Pro-Way group’s ad blitz was funded by AIPAC donors - New Jersey Globe When the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association began spending $1.7 million to boost former Lieutenant Gov. Tahesha Way in a special Democratic

Excellent follow-up from Joey Fox at @newjerseyglobe.bsky.social ‘The donations appear to confirm what had long been suspected: Way was AIPAC’s preferred candidate in the 11th district primary.’

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

We put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the military and he’s confessing to war crimes from the Pentagon podium.

When we restore democracy, we need to put the people who committed crimes in prison.

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.

Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper

No one ever deserves to feel unsafe or threatened in their house of worship. 

Today’s violence against Temple Israel, its congregants, and the West Bloomfield Jewish community is horrifying. 

We must stand in unequivocal defense of the humanity and safety of our Jewish siblings and denounce this heinous act. 

My family and I are praying for safety for communities across our state who are feeling afraid right now, and we are holding our Jewish community members extra close.

Zack Polanski blames both Conservative and Labour governments for regression in trans rights (EXCLUSIVE) Zack Polanski pointed to Conservative and Labour governments, saying there has been an “acceleration of that regression," at Trans Mission.

"It’s particularly horrendous to me when you have someone from within our own community who demonises a minority group. I don’t know what’s going on in Wes Streeting’s head, but what I do know is it’s terrifying for trans people,” he said.

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iran—or anywhere—will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

Estefany Rodríguez, a Reporter Detained by ICE in Nashville, Remains in Limbo Last week, a reporter in Nashville was detained by ICE. Officials claimed to have paperwork for her arrest, but her lawyers say it was warrantless—and retaliation for her reporting.

It has been common practice for DHS to communicate directly with the public online, though the blurring of legal and social media arguments has seemingly distorted the reality of Estefany Rodríguez’s case. Read Carolina Abbott Galvão. www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

All About Timothée Chalamet's Parents, Mom Nicole Flender and Dad Marc Chalamet Timothée Chalamet was raised by his parents, dad Marc Chalamet and mom Nicole Flender. Here’s all about Timothée Chalamet’s parents.

The thing about Timothee Chalamet choosing to shit on ballet and opera is that his mom “majored in dance at LaGuardia High School and attended Yale University on a ballet scholarship. As a child, she danced with the New York City Ballet and later went on to perform in several Broadway musicals.”

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

I care about trans rights because I care about trans people. But, it’s also almost always a good indicator for political courage and willingness to do what’s right even under pressure.

If you’ll cave on trans rights, you’ll almost certainly cave on other issues.

Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank Lawmakers cite ‘consistent pattern’ in which Americans are being killed ‘without justice or accountability’

A good letter from Senate Democrats demanding a federal investigation into the murder of a Philadelphia-born Palestinian American named Nasrallah Abu Siyam.

Interestingly, neither of the two senators from Pennsylvania itself signed on. Nor did either NY senator, one of whom is Minority Leader.
