Upon my word as a Biden I am committed to ensuring that you all have access to paying $12,000 a year that you don't have for "insurance" so that when you get sick you have access to paying an $8,000 deductible that you don't have so that you can file a claim that will be denied.

Americans get 2 weeks PTO a year.

Europeans get 6 weeks minimum.

We work more. Sleep less. Die earlier.

And we put flags on everything and call it freedom.

I don't know if y'all have tried calling any national government services in the past year or two but they do not answer the phone and constantly cite being unable to handle the current volume of calls. This is the IRS, this is the DOL, this is the SSA. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 broke everything.

This is the moment an old Palestinian woman is evicted from her house by Zionists .

The house, which had been in her family for generations, was given to Jewish settler from Eastern Europe, people who had no connection to Palestine.

🚨 Cops step out, the homeowner shuts the door, and a snowflake officer suddenly claims the door “hit” him, then arrests and tries to tase the guy in his own house.

We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.

Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.

Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.

They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.

He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.

And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.

But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)

What the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

This isn’t Lebanon.

This is Gaza right now.

Israel is dropping bombs on tents packed with families in the middle of the night in Khan Younis.

This is what they call a “ceasefire.”

[Jejune The Annihilator @Midnight_JJ0]

Katie Gluek, the NYT hack who wrote the smear piece on Graham Platner, has parents who are *Israeli settlers* in the West Bank. As usual, the Israel lobby is demonizing a candidate b/c he's dared to criticize Israel. Many will be duped by these reprehensible tactics as usual

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

The US, a World Cup host, denied 15 visas to officials on Iran's football team.

If this were Russia, they'd have been stripped of hosting it after what they've done in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The United States has denied entry to Iraq's official photographer for the World Cup.

He was detained for at least 12 hours and in the end was sent back to his country.

Israel just assassinated Ali in South Lebanon.

Not a fighter. Not armed.

Ali was a nurse.

They hunted him down with a drone, and executed him as he made his way to work at Hiram hospital in Tyre.

Israel isn’t targeting combatants.

It’s targeting the people who save lives.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

Trump’s name appears over 38,000 times in over 5,800 documents in the Epstein files.

If you printed out those 5,800+ documents on 8.5” x 11” paper and placed them end to end, the Trump Epstein files documents would go from one end of the reflecting pool to the other, then back to the start, and then 2/3 of the way back again.

The Justice Department told reporters it yanked a photo of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick from its Epstein database as part of a routine nudity review.

كُنت حامل في شهري التاسع وأشعر بتحاسيس الولادة وقلت لزوجي وأهله أشعر بمغص فقمت بتحضير حقيبه الولادة
ونمت
وفي الساعه العاشره وربع مساءً بلحظة غدر تم قصف البيت واستشهد زوجي وتوأمه وأمه وابنتي ذات العامين
لم أتذكر سوى خيالات أشلائهم وفقدت وعيي
استيقظت وجدت نفسي في العناية المركزة مصابة بعد ٤٨ ساعه غيبوبه تم بتر رجلي ولم يستطيع الأطباء إنقاذ ابني وتم دفنهم جميعهم دون وداعهم
رحمهم اللّٰه
وبقيت وحدي
