🗞️ The single deadliest attack on journalists IN WORLD HISTORY happened on Wednesday. Isn't it weird that you never heard about it? I dare you to guess how many journalists were killed in this attack? I'm sure you can guess who did it pretty easily.

Take Action Today! Democrats CAN do something about the budget. The UN CAN do something about genocide in Gaza.

A heartfelt thank-you to my Senator Chris Van Hollen who continues to speak the truth about the Israeli government's crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli government wants to push all Palestinians off their land and take everything.

Israeli strike in Qatar. It shows they care nothing about the hostages and bringing peace. United Nations must bring "United for Peace" resolution to override U.S. Security Council veto. Nations should bring strong economic sanctions vis a vis Israel.

How can this be enforced in the era of "independent spending" by corporations and SuperPACs? Sarah Elfreth claims she new nothing about AIPAC spending more than $3,000,000 on her primary race until she read it in the paper.

With Trump destroying public health and education as fast as he can, it's time for you to take action this week.

Our military budget is almost $3,000 per person. Our National Weather Service was budgeted to cost less than $5 per person, but Trump's DOGE cut 30% of the budget and 17% of the staff. Now we're not prepared to warn people of looming disasters.

Musk's chatbot repeatedly praises Hitler Grok, the "artificial intelligence" chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI company, praised Adolf Hitler in a series of recent posts on X.

Musk's revised chat-bot loves Hitler, but at least it's not "woke."

AngelaAlsobrooks_GENIUS_letter_070925 July 9, 2025 Dear Mr. Cooper, Thank you for contacting me about the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025 (GENIUS) Act (S. 1582). Your concerns are important to b...

I received a thoughtful reply to my concerns about the GENIUS Act from Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks. She helped to insert some pretty good regulatory language in the bill, but without a strong enforcement agency, stablecoins are still dangerous in my opinion.

Trump's evil bill is enacted. What now for the resistance to fascism?

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members: 1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual. 1 Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160 Filed 07/07/25 Page 2 of 4 The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned. Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month The U.S.-backed system for food aid in Gaza is a “tactical intervention in humanitarian wrapping,” per an Israeli professor.

From Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "Israeli officers and soldiers said that they were ordered to deliberately fire at unarmed civilians waiting for humanitarian aid."

Tell your Congress critters to stop military aid to Israel until the siege is lifted.

At the Supreme Court, about 1,000 people gathered under the leadership of Rev. William Barber of Repairers of the Breach. People graphically explained why they rely on Medicaid and food stamps. Coffins represented the people who will die because of the cuts.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Only Congress has the power to declare war. That’s why I voted yes on tonight’s War Powers Resolution.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a devastating blow to access to justice in our judicial system.

Regardless of the ruling, the Constitution is clear. If you were born in the United States you are an American citizen.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

Kind of framing I’ve been begging democrats to use on taxes for decades. Name the people who stand to benefit not just faceless billionaires
