The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

It’s pretty crazy that they sell extremely addictive mystery drugs at the gas station and that DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin owns a stake in the company that makes them

It should be a bigger story that Donald Trump inherited a completely recovered economy from the Biden administration and then proceeded to destroy it by inventing a series of financial crises out of thin air as a result of dementia-induced psychosis.

New — The Senate has just voted against advancing an Iran War Powers Resolution for the seventh time, 49-50. This time though, a Democrat was the *deciding vote.* Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski voted to advance it. John Fetterman voted against it.

AOC: What is extremely disturbing about what has happened in Virginia is this court overturned the will of three million Virginians. They can say what they want about the ballot initiative, but they explicitly chose to issue this ruling after the election happened. They had all the time in the world to issue an opinion or an injunction before allowing this election to happen. They did not overturn a map—they overturned an election. It is the power of the American people that should be the ultimate check on all three branches. The court’s ability to overturn an election that was clear in its result should be something that is called into question.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living. I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Four years ago today, Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the Israeli military, and our government did nothing. Since then, over 260 journalists have suffered the same deadly fate. We must uplift the truth in Palestine; they were murdered for reporting.

The New York Times reports that Israeli forces have used dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The New York Times. Do not let the establishment fool you into thinking the problem here is Netanyahu. This violence is a societal problem.

The level of courage it takes for these Palestinian victims of rape to talk openly about what is being done to them while in Israeli custody -- in the face of threats that the assaults will be repeated -- is awe inspiring. Kristof even found three children raped in Israeli custody. Cutting off funds is not enough. Only sanctions and prosecutions can bring some semblance of civility back.
Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…
