  1. 📰 Hungary’s New Leader Reveals Viktor Orbán Was Paying CPAC — #TheNewRepublic

    New Hungarian leader #Magyar reveals that previous leader #Orbán was funding CPAC (Christian Political Action Committee), an American Republican political organization. Magyar will put a stop to the support.

    This shows that Orbán's defeat is good for USA, as expected, but nobody expected it to be quite this important.

    “Who Broke Arm”

    AS IF HE DID IT TO HIMSELF.

    “Brian McGinnis, in full uniform, can be seen on video being grabbed by Republican Senator Tim Sheehy and three police officers. They lift him up in the doorway while he screams “no one wants to fight for Israel” with his hand in the doorway still. Then a snap can be heard, as McGinnis’s arm breaks.”

  3. Why does #TheNewRepublic have a #substack?

    They are a news organization with their own website on which they routinely post articles? Why do they need to use a medium that also supports nazis?

  4. Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds | The New Republic

    Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds

    The indictment of the former FBI director is an un-American act. Period.

    James Comey has done some things in his career that I didn’t care for and which I suspect you didn’t like either, for what I’m guessing are similar reasons. But those things are irrelevant today. As of Thursday evening, Comey is one more symbol of Donald Trump’s utter contempt for law and decency. To the extent that the United States of America was founded as a nation where the law was more powerful than any individual leader, the sinister indictment of Comey is the ultimate symbol—so far, that is—of Trump’s contempt for the United States of America.

    Yes—contempt for the United States of America. This may confuse some Americans, who see Trump constantly wrapping himself in the flag, on some obscene occasions even hugging and kissing it—a Judas kiss from a man who has no understanding of what love of country actually means—and think of him as patriotic. But this is exactly what authoritarian thugs throughout history do. They bathe themselves in flag imagery as they torch the best values that flag represents.

  5. Medicaid Cuts? Yes. But the #GOP Is Quietly Cutting Medicare, Too

    A little understood aspect of the big, ugly bill could cause devastating problems for seniors and others.

    PAYGO is not a term that crosses many lips in daily discourse. But it may soon be used more widely, as its impact resonates in the aftermath of the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Act. While the enormous and damaging cuts in #Medicaid have dominated discussion since the bill was enacted—cuts that will take millions of Americans off of #HealthInsurance, force the closure of many rural hospitals and nursing homes, and likely put enormous increased pressure on emergency rooms across the country—another shoe is soon to drop. And that is major cuts in its sister program, #Medicare.

  7. Michael Tomasky, #TheNewRepublic: "Remember when January 20 was supposed to be #LiberationDay? How’s that working out? A hundred days into Trump’s second term and we’ve seen universities bullied, citizens investigated for political speech, legal residents jailed for speaking out about Palestine, and a 4-year-old with cancer deported without access to medication. Trump’s economic cure-all, his tariffs, are hammering small businesses, paralyzing industries, and setting the stage for a recession."

  8. 「トランプのFBIは主要な気候グループを犯罪的に起訴する
    /トランプ政権はバイデン時代の助成金を受けた気候団体をターゲットにしている。」: THE NEW REPUBLIC

    「FBIはシティバンクに対し、EPAの気候助成金の受給者は詐欺の可能性があると見なされていると語った。

    つまり、トランプ政権は気候科学と影響に関する作業を犯罪化したいと考えています」と@capitolhuntersのアカウントは水曜日にXに書いています。

    「次期政権は連邦政府の助成金を取り消すだけでなく、受給者を犯罪者として宣言する。政府の「環境労働」の呼びかけの下で申請されたこれらの助成金はすべて、審査され、受け入れられました。トランプ氏は彼らを投獄したいのだ」と述べた。」

    無茶苦茶ですね。

  10. I saw an FB post with the picture of a man with the number "17" on his forehead and the caption "Israel brands Palestinian detainees in West Bank with numbers on their foreheads" and was reminded of Noam Chomsky's Fateful Triangle book:



    .> On Holocaust Day, the 27 of Nissan [the date in the Jewish calendar], the people who were arrested were ordered to write numbers on their hands with their own hands, in memory of the Jews in the extermination camps. --- Aharon Bachar , “Do not say: We did not know, we did not hear’,” Yediot Ahronot, Dec. 3, 1982 .


    For Context:



    .> Aharon Bachar writes of “the things that are being done in my name and in yours”: “we will never be able to escape the responsibility and to say that we did not know and we did not hear.” He describes a meeting between Labor Alignment leaders (including some of the most noted hawks, such as Golda Meir’s adviser Israel Galili) and Menachem Begin, where they presented to Begin “detailed accounts of terrorist acts [against Arabs] in the conquered territories.” They described the “collective punishment in the town of Halhul,” in these words:


    .> .> The men were taken from their houses beginning at midnight, in pajamas, in the cold. The notables and other men were concentrated in the square of the mosque and held there until morning. Meanwhile men of the Border Guards [noted for their cruelty] broke into houses; beating people with shouts and curses. During the many hours that hundreds of people were kept in the mosque square, they were ordered to urinate and excrete on one another and also to sing Hatikva [“The Hope,” the national anthem of Israel] and to call out “Long Live the State of Israel.” Several times people were beaten and ordered to crawl on the ground. Some were even ordered to lick the earth. At the same time four trucks were commandeered and at daybreak, the inhabitants were loaded on the trucks, about 100 in each truck, and taken like sheep to the Administration headquarters in Hebron.
    .> .> On Holocaust Day, the 27 of Nissan [the date in the Jewish calendar], the people who were arrested were ordered to write numbers on their hands with their own hands, in memory of the Jews in the extermination camps.



    .> The report continues, detailing how prisoners are beaten, tortured and humiliated, how settlers are permitted into the prisons to take part in the beating of prisoners, how the settlers brutalize the local inhabitants with impunity, even in the case of a settler who killed an Arab, whose identity is known, but who is not arrested.[^113] All legitimate, presumably, by the standards of the New Republic. All legitimate, presumably, by the standards of the New Republic, as quoted above. The same correspondent reports similar stories a few weeks earlier, presented to top government officials who did not even take the trouble to check the information, provided by an Israeli soldier.[^114]


  11. I will add The New Republic to my list of cloistered press entities that object to ad blockers and in turn block the person from reading its contents.
