So is Trump’s plan to put troops in our streets to gun down American citizens for protesting. While at the same time promoting the right to protest in Iran? Huh?

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

How long will we continue to murder brown skinned people in little boats because they are in the wrong place in an ocean 1,000 miles from the U.S.?

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Vaccine-preventable diseases are unimpressed with your consumption of beef tallow and peptides and supplements in lieu of vaccines.

You’re the antelope and the lion is going to track you down.

Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force has been the go to resource for evidence based recommendations on screening and interventions to prevent disease and prolong life. RFK shredding it will make all of us less healthy.

Seems to me that if they gave a shit about Epstein's victims, they'd be talking to them. Not waving immunity options in front of his convicted grooming partner.

“Fraud, waste and abuse.”

“Crap.”

“Things that don’t matter.”

This is what the Trump administration calls the life-saving aid the Republican Congress just cut.

But let’s call it what it is: cruelty.

If you're cheering on the idea of impoverished migrants being attacked by alligators, you might be the bad guy.

Exactly. And for fuck sake, stop calling it Alligator Alcatraz. The inhabitants of Alcatraz were all afforded due process in a court of law. Call it what it is, a concentration camp, more like Alligator Auschwitz.

The Senate's “Big, Beautiful Bill” will create a disaster for rural moms and babies Medicaid cuts could endanger maternity services at more than 140 rural hospitals.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill" is generally terrible for families.

But women and babies who live in areas that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump are likely to suffer some of its most sweeping and damaging effects.

nyt op-ed: we cannot normalize the left’s brazen attempt to win voters by talking to them

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.
