  1. Doing the pick me Jew thing never works bro.

    " #BradLander, the #Jewish #progressive #Democratic #candidate for the #US #HouseofRepresentatives in #NewYork’s 10th #Congressional District, was targeted with insults and calls to leave over allegations of being a #Zionist while attending a protest outside #MadisonSquareGarden on Saturday.

    "You look like a scrotum, you filthy ballsack!" one protester shouted at him. "F*** you, ballsack Zionist!"

    He was further accused of being "another paid Zionist" and was told to "get out of here."

    The confrontation took place during a protest against an event organized by the #Hindu #nationalist #RSS movement. #Lander attempted to explain to #protesters that he had come to join their cause, but some made clear that, in their view, there was no place at the demonstration for a Zionist, even one who opposes the policies of the #Israeli government.

    The confrontation was particularly notable given Lander’s own views on #Israel."

  2. Leon Black is the first witness in this rape trafficking ring #Epstein investigation to walk out of a #Congressional inquiry. Black is in the #Epstein files thousands of times, paid #Epstein hundreds of millions and is accused of rape and sexual assault.

    What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today?

    We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

    From the U.S. #Congress Representative Stansbury reports.

  3. "Three #progressive leaders in #Colorado are criticizing #democraticsocialist #MelatKiros, who is running to represent the 1st #Congressional District in #Denver, for refusing days before the #primary #election to call the deadly #firebombing attack last year on a #Jewish community rally in #Boulder #antisemitic.

    One of the leaders is a state representative who has endorsed #Kiros.

    Kiros’ comments and the criticism come as the 29-year-old first-time political #candidate appears to be on the cusp of unseating #Democratic #US Rep. #DianaDeGette amid a wave of discontent with Democratic incumbents.

    “I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in a recent interview with 9News." :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

  4. “The Israel Lobby Is Losing It's Grip On The Democratic Party”

    by The Dissident on Substack

    “In New York, three candidates endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won primaries against establishment Democrats, Brad Lander defeated Representative Daniel Goldman for New York’s 10th Congressional District, Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated Adriano Espaillat in NY congressional district 13, and Claire Valdez won New York’s 7th Congressional District against Antonio Reynoso”

  5. I'm endorsing and voting for #Bernadette Greene-Placentia for #Congress. She's a former Truck Driver and #Congressional Aide. She fights for middle class working families like herself. Show support and #vote for her in the primary in July and in the November 3rd #election.

  6. @GhostOnTheHalfShell Most state legislatures will *never* pass #RankedChoiceVoting. But do you know what *else* would castrate #USpol ‘party machines’ that virtually *guarantee* re-election of incumbents in #gerrymandered (by the party machines) #Congressional districts?

    #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting has a similar impact as RCV but you can do it now in all 50 states!

    #Resist intelligently!

  7. Citizens of #louisiana are signing a petition to recall #Governor Landry. Stealing a #congressional seat has made citizens very angry with the #republicans now. #politics

  8. #StateTroopers arrest Rep. #JustinPearson for refusing to leave the balcony in a show of #nonviolent resistance after #SpeakerSexton cleared it.

    Rep. #JustinJones burned a confederate flag in the rotunda after
    99% white #Tennessee House #Republicans pass a #racist 9-0 map stripping majority Black #Memphis of #congressional #representation.

    3 Republican abstentions, 2 no votes (white and Gillespie, both from #Memphis)

  9. Clark Construction; expect to see their CEO called before #Senate #hearings someday. They're #building "the ballroom", got some extra cash to line their pockets in thx-
    Repair of a square, two fountains, was to cost $3.3M, according to #Biden admin. This admin. gives #ClarkConstruction a no-bid "urgency" #contract, for - wait for it - not $3.3M but $17.4M!

  10. To a world at a loss as to how to handle Trump, I say this: the only answer may be to wait him out

    As for the supposed constraints of #Congress & #SupremeCourt, they have been all but inert & the world can only watch and wait. Both have been cowed by #Trump

    This year’s #midterm #elections must alter this

    They will almost surely deliver #Democrat majority, leading to #congressional #vetoes on “emergency powers” & possible #impeachment ...

  11. If
    for the #American #Constitution
    a #President
    MAY NOT start a Military conflict
    without a #Congressional authorization
    WHY the #US #Army
    went to bomb a country
    without the consent of Congress ?
    None of the US #Military Authorities were concerned about the lack of congressional authorization ?

  12. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "The #Trump administration didn’t even offer a public sales pitch, & polls show the #Iran attack is one of the most initially unpopular #military operations in modern #American #history. So it is far less politically risky for #Democrats to oppose this war - & to use their #congressional power to legislatively obstruct its #funding."

  13. “A purpose of the #war on #Iran might well be to provoke a #terrorist attack inside the #UnitedStates. This would provide Donald #Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “ #federalize” the coming #Congressional #elections.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

  15. theconversation.com/us-israeli. "Donald #Trump neither tried to obtain #Congressional approval, nor did he pursue a [UNSC] #resolution ahead of these actions. And the attack has come in the middle of talks between #Tehran & #Washington. The facts are clear. This is an #illegal #war, both in terms of US #law & #international #statutes."
