It is your sworn duty, when you're in your 30's, to do something every day that would have gotten you viciously bullied in high school.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has credible evidence of the State of New York developing nuclear weapons

AIPAC has been furiously urging House Democrats to release messages of steadfast support for Israel in its war with Iran, the Prospect and Drop Site News have learned, even as bipartisan lawmakers come together on a War Powers Act resolution to prevent U.S. troops or funds being used in yet another Middle East conflagration. One member relayed that a colleague had received literally 100 phone calls from members of AIPAC and its allied pressure groups. AIPAC wants House Democratic members to state explicitly that they “stand with Israel” in its actions against Iran aimed at destroying the Islamic Republic’s nuclear capability, and add that Iran “must never have a nuclear weapon.”

...

According to a review of member statements at their congressional websites and on social media, 28 House Democrats have issued messages saying explicitly that they “stand with Israel,” or some close variation thereof. Another 35 express unequivocal support for Israel without using the magic words “stand with Israel” precisely, but they leave no doubt as to the member’s support. And 16 others express “soft” support for Israel, without quite the same inflammatory language. Three statements have been held up by AIPAC in particular, according to sources familiar with the situation, as models for others to follow. Those are from Reps. Greg Landsman (D-OH), Mike Levin (D-CA), and George Whitesides (D-CA). All are “frontline” members who had relatively close elections in 2024.

...

The “stand with Israel” caucus includes some usual suspects who have long backed up Israel’s actions, from Reps. Ted Lieu and Brad Sherman in California, to Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Lois Frankel in Florida, to Problem Solvers and New Democrats like Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Brad Schneider (D-IL). But freshman and swing-state members are also well represented—precisely the type of members who survive on large campaign donations from the likes of AIPAC. First-term representatives Johnny Olszewski (D-MD), April McClain Delaney (D-MD), Herbert Conaway (D-NJ), John Mannion (D-NY), and Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) were all in the explicit “stand with Israel” caucus, while freshman members Luz Rivas (D-CA), Sarah Elfreth (D-MD), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Laura Gillen (D-NY), and George Latimer (D-NY) agreed with the sentiment but without the explicit “stand with Israel” wording. Other members in perennially difficult electoral battles, like Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), stood with Israel as well, along with numerous members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

completely and very normal that a minimum of at least 40% of elected Democrats in Congress are basically fully on board the "Bomb Iran" train. super awesome and cool.

can someone remind me one more time how you "reform" this party? i guess as long as all of these congresspeople say that they love gay people and abortion and scrunch up their face and say "mmmm noooooo i don't like" when Donald Trump ships another few hundred innocent migrants to Guantanamo unimpeded then they can be in support of killing as many Arabs as humanly possible.

good thing these politicians aren't easily bought or i'd start to think they might abandon those issues too one day if pressed hard enough.... hmm....

I have always dreamed of interviewers asking basic questions of the killer clowns who run America. I can't believe it took Tucker Carlson to do it.

I’ve heard Cruz talk about deposing “the mullahs” for 13 years straight. During the 2016 GOP primary, he said he wanted to see if “sand glows in the dark.” You’d figure he’d learn some basic facts about the main villain in his moral universe in that time

Just so everyone knows, in my state of Minnesota an indigenous poet and activist named Isavela Lopez got snatched off the street during a protest in broad daylight by unidentified men in an unmarked car. It has since been determined that those men were FBI agents, that she is being held in a jail in a suburb of Minneapolis called Elk River, and that her court hearing is 9 cst am tomorrow (06/12/25) and we are raising enough of a stink about it that it's likely she will be released without charges.

However I think the important part here is that she was not arrested and read her rights by the MPD, nor was she profiled and taken to a detention center by ICE. She was kidnapped off the street and put into an unmarked car by the fucking FBI on a major intersection with a lot of people around. This is a huge deal and should be national news that the FBI is behaving this way. They are trying to disappear protesters.
