103 House Democrats voted today to eliminate US military aid to Israel. Not to condition it. Not to distinguish between offensive and defensive systems. Not to suspend specific weapons pending review. To them I say: grow up. For decades, support for Israel rested on a simple proposition: Israel is a democratic ally in a region where America has few dependable friends. You can oppose settlements, criticize military operations, and vehemently dislike the Israeli government without abandoning that strategic reality. For too many in the Democratic caucus, strategic thinking has given way to ideological politics. Israel has become a symbol onto which a broader discomfort with American power - and a worldview rooted in oppression, grievance, and moral absolutism- is projected. Members of Congress have a duty to exercise independent judgment in the national interest, not to succumb to the mindless chants of the TikTok mob.

Bernie did what a primary loser is supposed to do and endorsed Clinton, despite discontent from his supporters! To get mad at him is to get mad at the very concept of US primaries, one of the most unique aspects of its democracy (and the thing making the 2PS almost work)

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) falsely claims the SAVE Act would "disenfranchise all married women... You'd have to show your birth certificate at the polls if you have a married name."

None of this is corrupt. One major drag on the party as a consequence of playing nice with the Bernie-Platner wing of the party is that we've normalized and accepted this pattern on them calling other Democrats corrupt for doing things that are completely legal and not corrupt.

There is not a Democratic candidate in recent history that is as blatantly corrupted as Haley Stevens She accepted money from 100s of corporate and insurance PACs in office/ $30+ million in AIPAC ads bankrolling her campaign. You think she's gonna stand up to the lobbies?
