There is no chance Donald Trump wrote one word of this letter. Not one. Can you imagine Trump independently deploying the word ‘resounds’?
NEW The New York Times has obtained the letter President Trump left for President Biden in the Oval Office in 2021. The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir. Full Story: nyti.ms/4zbXc6m

Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Dems, says he won’t be supporting Schumer for leader. Even if he runs unopposed? asked @lindsemcpherson. “He’s not going to run unopposed, I don’t think,” Sanders said

And that’s in spite of all the fake allegations of antisemitism, Muslim Brotherhood, etc. I love the fact that the people in our politics and media who claim to speak for American Jews are so out of touch with actual American Jews!
🚨More from the Jewish Electorate Institute/The Mellman Group post-election poll of Jewish voters: 59% of Jewish Democrats have a favorable opinion of Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, while only 25% view him unfavorably.

Is Matthew Yglesias Hindu? If so, it 100% explains why Mehdi Hasan has been constantly bullying her on Twitter.

They’re not trying to defeat MAGA, they’re trying to buy politicians to make sure they’re left alone by the government, whichever party is in power. You obviously know this but you choose to mislead and gaslight.
One of my political takes is that the people who give money to help beat Trump and the MAGA movement are the good guys not the bad guys.

A vile racist who called Muslims in Congress the ‘jihad squad’ and suggested Ilhan Omar was a suicide bomber is ejected from Congress. Another great result from the recent great midterms!

lol, where have you been for the past 25 years? The US and UK media and politicians spent decades lecturing/criticizing/condemning Muslim community leaders and community orgs on both sides of the Atlantic - in some cases justifiably! Take your faux outrage somewhere else.
This is so fucking condescending and offensive. I would say I feel sorry for my Muslim American cousins whose leaders refused to endorse Harris, voted for Trump and ushered in this nightmare, but I would never presume to speak for them or to condescend like this.

Also on a factual point @julieroginsky while I publicly disagreed with Muslims who stupidly voted for Trump in 2024, the Muslim vote, which is tiny, did not cost Harris the general election or ‘usher’ in Trump. She lost all seven swing states.

Neera Tanden at The National Press Club: The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade. It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

I feel sorry for my Jewish American cousins who stand for such progressive and liberal and democratic values but are constantly represented, at a community org level, by leaders who want to suck up to 'great replacement' fascists.
Just going to leave this here.

So @neeratanden has spent the past 24 hours retweeting multiple attacks on me, including this one from Schlossberg, an anti-Muslim bigot who yesterday baselessly accused Abdul El-Sayed of running on his religion, this time accusing me of being anti-Black for criticizing Hakeem Jeffries. These are the kind of vicious and baseless personal attacks Neera engages in online and then she and her supporters play the victim if anyone criticizes her back.

Meanwhile when it comes to being anti-Black, Ilhan Omar’s home was raided by DHS and the terminally online Neera not only didn’t post anything condemning it (she did a couple of retweets of others) but then lied the next day and claimed she had posted a condemnation the day before. Anyways, my interview with Neera since which she has been nonstop attacking me: youtu.be/mh49HPVMAg0?si=4EuW…
