The reason many in the US / EU look down on Palestinians or try excuse Israeli crimes by blaming Hamas is not because they oppose terrorism but because they want to erase their own complicity in the genocide. If the victims are “responsible for empowering Hamas” then what are you responsible for?

Chris Murphy: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of the country ... these guys are running the economy recklessly because all they care about is the health of the Mar-a-Lago billionaire class."

The guy who has been convicted of 34 felonies wants criminals out of the United States.

We cannot force a corpse to donate organs, but we can force a dead woman to be an incubator against her family’s wishes. The precedent this is setting is terrifying.

Despite Eurovision's denials, an analysis reveals that the broadcast silenced crowd discontent during Israeli singer Eden Golan’s performance.

Bessent: "I was on the phone with Doug McMillon, the CEO of Walmart, yesterday, and Walmart is in fact going to eat some of the tariffs."

Trump plans to move Palestinians to Libya. This is not only ethnic cleansing, but it acts as a way to free up land for Israeli real estate developers and by choosing Libya he’s openly attacking Europe with the goal of creating a mass migration wave of refugees that will flee.

Your School House Rock moment........

A pro-genocide Zionist tried tried to humiliate an anti-genocide Jewish Israeli protestor who turned out to be a well articulated university professor. “God has put us through a test and we failed.” “We’ve already killed 15 to 18 thousand children. Children!” #3E #EndImpunity #FreePalestine

#USDemocracy When Bush 2 left office, lenders weren’t lending, houses weren’t selling, unemployment was ridiculously high. The American Auto Industry was crashing, threatening well over a million jobs. President Obama turned it around. More businesses opened up because insurance was available.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Spoke with Walmart CEO, Walmart, $WMT, will absorb tariffs as they did in 2018.

This seems bad

Blackwell to DHS official Tricia McLaughlin: "You suggest I am the one here who is focused on skin color, when the president has let in Afrikaners specifically, and I'm asking, how many of those who are actually facing genocide from Sudan and the Congo are being let in under some expedited path?"

We are living in a world where some USians and Europeans are still defending Israeli war crimes while actual Israelis are protesting them.

Feeling great yet?

Mike Pence: "The initial reciprocal tariffs that he unveiled would be the largest peacetime tax hike on the American people in the history of this country ... there's no question in this administration that he is surrounded with people that appear to nurture his more protectionist instincts."

The government tried to use law enforcement privilege—typically used to shield info that could cause harm to people or investigations if released—to withhold the fact that it is violating confidentiality promises by sharing addresses with law enforcement. americanoversight.org/heres-what-t...

At least Walmart executives are having a good laugh. If you think Walmart is going to eat the costs of tariffs, then you don’t understand Walmart’s greed and how it exploits its customers and workers to make its billions.

BREAKING WAPO: The Trump DOJ is considering removing a key check on lawmaker prosecutions. Federal prosecutors across the country may soon be able to indict members of Congress *without* approval from lawyers in the Department's Public Integrity Section. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"The Constitution prohibits public officials from accepting a present from a foreign state" -- Mike Pence has discovered the Emoluments Clause!

WELKER: Tariffs from the first term added $80 billion in higher prices for Americans. Why didn't you say they are a tax then? PENCE: Well, I probably did in the hallways, but the president gets to make the decision W: You told Trump that directly? P: Well sure

It's worrying that some of Biden’s aides questioned his competency, but it’s terrifying that none of Trump’s ever have.

Good morning 🌞

When he typed this, S&P had just downgraded the US bc of GOP govt shutdowns. Yesterday, Moody’s downgraded the US bc of GOP govt policies.

Donald Trump forced the military to spend at least $21 million on migrant deportation flights. It’s another wasteful political stunt.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

Anti-genocide protestors in Tel Aviv, Israel marched and held up signs that said Palestinians Lives Matter and called for an end to the killings in Gaza. (📸 BtsIsrael) #3E #EndImpunity #FreePalestine

This tweet acknowledges that China is not paying the tariffs

SCOTUS, 7-2, tells the administration due process isn’t optional. I read the opinion so I could share it with you. joycevance.substack.com/p/scotus-to-...

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

YouGov policy polling During Donald Trump's second term, YouGov has polled Americans about 250 policies proposed, endorsed, or implemented by Trump and his administration. Average net support: -17

This article ends with ADL regional director Scott Richman praising NYU for withholding the degree of student Logan Rozos. It's both a crackdown on Rozos' speech and a way to further escalate the situation, to move the decision about how to punish this student up from administrators to trustees.

Pence: "They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across the US. So the very idea we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, intelligence needs, & my hope is the president reconsiders."

WSJ says Russ Vought takes over "DOGE". No, this reveals "DOGE" was not Musk's invention. It was Project 2025 all along. Elon was another puppet-clown--like Trump--successfully distracting journalists. Trump’s Budget Hawk Takes Over the DOGE Agenda. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Clyburn: "There's nothing wrong with bringing the govt in balance, but there's a problem when that balance comes on the back of working men and women ... when Trump indicated that he ought to be raising taxes on the wealthy, he got our attention. But then he retreated from that almost immediately."
