caucus” when it does not benefit working people.
@amidalicent Alicent has nothing to do in the book after Kings Landing falls. When the writers come up with stuff for her, it fundamentally can’t alter the main plot points. Personally, I’m happy that she wasn’t given the Otto treatment.
This is unconscionable. Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. It has to end, and we as Americans have the power to end it.
When I'm in the U.S. Senate, I’ll never vote in favor of US taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel.
Another big loser of yesterday's election: @Columbia University. For years, they sided with the Zionist lobby and the establishment, inflicting violence and repression on their own students and alumni, including Darializa. Now there'll be someone in DC holding them accountable.
im not the one who claimed to be a kingmaker. i said the opposite!! yall have spent the last 2 weeks of trumps violent & expensive iran war complaining about me! i’m just a megaphone for voters who want change. they want antiwar/anti ice dems who’ll cut off israel & fight for m4a
The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment.
Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law.
Netanyahu’s allies in the Knesset just approved a $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United States in January. It is fully within their ability to fund Iron Dome and other defensive systems.
Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act.
And the collaborators wing of the “opposition party” delayed @RoKhanna’s war powers vote just long enough to let Trump start his illegal war. Sickening.
