Honest question for republicans. Chicago is a very Democratic city.
You think of Democrats as hijacked by extremists. But the truth is, progressives were wiped out last night. They lost literally every race.
Could it be that we’re less extreme than your media is telling you?

@JamieMetzl The moral reality is that America and Israel have done more killing than those dictatorships that we condemn.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.
But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

@CoreyWriting I would ask why you seem to be all about denying war crimes, but I understand that grifting for Israel is quite lucrative

How many stories about Palestinians is New York Magazine going to write? Another example of how our media institutions are captured by millennial leftists radicalized on campus.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Palestinians in the West Bank face a double bind: Relinquish their homes to Israeli settlers, becoming either displaced within Palestine or international refugees; or remain on their land, perpetually vulnerable to surveillance, attack, and intimidation. Disruption of the olive harvest is both a means of land dispossession and a form of regimented impoverishment. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians rely on income from olive farming, and an estimated 70 percent of their harvest was threatened in 2025. At the end of the season, the U.N. reported 178 settler attacks. Farmers and their families, including children, were killed by gunfire and tear gas. Centuries-old olive trees were razed. Thousands of acres were burned, bulldozed, or blocked off for Israeli “military use.” Since then, the violence hasn’t died down: In February, settlers reportedly destroyed seven Palestinian villages in a single week. At the same time, Israel continues to exert ever tighter control over the West Bank, making it more difficult for Palestinians to retain their land. The writer Jasmine Sanders traveled to the West Bank to volunteer during the 2025 olive-harvest campaign. “My experience of the olive harvest was one of queasy liminality,” she writes. “Not war, and yet not peace: the bracingly quotidian terror of life under threat from settlers and amid Israeli military occupation, which is now the longest such occupation in history.” Read more about her experience: nymag.visitlink.me/e43Mea

@Jay_McGill94 Whenever I see someone say they now despise the left, I know what they really mean is 'I support genocide'.

@SenFettermanPA Every word out of your mouth is a lie. We had a treaty with Iran which prevented its nuke program and you supported it until Trump tore it up.
English
Every member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that.
Empty sloganeering vs. commitment to global security — which is it?

Mikie Sherrill's record voters do not show up at Devil's games, small businesses in Deptford or on any of her social media posts. Her rallies were sparsely attended. Low enthusiasm.
But she received overwhelming support in NJ as per the vote tallies.
Where are her voters?

@bariweiss @camiloreports @TheFP You know ICE is unpopular when Larry Ellison and Tony Two Cuts turn against you
English
Is Trump really deporting the worst of the worst?
Scoop here from @camiloreports in @TheFP who got DHS internal docs . . .
Camilo Montoya-Galvez@camiloreports
CBS News Exclusive: An internal DHS document shows that less than 14% of nearly 400,000 individuals arrested by ICE in President Trump's first year back in power had violent criminal records. It's the most detailed look yet at who ICE has arrested. cbsnews.com/news/ice-arres…

@MattRooneyNJ Worth repeating: checking provisional ballots and just in time mail in ballots are exactly what happens in close elections
English
Worth repeating:
It's a stupid, flawed, suspect system where it takes over a week to figure out a House primary result.
Shlomo Schorr@OneJerseySchorr
As of Monday afternoon, @Analilia_Mejia now leads former Rep. Tom @Malinowski 18,584 to 17,695, or 29.1% to 27.7%, in the Democratic primary race to replace Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District. Several thousand mail and provisional ballots still remain to be counted.

Harvard is woke; The War Department is not.

No, actually I think Rubio would be a good president because he would be conditioned from birth to want to destroy communists

@Congressman_JVD Pretending immigrants are voting illegally to try to steal your upcoming re-election attempt is why you are one of New Jersey's biggest shit stains

Every illegal vote cancels out a legal one.

Mehdi Hasan publicly and proudly called non-muslims “cattle” — while leading fellow muslims in prayer at a mosque.
These are the mainstream muslim invaders who now think they can tell us what “American values” are.
DEPORT.

@BriannaWu If you think what's important about a Nazi literally in charge of putting people in concentration camps is the civility with which you treat them, that actually makes you a dumb cunt

@IyerDharmapuri @ryanodonnellpa Well, now that you mention it....

nyc isn’t an outlier. nationally, democrats say israel is committing genocide 66-15. primary voters believe this by an even larger margin because they’re more engaged
Raul@icy464
NYC Dem voters are absolutely not representative of all Dem voters, let’s be serious for a minute.

@Oldglorycries Perhaps you missed the civics class in 3rd grade where they talked about stuff like provisional ballots

@RobSchneider I'm convinced that all this MAGA hatred of America's Olympic athletes has to be a progressive psyop

Then TAKE OFF the FLAG….
And GIVE UP YOUR CITIZENSHIP as well!
Actual American Heroes DIED for YOUR FREEDOMS, you MORON👇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Byron Donalds@ByronDonalds
YOU chose to wear our flag. YOU chose to represent our country. YOU chose to compete at the @Olympics. If that’s too hard for you, then GO HOME. Some things are bigger than politics. You just don’t get it.

@BasedMikeLee The latest genius MAGA move to boost their popularity is the 'trash America's Olympians' plan. Keep digging

If you can’t stand up for your country while abroad—at the Olympics or otherwise
Stay home

Why are our athletes the only ones that trash their country?

@Oldglorycries You're apparently ignorant of how elections are actually conducted

New Jersey can't count 60,000 votes and declare a winner on election night for CD 11?
This is more appalling than finding out that Vanilla Harris was embroiled in a cheating scandal at the Naval Academy and was barred from walking at graduation.

@CynicalPublius If you kick off everyone who doesn't like things happening in the US right now there will be hardly anyone left on the team
English
NEW RULE:
If you are a member of the US Olympic Team and you publicly criticize the USA while on foreign soil, you are off the team.
You have 15 minutes to gather your things in the Olympic Village. Someone will drive you to the airport and push you out on the curb. Figure out your own way to fly home.
Being a USA Olympian is a privilege, not a right. Too bad you couldn't figure that out.
