I’m not defending genocide. I hate Netanyahu supported the protests against him before Oct. 7 happened. Had Hamas not attacked Netanyahu would have been out & the retaliation would not have happened. Hamas knew what it was doing by provoking Netanyahu while he was still in office.
Hamas is hiding behind its civilians. Hamas is making sure that any retaliation against Hamas becomes an attack on civilians. Put the blame where it belongs.
Hamas, it’s munitions and warriors under schools and hospitals. They know that for Israel to attack Hamas it must kill innocent civilians, nonetheless they committed a horrific act on October 7 intending to provoke exactly that response. Hamas is evil.
He’s just a horrible old man rotting from the inside
Funny, but you’re copying Newsom.
Trump to America: Putin wants peace. Putin to America: Trump is my useful idiot.
Kakistocracy at its best
Could this be in any way related to the Wall Street Journal’s actual reporting on the Epstein files? Maybe Rupert Murdoch has tired of trump.
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
So Trump got played, again. Just like every time he met with the world leader during his first term. That man is all hat and no cattle.
Which is why no one goes to Alabama for college except because of football.
I’m wide awake. I don’t support Netanyahu, but no leader would fail to respond when his country is attacked & more than 1000 of it citizens, brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped, etc. The blame lies squarely with Hamas which provoked and is therefore responsible for this reign of terror.
Just like in all his businesses, trump finds people to cook the books for him.
I would rather ask you why you aren’t holding Hamas responsible for the violence which they launched on October 7? Why are you not holding Hamas responsible for the violent response which they deliberately provoked, and for hiding their munitions and warriors under schools and hospitals?
"Tangerine Tyranny" When a lifelong Republican wakes up and turns on the GOP
Please run, James Talarico!
Democrats shouldn't hesitate to "politicize this tragedy" because it is a politicized tragedy. Republican propaganda fueled yet another mass shooter, and at the very center of the lies are Trump's own appointees, including his malicious and amoral Health Secretary.
california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators
NEW: Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.
The only people they consider to be their constituents are the billionaires and large corporations that pay them and fund their campaigns.
I hope that the Democrats are running a “shadow government “somewhere and that they are making list of all these wrongs that need to be rated as soon as Democrats regain control of our government.
Could be interesting, but 450 participants is a pretty small trial.
Because foremost on every Israeli’s mind right now is doing business with the puny little state of Arkansas. Especially since Arkansas ranks near the bottom of all the states in terms of economy, education, healthcare, etc.
Oh wow, that's great news for the Trump administration, which can now confidently release all the Epstein files now that they know for sure that their boss isn't named anywhere in them.
“Both of them.”
That’s the best thing to do to take your mind off everything horrible that’s going on.
One of my favorite bookstores in the DC area, People's Book, revealed the Republican lobbyists who bought bulk orders of GOP Sen. McCormick's dumb new book from the store to goose sales numbers. Then it gave all the profits from the sale to an immigrant charity. www.washingtonian.com/2025/08/01/d...
America first right?
More of this guy, please. (TX Rep. James Talarico)
Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
Great. Now, how about the rest of the criminal Trump lawyers? Bove. Bondi. Habba. Blanche. They are all corrupt and are undermining the law with every move they make.
Trump lost NY & NJ not because those states are blue. Both states in recent years elected GOP governors & mayors. NY & NJ didn’t support Trump because they had known for a long time what a disgusting slimeball he was/is and how he unfit he would be to hold any office.
A sad commentary on conservatives who think someone as despicable as trump deserved to be elected. His tax & business frauds, sexual assaults & sordid behavior were well known before he ran for president. It is pathetic that people voted for him anyway.
Unfortunately, with trump, everything sticks. Tax evasion, business fraud, serial, adultery, sexual assaults, business failures, undermining, the role of law, lying, lying, lying, lying, lying….
How about context? He was making fun of the cop for crying because Trump lost the election. The tweet is five years old. I expect better of you Politico, but perhaps I shouldn’t?
abort.....
Someday Zeldin’s grandchildren will wonder why he was so evil in destroying the planet for them.
Hope y’all are fighting against the redistricting efforts by the Republicans in Texas!
The same Republican Party that impeached Bill Clinton over a consensual sex act with another adult is now protecting Donald Trump for alleged nonconsensual sex acts with underage girls. #WWJD?
Graffiti resistance. Part 1/2
"The Slovenian Sex Worker Who Did Soft-Core Lesbian Porn and Married a Vulgar Rapist for his Money Opera House" seems like a long name.
Why are you still there? People have good. Conscience have unsubscribed to the Washington Post because we don’t want to support Jeff Bezos’ war on democracy.
Nope. They’re just gonna play political games with the American people.
The biggest threat to democracy in the United States, and around the world is Felon 47 and all the Republicans who have enabled him to undermine the rule of law, violate the constitution, appoint unqualified people to judicial and other senior positions, etc.
Miami, appealing? Sure, if you like ground water backing up through your plumbing and homeowners insurance impossible to buy. Dallas is just nonstop, urban sprawl to Oklahoma. Plus, what young families want to move to a state where you have to worry that a pregnancy will cost you your life?
Lots of Republican officials attended ribbon, cuttings for projects funded by Biden’s infrastructure bill. They were happy to try to take credit for something they voted against.
Do a little research on the Druze population and what Syria has been doing to them.
His cradling that football like a baby. Weird.
Because it is a cult.
These people are incompetent, agenda-driven, and totally useless.
Jeez these people are incompetent. It would be amusing if the stakes weren’t so damn high.
It might even be a good time to ask Elon Musk and his teenage hackers to find all those documents for us.
Typical Republican: opposed to everything until it hits their own family or community. And people die because of it.
But apparently, Hamas gets a free pass for the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7, and the continual barrage of missiles. I decried the horrific loss of life in Gaza, but Hamas shares equal, if not greater blame than Netanyahu.
I would support you but for the fact that you align yourself with pro Palestinian extremists. If you protest on behalf of Palestinians, it should be against Hamas. It brutally suppressed protests against it in Gaza, prevented aid from getting through, and willingly sacrificed civilians.
Perhaps fingers making a big L on the forehead.
This is shameful but it does not reflect the massive cuts to basic scientific research. The kind of foundational science that leads to discoveries and treatments. That’s what universities and research institutes do, and they have been hit hard by cuts.
Today, Los Angeles received its first honor of three Michelin Stars. The head chef of Somni, which received three, removed his jacket to reveal a t-shirt which read “immigrants feed America.”
I know, but Trump already said today that he will give Texas whatever help it needs. Maybe Oklahoma didn’t build enough detention centers.
They won’t need to complain because Trump will shower them with federal funds. After all Texas is a red state that voted for him.
What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?
Well, we knew this would happen when Trump tore up the agreement that President Obama negotiated with Iran to stop developing weapons grade uranium. How is it no one learned from the many failures from Felon 46’s first term?
The name of the new fragrance is Stench
There were 31 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of June.
A more appropriate name for this fragrance would be Stench.
2) Hamas has interfered with efforts to deliver aid, and now Gazans protesting Hamas are being severely beaten and disappeared. Blaming only Israel for the death of 100,000 thousands is naïve and wrong.
I don’t disagree but I think you have to blame Hamas equally. They initiated a horrific attack on Israelis, knowing the response it would trigger. Then they deliberately hid all their munitions in civilian buildings and community gathering spaces like hospitals and schools.
I didn’t mean to imply that. I just meant that they are making rulings about public school, which I don’t think they’ve had personal experience with. I could be wrong.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
I wonder how many of the conservative justices even attended public schools. I’m guessing Catholic or private schools. Does anyone know?
And we all know who she’s talking about!
Great, now do Bove, Habba and all the others failing to live up to the oaths they took when sworn into the Bar.
So how do we do that?
Well, that’s two people that trump thinks should be above the laws of their country.
Now Cassidy needs to lead the impeachment of Kennedy.
Democrats can champion younger people running for office. It doesn’t mean every young person running for office deserves to be elected. Mamdani’s views are not necessarily those of many New Yorkers. Its a false dichotomy to say that the only choices are Cuomo or Mamdani.
The intelligence agencies correctly stated that they could not verify WMDs in Iraq. Dick Cheney decided that they must be there and convinced Powell to declare to the UN that that was the reason for the war. Don’t blame the intelligence agencies; blame the politicians who refused to listen to them.
brutal thread
So why wouldn’t this also apply to doctors who may not want to treat MAGA Republicans?
Most of the ice raids have targeted blue states and blue cities. I’m sure Trump will back off raiding farms, restaurants, and hotels in red states. Despicable way to treat the people who do backbreaking and dangerous work for low pay with no health or other benefits.
Not they may - they WILL be scarred for life.
One of the reasons people ado their own research is because of how short doctors appointments are nowadays. I have an appointment soon with a surgeon about a joint replacement. It is a 10 minute appointment. How am I supposed to ask and have all my questions answered in that amount of time?
This is brilliant!!
Best thing to do is just ignore him
Sadly, they say she’s going to be OK
Who is this guy?
And the trump birthday parade not so much!
The mass murders in Gaza are due to the actions of Hamas. Palestinians blame Israel for everything, but their own leaders have sold them down the river for years going back to Yasir Arafat stashing international aid money into private bank account accounts. Free Gazans from Hamas!
I think it’s more than likely that he knew that Trump was too incompetent to make any deal happen
And I’m guessing they’re not there to help the flood victims. They are there to help Abbott terrorize residents of San Antonio on No Kings Day
And our tax dollars are paying for this crap?
Maybe time to end the frivolous prosecution of Rep. McIver. Sounds like the New Jersey elected officials who came to inspect Delaney Hall had a good reason to be there.
Young mothers have reported that at three parks in Los Angeles, ICE agents were separating nannies from the children they care for. What do you think happens to these young children when the people taking care of them are disappeared?
Call your senators, and call the Department of Homeland Security and complain.
I have been asking this question to everyone I know. It’s because so many companies owned by wealthy Republican donors depend on immigrant labor. Trump doesn’t dare to go after those owners.
Call Sen. Cassidy. I hold him personally responsible for supporting Kennedy’s nomination. As a doctor, he should’ve known better. I think his vote for Kennedy is a violation of his Hippocratic Oath. He should demand that Kennedy resign or be impeached.
