RT @VanJones68: I have spoken out against anti-Muslim hate in the Michigan Senate race. I will speak out just as loudly when the target is Jewish people. Let me state a little-known fact: ISRAEL GETS LESS THAN 0.1 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL BUDGET. That’s less than one tenth of a percent! But there is an ad running that tells voters they can’t afford groceries because the United States gives so much money to Israel. In reality, the United States spends money in and on countries all around the world – but this ad singles out the Jewish state. The ad is as dangerous as it is dishonest. You can disagree with how the United States spends money abroad. But telling hungry families that the Jewish state is the reason they are suffering is wrong and shameful. Blaming Jews for people’s problems is an old story. Anybody who has read the last century of history knows where it leads. It is a dark pathway. This ad is anti-Jewish hate and should come down immediately. Abdul El-Sayed should denounce it today.

Trooper, our rescue, pride of West Virginia, survivor of a bear trap, noble beast. ❤️

RT @TheLeadCNN: DOJ fails to indict former White House aide who testified about Trump and Jan. 6, sources say

RT @TheLeadCNN: 'This is taxpayer money. The people have a right to know.' Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic nominee for Texas governor, joins @jaketapper to discuss her ongoing lawsuit to obtain emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Elon Musk.

RT @SarahAMatthews1: Cassidy Hutchinson showed tremendous courage when she testified about January 6. Trump has spent years trying to punish her for telling the truth. I’m thrilled to see a grand jury refuse to go along with his vindictive revenge campaign.

BREAKING WaPo: A federal grand jury just REJECTED an attempt by the Trump Justice Department to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

RT @TheLeadCNN: The parents of Alex Pretti are demanding justice 9 months after immigration agents killed their son in Minneapolis. They joined @jaketapper for an exclusive interview.

RT @PatrickSvitek: Lisa Murkowski endorses Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, the Democratic candidate for Alaska governor

RT @TheLeadCNN: Trump says he'll respect the midterm results 'if they're honest elections'

RT @TheLeadCNN: 'It's difficult to get up every day. To function, to be a parent knowing that your child's never coming home... No parent should have to live what we're living.' Susan Pretti, mother of Alex Pretti, talks with @jaketapper about her struggles in the nine months since immigration agents killed her son in Minneapolis.

RT @DannyDeraney: 60 years ago today, The Great Pumpkin premiered on CBS. Here is the original trailer that aired in 1966.

RT @davidhudnall: I struggled to find locals willing to put their name behind any kind of statement of support for Marshall. Partially a function of small-town politeness, but there is clearly something else going on too. Much more here (gift link):

RT @KatieBoLillis: Extremely proud of my colleague, work husband and star reporting partner @ZcohenCNN, who has won the investigative reporting award from Military Reporters and Editors for this incredible story:

Yay William Penn! cc @MatthewModine and any fans of Birdy

RT @BarstoolPhilly: On this day in 1682, Philadelphia was founded by William Penn

RT @dariusrucker: Happy Birthday Jack. I am so amazingly proud of the young man you are becoming. I love you

RT @GovernorShapiro: Eight years ago today, we suffered the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history when a killer entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh while people prayed and murdered 11 of our neighbors. It’s been 2,922 days since the attack, but the pain still lingers in our Commonwealth. Today we offer prayers of comfort to those touched by this violence. Let today be a moment for action, remembrance, and resolve to combat antisemitism in all forms. May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger forever be a blessing.

RT @marctshort: GOP candidates are being undercut by stories of grift out of the White House. "Drain the Swamp” falls flat when seemingly every week a new story comes out about the President’s family enriching itself. It’s a huge challenge for GOP as they try to keep the House and Senate

RT @yashar: Still one of the most haunting, depraved stories of organized sexual violence in the last decade. It’s horrible enough for one man to be a serial rapist, but the idea that three brothers, acting in coordination, were engaging in serial rape is horrific to think about. The brave survivors of their predation deserve enormous credit for speaking out, especially given how hostile and threatening the Alexander brothers were and continue to be. So do @kkallergis and @sheridanlwall of @trdny for reporting on and sharing their stories, and @mrkorangy for refusing to submit to threats from the Alexander brothers and pushing forward with publication.

On Alexander brothers, tonight before tomorrow's triple sentencing, US just filed its proposal order of forfeiture including seized from 2135 Lake Ave, Miami Beach, 1 Gold iPhone & One black miniature cellphone seized from Alon and Tal Alexander’s cellblock in MDC

RT @KerryKennedyRFK: “The easiest thing for a political leader to do is to appeal to our bigotry and our hatred and xenophobia and prejudice, and point to people who are unlike us and say they’re the ones who are damaging our country," Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., August 5, 2016 on Larry King Now. There was a time when I completely agreed with my brother. Today, I am deeply ashamed of him. Arab and Muslim people alike have made extraordinary contributions to the world across literature, science, mathematics, medicine and countless other fields. To name a few, Omar M. Yaghi won the Wolf Prize in Chemistry in 2018 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. Ahmed Zewail won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999, and Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988. A person’s race, religion, ethnicity or socioeconomic background does not determine their intellect, creativity or capacity to contribute to humanity. My thoughts are with all those hurt by my brother’s false, cruel and derogatory words.
