Thinking about Trump’s executive order regarding the Department of Education and a line from the book I am writing comes to mind. “Not everything in the US is about race; yet, so much, if not everything, is.”

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

And the guy who sponsored the bill was arrested this week for soliciting a 16 year old girl for sex. Except when he went to meet her it was a cop. No biggie though, Musk amplifies even worse people on a regular basis.

If Trump’s executive branch were to defy a court order, it would not only be unprecedented, but unconstitutional. It would be a proclamation that no one can check or review the president’s power. @tribelaw.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET on #Velshi

Rep. Meng and I visited Queens Hospital Center to highlight how the Republican scam to cut Medicaid will affect everyday Americans who rely on its coverage to survive. After the hospital tour, it's clear that a cut to Medicaid would have a devastating impact on our Queens community.

So Meghan McCain had the audacity to say that @repjasmine.bsky.social is “ostensibly a social media star, nothing more.” Folks, if her last name wasn’t McCain, NO ONE would hire her in media. Meghan McCain is a joke. Rep. Crockett can run rings around this child. Meghan is nothing but a hater.
