I've been working for nearly a year on a special report for the Robert McNamara Center for Peace & Democracy about some of the best & brightest members of our military industrial community. @theintercept & @QuincyInst have decided to publish it as well: youtube.com/watch?v=TiERu1r4…

I was told today in a coop shareholder's meeting that it would be ILLEGAL for the board to share their meeting minutes or summaries with the shareholders at-large. Does anyone know if that's true? Seems like it can't be.

This is why analysis that paints the "Latino vote" with a broad brush is and has always been bullshit
The Hispanic vote is vastly divided by national origin. Just look at Florida’s 50%+ Hispanic precincts by largest origin: Cuban: 🔴 Moody +7.5 South American: 🔵 Nixon +11.9 Mixed or other Hispanic: 🔵 Nixon +23.0 Puerto Rican: 🔵 Nixon +33.1

The ADL is going to count every individual vote for El Sayed as its own antisemitic incident

Perhaps the funniest outcome of the last several cycles is despite it all, Henry Cuellar has quietly kept his House seat in Texas 28

Democrats did all that but then still have to endure a Hakeem Jeffries speech (and many more to come)

Abdul isn't even in the Senate yet and he's already got Trump bending to his will
President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

The Rogers spokesperson you see starting this press conference is Abby Ronson. She is currently registered as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, according to @DropSiteNews reporting today

If the new 60 Minutes is going to air interviewees dunking on their correspondents then I'm all for it
60 Minutes' Ross Douthat makes a fool out of himself trying to claim the Saudi Lobby is similar in power to the Israel Lobby. "[$33 million] was spent by AIPAC [against me]," Abdul El-Sayed counters. "Can you point to any other spending [like that]?!"

Flavio Bolsonaro is apparently on the run from the law, on his way to the U.S. by way of Milei's Argentina despite an order to not leave Brazil. A spicy gambit because it's likely that in 2 years time the U.S. will not be governed by someone who looks favorably upon his plight.
🚨FLAVIO BOLSONARO SE FUGÓ DE BRASIL🚨 A pesar de que la justicia le prohibió abandonar el país, el golpista hijo de puta se subió a un avión privado y se fue a Estados Unidos, CAGÓN, tuvo miedo de terminar PRESO igual que el padre

Hi Haley American Jew here. Never been to Israel. Are you saying America is not my homeland?
This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days. Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.

The comparison is an apt metaphor but it's also a beautiful gesture of solidarity, comparing your political accomplishments to those of your biggest football rival Argentina, a country now suffering under the incompetence and cruelty of a far right lunatic. Beautiful stuff.
