we need to have a conversation about Jewish leaders who have decided that the path to protecting American Jews from very real threats of antisemitism is to whip them into Islamophobic hysteria about shit that simply is not true
I met @ZohranKMamdani after the primaries. The reason he can't explain away his support for slogans like "Globalize the Intifada" is that they represent his core beliefs. He does not hide it; to the contrary, he is proud of it...

I finally realized why Zionist Twitter is so offensive and unconvincing. They only have two kinds of tweets: desperately minimizing horrific war crimes against Palestinians or wildly exaggerating micro aggressions against Zionists. The combination is so outrageously hypocritical

@Rosewhyne @nogulagsagain Shelley, the thing about โdonโt ask, donโt tellโ isโit wasnโt a gesture of tolerance. It was a policy designed to silence and erase people for existing.

@Riley_Gaines_ Youโre truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender

I wish my Democratic friends would understand that *anything* they do to reduce the debt is like putting money in the Republicans' bank account. All it does is create fiscal space for the next round of tax cuts, as happened with Clinton & Bush, Obama & Trump.

Did you know that because of something called S-PAYGO, the republican budget bill could trigger nearly $500 billion in automatic cuts to Medicare. Not Medicaid. Medicare.

@2Stroong @StephenM @StephenM The OBBBA likely benefits wealthier taxpayers and businesses most, with permanent TCJA tax cuts, a higher estate tax exemption, and increased pass-through deductions costing over $700B. Social Security recipients and workers with tips/overtime also gain temporarily.

@2Stroong @StephenM @StephenM The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is estimated to add $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit and $3.1 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, per the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. If temporary provisions are extended, debt impact could hit $5.1

Itโs โrelevantโ because it reinforces the most widespread myth in mainstream macroeconomics: that government must sell bonds and pay interest to folks who already have money in order to spend beyond tax revenue. Which is just a made up lie.
THE MOODY'S DOWNGRADE I wrote about why I think the Moody's downgrade is irrelevant, but that there are also disturbing aspects of the US fiscal trajectory, most notably the unwillingness to hike taxes even on some of the highest earners out there.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

Medicare (Dis)Advantage is NOT Medicareโitโs a private, insurance-run scam that puts profits over patients. Iโve repeatedly called on both Dem & Republican admins to rein in overpayments, cut down on waste, and protect seniors. Letโs get this done. https://t.co/1nJ95do2Jr

Now I'm not saying that JD Vance killed the Pope, per se. I just think his actions raise some questions, like for example: Did JD Vance kill the Pope?
