Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more
And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits
Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million
It’s just so lawless

Untreated learning disabilities can result in poor coping skills, poor self esteem, and other psychological issues. This is why funding for education is important.
Trump: "Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that okay?"

Setting aside the bad science, the message here is that pregnant women should suffer--and risk harming their fetus with untreated fever--to reduce their chance of having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Which makes clear his disdain for women *and* people with ASD.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Cooper to announce run for NC's open U.S. Senate seat, sources say
The decision could shape Republicans' plans to retain the seat being vacated by U.S. Sen Thom Tillis, who isn't seeking reelection. Democrats are trying to flip at least four Senate seats to gain control of the chamber.

Shylock is a slur. It means Jewish bankers who fleece people for high interest. Trump knows it. He’s referred to Jews using this slur more than once. Where are all the people that love to shout antisemitism on both sides of the aisle? Nowhere. Cause they don’t actually fucking care about Jews.
Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.
