Hey in case anyone's waffling here. Keep Mike Rogers far, far away from the US Senate.

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

He looks like someone tired to draw Bashar al-Assad from memory

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

Trump ran on cutting taxes.
But once tariffs are counted, his policies are raising taxes and costs this year for every income group except the richest 1%, per a new report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
The reason: tariffs, which are largely passed on to consumers as higher prices, outweigh the tax cuts for most Americans.
Even the right-leaning Tax Foundation calls the tariffs the largest U.S. tax increase as a share of GDP since 1993.

Interesting perspective for the “try being a Jew in Ramallah and see what happens to you 😈” crowd: a 65 year old Jewish American journalist being treated with care in a Palestinian hospital after being beaten nearly to death by Israeli Jewish settler terrorists. Makes you think!

Tough balancing act for Jake Sullivan, who demands to be treated like a national security expert but has to pretend to be the biggest dupe in the world to explain why he helped kill so many Palestinians
Jake Sullivan on Gaza:
There was a certain trap in the thinking of: we can get to a ceasefire and hostage deal. We negotiated one in November of 2023 and more than 100 hostages came out, and those were great days.
The guns fell silent, people came home, aid trucks went in at scale, and we overlearned the lesson from that — that that was achievable — and then thought, okay, we’re going to keep working till we get another one in place that ultimately ends the war.
And we consistently thought that it was closer than it was. It ultimately came to pass. When we left office, there was a ceasefire and hostage deal in place, but it took too long to get there, with so much suffering and death and tragedy in the meantime.
And I spend a lot of time thinking about that and having that weigh on me. But avoiding that kind of trap, I think, is an important lesson going forward.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸
49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.
This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.
Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.
So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!
I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:
“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”
Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

“For this social media campaign we are launching the phrase ‘complaining class,’ please reflect this in your posts. Thanks in advance.”

AIPAC is now spending 8x as much as Abdul El-Sayed's entire campaign on the MI Senate primary.
This race is not between Abdul and Haley Stevens. It is Abdul vs. AIPAC.
A billionaire-funded Super PAC shouldn't determine American elections or foreign policy. Let's support Abdul.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

President Trump has taken the vaccine.
I’ve taken the vaccine.
If you are unvaccinated, I would encourage you to take the vaccine as well.
