Van Jones: “If you are a Democrat who believes in opportunity, dignity and democracy for all - but you don't hate rich people, cops, free enterprise, the West, Israel and the United States of America - I'm talking to you!”
Bluesky replies telling John to get lost.
@adgirLMM I'm getting sick of hearing Congress say "it's up to the American people to hold him accountable." No, it's not. He threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. We didn't swear an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. You did. DO YOUR JOBS.

Gallego becomes the latest potential 2028er to reject AIPAC money, via @DashaBurns FIRST IN PLAYBOOK - BACKING AWAY FROM AIPAC: Another high-profile Democrat is distancing himself from AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group funnelling tens of millions of dollars into midterm primaries nationwide (and scoring limited results). Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) tells Playbook's Dasha Burns on this week's episode of "The Conversation" that he "wouldn't take AIPAC money." Doing so, he said, would be akin to "endorsing what's happening right now." He called Israeli settlement in the West Bank and wars in the region "disgusting."

Ty Cobb “Listen to Gary Kasparov, prominent thinker, World Chess Champion, Russian dissident and witness to tyranny, on this-Trump and Hegseth urging the Generals to prepare to go into American cities, Trump's publicly expressed desire to nationalize elections, Bannon confirming ICE will flood the polls in blue states and key precincts, the murders of American citizens, defiance of Court orders, ICE overfunded like no other secret police force in history, Trump's bulging Qatar bank account for Venezuelan oil revenues, huge government purchases of warehouses and land for massive detention centers never before needed despite a rate of deportations on par with Obama, and a Justice Dept that is sharply focused on Trump grievances, rewriting history, revenge and decimating the rule of law??? "THIS IS NOT A DRILL"!”
Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

Pablo Maníquez @PabloReports NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents. Body cams can be turned off.

Charlie Kirk - “Jews have been some of the largest funders of cultural Marxist ideas and supporters of those ideas over the last 30 or 40 years. Stop supporting causes that hate you," he said on his podcast. "Until you cleanse that ideology from the hierarchy in the academic elite of the West, there will not be a safe future. I'm not going to say Israel won't exist, but Israel will be in jeopardy as long as the Western children, children of the West, are being taught, with primarily jewish dollars, subsidizing it, to view everything through oppressor/ oppressed dynamic. Until you shed that ideology, you will not be able to build the case for Israel, because they view Israel as an oppressor."
