You deserve guaranteed healthcare. You shouldn't have to worry about how much it costs when you get sick. Why? Because you're a person with dignity. And this is the richest, most powerful country in the world.

The people of Gaza deserve to return to their stolen homes inside what is now Israel. Because Israel won't allow that, UNRWA has helped keep Palestinians alive in Gaza, all while protecting their status as refugees. This declaration from the "Board of Peace" continues a joint US-Israeli campaign to strip Palestinians of their refugee status, and their right to live in peace and freedom.

UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict. The people of Gaza deserve better.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize. No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count. No President has ever done this before. And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Today marks 1,000 days since the start of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. To this day, Palestinians continue to be massacred by this apartheid regime with the full backing of our government. We need a full arms embargo now and to bring perpetrators to justice. Free Palestine. x.com/AJEnglish/stat…

In the 1,000 days since October 7, 2023, Israel's genocide has left Gaza in ruins, the Board of Peace falters, and Israel expands control of the besieged enclave, while continuing to violate the "ceasefire" in almost daily attacks. Here's what we know⤵️aje.news/9tugjj

If Bernie’s billionaires wealth tax was law, Alex Karp would owe $670 million in taxes leaving him with $12.73 billion for himself while every family in America would have universal childcare & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing benefits under Medicare. Let’s go!

What’s fascinating here if you listen closely is that Alex Karp believes that Congress is going to implement a wealth tax in reaction to the AI hype/doomerism from Sam Altman/Dario. So he’s urging everyone to dial down the rhetoric. He has put his finger on what is arguably the

🌲Sen. Susan Collins’ household stake in UnitedHealth Group is up 850%, journalist Nathan Bernard noted, with the increase coming after Medicaid cuts in Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” boosted the insurer’s outlook. Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner called congressional stock ownership “legalized corruption,” saying lawmakers and their spouses should be barred from owning and trading individual stocks because they can profit from legislation they help pass. 🎥 @nathanTbernard

The level of wilful blindness and emotional immaturity when discussing the 9/11 attack -- a full 25 years later -- is stunning. The US wasn't chosen randomly. OF COURSE decades of US violence and dominance of the region played a significant role in the attack. Forcing people to pretend this isn't true out of some solemn reverence for this attack is repressive and deceitful. It'd be like saying that Israeli violence and repression played no role in the Oct. 7 attacks. Even the CIA has a doctrine to observe this causal relationship (blowback). Identifying the cause of X is totally unrelated to the question of whether X is justified. It's good to see that these dumb attacks are losing their potency as the candidate who said it -- Melat Kiros -- basically won a Congressional seat last night in Colorado, defeating a worthless Democratic incumbent pointlessly filling that seat for 30 years.

Melat Kiros was fired for speaking out against the genocide in 2023. Darializa Avila Chevalier was arrested for protesting genocide on Columbia's campus in 2024. Both are headed to Congress in 2026. If pro-Israel repression was supposed to intimidate them, it failed.

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court just helped @JDVance create Citizens United 2.0 In the text of its ruling, the court insists that the alleged strength of already weakened anti-corruption laws justifies a ruling that now creates a new conduit for billionaires to buy elections. “Given the meaningful prophylactic measures available to combat quid pro quo corruption or its appearance, the Court concludes that the political-party coordinated-expenditure limits at issue here are ‘disproportionate’ and are not ‘necessary,’” the court’s majority claimed.
