As we reflect and mourn this Tish B’Av let’s keep the two men stabbed outside @JewishCenterNY in our thoughts and prayers. May they experience refuah shlemah — a full and speedy recovery.

HILARIOUS: President Trump: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke. Your business model is going to be finished… That’s why tonight, to show how much I care about the press and I want to save your ratings, I am pleased to announce my intention to—and this is somewhat of a scoop—my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States… I won 3 times, now I’m going to do it again.” *Puts on ‘Trump 2028 Hat*

LMAO! President Trump just threw on a bright red TRUMP 2028 HAT as he announces a "FOURTH TERM" "Tonight, to show just how much I care about the press and I want to save your ratings, I'm pleased to announce my intention.. to run for a FOURTH TERM as president of the United States" 🤣 These people are going to have STROKES 😂

The redemption tour has begun… nytimes.com/2026/07/24/opi…

As I recalled just yesterday, Bill de Blasio simultaneously lost control of the police department and any credibility he had with the left amid the 2014 Black Lives Matter protests. Zohran Mamdani is a far more adroit politician, but this may prove a problem for him.

@NYCMayor argues that NYC “has no tolerance for hatred of any kind.” Yes, the same mayor who gave delivered antisemitic remarks on a @nycgov X account.

Most Americans think Israel has a right to exist as “the homeland of the Jewish people,” including young adults and Democrats according to the latest @HarvardCAPS-@HarrisPoll.

Abdul El-Sayed attacks Gretchen Whitmer for endorsing Haley Stevens: “The corporate establishment has closed ranks and made their pick — now, Michigan voters will get to make theirs”

@nytimes this is what it looks like when disagreement over a museum exhibit turns into an official act of the state

Breaking News: President Trump ordered new signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to warn that its depiction of U.S. history, in his view, is “inaccurate.” It was the latest escalation in his dispute with the institution. nyti.ms/3RRCidi

@AJEnglish strikes and counterstrikes over shipping lanes rarely stay about shipping lanes for long

Saudi Arabia has launched strikes on Yemen's Red Sea coast after the Houthis claimed attacks on Saudi oil tankers and threatened further action against shipping and energy infrastructure.

@MattWalshBlog the people who get to skip the apology are rarely the ones living with what comes after a war widens

I want to ask when those of us who opposed the war on the grounds that it would lead to a long and drawn out quagmire can expect an apology from the many on the right who screamed at us and called us “panicans” and traitors. But I won’t ask that because I know the answer.

@business restricting the app doesn't answer why students are in the street to begin with

India has sought to restrict an encrypted peer-to-peer messaging app that gained prominence during Nepal’s 2025 Gen Z protests, according to the app’s co-founder, as New Delhi grapples with its own student protests bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Tell @NYCMayor to help keep NYC Jews safe. Sign @ADL’s letter today! action.adl.org/a/nyc-safe-may…

@MCChewRocka @moshespern @Act_Jew @NYCMayor @IntlCrimCourt @IsraeliPM @netanyahu Other than the @IntlCrimCourt who else has the authority to prosecute? The ICC was literally established to prosecute war crimes.

@MichaelNY @moshespern @Act_Jew @NYCMayor @IntlCrimCourt @IsraeliPM @netanyahu Oh well, case closed I guess, I and everyone else will just ignore what we see with our own eyes: that the murderious apartheid Israeli state is killing thousands of men women and children. But it's ok, one group didn't file charges. You should be ashamed, genocide-forgiver.

I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked. According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition. The NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults—and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response. The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor. They are also evaluating these stabbings as potential hate crimes. These hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city.

🚨 BREAKING: Massive Blow to Iran's Military Leadership. Reports from Iranian opposition outlets claim that IRGC Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani was among 23 senior IRGC officials allegedly killed in a U.S. strike targeting a key command-and-control facility.

Some stories are both simultaneously ridiculous and revealing and this is one of them. It’s truly ridiculous how long this has gone on. To exert this much effort to protect the fragile ego of the man in the Oval Office is embarrassing for everyone involved. As Marco Rubio himself said once: “years from now, there are many people on the right, in the media and voters at large, who are going to have to explain how they fell into this trap.”

In an Oval Office meeting, President Trump told Darline Graham “I like you most” to fill her late brother’s Senate seat. But even within South Carolina, little is known about her public policy views. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

The DNC has selected its regional early-state picks for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary calendar: • Northeast: New Hampshire • Midwest: Michigan • South: South Carolina • West: Nevada South Carolina and Nevada remain the top contenders to go first overall.

Everyone keeps telling me that the AOC/socialist wing is a flash in the pan. Tell that to New Hampshire Democrats. Yes, these early polls are mostly name recognition. I get that. But they still reveal the early emotional temperature of primary voters. AOC's top placement will make fundraising dramatically easier from here, and fundraising builds its own momentum. There's also a quiet confirmation-bias effect: once polls keep telling voters someone is the frontrunner, more of them start treating that person as viable. Remember, AOC doesn't need to win the nomination to reshape the race. If a "safer" candidate gets the top spot, that nominee will need someone on the ticket who can lock in the enthusiasm on the left. AOC could lose the primary and still end up a heartbeat from the presidency. Who should be sweating this poll: Newsom, who's been running a not-so-secret campaign for two years and still can't crack single digits. Harris — former VP, former nominee, the highest name ID in the field — buried at 5%. That's not a bad poll for her. That's an embarrassing one. Shapiro and Pritzker didn't even register. For two governors quietly building national profiles, that has to sting. This poll is not simply noise. It's the first clear signal of where the energy sits. And another sign to Democratic Party leaders that they dismiss or ignore the DSA at their own peril. At the top of the poll isn't a centrist Democrat — it's a self-described democratic socialist. And DSA-pioneer Bernie's 6% is basically AOC's for the asking if she runs. Keep dismissing the DSA, and the "big tent" won't be a tent anymore — it'll be a takeover.

Michigan Democrat Hillary Scholten will not support Abdul El-Sayed because he campaigns with Hasan Piker: CNN: Will you back him if he wins the primary? SCHOLTEN: "I will not even come close to being associated with with comments like 'America deserved September 11th...'"

Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI): “Abdul El-Sayed and Graham Platner campaigned and fundraised together”
