She can’t endorse @saikatc but can endorse this dude?
David Weigel@daveweigel
Haven’t seen anyone else point out/criticize this; AOC endorsed a police officer who, if he gets to Congress, will likely vote more with Cuellar than her.

There’s something similar about the four cabinet members pushed out by Trump, but I can’t quite put my finger on it 🤔🤔

You have been in office since I was 17 years old. Your career is nothing more than failed impeachments. The day you leave office everyone will immediately forget you ever existed.
You inspire no one. Stand for nothing - and have no influence outside of the msnow greenroom.

My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

OH MY GOD: Diet-MAGA democrat John Fetterman was just exposed by NY Mag for
- having a literal Israeli handler (David "Dovi" Safier) WHO IS FROM THE ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
- secretly meeting with pro-Israel pro-Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson IN ISRAEL
- privately saying "Epstein was a nothingburger"
- privately mocking the idea of universal healthcare
- very recently floating the idea of being VP on the dem ticket in 2028 (lol)
This man is both completely compromised and deeply brain damaged. He needs to resign

@RonFilipkowski I really hope he tries so we can finally do what is necessary to purge republicans party and ban their existence just like Germany did the Nazi Party.

Marge Greene says she is concerned that Trump is going to cancel the 2028 election to remain in power and will use an ongoing war as his justification.

@davidsirota He defeated the Democratic Party because tech oligarchs like Elon musk admitted that they riggged it.
English
The autopsy should be released, but nobody with a functioning brain stem needs an Official DNC Autopsy™ to know why Trump defeated a Democratic Party that had no economic message, that shunned anti-oligarch politics & whose leaders did nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza.

If Graham Platner's day wasn't bad enough... here he is talking about Thai prostitutes.
“Spend your leave banging hookers in Thailand instead of getting b*tched at by the wife back home, and you could sell it as avoiding federal income tax.”

@cenkuygur @grahamformaine Progressives are attacking him just as much because they can’t get over some Reddit comments and a tattoo of a symbol they didn’t even know about until 5 mins ago
English
We finally have a candidate that is beating Susan Collins in Maine! @grahamformaine has an unprecedented seven point lead! So, Democratic leaders should be ecstatic, right? Nope, exact opposite. He won’t serve Israel and the corporate donors, so they’re pissed he’s going to win.

Zero out taxes for the bottom half of earners. A nurse in Queens shouldn’t be sending money to Washington. Washington should be sending her an apology.

Jeff Bezos says taxes for lower salary workers are too high: "It's kind of absurd that we're doing this ... We shouldn't be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington."

@johnrockshomes You deserve prison just for being stupid enough support with all your heart a criminal scammer and pedo

I am a J6er.
I protested a stolen election. Walked right past the police through an open door, and the police let me in.
My father's step son turned me into the FBI. My house was raided.
They branded me a traitor, and insurrectionist, slapped me on a terrorist watchlist.
I plead guilty to illegal picketing, a Class B petty offense misdemeanor with the same sentencing guidelines as walking your dog off leash on a National Park .
They swore no prison time. They lied. Judge Hogan sentenced me to 30 days for “not being remorseful enough” and three years’ probation to tie me up through elections.
An unconstitutional "split" sentence. My Judge, Judge Hogan called J6 worse than the war of 1812.
All I did was chant "Stop the Steal!" inside the Capitol and wear the wrong Tshirt.
God Bless the J6ers!

@AnaKasparian @RepSchneider Isreal is a threat to America’s national security on so many levels. Their national interests aren’t just not ours, they are directly detrimental to ours. The rest of the world has figured this out. But we can’t because America was founded by religious cultish puritans
English
No one in the U.S., and certainly no American politician, should give a damn about what is or isn't "detrimental to Israel's national interests." Who gives a shit? If you do, go live in Israel and give up your seat to someone who gives a shit about OUR country. You know, the one where tens of millions have no healthcare? The country where young families can't afford to buy a house?
You, as a UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN, should be working to STOP giving genocidal war criminals OUR money and support. And if you think Ben Gvir is the only issue with Israel, you're high out of your mind.
English
Ben Gvir is a national disgrace and a threat to Israel’s security and standing in the world. I have called for his termination before and call for it again today. No civilized country should have a man like him in its government, let alone a position of power.
Rep. Brad Schneider@RepSchneider
Itamar Ben Gvir's conduct as Israel's National Security Minister has long been detrimental to Israel’s national interests and its international standing. Given the recent findings by Israel's Public Defender of widespread torture and abuse of detainees in Israel's prisons, which Ben Gvir should never have been given authority over in the first place, he should be removed from office immediately.

We’re not there yet, folks. Vote for Ken Paxton.

@Upstate_Life @briebriejoy I only excuse it to you people who are totally fine when your preferred president donald trump does it. Y’all are just maga at this point
English
@CunningOfTheFox @briebriejoy Imagine excusing Dem hypocrisy because you are brainwashed.
English
They’ve trained you guys to now even hate AOC and Mandami at this point. You’re part of a conservative psyop. None of you peanut gallery progressives have done dick for the working class except make sure the people who want to squeeze them get elected and all your little protest vote did was make the genocide in Gaza somehow worse than it already was.
English
@CunningOfTheFox @briebriejoy Nobody is arguing for voting for republicans you absolute misguided dumb fuck. We are against the duopoly!! We need a third party to represent the working class, and oppose genocide. I guess American supremacy makes the genocide acceptable for you.

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay
Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

Trump bombs fishing boats at sea, at least once bombed the shipwrecked survivors, and bombed an elementary school, killing more than 165 little girls. And he wants to indict Raul Castro.

🛩️🇨🇺MythBreakers: Exposing the Brothers to the Rescue hoax Is it true that the illegal flights over national territory in the mid-1990s were simple humanitarian or civil activities? The facts demonstrate the aggressive operational coordination amongst actions. These were not random flights; they were calculated incursions designed to support provocations from the sea and drop subversive propaganda, that could have evolved in any sort of aggression. This was recorded in the chronology of the air defense: ➡️July 13, 1995: Two light aircraft violated the restricted zone north of the capital, overflying Havana at a very low altitude in direct support of an anti-Cuban naval flotilla that had penetrated jurisdictional waters. ➡️September 2, 1995: Five Cessna aircraft and five helicopters carried out maneuvers in support of another flotilla off the coast of Varadero. ➡️January 9 and 13, 1996: Three light aircraft once again violated the Cuban airspace, over Guanabo and Santa María del Mar, dropping leaflets across several points along the coastline. ➡️The systematic nature of these operations evidences an agenda of open provocation that flagrantly defied aeronautical laws. 📸@NSArchive

@ggreenwald Hey Glenn you don’t think it was necessary to condemn the guy who got a quarter billion in campaign funding from an Israeli billionaire BEFORE the election instead of spending that David Sacks money humanizing conservatives.
English
I can't think of a more glaring and revealing political irony than a politician who called his ideology "America First" proudly *boasting* that he's far more popular in Israel than in his own country: in fact, so popular there that he could be elected Prime Minister of Israel.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Trump: "I'm right now at 99% in Israel. I could run for prime minister, so maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel and run for prime minister."
