Earlier on Monday the BBC said it regretted not cutting the live stream of Bob Vylan’s performance, saying it contained “utterly unacceptable” antisemitic sentiments, while the US announced it was revoking visas for the band. Nothing antisemitic about “Death, death to the IDF” or “fucking Zionist”

From a Georgia perspective, I am already seeing TV ads lying about the BBB, while criticizing John Ossoff's opposition. No ads from Dems defending Ossoff or telling the truth about the bill. Chuck Schumer's donors don't want him spending money or time on US issues.

There's little doubt the BBB GOP bill will be an economic disaster. Only interesting questions left: What PR campaign strategy will GOP use to explain it? Will they villainize trans and immigrants to explain it? Will leading Democrats get richer opposing it and gaining advocacy group money?

Ja'han Jones has fallen into the trap plutocracy set. They'd rather we believe opposition to Mamdani's race is the important fact, not his belief in economic fairness. It's been this way for 45 years of political legerdemain. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Wow, Bondi has no integrity at all. Trump is vindictive, but Bondi is weak, unpatriotic, and above all, foolish.

A President lies to his country to salve his ego. No GOP Representative or Senator should be reelected due to their cowardice. How come the Democratic Party can't find the money to blanket the airwaves with this fact? Because Schumer works for Israel and Pelosi works for health insurance industry.

Democrats still failing in revealing how the BBB hurts the middle and lower middle class. Still failing to convince Evangelicals that Trump doesn't reflect traditional values. Why? Because Dems like Schumer and Pelosi are too fkn rich and beholden to their donors.

I'm still agog at the ugliness of Trump forcing his press secretary to trash a reporter for reporting the news he doesn't like. Do America's rural Evangelicals think it shows good character?

Social Democrats also applaud the Mamdani victory of a Democratic Socialist. Still think our goal are more realistic and have the same goals.

Why is it so difficult to just get the facts from our President rather than all the posturing and sensitive anger? He's treating US citizens as fools who don't deserve the simple truth.
