"Cartels Are Bad But They're Not 'Terrorists.' This Is Mission Creep" After the illegal Trump drone strike, & writing for Zeteo, retired special ops sergeant Wes Bryant asks: are US forces going to be used inside of Mexico, or even on US streets, next?
Rep. Thomas Massie tells me: "They're already running $2 million in ads against me. It's three billionaires, two hedge fund managers, one of them is in Epstein's black book," citing John Paulson, Paul Singer, and Miriam Adelson. "Those are max donors to the Speaker…NRCC…RNC…Trump's campaign."
Part of me is annoyed at myself for letting this Israeli racist colonel get under my skin. Part of me thinks we should in fact normalize telling genocidal war criminals to "fuck off" on television. Full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0c...
"My Plea to Democrats: Stop Being Polite, Go Nuclear" Absolute #mustread for Zeteo from former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens, in which he lays out what the Dems must do if they win back the House next year, including defunding the entire executive branch and nationalizing SpaceX.
Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left
people like bari weiss make me wish cancel culture were real
"[T]his isn’t about financial prudence. It’s about politics. Ellison is paying not for a strong business asset, but to send a signal to the anti-mainstream media crowd that CBS News is being reshaped," writes @oliverdarcy.bsky.social about the pending Bari Weiss deal with New Paramount...
Nine grafs deep into the article and we find out: "Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters."
fondly remembering the time when Bari Weiss cited a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" in The New York Times puck.news/david-elliso...
Watch @premthakker.bsky.social confront Rep. Randy Fine about why he doesn’t support Congress disclosing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. He also speaks to Rep. Thomas Massie about how his GOP colleagues are hiding and not releasing the Epstein files.
Me: "JD Vance has the charisma of a wooden chair, so I don't think he would be that big a threat in '28." Acosta: "Or a used sofa for that matter. " I joined @jimacosta.bsky.social on his show to talk about the prospect of a JD Vance presidency. Full convo: zeteo.com/p/this-has-n...
If this was 2021 and this was an Epstein survivor saying Epstein had an eight by ten framed picture with Biden on his desk it would be on a loop on Fox, the only story that the Times was covering, and Alex Jones would be having a cardiac arrest on his livestream. But...
"Week after week, month after month, they embarrass themselves, undermine their colleagues and demoralize their voters. Theirs is a record of cowardice and capitulation."
"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
"Let's Call the 'GREAT' Gaza Post-War Plan Exactly What It Is: Ethnic Cleansing" The ridiculous and leaked 'Riviera' proposal offers Palestinians just $5,000 to leave & includes projects like the 'Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone,' writes Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu for Zeteo.
"We should act like he's not joking... they're gonna try and manufacture some sort of a crisis." @keithellison.bsky.social, one of the only US politicians to predict a Trump win in 2015, agrees that Trump wants to stay in office beyond 2028, as a "dictator." Full intv: zeteo.com/p/keith-elli...
"Columbia University Suspended Me for My Pro-Palestinian Activism" Shocking stuff in here from a Columbia PhD student:
"Why Aren't Democrats Capitalizing on the Scandal of the Summer?" Trump, Israel, pedophilia, corruption. If you were to lab-engineer a scandal to hurt the president and the GOP, this is exactly what you would concoct.
DC! Join us at Georgetown for a free screening of our film ’Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’, an investigation into the Israeli military’s targeting of hospitals. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social & Dr. Feroze Sidhwa will discuss afterward. First come first serve. Register: events.georgetown.edu/acmcu/event/...
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
Advocates for immigrants and low-wage workers said the companies owe it to their drivers to speak out.
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
Happy Labor Day!
If you needed any more reasons to hate Kyrsten Sinema:

One of the weirdest statements you will ever read.
"It's not alarmist to say that these are goons, this is a secret police that is going into our cities to kidnap people, abduct people off the streets" @katmabu.bsky.social on the dangers of ICE agents and potentially troops roaming the streets of Chicago.
“‘Nakba All Over Again': West Bank Palestinians Still Displaced More Than 6 Months After Israel Forced Them to Flee” The Israeli operation in Jenin, Tulkarm, and other cities, has displaced more than 40,000 people – the largest mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank in decades.
Think about all those people in the West, in liberal political and media circles, on this hellsite, who insisted repeatedly for months that Hamas was the obstacle to a ceasefire deal. Have nothing but contempt for them and never listen to them ever again.
“The Nobel Prize and a Testy Phone Call: How the Trump-Modi Relationship Unraveled” Fascinating piece about how the once-super-close Modi/Trump friendship has fallen apart over Pakistan, and of course, due to both men’s egos - especially Trump’s!
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
“President Homelander” - @radiofreetom.bsky.social
“This Week in Democracy – Week 32: 'Maybe We Like a Dictator,' Says Wannabe Dictator Donald Trump” Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, pressing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in Donald Trump's second term.
This is incredible.
Worth your short watch.
"Dangerous, Irrational, Illogical: RFK Jr. Has Put So Many Lives at Risk" The decision by Trump's extremist health secretary to restrict COVID vaccines & oust the CDC chief could be a death sentence for vulnerable Americans, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.
"I had never seen anyone virtue-signal so gracefully, so effortlessly. I was like, 'I have to work with this guy.'" 😂😂😂😂 Meet Cory Booker's (fake) political consultant, played by Zeteo's very own @heycapello. "No one does it like Cory." zeteo.com/subscribe
Ex-Israeli minister Danny Ayalon: "This is where Hamas is." Me: "Danny, where is the Israeli military headquarters?" Ayalon: "Tel Aviv." Me: "It's in the heart of Tel Aviv. So can a Palestinian group blow up all of Tel Aviv to get to [it]"? Ayalon: "No." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/danny-ayal...
"Egypt Isn’t Starving Gaza – Israel Is" Debunking the latest lie from pro-Israel propagandists: Egypt could open its border crossing with Gaza anytime and end the Israeli-created famine in the Strip. Here's the truth.
"A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich," then-Chief Judge of New York's Court of Appeals, Sol Wachtler, said in 1985. Oh. The. Irony.
Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"
“The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.” This should be one of the biggest scandals in America right now. And every Democrat should be loudly calling for RFK Jr’s resignation
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was taken into immigration custody after he was released pending a criminal trial, has asked an immigration judge to reopen his immigration proceedings and is seeking asylum in the United States
"Is Trump Embracing Socialism With His Intel Deal?" This is a huge opportunity for the left, writes @graceblakeley.substack.com for Zeteo. Because the question is not now 'big government or free markets?' It's 'who controls the economy – the elites or the people?' Must-read:
This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions
The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than ‘thoughts and prayers.’
Ex-Israeli minister Ayalon: "There is no famine in Gaza." Me: "Why does the IPC say there is a famine?" Ayalon: "The IPC changed the criteria." Me: "That's a lie. What criteria did they change?" Ayalon: "They changed many criteria." My full interview with Danny Ayalon: zeteo.com/p/danny-ayal...
"When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Islam once and for all?" asks Loomer. Imagine a top ally of President Biden saying: "When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Judaism once and for all?" Would there be media silence? Wouldn't every Democrat be asked to denounce it?
"ICE Gives No-Bid SUV Contract to Republican Donor with a History of Fraud" The $2.25M award for ICE recruitment vehicles seemed to go around normal contracting procedures. Read Jason Paladino's latest scoop for Zeteo:
"Hold on, is it an accident or did you attack [the Nasser hospital] deliberately? You're telling me two different things at the same time."
"Danny, Oct. 7th doesn't justify killing paramedics and then mass-grave burying them with their ambulances. That is a war crime." Watch my full heated interview with former Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon on Gaza and more. Preview below. zeteo.com/p/danny-ayal...
Watching Loomer harass & demonize individual Muslim government employees simply for being Muslims while the Democrats & 'liberal media' say nothing is a reminder of how mainstreamed & normalized anti-Muslim bigotry is in the US, across the spectrum. Imagine if these were Jewish or Black employees.
Imagine if a top ally of President Biden had spent days on end, online, talking about exposing the ‘Zionist infiltrators inside the US government’ - how do you think the DC political & media establishments would have reacted? But it’s Muslims, & it’s Trump, so it’s all fine. 🤷🏽♂️
"Why Did Pakistan Award 'Israel's Favorite US General' a Prestigious Medal?" Bestowing a medal on the very American general who has been so intimately involved in Israel’s holocaust of Gaza is beyond absurd, writes Fatima Bhutto for Zeteo:
The antiwar president wants to change the Department of Defense’s name to the Department of War. 🤷🏽♂️
"The Rohingya, Gaza, and Two Genocides the World Refuses to End" As I watch Gaza, I can't help but think about what's been inflicted on the Rohingya in Myanmar and the role Israel has played in it, writes Burmese activist Maung Zarni for Zeteo:

A wave of authoritarianism is reshaping the world. Donald Trump isn’t leading it—he’s learning from it. See how he’s borrowing from his peers, such as Orban, Putin, Netanyahu, and Modi, in Zeteo’s new breakdown of the Global Authoritarian Playbook. Watch the full video: zeteo.com/p/the-global...
If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
PHOTOS: National Guard troops on patrol in D.C. for President Trump's crime crackdown on the national capital began carrying weapons tonight.
President Trump has embraced an array of far-right views and talking points in ways that have delighted many right-wing activists who have long supported those ideas.
This guy is the vice president, a venture capitalist, and a Yale Law grad. And completely ignorant about the basics of World War 2. Sheesh.
"The Rule of Law in the US Just Took Its Last Breath" With the raid on Bolton's home, and the new investigations against top Democrats, we should be prepared for a new two-tiered system of laws. Rules for everyone else - but not for Trump. Another must-read for Zeteo from @kimwehle.bsky.social
Every week, we at Zeteo compile a day by day list of Trump’s authoritarian excesses, abuses, law-breaking, fascism. He wants to flood the zone and numb us; we won’t let him. Read/share/subscribe:
The President expresses his intention to deploy the military to occupy Chicago.
Trump is about to put me in jail for no reason. But I’m still proud that I wrote in Dwight Eisenhower instead of voting for Kamala Harris
6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.
FWIW, "yours for the restoration of the Republic" was a common salutation American fascists gave to each other in the 1950s and 1960s. This is from a 1952 letter by Ohio white supremacist terrorist Peter Xavier. The rest of the rhetoric here might be familiar too.
This will break you
“It’s not clear what law Bolton has broken, other than criticizing the president.” Donald Trump’s FBI raided the home of hawkish John Bolton, his former adviser. Which Trump critic could be the next victim of MAGA’s political retribution? @franifio.bsky.social breaks it down. zeteo.com/subscribe
“It is a famine that asks ‘but what did you do?’ A famine that will and must haunt us all,” said UN aid chief Tom Fletcher. Read @premthakker.bsky.social's latest on the UN-backed report declaring famine in Gaza as Israel's genocidal campaign continues: zeteo.com/p/famine-gaz...
Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.
The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’ But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have. We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza. Shameful.
They get away with it not just because of a failing media but because Democrats are silent.
Once again, republicans are allowed to talk shit about entire parts of our country and get away with it. This is the president’s son. Replace this with any prominent Democrat and it would be nonstop coverage. It’s more than clear now this is a choice.
"Zohran is bigger than Zohran, he's about the interest of people over the elite...over the interest of lobbies... he is a crack in the matrix." Anees to me on 'We're Not Kidding,' on the power of the Zohran Mamdani candidacy for mayor of NYC. Full show: zeteo.com/p/i-dont-giv...
Middle East Eye has assembled statements from experts across #intLaw & #genocide studies, all in agreement that what is happening in #Gaza is genocide. I am one of those experts, along with @vukusiciva.bsky.social, @dirkmoses.bsky.social, @nimersultany.bsky.social & others youtu.be/LhT5DsSE8l4?...

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
"Sometimes these celebrities that seem like they're these big people are very small. Because the measure of a person isn't celebrity...it's what you stand for. What are you willing to do for your fellow human?" Anees on the silence of DJ Khaled on Gaza, on my podcast: zeteo.com/p/i-dont-giv...
"Why Did Meta’s AI Policy Let Chatbots Have ‘Sensual’ Conversations With Kids?" Forget the AI apocalypse: chatbots are already wreaking havoc, writes @jacobsilverman.com for Zeteo. But it’s not too late for Congress to try and bring tech companies to heel. Read/share/subscribe:

1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this? 2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS
"Little Amna Went to Get Water. An Israeli Drone Killed Her" Zeteo's newest contributor and Pulitzer Prize winner, Mosab Abu Toha, speaks to Amna al-Mufti's father about the murder of his 11-year-old daughter in Gaza - caught on video for all the world to see. zeteo.com/p/little-amn...
