Will you support the suspension of military aid to Israel congruent with a federal law as they are committing crimes against humanity?

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

(1/X) Not to be a Debbie downer, but when I step away for a minute and come back, I'm always struck by how much worse things are than anyone wants to admit. By "things" here, I mean the Trump administration. There's plenty of reasons ppl do this...

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it," but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

What the hell is this? Because it is certainly not a leader.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

So, are the people who in 2023/24 drove their Childcrusher 5000 GTX* to the most expensive gas station in the county & posted photos of how much it cost to fill their 50-gallon** tank going to be doing the same thing on coming weeks and months?

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war in Iran.

The price of unchecked war powers is paid by innocent civilians and servicemembers sent into harm’s way.

Voting YES to put a check on Trump's reckless abuse of power.

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trump’s illegal war.

That’s on top of the Pentagon’s $1T budget β€” which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T.

Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.

We know the Sheriff has turned people over to CBP. We don’t know how many.
Reporters simply haven’t questioned him publicly about immigration.
They should take the opportunity at all those bail reform interviews. 2/

Dana Perino bragged about the Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pretending they were negotiating with Iran while the Pentagon planned an attack. Witkoff is part of the Ukraine/Russia negotiations .Kushner is part of the plan to rebuild Gaza. Who would trust them after this?
