If you truly believed Graham Platner is not antisemitic at all, you would be sending him to synagogues in Maine to speak to Jews and reassure them of that. That is what Mamdani did during the NYC mayoral election. The fact they are not doing that is... telling.

So Florida isn’t already an authoritarian state that has abandoned the rule of law?

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Republicans are pushing DOJ to bring criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson for spilling the beans on Donald Trump's Jan 6 shenanigans.

This is all about creating a chilling effect on anyone in the administration who is *currently* witnessing unethical/illegal behavior.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Trump vowed to turn the economy around, and in a way, he kept his promise.

Unfortunately, as the woeful job numbers prove, that meant turning around a healthy economy and delivering an unhealthy one.

Trump will deem Iran to have surrendered

"This stuff doesn't work anymore. Nobody cares" is explicitly nazi rhetoric, which ought to surprise nobody at all coming from Ryan Grim

Susan Collins has gotten all too comfortable staying silent as the President takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution.

This moment demands someone who will fight back. I've stood up to him before, and I'm not afraid to do it again in the Senate.

Whoa

Start the work to end Citizens United and its disastrous effects on our democracy!

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Paxton offers to drop Senate bid if Republicans pass SAVE America Act The message quickly drew praise from online far-right activists.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would consider dropping his bid for U.S. Senate if Republicans agree to lift the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act.

In his offering, he called the suppressive measure “the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass.”

I’m so sorry that they acted this way, with disregard to you and to the truth.

A DOJ source says FBI agents found the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child to be credible:

"They would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

Opinion | Daryl Hannah: How Can ‘Love Story’ Get Away With This?

"I have never used cocaine in my life... I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial... It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show." Justice for Daryl Hannah!

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 In the April election, Wisconsin liberals are hoping to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential race.

It’s only a just war for Israel insofar as Israel acts justly. The jury is still out on that

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.

Wait, so he’s going to build Trump resorts in Gaza AND Iran after US taxpayers level both places?!

My brow is furrowed as I type and graph this.

This is not good.

Totally sad and yet hopeful!

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

And in the case of kitniyot, davka, it’s such a particularized local practice, based on the flora and fauna of where people live, it makes even less sense to continue that ad infintum and ignore one’s actual place and condition of living. As an example, in Israel, most former Ashkenazim eat kitniyot

Again, no one is forcing you. But time has already done its work and for most US Jews, they are simply neither Ashkenazim or Sefardim. Why would they follow the customs from a country with which they have had zero contact and thereby minimize their actual Jewish lived experience?

Messi Appears With Trump a Year After Turning Down Biden’s Invite Soccer legend Lionel Messi put aside his aversion to politics Thursday and walked alongside Donald Trump at the White House to commemorate his club championship with Inter Miami, handing the US president a rare photo-op.

I’m not in favor of forcing anyone, & keep all of your melodies, though there are good reasons to eliminate the divide once and for all. But I think at this point the majority of US Jews have had no contact with a family member who emigrated from E Europe.
