By the way, even the biggest newspaper in Reno, owned by Gannett, doesn’t think 3 people being slaughtered at a casino is a big deal. 12 hours after it happened, not only is not the lead story of the paper, it’s buried below a dozen other mostly minor stories.

We are truly a sick country.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON SENATOR SANDERS' RESOLUTIONS TO BLOCK WEAPONS TRANSFERS TO THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT "The Israeli government's blockade of food, water, and medicine is a war crime. It is unthinkable that at this moment, when a third of Gaza has not eaten in days, the Senate would greenlight the bombs, guns, and munitions that have already been used to kill 60,000 Palestinians. Today, every Senator has a choice to make: they can uphold U.S. law by preventing the transfer of these weapons, or they can cower to Netanyahu and hand over the arms being used to perpetuate a genocide. "Every day, more of our constituents and allies on the international stage are calling for Congress to end this war and save lives. The Senate must stop this transfer of weapons, and members of Congress in both chambers must increase pressure on Israel to surge aid into Gaza, hold Netanyahu accountable, and stop sending bombs.”

Read my statement urging the Senate to pass @sanders.senate.gov’ resolutions to block weapons transfers to the Israeli government ⬇️

Israeli forces have repelled the dangerous threat posed by baby formula and medicine.

I wonder if there is an IDF special force that is trained specifically in counter diapers, grain and medicine tactics?

Critics of Trump's presidential library fundraising say "there are no rules" CBS News analysis finds that up to $63 million has been raised for Mr. Trump's future presidential library so far from legal settlements alone.

Assuming, as we all hope, the President lives a long and healthy life, he’ll be flying in a gold plated 747 that you bought for him, and operating costs will be covered by people who are donating, right now while he is in office, to his favorite charity.

Transgender servicemembers have served with honor, distinction, and unshakable patriotism.

But the Trump administration is now telling them they can no longer serve because of how they express their gender.

That message is immoral. It is unfair. And it is un-American.

Peaceful protesters were attacked and arrested in Cincinnati for standing up for an asylum seeker who faces death if deported.

Police ignored actual threats and targeted people with signs and cameras. Some of them journalists.

This is what repression looks like.

The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.

102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

MAGA cares more about Jeffrey Epstein than dying without Medicaid, which explains everything MAGA rage over the Trump regime's failure to show an Epstein conspiracy reveals what matters inside a right-wing bubble.

Jeffrey Epstein was never 'just a distraction' - not to MAGA which saw him as the embodiment of immoral liberal hypocrisy, and which is much madder about their bubble bursting than any Medicaid cuts

What Dems must learn from the Epstein meltdown. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

Did anyone tell ICE Puerto Ricans are citizens? Or was that their point?

Sen. Ted Cruz stripped weather forecasting funds from Trump's megabill. Then the floods came. Among other things, he removed $150 million slated to improve modeling, predictions, and public communications.

A secret army beholden to no laws has just been unleashed on the country.

It goes way beyond immigration.
