The Biden administration acquired evidence in the last months of its term that senior officials in the Israeli government were openly discussing the ongoing use of Palestinians as human shields by the IDF in Gaza. They sat on the evidence.

Schumer rightfully getting a lot of flack.
But Durbin should be getting just as much flack. He's the Senate whip. His job is to whip votes to hold the line. Yet he just voted to cave to Trump and allow healthcare premiums to skyrocket.
Both need to step down from leadership.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

this case will get pilloried for its lawlessness, and correctly so, but we also have to see this nonsense (and most of Trump’s bs) as the opportunity it is.
you can go make the law what you want it to be. fake? doesn’t matter, you can make it real.
what we need is a left willing to seize that.

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.
Trump asks Supreme Court to decide whether he can end birthright citizenship www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/p...

Just to be clear, Charlie Kirk was a racist piece of shit, Israel is committing genocide in Occupied Palestine, and trans rights are human rights, and if a million people file ARDC complaints against me or send me death threats I will never recant any of those things.

So some deaths are funny and other are so serious that people should have their entire lives ruined because they didn’t feel sad about them
The vice president apparently finds the extrajudicial and unprovoked air strikes in the Caribbean a joking matter. He mused Wednesday that he “wouldn’t go fishing right now in that part of the world.”

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
