@karen_eggleson @matthewstoller Is your argument that she was in powerful rooms and had no influence or that she was supremely influential and her ideas were extremely bad

@matthewstoller You know, Neera Tanden has been in rooms you could only dream about being in. Who do you think you are to insult her like this? If you disagree with her, fine. But really, learn some damn manners.

It's amusing people have memory-holed that @neeratanden was the head of Biden's Domestic Policy Council that ran the single most unpopular domestic policy we've ever seen from a Democrat. I don't know why anyone cares what this clown says. She doesn't know anything.

@mattduss A question I find myself asking a lot: is this person (Sullivan) stupid, or does he think we are stupid?

It’s beyond serious dispute that civilian harm was not just an unfortunate consequence of Israel’s strategy in Gaza, it is part of that strategy. Alarms were sounded both internally and externally. Jake muted them. This performative handwringing is disingenuous and offensive.

@DWood371 @ChrisSosa You: Complains about divisive posts and accuses mayor of retribution (against who?) Also you: top of profile is reposting BILL ACKMAN

@ChrisSosa My views have changed: he’s MORE dangerous than I even imagined. A great deal of his posts, and none posts on topics, show a tendency to divide and incite. I finally figured out why he ran for Mayor—retribution. You Mamdani sycophants need to get your heads out of the sand.

Mamdani is winning the public perception game as mayor in a way I didn't expect as a supporter. "Hard worker who really cares" is how a Cuomo voter described her view to me this week. Talked to a nonvoter who "didn't like my choices" yesterday. His view now? "I like Mamdani."

@SpearTyson59951 @revelation_six @martinez_j7902 @hasanthehun lol the old lie and run

@revelation_six @martinez_j7902 @hasanthehun So, what WAS said?

israel had a pro rape january 6 style riot to break out the rapist concentration camp guards from prison, it succeeded! they made one of the top rapists into a tv star, and then the prosecution dropped all charges & satanyahu personally apologized. so no i’m not shocked abt kristoffs reporting. it’s sad that they wouldn’t post it outside of editorial.

@notoserfdom @IsraelMFA Maybe you could bulldoze their homes

@IsraelMFA Good luck with this, but it would be more effective to instruct the Mossad to hack into their IT systems, subscription platform, etc. Knocking these scum offline for a day or two would send a strong message.

Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

in her "mass rape" hoax documentary Sherlyn Sandberg has a dramatic scene where she asks two proven Zaka hoaxers to show her photos of sexual violence and mutilation. Sandberg withdraws in horror, "oh my god!" But she never actually shows the photos. Why? Because they're fake:

@DennisPCrawford @ryangrim @janekleeb Of course it’s an option, many people would prefer losing to losing control

@ryangrim @janekleeb We don't have the luxury of demanding perfection. Chris is a great candidate and a great guy. 2026 may be our last chance to defeat fascism. Our principles won't mean much if we lose. Defeat is not an option.

The well-respected Nebraska Dem Party Chair @janekleeb does not seem persuaded. She tells me: “Chris Backemeyer is the clear choice for Nebraska’s First District. He brings real federal experience from the State Department and is laser-focused on what Nebraskans actually care about — lowering costs and expanding access to affordable healthcare. Mike Flood has failed this district, and a fringe independent won’t fix that. Nebraska doesn’t need noise from either extreme — we need a steady, experienced leader who will fight for fairness and protect our democracy. That’s Chris Backemeyer.”

@EliLake Good one Goebbels

There was no genocide. There was no famine. And there are no rape dogs. But on October 7, 2023 Hamas and other Palestinian raiders launched a war with mass rape and murder. Many filmed their atrocities. Here is a conclusive report documenting that horror. …1-400e-ae14-65ae0400675b.filesusr.com/ugd/aab121_882…

@MonaColwell @WTNH Maybe they’re saving it til after the conventions

@WTNH “The state of Connecticut is in an uproar after learning that Governor Lamont gave his wife, Annie, no-bid government contracts” could have been a headline

The New Britain community is in an uproar after learning that former Mayor Erin Stewart suspended her gubernatorial campaign after allegations of using the city-issued credit card for personal spending. wtnh.com/news/connectic…

@jonathanchait Charter schools in your specific case

He also claims my job is "tell us the best use of our money is to subsidize big corporations or a foreign government." I have no idea what corporations he thinks I want to subsidize, and I suspect he's just making stuff up.

I want to flag a couple false claims made about me and the Atlantic by @AbdulElSayed in his exchange with @NathanJRobinson: currentaffairs.org/news/abdul-el-…

@NelsonGotay835 @CassieJHill @umichvoter This is just thinly disguised racism

@CassieJHill @umichvoter I didn't know a small city have so much power and influence

MICHIGAN Mitchell polls Dem Primary (published Tuesday): El-Sayed 28%, Stevens 18%, McMorrow 17% GE polls posted overnight: 🔴 Mike Rogers 42% 🔵 Abdul El Sayed 41% 🔴 Mike Rogers 43% 🔵 Mallory McMorrow 41% 🔴 Mike Rogers 42% 🔵 Haley Stevens 39%

@kaliphear @Rob_Flaherty There’s a section on Gaza in there

@Rob_Flaherty A whole lot of words and not a single mention of Gaza, and Kamala's almost dedicated hostility to people raising it as a specter. I appreciate that this article is complete from your perspective, but I think it sadly reveals only that your perspective is incomplete.

So, I actually talked to the DNC autopsy. Here’s everything I told ‘em, and more: open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@WhiteHartOmaha @prem_thakker @ahlmanforne Apparently

@prem_thakker @ahlmanforne It was an incredibly biased poll. Even calling him “a Biden state department official” when he worked under 4 presidencies isn’t fair. He was the lead negotiator for the removal of sanctions in the iran nuclear deal! You think Israel liked that???

Oh boy. In Nebraska, the Democrat (a Biden State Department official who coordinated aid to Israel) *loses support* after folks learn more about him. But populist @ahlmanforne (who just launched an independent campaign) not only gains support, he *leads the Republican incumbent.*

@AssalRad @netanyahu They are 100% on it

@netanyahu Don’t forget to sue the UN too.

Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

@MissLauraMarcus @netanyahu @AmirOhana You gonna kill us too?

@netanyahu @AmirOhana Those who perpetuate the blood libels against Jews must be made to pay. This isn’t late 19th century Russia, 12th century England, 15th century Spain or 1930s Germany. This time we’ve got Israel. Come for us and this time we fight back!

@netanyahu The symmetry is between your government and Nazi Germany. You have passed a law to execute the victims of the barbarity your soldiers have perpetrated. Hamas is akin to the ZOB and ZZW, struggling against their erasure by a state power who has trapped them in concentration camps

@zei_squirrel (Statistics of just how many women are raped make me think it’d be very implausible for there to have been zero. But it seems clear that claims of it being systematic are totally bullshit.)

@zei_squirrel Even the top quotes in it are like “a prisoner was made to remove their clothes.” I’m open to believing that in the middle of this mass kidnapping plot that Hamas people did commit rape so I don’t want to say “that never happened” but the best evidence seems to say it didn’t

what happened over the past few days is pretty amazing. The Israeli regime knew Nick Kristof was going to publish his NYT piece on their actual systematic rape of Palestinians including children and the use of dogs to rape, so they fabricated a new "report", the most insane one yet copy-pasted together by a proven fraud that repeats all the already debunked falsehoods and relies entirely on known proven hoaxers, and they actually got the NYT, BBC, CNN, AP, Reuters to launder it for them a day after the Kristof piece came out to bury it. They own the entire media class completely.

@Sheldone @be_canoe @themaxburns I mean they were less grotesquely abusive but it has been a pretty bad organization since its inception (post 9/11)

@be_canoe @themaxburns Fair enough, but DHS was an okay organisation under Biden and Obama. But those current agents that have broken the law will have a quick learning curve with they all get arrested, charged and jailed, and Trump isn’t there to save them anymore.

Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

@myopia_dystopia @andrewperezdc You seem weirdly obsessed with this guy

@andrewperezdc Possibly! But this is the best case for Dems overall imo. He needs to win the primary and lose the general to show that leftists are unelectable outside of deeply blue areas.

Increasingly strong odds that the McMorrow campaign manages to Streisand Effect Abdul El-Sayed into Michigan's Democratic Senate nomination.
