John Fetterman loudly supports genocide and the slaughter of Palestinian, Lebanese and Iranian children. By definition, he is not a good human. So of course Democrats are heaping praise on him.
New: Senate Dems heaped praise on Fetterman this week, arguing their party needs to be more inclusive, especially if they want to win Senate control next year. Schumer called Fetterman a "strong advocate” for PA and a “valued Democrat in our caucus.” Schatz said he's “a good human and a good Democrat” Welch said his critics should "show some respect" “I wish the atmosphere [were] more collegial, and we don’t go after each other simply on our differences," Kim added

Wild to think about how if Kristof lived in Gaza or the West Bank, the Israeli military would likely by now have just announced he was aiding terrorism and blown him up with guided missiles, as they’ve done to countless Palestinian journalists over the last three years.

The NY Times published its piece insinuating that Graham Platner's $200,000 home makes him an oligarch on literally the same day Sen. Susan Collins' new financial disclosure shows she is worth literally millions of dollars. It's a reminder that there's no such thing as "objectivity" - a news outlet's story selection is a sign of its subjective viewpoint and its goals. Of course, all candidates deserve scrutiny — but the point here is that what corporate news outlets decide to cover and not cover is a subjective and often ideological decision, even if they then write the stories in the language of objectivity. Everyone should stop pretending “objectivity” is a thing. It’s not. Fairness and accuracy is — but the moment decisions are made that something is news (say, Platner’s modest house) and something isn’t news (say, Collins’ massive wealth), there is inherently no objectivity. It would be better for outlets just to be more honest and admit what their goals, values and viewpoints really are.

WOW! While describing what supposedly ‘Israel’s critics’ do Netanyahu actually revealed the exact tactic Israel is using. “You can say anything you want. I can paint you as a monster, and if I say it often enough, enough people will believe it”

Noteworthy: at the height of globally consequential ceasefire/peace negotiations between the US and Iran, one of the most highly known and celebrated TV shown in American media, 60 minutes, has Netanyahu on for a full interview in which he is free to explain why the war is not over, and all kinds of psychotic Zionist claims, but that's not the main thing. The main thing is Netanyahu is presented as Trump equal, if not senior partner in shaping USA policy. He is quite literally framed as a co-president of the US, when Americans are looking with growing horror and trepidation at the consequences of his war, into which Trump was forced. That is to say: they want you to know they control, humiliate and destroy you. They want you to know they know you are powerless. They know people say they control the media, and everything else, and they are saying 'yes, we do, and there's nothing you can do about it, you worthless worm'. Everything is in the open, and so must be, and will be, Zionism's demise, and the end of its hold over whatever is left of the US when everything is said and done.

The guy standing next to Trump's pastor at the gold statue ribbon-cutting is billionaire Brock Pierce. You may remember him from the documentary An Open Secret about pedophilia in Hollywood. He along with two others had to flee the country to avoid charges related to drugging & abusing boys. More recently, you may have seen his e-mails with Epstein from the files, where he talks about gifting Epstein with 20 Ukrainian women. It’s also possible you saw this other headline about Pierce’s friend being found dead after claiming that pedophile elites were trying to kill him via CIA and Mossad.

surely Rep. Josh Gottheimer, author of this fresh, bold new take, would agree that the congressional Dem who took the most money from rightwing Nazi-art collector Harlan Crow is a textbook example of this problem... with the slight wrinkle that said Dem is Josh Gottheimer

Pentagon fails financial audit for 8th year in a row, so Let's reward them by nearly doubling their already bloated budget⁉️
The Pentagon budget is already bloated. It has repeatedly failed to pass an audit. And now Trump’s war is enriching defense contractors even more. We must not give Hegseth this huge slush fund. He has no idea what he is doing. washingtonpost.com/national-… militarytimes.com/news/penta…

It is literally illegal for a real estate event to be a Jewish only sale gathering. This isn’t Israel, we have anti discrimination laws. Mamdani doesn’t decide what’s a Jewish gathering, Jews do and most Jews would easily say it’s unacceptable for a synagogue to sell stolen goods.
The government does not get to decide which Jewish gatherings are acceptable and which deserve condemnation.

🗞️ NEW: Leaked audio recordings released through the “Hondurasgate”leaks project and reported by Diario Red allegedly expose a covert network involving former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, Trump-aligned Republicans, and allies of Argentine President Javier Milei discussing plans to fund a U.S.-based disinformation operation targeting the left-wing governments of Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras, according to a report by Spanish outlet El País. 🔹The recordings allegedly capture Hernández requesting funds from current Honduran officials to establish a U.S.-based digital media operation aimed at spreading anti-left narratives and destabilizing regional governments. 🔹In one alleged exchange, Hernández claims Milei pledged $350,000 in support and says “files” were being prepared against the governments of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Colombian President Gustavo Petro. 🔹Another recording, previously reported by Drop Site, allegedly shows Hernández claiming Israeli-linked donors and “a group of rabbis” helped finance his pardon by President Donald Trump after his U.S. narcotrafficking conviction. 🔹Hernández also allegedly claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a role in securing his release.

TRANSLATION: Greater Israel or Bust
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: This war must end with changing the borders of the State of Israel — in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, and of course in the West Bank. If it were up to me, we would have annexed territory long ago.

For absolutely no reason, here's a clip from a real estate multi-millionaire Tim Gurner in 2023 saying unemployment needs to aggressively rise so workers “learn their place.”
With AI’s job-killing, human-replacing revolution on the horizon, the unemployment rate for young graduates is already at its highest level since the start of the pandemic — the global scourge that, just six years ago, yanked those same kids out of high school and deferred their first sweet steps out of childhood. One bolt from the blue, then another: It’s enough to make a person think the universe is out to get them. “How one would even start a career now — scarred by the recent past, menaced by a post-human future, and debilitated by early exposure to smartphones — is beyond me,” writes Ryu Spaeth. “Like many others deep into their careers, I’m apprehensive about what is ahead, too.” What advice can you then give the young grad? One school of thought holds that, whatever challenges lie in the future, people will manage to adapt and flourish. That those new to the workforce can become the “author of [their] own professional lives." Spaeth explores what happens when that promise increasingly feels like a lie: nymag.visitlink.me/eRm6Mo

To say that Trump underestimated Iran is an understatement. The Israelis sold him - and he ended up believing - a narrative that portrayed Iran as so weak that the war would be won within 4 days. 60 plus days later, Trump is still stuck in the mess Israel sold him.

Hasan Piker calls out President Barack Obama for saying he wants a strong Republican Party "I want no Republican Party. I want an ineffective, feckless, weak Republican Party, like the Democratic Party is today. I want a Republican Party that is so utterly dominated and humiliated in broad daylight that people are embarrassed to say they're voting for a Republican."

What does this resemble historically?: "a few Christian villages will be allowed to remain, but not a single Shia house"🤔
"We have freedom of action up to the Litani. We're operating to flatten the entire area in order to prevent those residents from returning... Both the houses and of course the vegetation" April 15: Israeli minister Miri Regev makes it clear that Israel's plan is the complete annihilation of South Lebanon. She "clarifies" that only the area south of the IDF's current front line (the so-called "yellow line") will be totally obliterated and made uninhabitable - in the area north of it, "a few Christian villages" will be allowed to remain, but "not a single Shia house" Aired on 103FM
