Nine years ago, at a political event in Brooklyn, I met a rising star, freshman Congressman Hakeem S. Jeffries.
As a Hasidic Jew, I was struck by how warmly he engaged with me, showing a deep respect for my faith and community, something not all elected officials take the time to do. 🧵

Donald Trump just posted this.
The ICE agents' "new and expensive" vehicle keeps him up at night, but he cares less that his hooligans fired a flurry of rounds at a U.S. citizen's incapacitated body because HE made it clear they'll have full immunity.
This is so cruel.

Donald Trump was inaugurated three hundred and seventy-four days ago but still can't take one ounce of accountability.
He really said this at a rally in Iowa this week. This is not AI.

Post-school drop-off mom with stuffed animals in the glove compartment and an ICU nurse at VHA helping a woman who was shoved to the ground are domestic terrorists.
Thugs traveling hundreds of miles to attack police officers and calling for government officials' deaths are Patriots.

Donald Trump is posting AI-generated images of the U.S. occupying Canada and Greenland. A perpetration of delusion, entirely oblivious to our history and regional politics - and enabled by people like Scott Bessent.

Of course not. Greenland ran its course as a distraction. Stand by for the next stupid fucking thing.
Wait, after all the drama, Trump didn't even discuss his "framework" of the "concept of a deal" about Greenland with Denmark?

Trump created a crisis over Greenland, which, based on statements from world leaders, he could've gotten this "concept of a deal" through respectful negotiations.
The rifts in NATO will remain until we elect a president who, at the very least, won't post screenshots of chats with world leaders.

On day 442 of Trump's 24-hour deadline to end Russia's war in Ukraine, his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seems pretty confident as he leaves to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin.

Trump's deal with pharma sounds pretty good on paper, but here is what's not being talked about.
There are no clear enforceable reductions; they are just voluntary promises from companies trying to minimize the risk from Trump's chaotic disastrous tariffs.
