They’re not trying to defeat MAGA, they’re trying to buy politicians to make sure they’re left alone by the government, whichever party is in power. You obviously know this but you choose to mislead and gaslight.
One of my political takes is that the people who give money to help beat Trump and the MAGA movement are the good guys not the bad guys.

This is so strong and clear. You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly. The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

Turns out, putting Israeli interests above domestic affordability is a massive vote-loser. Who could have foreseen?

“In today’s ‘First Draft,’ I bring you a story the corporate media has refused to touch this campaign season: We’ve seen the state obliterate free speech and unconditionally fund a genocidal government all under the flag of “Jewish safety.” But what, if anything, is being done about Arab and Muslim safety?” - @prem_thakker reports from Dearborn, Michigan, for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/what-about-arab-…

It's outrageous to say Zionism is racism, we were told. Then the Israeli elections happened - and Israeli politicians argued that Zionism is in fact racism. New post 👇 owenjones.news/p/zionism-is-…

Horrific. Unforgivable.
Israeli forces have begun demolishing the town of Qantara, Lebanon. 48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon. This destruction is funded by the US and EU. This is Zionism.

So glad Ta-Nehisi said this: it is one of my bugbears that everyone gets that McCain moment wrong; even card-carrying anti-racist liberals praise McCain for that remark that was unambiguously and obviously racist. I remember Ben Affleck rightly calling it out on Bill Maher’s show years ago.

This is key from Jon. It’s not enough - à la Schumer and Tanden et al - to condemn Stevens’s disgraceful treachery and rightwing pivot. They need to reflect on how they got such a big race and big endorsement wrong and why.
This is the single most unproductive, selfish thing a Democratic candidate has done all cycle and likely many cycles before that. Having misjudged candidates in the past myself, I hope everyone who tried to recruit, support, and defend Haley can now admit what a mistake it was.

This is her life now. Good.
Haley Stevens gets heckled. She is called a traitor and the press conference ends as she is ushered away.

The witch hunt against Zack Polanski and those standing against apartheid is a TEST for Britain: a Corbyn moment or a Macklemore moment?
We're back! And it's quite an episode! 👀

The latest footage from Gaza. It wasn't just Israel who did this. The West did this. We will never scrub the shame away.

Oh man! Rest in power 😢 Very few actors have had such a big impact on my life from an early age - first as Captain Picard and then as Professor Xavier. What a loss. What an actor. Also, a loud critic of Trump and Brexit and a proud socialist. deadline.com/2026/10/patrick…

Sorry to say this: But the incredible surge for Palestinian-led parties in Israel is a victory from which they will not recover. It is likely to provoke a mighty backlash in Jewish Israeli society, with dire consequences.

"EXCLUSIVE: She Raised £35,000 for Gaza – Then GoFundMe Withheld the Money" Molly Furnival-Doran cycled 3,000 miles for charity, but the crowdfunding platform kept the money for months pending an obscure review process. Does GFM have a problem with Palestine fundraisers? zeteo.uk/p/exclusive-she-rai…

They should impeach Trump just for this. Disgusting.
Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

So you don't view Arab citizens as Israelis? Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Ambassador.
Today is election day in Israel, which is a national holiday. All voting is in person, ID required. No mail-in or absentee ballots. Arabs vote same as Israelis. Contentious process, but it's a democracy-not many of those in this region!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Arab voters are Israeli citizens. Listing them in contrast to Israelis is misconstruing the facts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citi… cfr.org/backgrounders/…

Don’t become numb to this. It’s disgusting and dangerous racism and if Rogers wins next month it’ll only escalate. Sick, sick stuff.
Trump: El-Sayed would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector

He sounds like a neo-Nazi @piersmorgan, not sure how you can continue to feign outrage over that description. What else would you call your pal’s rhetoric here? It’s pure white supremacist, Neo-Nazi racism.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Israel's defenders largely have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. When challenged about the actual details, even they can't defend the glaring, screaming racism.
Mike Tapp: 'Zionism isn't ethnic cleansing!' Shehab Khan: 'So why can a Jewish guy in London get Israeli citizenship but a displaced Palestinian can't?' Mike Tapp: '...I didn't know that. That doesn't sound equal to me.' The absolute intellectual collapse. He spent whole time defending the ideology, only to admit he doesn't know how it actually works on the ground
