"Mamdani leads among Jewish voters" Read that sentence. Read it again. Read it one more time. And then ask yourself about the horrifically bad media coverage you've been getting on this guy and on this race from the legacy media in recent weeks. https://t.co/SyJd2TiF6V

Mamdani leads among Jewish voters, though there are clear dividing lines by age and denomination. Mamdani wins majority support among reform/non-denominational/secular/non-practicing Jews & Jews under age 45. Cuomo wins a plurality of conservative/orthodox Jews and Jews age 45+

Recent polls show that only 15% of Americans support increasing military aid to Netanyahu. Yet, Congress just rubber stamped Trump's plan to send $8.8 billion more. Republicans and Democrats took a constitutional oath to represent the American people, not AIPAC.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

.@SecBlinken I wanted you to see what your lies to Congress led to. Ignore it or hide it like you have been, but history won't forget what you did. You could have stopped the starvation by telling us the truth. You decided to lie about it.

Let’s see: - Blinken says the ceasefire deal is extraordinarily generous & says it’s up to Hamas to accept - Hamas accepts - Israel rejects. Orders Palestinians to leave eastern Rafah & then proceeds to bomb western Rafah - bombing Rafah was the US “redline” - US blames Hamas

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right. I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza. Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson joins the call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, saying that “the killing needs to stop” after the deaths of 25,000 Palestinians, and supports the resolution that the City Council did not vote on today. Johnson: “We need a ceasefire.” @wttw

My father and former Harvard Hillel director, Bernie Steinberg, just wrote an op-ed on "the cynical weaponization of antisemitism by powerful forces who seek to intimidate and ultimately silence legitimate criticism of Israel" https://t.co/QC9r21axT0

Netanyahu blows up three decades of meticulous effort by the Israeli government, associated hasbara operations and AIPAC to blame Palestinians for the lack of a two-state peace:

That it took the Israeli Military massacring 3 of their hostages for people to raise questions about their conduct when the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been excused speaks volumes about the racism that makes this all possible.

Two children miraculously escape Israeli sniper bullets, trembling in fear within the medical center. Amidst the heartbreaking reality, it's crucial to remember that 10,000 Palestinian children have lost their lives, and 16,000 more have been wounded in the ongoing genocide.

Scores of Palestinian journalists have been documenting the horrors suffered in Gaza, and many of them have lost their lives doing so. Now @CNN’s @clarissaward, @scottycnn and @BrentSwailsCNN managed to enter without Israeli military escort. Watch their extraordinary report.

I am a proud daughter of the @UAW. It was an honor to stand alongside President @ShawnFainUAW and other union leaders calling for a ceasefire now. I wish my dad was alive to see his union demand peace and justice for all.
