My statement on the @IntlCrimCourt issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity:

Elon plans to destroy as much of the government as possible because he recognizes it as the only force capable of limiting his labor abuses, environmental destruction, tax dollar plunder and limitless robber baron domination. The weaker the elected government, the stronger the plutocrats. Trump aides are irritated Elon seems to think he’s co-president but in truth I think he believes he is vastly more powerful than Trump.

In Missouri, 58% voted Trump. AND 58% also voted to raise state minimum wage to $15! Whether min wage (won in other red states too), Med4All, or calling for a ceasefire, Dems won’t even run on POPULAR progressive policies that would help them win! Democratic Party is unreformable
Once again, a leading Democrat did not put a minimum wage increase front and center as part of the Democratic Party agenda. On NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday, Hakeem Jeffries mentioned affordable housing but not the minimum wage and not increasing Social Security benefits—frozen for over 50 years.
The Democrats passed a $15 minimum wage bill, spread over 4 or 5 years from the present level of $7.25, but that was in 2019 when Republicans controlled the Senate and they knew it was going to be blocked. Kamala Harris did not put minimum wage front and center. It was a throwaway line that 25 million workers who would get an increase did not believe. -R
To get how Trump, the GOP and underlings like @RogerMarshallMD interact---the best reference I can think of is Khrushchev Remembers. It is his account of the machinations and intrigue surrounding Joseph Stalin. Roger would have been one of Stalin's(Trump's) food tasters. #ksleg
President Trump and the Republican Party is the party of hard working Americans.
When Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their campaign tell us who they are and attack our values - take them at their word.

The US has funded 73% of the military costs associated with the attack on Gaza.
According to an analysis by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, the US government has provided $22.76 billion in military aid to Israel since the conflict began on October 7, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
This funding includes $17.9 billion for direct military assistance and $4.86 billion for Israel assistance operations in the region.

Intentionally blocking aid, targeting humanitarian workers, and now banning UNRWA. All of Gaza is on the brink of famine.
The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war. How much more evidence does the Biden-Harris administration need to stop these war crimes?
Israel passes bill banning UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, despite US warnings the agency is “critical” to Gaza aid supply

Jeremy Scahill is dropping 2000lb truth bombs on MSNBC and knows he won’t be invited back. This is how you do it. In an actual democracy w/an actual free press, this would be standard nightly commentary, not a clip to delete.

I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.
6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.
I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.
I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act.
I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.

“I’ll tell you, (Trump's) running mate (JD Vance), I don't know if that was a value add to his campaign or not, but he's one of four senators, four, that has never cast a vote on a pro-worker bill in his life.”

What kind of fucking brain rot do you have to have to believe that dropping 2000lb bunker busting bombs on children living in tents is necessary to ‘protect’ Israel from a 141-square-mile strip of land, under its own occupation.

I’m a proud product of Topeka public schools. That’s why the support of the Kansas National Education Association means so much to me.
Public education is the foundation of our state, and I remain committed to protecting our children’s educational opportunities. #ksleg

The widespread silence of Western journalists over the biggest mass slaughter of journalists in human history is an absolutely nauseating spectacle.
