America has moved so far right that “your taxes should pay for your healthcare” is considered radical, but “your taxes should pay for another country’s bombs” is considered moderate

Had to look up "wood cricket Jew"...imagine calling another human being an insect controlled by a parasite and thinking the others were the bigots.

Disgusting.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

This Wood Cricket Jew, @jonstewart, is the epitome of a castrated smug imbecile. Knows nothing. Understands nothing. Experienced nothing. But because he is a progressive "comedian," he has a platform to spew his self-loathing shite.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Impeachment

Q: MAGA Inc., the Super PAC that your allies control--

Trump: Not my allies, I control. $800M. I could spend it on anything I want. I have a busy schedule. I won. I'm not campaigning. A lot of people are angry at Republicans. They are not angry at me.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Crybully Republicans in leadership rely on civility politics to rhetorically cheat their way into power - provide a false sense of confidence and kayfabe for their voter base without any response from their Dem counterpart.

It ends now.

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

I’ve always said the response to a blunt, unapologetic, norm disruptor Donald Trump will have to be a blunt, unapologetic, norm disruptor Democrat.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Ben calls liberal Jews a "category error", tries to separate ethnicity from practice (intimating that only practicing Jews are the "real" Jews).

But that "error" is EMBRACED by Israel. An atheist Jew born in Texas can emigrate to Israel and receive FULL CITIZENSHIP.

Bad faith.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Caring about the state of Israel ‘is part of Jewish practice,’ according to Ben Shapiro.

If a non-Jew said this, they’d (rightly) be accused of antisemitism, of conflating Jews with Israel, of saying Jews have dual loyalties.

But Shapiro just says it. Proudly.

@mehdirhasan Time to debate Medhi, @benshapiro

Take your medicine.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.

Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something.

"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to rubber-stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting." — "Roger!"

"Mike" — and this one's Donald Trump — "I need you to lick these boots." — "Roger!"

And I think—I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong!

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 98.5%.

@JewishWonk My questions are trying to reveal differences between criticism of Zionist policies with Jew-hating. It doesn't sound like it's possible in your view to have one without the other.

You make too many assumptions about me. You can have last word. Thanks for the conversation. 🤝

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

@JewishWonk 1) apologies for the typo
2) It doesn't. Having a disagreement about whether a government is promoting apartheid doesn't make one side a "jew hater". Argue on the merits and evidence is good faith.
3) I care about the safety of American Jews, full stop.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

@JewishWonk Is criticizing the Lakud party specifically for furthering the apartheid style regime of Israel or advocating for a one state solution and the abolition of ethnonationalist policies in Israel also anti-Semitic?

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

NEW: New Yorkers have started a trend of tagging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to report problems around the city and the fixes are happening so quickly that the videos are going viral.

A dangerous playground hazard was repaired after a resident wrote a letter. A pothole was filled the same day it was posted online. And ahead of this week’s heat wave, the city installed temporary water fountains in Prospect Park.

The message from City Hall: no problem is too small to fix.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

This is OBJECTIVELY the correct answer. Anyone who disagrees, Democrat or MAGA, Has Abdul Derangement Syndrome.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸🇮🇱 They asked Abdul El-Sayed point-blank if he opposes funding Israel’s Iron Dome.

“I just don’t understand why anybody thinks it’s the right thing to send our tax dollars abroad to fund foreign militaries when our own kids barely get to go to schools that are functional.”

Simple: American kids first, American schools first, and American communities first.

.@JamesTalarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.

The Powell memo outlined a strategy. Unite corporate special interests, privilege corporate perspectives in the media, appoint sympathetic judges to the court, and buy politicians in both political parties.

And it worked. Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle-down economics. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft.

Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Trump murders basic ethics on a daily basis and at unprecedented levels of corruption.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: What message does it send if Trump fires a US attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime?

BLANCHE: If he fires a US attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that because he's the president

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Zionists can't help but equivocate constantly between Israel and Jews...even to actual Jewish.

It's exhausting.

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."

[Justin Morris @tchsmorris]

Loser.

FOX: What's your big message on the economy?

TRUMP: Tariffs have been incredible

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I appreciate AIPAC proving it doesn’t belong in the Dem Party and especially our primaries.

From endorsing Jan 6th members to ensuring Congress remains in the hands of a 34-count felon, AIPAC is an org committed to undermining democracy at home and abroad.

See you in November.
