The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Tweet from David Miller: "At least his fellow Zionist Sadiq Khan waited to step into office on his first day as Mayor of London before dancing on the graves of Palestinians by having a photoshoot with Britain's 'Chief Rabbi' and the Netanyahu adviser Mark Regev.

Mamdani is showing who he works for even before he gets in the door. An awful Zionist charlatan."

I do not think all anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but anti-Zionists who label Zohran Mamdani a "Zionist" simply because he condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn are in fact antisemites.

The position of the US government is that a subway sandwich is a weapon whose use merits prosecution (and three attempts to obtain a felony indictment) but that the use of tear gas on large crowds of civilians is not serious or dangerous.

No Democrat should vote for any spending bill that does not explicitly prevent Donald Trump from targeting areas that don’t vote for him. The language has to be clear enough that even this Supreme Court can’t ignore it. Until then, no votes

If these elections had gone the other way β€” if the Democratic Party had underperformed or even lost one of these contests β€” then every commentator under the sun would say, rightfully, that Democrats were in disarray; that even the president’s deep unpopularity couldn’t keep them afloat with voters.

But Tuesday was a Democratic victory. And the party didn’t just win β€” it won by commanding majorities on virtually every field of play. In polls, in focus groups and now at the ballot box, the public is telling us something very clearly: Trump is simply too much. If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground β€” and it is β€” then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago.

As a Jew, it’s gross watching Jonathan Greenblatt sit on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social dunk on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to proudly launch a fucking Mamdani Monitor after Greenblatt assertively defended Elon Musk & tells you everything you need to know about Greenblatt & his β€œleadership” of ADL.

Lmao this guy LITERALLY saying we can't win on policy or at the ballot box, we only win on gamesmanship. Unreal statement to make.

CBP Quietly Launches Face Scanning App for Local Cops To Do Immigration Enforcement The app, called Mobile Identify and available on the Google Play Store, is specifically for local and regional law enforcement agencies working with ICE on immigration enforcement.

New from 404 Media: CBP has quietly launched a facial recognition app for local cops to do immigration enforcement. Scans their face, tells cops whether to contact ICE about this person or not. A truly rapid expansion of ICE's facial recognition app to local cops
