Israeli forces killed more Palestinians waiting for food at aid sites over the weekend, as it continues to starve the population of Gaza.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are complicit in this bloodbath.
We must stop all military assistance to Israel.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

The same Republicans and voters who thought egg prices were a national historic emergency are now telling us to be patient while prices on everything rise and our 401ks disappear. Rage on, people. Rage on. They won’t listen to anything else. So much winning. @handsoff

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”
Do I have that just about right?

In fairness to Pete Hegseth nobody asked him *specifically* at his confirmation hearings if he would get drunk and text the editor in chief of the Atlantic his war plans.
We find ourselves in a real “gotcha” moment!

Maybe just maybe, the Secretary of Defense being an utterly incapable idiot and raging day-drunk is a national security problem.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The reason Sanders and AOC can do this is pretty simple: Everything they say is a story, and in that story, there are good guys and bad guys. The good guys are the underdogs. They face seemingly insurmountable odds. And the bad guys are not just bad. They are evil. All that's left is the fight.
