I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Under any other president, this would be treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

A foreign government giving hundreds of millions of dollars directly to the Trumps.

He promised to make your family better off, but instead he’s cashing in for his own.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Warnock: "If you look at the sheer scale of the Trump/Vance regime's operation in Mpls, it's clear they're trying to overwhelm people, weaponize despair, convince citizens you don't have a voice. But the people in Mpls even in this dark moment, are showing that's among the lies they are telling"

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate β€” let alone a Democrat β€” if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third.

This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

I also disagree. And as a donor and longtime supporter of the museum, I’ve privately communicated my thoughts about the utterly baffling condemnation it issued here.

I don’t want to or claim to speak for anyone else, but I am so shocked by this condemnationβ€”which I would be surprised to learn that even a single Jew I know agrees withβ€”that I can’t even fathom how a statement like today’s could have been issued. It is astonishing.

If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it β€œneighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that β€œit is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, β€˜I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

There's been a lot of discussion about the echoes of the civil rights movement in the protests today, with people obviously drawing comparisons between the strategies, tactics and coalitions that were vital then and are still vital now.

But this post has me thinking about a different echo ...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Bari Weiss is so incompetent at leading CBS News that her efforts at fully suppressing the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was foiled because she wasn't aware (or forgot) that the broadcast package including that segment was distributed via a streaming app for broadcast in Canada.

No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.

Opinion | The Epstein Story? Count Me Out.

One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.
