You know nothing about the region.

You are nothing. A random account.

You just stop. Don’t you dare tell me what Jews are. Or Zionists. You do not speak for anyone besides yourself.

You’re going to tell me Trump did not win in 2024. I’d be shocked! That Harris got 0 votes in New York State. Totally normal..

Also, the National Weather Service surveillance and the public broadcasting stations that would warn them. Well done @lisamurkowski

No, they can rule out the filibuster for whatever they want. Stop acting dense. It’s been done for judges, for budgets, for appointees. The GOP’s in charge. They make the rules.

Thanks to Mike Johnson, in the past 100 days, the House of Representatives has only been in session 20 days. And now, 13 days into the Republican Shutdown, they show no interest in negotiating a deal and are ending their vacation.

It’s time for the GOP to come back to work.

No, they are entitled to Israel because it is their ancestral home. I’m not going to debate the history, the British partition, etc. That’s exactly how it works.

No, Jews are not colonists. They are entitled to the land as much as the Palestinians. Netanyahu overplayed his hand, but this does not represent ordinary Jews.

Please share this as widely as possible. ICE kidnapped a 7th grader in Everett, Massachusetts and sent him to Virginia. Help bring him home now!

Not exactly. Those students were calling American Jews who supported Israel colonialists.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.
