Just so you understand, this is wall street, the military industrial complex, the Israel lobby, big tech AI money and all kinds of corporate money declaring war on the only faction of the dems that believes in something and knows how to fight Trump. 'Third Way' is a Diet MAGA op.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Leftists accused of antisemitism (Mamdani, AES) go out of their way to say they love Jews and promise to protect them.
Conservatives accused of Islamophobia (Loomer, Fine, Tuberville, etc) proudly say ‘Yeah we don’t want Muslims here.’
Guess which ones the media covers intensely?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu: I need $12 billion
Trump: Approved

Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion
Trump: Approved

Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion
Trump: Approved

Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut
Trump: Approved

Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied

👏🏽 @hasanthehun: "The endless Democrat problem is that the voters are far more woke than you are. They vote for you either reluctantly or you duped them into believing you cared about those values. Perhaps now, when there are real alternatives that fit that standard far better, you guys are freaking the fuck out because it makes you look like a fraud. This is the issue for a lot of Democrats. They keep complaining about the voters not voting for them and voting for someone else. Is AOC getting outflanked by her left in her district? Is Bernie Sanders? Is Rashida Tlaib? Is Ilhan Omar? Perhaps there's a reason. Just be a fucking public servant and do the bidding of the masses, the people that fucking voted for you."

Blows my mind not just how many people will accept money to give a certain political opinion, but also how those people can continue to maintain an audience when they are exposed as hacks.

You’re allowed to complain about the air quality because it is a health hazard. What you’re not allowed to do is blame Canada as if this is a targeted attack. Everyone should be blaming politicians from both countries who refuse to fund environmental and climate scientists

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

As American politicians rage about Canadian wildfires spreading smoke into our airspace, American wildfires are jumping the border into Canada.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

if three years into a televised genocide you cannot call a thing what it is for fear of losing donations, just give up and go away forever. you have failed the moral test of our time. you shouldn’t be trusted running a lemonade stand much less a country

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Sheesh those AIPAC dollars really working.

[Christina Henderson @chenderson]

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell is essentially on paid sick & medical leave.

The same employment protection he has spent his career blocking other Americans from having.

Unpopular opinion: I believe the goal of a society SHOULD be to secure the happiness and highest quality of life possible for its citizens NOT to endlessly generate capital for the ownership class at the expense of everyone else.

[K. @IbaraEleven]

Now that Platner has ended his campaign democrats will subvert democracy in Maine and install a pro-Israel corporate candidate who represents the complete opposite of the platform Platner won on. And then they’ll shame voters when they don’t show up in November.

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

Btw this is why like half the population doesn’t vote anymore. Why would anyone bother when the parties have nothing but contempt for you and what you want and will override you whenever they can?

[Czarina @fishontherun02]

All your rage should be directed at Graham Platner for being a violent narcissist who undermined a movement aimed at creating a more equitable politics, immediately followed by the Dem party in Maine who is now going to circumvent public will to anoint another corporate shill

[Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh]

Mamdani more popular than Netanyahu among U.S. Jews.

The AP poll suggests that Mamdani’s positions on Israel have not prevented him from maintaining a net-positive image among American Jews overall. https://t.co/RXqOQKrBU4

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Maybe Republicans should spend more time condemning stuff like this and less time condemning the mayor of New York.

[Sawyer Hackett @SawyerHackett]

Literal Nazis marching the streets of DC for America’s 250th anniversary.

That’s Trump’s America.

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

In the past hour, the Trump admin has deleted their web page that recommended setting thermostats between 75-78 during heat waves, and 85 if you are not home, after the GOP learned that Mayor Mamdani was urging New Yorkers to follow White House guidance.
