Congress is not serious. We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress… BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation. Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID, but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

@WalshFreedom @WajahatAli Numerous human rights organisations - including some Jewish organisations - have concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide. You don’t have to agree with that conclusion, but pretending it’s not a position held by credible organisations is simply false.

.@WajahatAli, I do not believe Israel has committed/is committing genocide. I do not believe Israel has an “occupation” of Palestinians. Simple question for you my friend: Is it possible to hold those beliefs of mine and NOT be a “genocide-loving piece of shit” as you’ve said before? Or, in your eyes, is anyone who holds those same beliefs of mine a genocide-loving piece of shit? In other words Waj, is it possible for two decent people to simply disagree on that issue?
Wajahat Ali@WajahatAli

Fred, do you oppose Israel's genocide and occupation of Palestinians? Simple question.

There is or was no genocide in Gaza. The only genocide which occurred in this present conflict was committed by Gazan’s on 10/7 against Israelis and foreign guests when they raped, brutalized, and murdered thousands of them. The dark irony being that the first people murdered by Gazans were those who would help them get food and medical care in Israel - left wing kibbutzniks - who are diametrically opposed to Bibi and Likud. I stand against all violence against innocent people, Palestinian, Israeli, or any race, ethnicity, religion of your choice. I fight for people who contend with such depravity everyday. Do Israeli lives count? Do Jews? It doesn’t seem so lately.
Wajahat Ali@WajahatAli

Many, many times. See, Muslims and people of color in general have to apologize endlessly for violence done by terrorists and organizations and people we've never met or supported. However, you, as a Civil Rights Attorney, defend and support Israel's genocide and occupation of Palestinians. Why is that, Andrew?

@Nano_social @lauferlaw Jewish/Israeli organisations that have described Gaza as a genocide include: • B’Tselem (Israel’s leading human rights organisation) • Physicians for Human Rights–Israel (PHRI) • Jewish Voice for Peace (US)

I did say these things about Ukraine and Zelensky and I am not deleting my posts because I’ve realized, I was wrong. I was living in a media echo chamber and I was propagandized by Russian media on social media to believe those things. So I came to Ukraine to see the country for myself. I am going to try to find evidence for the propaganda I’ve been fed, and if I don’t find it, I will let everyone know so they too can come to see the light. On day one, I’ve already seen photos of dead priests in Bucha murdered by Russia and I saw the mass grave where the bodies of murdered Christians were placed after Russia sent forces from Chechnya to massacre innocent people. I spoke with officials who rescue POWs and they showed me photos of Ukrainian POWs who had swastikas engraved into their forehead by Russians. Who are the Nazis? 🤔 I was lied to for years. I realized Ukraine and @ZelenskyyUa aren’t the jihadi apologists… but Russia and Putin are! I was wrong! I have a responsibility to correct the record. Russia is very good at information warfare.

'I'm NOT in Russia because I'm NOT A PROPAGANDIST' — says Loomer as she visits Ukraine for PR TRIP... FORGETS to scrub TIMELINE calling Ukraine 'FULL OF NAZI APOLOGISTS' & Zelensky a 'JIHADI APOLOGIST' We advise Ms Loomer to CLEAN HER TIMELINE before the TRANSITION

@SlavaMalamud 100% But we also shouldn’t keep giving offensive weapons to Israel, given what they have been doing. Hell, ICC has called Netanyahu a war criminal, and multiple organisations, including Jewish ones, have called their actions genocide. That’s not anti-Jew. That’s anti-government.

I'll tell you what kind of Democratic Party I don't want. I don't want a Democratic Party that denies Israel's right to exist, supports Hamas and Hezbollah, questions Western values and engages in Kremlin apologia. If my party starts hugging tankies and anti-Zionists, I am out.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes

What kind of Democratic Party do you want? One in which AIPAC / dark money floods primaries at the last minute to swing an election? Or one in which people fund campaigns in which the candidate regularly faces voters and not just friendly interviewers?

@MeidasTouch They blocked Spirit and JetBlue and ended up bankrupting Spirit. Blocking this merger would NOT end in bankruptcy of either company and cause less competition. How could they NOT block this??

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, granting a request from a coalition of 12 states led by California. The court will consider a longer injunction on Aug. 3 as states argue the merger would reduce competition, raise prices, and cost jobs.

@nedned @AvivaKlompas “All” is doing a lot of work there. Hamas has diverted aid, yes. That doesn’t mean all humanitarian assistance was diverted, nor does it make food and medicine equivalent to offensive weapons.

@mriksman @AvivaKlompas A ridiculous point. UNIFIL aided Hezbollah, turned a blind eye while they were arming in violation of a ceasefire. Hamas diverted all international aid from all of the nations and used it to buy weapons and murder civilians. You complain that the US lets Israel buy US weapons.

Last summer, a wave of Western countries recognized a Palestinian state. They insisted this wasn't a blank check. Recognition, they told us, came with expectations: ➡️ Reform Palestinian governance ➡️ Hold democratic elections ➡️ Exclude Hamas from power ➡️ Demilitarize ➡️ End incitement ➡️ Build the institutions of a future state A year later, how many of those conditions have been met? NONE Yet nobody talks about the absolute failures of Palestinian leadership: corruption, the refusal to hold elections or pursue meaningful political reform, funding education that incites violence, or preparing Palestinian society for peaceful coexistence. Here's the pattern: Israel is treated as an accountable political actor, expected to meet conditions and answer for its decisions. Palestinians are treated as people to whom history simply happens. The result is a conflict prolonged not only by Palestinian leaders, but by an international community unwilling to hold them to account.

Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain blasts Bruce Springsteen as an “annoying, bitter old man” who should "shut up" when it comes to politics. “I’m a diehard conservative… And guys like Bruce Springsteen should shut up. You know, really, honestly, shut up, Bruce, you know? Him and… who’s the other one? Robert DeNiro. I mean, who cares, guys? Do your art. I try to keep politics out of my music... Now, people say, ‘Well, you’re a Christian and you’re conservative,’ and I’m like, ‘So what?’ I don’t preach it on stage. I don’t spend 10 minutes talking about it… And Bruce, I mean, what the heck? I used to like him, and now he’s just annoying. He’s an annoying, bitter old man. I mean, stop it. Really. You were born in the USA, weren’t you, dude? So act like it. But even that song, if you look at the lyrics, I mean, it’s a kind of a diss toward our country.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

@WalshFreedom Most Dems support Israel. They DON’T support Israel’s government - specifically Netanyahu. Most people support America. They DON’T support America’s government - specifically Trump. Would you abandon those people? Would you call them anti-American?

The intolerant left is becoming a twin of the intolerant MAGA right. Does the left want the Dem Party to win, or does the left want to control the party? Is there room in the Dem Party for someone like me who’s a very, very strong supporter of Israel? Monday thoughts.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialcont…

“DEATH DEATH TO THE IDF” Teenage girls in Frankfurt, Germany 🇩🇪 blow bubbles as chants for Jewish death reverberate on the same streets that Nazi slogans did just 8 decades prior. For them, hating Jews is a hobby.

@Abrashke @AvivaKlompas Are you saying humanitarian aid should be withheld because it gives Hamas political legitimacy? Or are you saying aid should continue but through a different mechanism? I’m genuinely not clear what your proposed alternative is.

@Abrashke @AvivaKlompas Wait. So your response is to withhold humanitarian aid to civilians, because some of it may be pilfered by terrorists? Let women and children starve and die? That’s not hyperbole. That’s fact. Thanks for reminding me, Mr Psychopath Person.

@mriksman @AvivaKlompas Ah, I forgot, famously Palestinian leadership is fastidious in its fiduciary responsibilities and has NEVER profited from intl humanitarian aid. And that we're only allowed to have standards for countries when we pay them. Thanks for reminding me, Mr. Serious Person.
