I’m a constituent and of all people, consider you among the bravest to stand strong knowing he is using the federal government to go after you, his perceived political enemy. Thank you for leading by example. You are appreciated in this California household.

Since its founding, the UN’s world hunger monitoring group has confirmed only 4 official famines: Somalia 2011, South Sudan 2017, Sudan 2024, and Gaza City now. Entirely caused by Israel’s use of famine as a weapon of war. As a Jewish survivor of war myself, I’m ashamed of a country I once loved.

Want to see racial bias in news media

On the right is Abrego Garcia who did not break any law and got sent to a concentration camp where he was tortured. @forbes.com

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

A case study in how not to do an interview. He let Johnson filibuster over and over with repeated outrageous lies that went unchallenged. Asked three times about Johnson’s position on deficits and let him bob and weave. Just cringeworthy.

Trump's rage at the media over failures of Iran bombing sends a message: We can't trust anything the admin says on this via official channels. Everything will be tailored to serve the cult of Trump.

On the pod, national security lawyer Brad Moss is brilliant on this:

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

The news tried to convince me Zohran is "controversial" with a nothingburger quote about equality. (Equality is controversial now?! Really?!?)

Meanwhile, the lunatic at the helm spews nonsense daily & there's not a hint about the wannabe emperor's fetid diaper or rotten mind.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.

Trump and Melania Knauss, an immigrant who came to the United States on a work visa. To Trump's right is their anchor baby, Barron.

I don't care if she is a dual citizen of Slovenia and the United States and if Barron was born in the United States, but they should be deported.
