The Nuclear War Plan for Iran: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-nuclea...

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

If America doesn’t wake up, his fantasy will become our nightmare.

UPDATE: Chief Judge Boasberg schedules a hearing for 4p today on the government’s notice and the plaintiffs’ response, notes that the gov’t “shall be prepared to provide answers to the questions raised by Plaintiffs on page 6 of their Response.” Here are those questions:

Wrote about Trump's claim that Schumer is "Palestinian," and why it's antisemitic as well as anti Palestinian racism. claiming Jews are inauthentic and have no real identity is using tropes around Jewish rootlessness and not belonging. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-schu...

The reporter asking the question here primed Trump by describing the judge as a "Clinton-appointee judge," which elicited this purely political response from Trump.

"I Am a Jewish Student at Columbia. Mahmoud Khalil Is One of the Most Upstanding People I Have Ever Met" @jbenmenachem.com writes that the Donald Trump admin's arrest of Khalil is a fascist attempt to divide communities — and puts Jewish Americans at risk, too. Read here: zeteo.com/p/i-am-jewis...

Will Susan Collins go the “deeply concerning” route or the “I haven’t heard the comments” route?

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

This indicates deliberate intent to disobey court orders. US District Court Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the Trump Administration to halt deportation flights, should charge those who ignored his ruling with criminal contempt of court under Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Schumer postpones book tour over security concerns

"the idea that inflation is only about the money supply is all wrong and completely unhelpful in understanding recent inflation." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/inflation

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

Know the difference.

Trump: "Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!"

One good reason for Democrats to show up for Mahmoud Khalil is you're all fucking next

Jesus fucking Christ. ICE tortured a green card holder just because. Just because that’s who they are. The American Gestapo that has state backing to do this now.

So now that Trump is reinstating the law that allowed the concentration camps we used to shove Japanese Americans into.. Is Cenk going to now eat a big bowl of crow shit on air while begging @franifio.bsky.social for forgiveness?

I for one will never forgive Joe Biden for this. Selfish and insane: thehill.com/homenews/cam...

As always @ddayen.bsky.social explains the spending bill machinations, and as of now it looks like leading Dems want to cave. He recommends they hold the line. I think a shutdown could benefit federal workers as much as it harms them. Work stoppage might help rn. prospect.org/politics/202...

Hey, a soft plug to listen to my podcast @bitchuationroom.bsky.social Comedians, activists and experts, and good levels of shit talking. On YouTube www.youtube.com/franifio and as a podcast wherever you get your podcasts. We post every day. New shows 3x a week.

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

House Democrats stood up for the People. We voted NO. The Senate needs to follow our lead and refuse to pass this partisan spending bill.

No uniforms No badges No names No warrant No charges Just guns and SUVs taking a man away while his pregnant wife says "my love, my love"

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Boycott the Democrats, Not One Dollar More, zero donations. Change your Voter Registration to Independent.

Serial Killer Chuck Schumer aids Fascists in mass social murder.

Democratic 'Leaders' want to give Trump/Musk more rope to hang the rest of us.

Meta rep flagged 'critiques of tech industry figures' as 'sensitive or controversial content' www.usermag.co/p/meta-rep-f... by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social

Defense Secretary Hegseth is replacing the judge advocate generals (JAGs) he fired in February—viewing previous JAGs as being too restrictive, given that soldiers need to identify a target having a weapon before opening fire.

New York State taxpayers have paid $60 million to private defense lawyers for Andrew Cuomo fighting his sexual harassment and abuse of power cases. $60 MILLION!!! How the hell is this being allowed to happen. via @lindseyboylan.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social

Don’t Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor (But fill in all five slots!)

I’ll bet some Democratic strategist told Newsom that Dems need to engage more like this to counter the right wing echo chamber. Nah. You wind up platforming a racist and worse, you’ll wind up saying some shit that make a bunch of white supremacists go, see Newsom likes/agrees with Charlie Kirk!
