Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@liron @boneseggsbones @CHSommers Here, again, are the facts you refuse to face: This survey, which I linked earlier, indicates that the majority of Israelis -51.7% favor annexation of Palestinian land and only 27.9% oppose... far short of your 80%. It's fair to assume that Palestinian animosity may be worse.

@gitis @boneseggsbones @CHSommers I'm still trying to clarify how you think the reality of both sides's primary objective differs from my goal. I estimate that a pretty consistent 80% of Israelis have a clear #1 priority to have peace in Israel and 80% of Palestinians have a clear #1 priority to take over Israel

Pressed by my questions, Trump’s judicial nominees give identical, nonsensical canned responses—looking ridiculous & demonstrating an abject absence of independence & integrity. Lacking a backbone now, they won’t have one on the bench.

The IDF is erasing cemeteries in Gaza and building bases where Palestinian graves used to be. This is the second cemetery the IDF turned to a base, and two more IDF bases were built on top of mosques. Source: Haaretz

@liron @boneseggsbones @CHSommers Your claim becomes increasingly arguable the more Israel paints the Palestinians into an existential corner. Cultivating grievance is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Israel's refusal to cultivate partnerships, and favor of ethnic cleansing, only serves to aggravate thirst for revenge

@gitis @boneseggsbones @CHSommers I'm not asking about your opinion of my argument, I'm asking to contrast what you'd claim in opposition to my central claim. (My central claim is that median Israeli's #1 priority is for sovereign Jewish Israel not to be conquered, while median Pal's priority is to conquer it.)

@liron @boneseggsbones @CHSommers /2 I also think the Israel/Palestine issue is more pressing than AI doom risk. If humans can't learn to align with each other, how could we reasonably expect a superintelligence to align with us, or even presume alignment would be workable? Predatory habits are not a good look.

@gitis @boneseggsbones @CHSommers Remind me, your central disagreement is you think Palestinians foresee an ideal solution where they don't get to conquer Israel at all, they just have a great life outside its borders?

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump. It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

"Even if the collateral damage is children or women I don't care. We back our soldiers at any cost... In Jenin there are no innocent civilians, no innocent children. Those who were born in 2006 are the Nukhbas of 2026" Yesterday in the Knesset: Jewish Power MK Yitzhak Kroizer is referring to the recent murder of the Bani Odeh family in Tammun, near Jenin, by Israeli Border Police "mista'arvim". Last week, while defending the same murder during a Knesset Channel interview, Kroizer argued that the family would have been alive today, if it had only left Palestine (see quoted tweet).
B.M.@ireallyhateyou

Jewish Power MK and head of the Knesset's Internal Affairs and Environment Committee, Yitzhak Kroizer, last Tuesday: On Lebanon: "There's no choice but to expel and clean out the entire area up to the Litani River, clean it of Lebanese civilians... Sovereignty and settlement" On Syria: "We should settle (in the buffer zone)" About the Palestinian family murdered in Tammun, West Bank: "If this family were living in Jordan, it probably was still alive" About Palestine: "There is room for one nation between the river and the sea, it's the Jewish nation" Aired on Knesset Channel.

@liron @boneseggsbones @CHSommers The Oslo agreement stipulated that no party should take "unilateral steps" that would "change the status" in occupied territory. After signing, the Israelis claimed that settlements were allowed. So of course they prefer it. For Palestinians, land theft is not peace. Simple.

@gitis @boneseggsbones @CHSommers Let me try restating the claim like this because I'm afraid you're missing the point: The median Israeli would LOVE a good-faith compromise on the Oslo terms. The median Palestinian would HATE such a compromise. There lies the big asymmetry.

@cabsav456 Remember Ashley Babbitt, aka Tip of The Spear of the Insurrection, who was at the head of a crowd that was bashing down doors with members of Congress nearly in reach, and who was the first of them to try to jump through the window they smashed? Her family reaped $5 million.

So let me get this straight. The previous administration criminally prosecuted Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn pleaded GUILTY to the charges. Then Trump 2.0 pardons Michael Flynn. Flynn sues the previous administration for politically motivated prosecution. ...And the current Trump administration is settling the lawsuit with taxpayer dollars an UNDISCLOSED amount of $. There needs to be a law against this kind of self-dealing. This is absolutely maddening.
Zoe Tillman@ZoeTillman

NEW: DOJ has reached a financial settlement with Michael Flynn, the conservative activist and former Trump adviser who sought millions for what he alleged was a politically motivated prosecution. No $ details in court notice today, more to come buff.ly/ccz6Hj3 Prev: buff.ly/sWZrlKV

As of today only 54% of Americans describe Trump as corrupt. No, really.

Trump was elected on promises to help working Americans catch up. His policies are having the opposite effect. Together, his tariffs and “One Big Beautiful Bill” will decrease incomes for the poorest Americans and disproportionately benefit the highest earners. @TaxPolicyCenter
