Palestinian journalists are sharing images of what they say is an unexploded US-made bomb used in Israel's attack on Nasser hospital overnight that killed 6 people. Israel says it was targeting a senior Hamas figure based in the Gaza hospital. The pictures appear to show a GBU-39/B bomb manufactured by Boeing.

Barack Obama is the only two term President in US history to be at war every day of his Presidency. He is a fraud, a con man, and an enemy of the working class.
As a former commander-in-chief, I’ve had the honor of meeting with our nation’s servicemembers and military spouses over the years. Hearing their stories and seeing their courage fundamentally changes who you are, and reminds you what living your values actually looks like. Thank you to all the veterans who have bravely served our country.

Israel just bombed the surgical ward of Nasser Hospital, a medical center it bombed and shelled numerous times during its war in Gaza
It murdered a doctor and his medical team
⚡️🚨 Israeli shelling targets the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing six people and wounding more than 20, according to local reports. Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said 5 were recovered and more than 20 injured evacuated, and reports later put the death toll at six, with extensive damage to the complex.

I’m devastated to hear the Dr. Rizk Abou Sheira has been killed in the bombing of Nasser Medical Complex.
Dr. Rizk was in the American Doctor documentary operating and serving his people. He lost his life doing that, he lost his life because he was doing that.

Nearly a decade in and not a single legislative accomplishment to her name. Just her endorsing people who committed genocide while supporting war against Russia

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

Well, you can’t facilitate a genocide and not expect people to be angry when you decide to show your disgusting face in public. He doesn’t deserve a single moment of peace for the rest of his life.

The IDF is announcing they murdered several Palestinian kids because the Palestinian kids were in an “area” where stones had previously been thrown from.

This is a real tweet from the House Democrats who, six hours later, BLOCKED THIS THEMSELVES.

AOC is what *everyone* becomes who enters the Democratic Party machine: a weapon against genuine class struggle and anti-war politics.
This is her throwing support behind AIPAC-owned Hakeem Jeffries. And she'll feed you a word salad to divert attention from her opportunism.
“More than a million people signed a petition asking @HouseDemocrats to not elect @RepJeffries speaker— will that carry weight?”
@AOC reiterates that nobody is running against Jeffries, telling @JulianAndreone “it’s not a race right now” so 40+ Dems opposing is unlikely

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

The cold dead eyes, the bizarre hand gestures, the halting, unnatural cadence -- and the unbelievable arrogance of a gambler who knows the game is rigged in his favor.
If Hakeem Jeffries is made Speaker - the Dems will lose all of their momentum. What a stupid move.
Jeffries: We have a vote next Wednesday. I'm going to work hard to talk to every single member...
Reporter: That sounds like you don't have it nailed down. Is that right?
Jeffries: You think I don't have the vote nailed down?
Reporter: I'm asking you. You're the vote counter.
Jeffries: I guess we'll find out next Wednesday.

About 30 days before elections, Ohio Republicans moved $725 mil to fund a 90-day gas tax holiday.
~200 Ohioans have now complained to the AG's office that gas stations are reaping that money, not drivers

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
