"Even as Foxman took subtle digs at his ADL successor, Jonathan Greenblatt, for slow-walking criticisms of Trump and Elon Musk, his issue was never with the current CEO’s steadfast alignment of the ADL with Israel’s interests." jewishcurrents.org/abe-foxman-mad…

Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”

No applause for Mayor Mamdani? This compromise wouldn’t have happened without the Mayor’s leadership. He led the push for taxing the wealthy, with no help from you.
Rep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman

I applaud @GovKathyHochul for this smart way to generate revenue from those who can and should pay their fair share. We need to unrig the system and tackle wealth inequality urgently. This is an important step.

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
