The reason Maine voters don’t seem to care about Platner’s tattoo is probably in large part because Zionists have spent the past several years calling anyone who criticizes Israel an antisemite. The label was abused and has now lost all meaning.

OK but why did the widely mocked video of the McDonald’s CEO tentatively nibbling on the Big Arch burger make me want to try it?

Trump has now explicitly affirmed the right to choose or veto leaders in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Honduras and Argentina, and implicitly Brazil and various European countries.

This is a direct violation of sovereignty and self-determination, which are bedrock foundations of any international order.

Who Will Lead the Dems to the Promised Land of a New Israel Policy? It’s clear the Democratic Party rank and file demands a new position on Israel. There’s one candidate, or maybe two, who can best answer that call, if they choose to.

Pretty compelling piece overall on who might be best positioned to finally bring the Democratic Party's leadership closer to its own base on Israel-Palestine. I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion but I think it demonstrates a serious thinking we need in the lead-up to 2028.

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.

The IDF account announced the new bombing campaign with a video of fighter jets set to the tune of “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival from 1969.

The song was an anti-war anthem in the United States during the Vietnam War.

No foreclosures for these Detroit properties that owe back taxes. Why? The Wayne County treasurer’s office said it has “no set policy” for letting Detroit properties with back taxes avoid foreclosure.

What do a property speculator, scrapyard operator and former owner of the Packard Plant have in common? They all have tax debt going back years on multiple Detroit properties that should have put them in foreclosure. But it didn't, and the county isn't saying why.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Newsom likens Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ questions future military support The California governor’s comments came as he promoted his new memoir in Los Angeles.

the "gradually and then all at once" structure of public opinion moves is a wild thing, and one way you know it's happened is when politicians of the moderate / poll-driven / cynical type jump in with takes that just recently were seen as provocatively ideological www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
