Just to state the obvious: It’s entirely possible to oppose aid to Israel— whether on moral, foreign policy, or financial grounds — without promoting the fiction that such aid, or Israel itself, is responsible for what Americans pay for their groceries.

"Hope built this place...and hope still lives here." This is a beautiful, impactful message and video from @JamesTalarico. He is playing against the hateful tenor of our times, and betting on Texans to reject an onslaught of hundreds of millions of dollars in negative ads, paid for by @ElonMusk, @MAGA Inc. and others on behalf of Ken Paxton.

BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.

This Einstein meme is false but will never die because many sharing it are uninterested in the complicated historical facts but rather in selectively suborning history to serve contemporary political purposes. But for those interested in the facts: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

I don't know anything about Rep. Long, but he is a great American.

One of the greatest moments in Capitol history. When Laura Loomer attempted to disrupt a hearing, Missouri Rep. Bill Long, who is a real auctioneer, began calling a fake auction to drown her out until she was escorted her out. He then yields to laughter.

Very nice piece by @jonathanalter about 9/11. He was always a frequent sight in Secaucus… his appearances along with Brian Williams were always “must see tv” - even if I had to stop what I was doing. One of the many great journalists who hail from Chicago

Good piece on the tragedy and horror of Oct. 7 and the dangers of contextualizing (in this instance, minimizing) its significance from @jonathanalter oldgoats.substack.com/p/octo…

Collins will say in tonight's debate that she didn't vote for Trump and often disagrees with him. But she voted with him 95% of the time. In any school in Maine, a 95 on a test gets you an "A". So whatever she says, Collins gives the president an "A." '.

Look what Zionists have done to these Gazan kids. Actually, they're Yemeni kids starving because Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthis blocked aid to feed them. Over 85k under 5 have died. You don't hear about it because Muslim lives only matter when the US or Israel takes them.

The "Babel" restaurant has reopened in Gaza in recent days. What is surprising is not the luxury and abundance, as usual, but rather what an Arabic TG channel named Al-Minkhal wrote about it. I am copying his words: "I swear, if I were the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would take these videos and show them to the whole world. Anyone who says there's a famine in Gaza, or that Israel is failing to provide sufficient humanitarian aid, or that Israel isn't allowing enough trucks to enter, is lying."

Please listen to this tape. It's as important as looking at the destruction of buildings in Gaza if you want to take part in the debate.

“Dad I’m calling you from the phone of a Jew! I just killed her and her husband. With my own hands I killed 10 Jews!” Chilling conversation from Oct 7th, between a Hamas terrorist from Gaza and his father, who is crying with pride. Never forget this sick evil!

Some numbers tell a dispositive story. 1939: 40 million Arabs in the world. 2026: 450 million Arabs in the world 1939: 17 million Jews in the world. 2026: 16 million Jews in the world 1939: 4 sovereign Arab states 2026: 22 sovereign Arab states 1939: 0 sovereign Jewish states. 2026: 1 sovereign Jewish state Tell me again what the argument is about.
