Also, I think Zohran will be good for the brand. Sure, he'll scare away some swing voters, but he will also get a lot of previously apathetic people fired up. The Dems' biggest problem is their voters staying home, not switching teams. Zohran gets people into the booth.

I have a friend outside of NYC who is generally progressive but fears and despises Zohran. She has her reasons, mainly fear that he is going to let crime get out of control. She also thinks that he will be the face of the Democrats in 2026 and 2028 and that will harm us electorally.

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

Opinion | We Need to Rethink How We Think About the Holocaust

The adoption in many universities of the IHRA definition of antisemitism—which assumes that any criticism of Israeli government action is antisemitic—appears designed to bar any discussion of Netanyahu's Gaza actions on university campuses, even though the critical voices are largely Jewish.

The first honest American president Trump's shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.

I’ve a new piece out today.🧵

Some will say this is not the moment to criticize liberals—that when fascism is ascendant, unity against Trump must come before introspection. We are on the edge of the breakdown of democracy, they say. 1/

🇳🇱 In a major upset, Dutch elections saw far-right leader Geert Wilders – famous for his anti-Islam rhetoric and strong support for Israel – lose to the center-left liberal “Democrats 66” party. The D66 are led by Rob Jetten, an openly gay 38-year-old who is a vocal supporter of Palestine. Jetten has called for recognizing a Palestinian state, suspending the EU–Israel trade deal, and boycotting settlement products. In May, he joined a 100,000-person “Red Line” protest in The Hague against what he described as the “genocide in Gaza,” saying the Netherlands “must do everything to stop the starvation and killing of innocent Palestinians.” D66 surged from 7 to 27 seats, effectively tying Wilders’ PVV, which fell from 37 to 26 seats. Coalition talks are underway, and Jetten is expected to become prime minister on October 30.

I have been very impressed by him in this terrible unbelievable situation. Clear-eyed steady unwilling to sugar coat what is happening. A good captain for the beleagured Democrats

Wow👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 he should hold workshops for other democratic representatives.
Maybe they can just memorize his words and trot them out when necessary like the republicans do.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

democrats preserving the fillibuster just for trump to direct republicans to get rid of it was for nothing. democrats should have done this day one in the biden administration but their biggest downfall was assuming that political “norms” were restored after biden won

It bears repeating: the opioid epidemic, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives, was sparked by the activities of U.S.-based pharmaceutical companies and distributors. It was a homegrown, man-made plague.

Kristi Noem has claimed that "no American citizens have been arrested or detained" by immigration agents, despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Immigration policy expert @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social says the Homeland Security chief "is either ignorant of the facts or not telling the truth."

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is 20 was a medical student, his father Jihad, a teacher, started this fundraiser but he’s recently had spinal surgery so Ahmad has taken it over to help his family. His family lost their home and workplaces and need help.

Federal food assistance known as SNAP benefits will run out on Saturday due to the government shutdown. It will impact more than 40 million Americans, many of them working mothers.
Here are some of the stories they are sharing.

"The $8 billion paid in monthly SNAP benefits represents around 10% of retail grocery sales..." - RBC www.rbc.com/en/thought-l...

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)
