@matthewstoller @ddayen Eh their position was that Trump was a meanie for not asking them whether they wanted to bomb an elementary school for Israel. Process bullshit as usual

Funny that Trump may end the Iran war with a U.S. military defeat before the Democrats even develop a position on the conflict.

And just like that, Trump acknowledges the obvious - the U.S. lost and Iran now has hegemony over the Middle East.

@ryangrim Not exactly surprising that not many people can stand that genocidal maniac’s bullshit for more than a minute or so. Insane that anyone calls CNN liberal

I think it’s actually good if the party bosses talk themselves into underestimating Hasan but they don’t understand concurrent viewership stats. What do you think the concurrent viewer number is for Jake Tapper’s show on average? There’s a reason you have to do a bunch of math to try to figure it out. It’s low. The average CNN viewer does not watch for long.

@JDiamond1 @NTarnopolsky Important to note that this unprecedented action is still absolutely unacceptable. Nothing will happen to them except for “training”. That’s it

The IDF took what appears to be unprecedented action against the battalion involved in my team's assault & detention. In many ways, that's due to our position as US journalists. In too many cases involving Palestinian journalists & civilians, we've seen a lack of accountability.

@mabberx @esaagar Organized money completed its coup decades ago. They control the government. Corporate crime is legal now

@esaagar How is this not mail fraud?

My daughter was born 10 months ago and required a brief transfer to a speciality hospital The insurance co tells me I owe nothing: Months later the hospital sends me a bill for THOUSANDS. Insurance says hospitals just send it to see if you'll pay after a service is denied

@esaagar @musharbash_b I’ve had this EXACT thing happen to me multiple times, but in one case it turned out that the bill I got, which had extensive private medical information, was fake because the real company had a huge data breach. Scammers are everywhere

@eternallyRaq Never

So when will Cory Booker decide to start meeting the moment?

@haaretzcom Maybe Israel shouldn’t have pushed so hard for a war they can’t win

Vance seeks a quick exit from the Iran War. Where that leaves Israel doesn't seem to matter haaretz.com/us-news/2026-0…

@ibnezra Gee i wonder if their extreme bias has anything to do with the fact that all of its Israel coverage goes through a “former” Israeli spy

After so many years reading the New York Times coverage of the Middle East, I think we've taken for granted how much it has affected our understanding of the language regarding Israel and it's behavior. It's kind of the way that AI is affecting our ability to to differentiate between human and AI-generated writing. Over time, we get so used to the AI-generated writing that everything starts to sound the same. For example, I was reading updates from the Times this morning about Israel's actions in Lebanon. When you read a sentence like this: "Israel has been fighting the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in a sweeping ground offensive in the country’s south." You don't come away with a true sense of what's really happening on the ground, which is that Israel has invaded another country and is now setting up what could be a long-term occupation in that country. While this might not seem like a big deal, it's incredibly deceptive, and after years and years and years of reading this type of writing, it has completely skewed our understanding of what is happening on the ground. nytimes.com/live/2026/03/3…

@jacobkornbluh @ggreenwald That second question is a batshit insane attempt to manufacture a pro-war poll and it still failed miserably. Pathetic

🚨 New Mellman Group/Jewish Electorate Institute poll of American Jews: 32% approve of the U.S. action against Iran. 55%, including 74% of Jewish Democrats, disapprove. 83% of Orthodox Jews support the war.

@burkehenryt @MattLech Jesus Christ

The guy who thinks you should watch a movie because the AI-generated "actress" is a virgin has thoughts on why he's better than you.

@ddayen It doesn’t say that. It says “pro-Israel lobby groups and their donors”.

It is batshit insane and credibility destroying to claim that the only candidate who beat AIPAC in 2024 is an AIPAC-backed candidate

@daveweigel @umichvoter Can you read? Clearly says “pro-Israel lobby groups and their donors”. Stop whitewashing bribes from genocidal maniacs

Lumping in every pro-Israel donor with AIPAC leads to stuff like this — Min becoming an AIPAC-tainted candidate after AIPAC spent millions (unsuccessfully) to beat him theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

@gekaminsky @CBSNews @TheFP HA

Some job news: Today is my first day @CBSNews as an investigative reporter, continuing to cover money and influence in politics. Send tips, story ideas, say Hi: gabe.kaminsky@cbsnews.com, Signal (Gabe.704), same number, DM.  Grateful for my time @TheFP and super excited for this new opportunity to break more news.

@daveweigel The infographics clearly say “the Israel lobby”. AIPAC is just the largest pac of the Israel lobby. Of course all money being dumped into our elections to support a genocidal apartheid should be condemned, even if they pretend to be nice about it

Definitely what's happening with the AIPAC Tracker. "AIPAC" becoming a synecdoche for "zionists." AIPAC spends against Daniel Biss, but he's a "progressive zionist" (his words, to me) who gets donations from pro-Israel Dems. So he's red on the AIPAC Tracker.

@ddayen Newsom must never be allowed to become the 28 nominee. Is one of the most corrupt contenders and should be in prison in stead

The overriding fact about the American economy in the past 4 decades is the massive upward redistribution of wealth and income. Therefore opposition to higher taxes on the rich from Govs. Newsom & Hochul is intellectually and empirically indefensible. prospect.org/2026/03/30/k-s…

@adamjohnsonCHI To be fair, they did post a video of what they said was a “terrorist sign in sheet”, which totally wasn’t just a regular calendar or anything

People are rightly mocking this but this was also the entire basis of the “Hamas command center under al-Shifa hospital” that justified killing hundreds of patients. It was a 3D blender cartoon posted by Israel, then they occupied it and never produced a shred of evidence

@HeerJeet Netanyahu is already a kahanist. Hard to get much worse than him

Benjamin Netanyahu has been prime minister off and on for more than 17 years -- more than 20% of Israel's entire existence as a country and by far the longest serving prime minister in Israel's history. When he goes, there's every likelihood (given polling among young Israelis) that he'll be replaced by someone to the right of him, a Kahanist of some sort. That is what Israel is and any pretence otherwise is delusional.

@DouglasLFarrar @AsteadWH Donald Trump and every corrupt fuck he has doing his dirty work are traitors. If they aren’t arrested and punished to the fullest extent of the law, this country is fucked

The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!). The penalty? A promise not to do it again.

@JesusChryslerII What an insane lie

Erika Kirk suggests the impact of Druski’s viral skit has now hit close to home, saying her young daughter saw the video and believed it was actually her. She argues that the situation has gone beyond a harmless joke if it’s now causing confusion and distress for her child.

@adamwren @RahmEmanuel Lamest shit I’ve ever read. Impressive

How @RahmEmanuel eats a salad. politico.com/news/magazine/…
