5 reasons you should care about Texas' Trump-inspired redistricting scheme Why is the Texas Republicans' redistricting gambit a story with importance far beyond the Lone Star State? There are several reasons.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statement: Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue. I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established. I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.

I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment.

Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does.

My statement on it:

“Israel's forced starvation of Gaza and the weaponization of aid has, after months of warning, reduced Gaza to a state of famine. In addition to the daily stream of war crimes broadcast on social media by IDF soldiers since the war's start...

... the world has become witness to a new gruesome spectacle: hundreds of Palestinians killed in the desperate search for food and aid; children, their faces hollowed out by hunger, waiting amid crushing crowds for bare sustenance.”

If he can't afford to pay his own expenses for a business trip unrelated to his presidential duties, it must mean his current business endeavors are as failing as his past ones. How the hell is he allowed to spend our tax money, and how the hell can he keep running his business? Impeach him!

Why the Epstein Coverup Matters In free societies, government coverups are difficult. In authoritarian ones, they’re routine.

"Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road."

“On July 15, an ABC News journalist asked Trump, … what Bondi told him about the Epstein files: ‘Specifically, did she tell you at all that your name appeared in the files?’

“‘No, no, she’s—she’s given us just a very quick briefing,’ Trump responded.“

Bradley Edwards, attorney for Epstein survivors, says on MSNBC that the executors of Epstein's estate are in possession of the birthday book containing Trump's letter and would be willing to turn it over to authorities

Trump was told his name was in Jeffrey Epstein files before DOJ withheld documents: WSJ President Donald Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein for years before the two men had a falling out.

If the DOJ had evidence linking Donald Trump to Epstein’s illegal network—& withheld it—that would raise serious questions about accountability at the highest levels

And was Bove involved?

DOJ must release the files—or we'll see them in court
