@jennifersmith The only time you leave tea in, is when you're drinking Chinese tea in a glass with loose leaves. You really have no choice then.

82% of government workers (over 1M people) have lost their rights to collectively bargain following executive orders banning union activity NASA, the patent office, the NOAA, the department of veterans affairs, the department of health and human service and many others.

This follows years of recent collective bargaining wins by unions across both government and private sector during the Biden era.

I don’t know how needs to hear this, but Jews self designate based on where we were expelled in the diaspora (and stream of religious observance), not based on Western socially manufactured concepts of race. That’s why when you ask us, we will say Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, Beta Yisrael, etc.

We predate your race boxes, despite that the West constantly forces us into them. So stop defining Jewish identity on your Western terms and stop telling Jews what “race” we are.

@PDFlynn I wouldn't bet on them keeping anything open at this point.

@AlliFlowers They didn’t even enter the areas of DC where crime is actually more of an issue. It’s all a show. A truly shameful waste of what the Republicans love to call “taxpayer dollars.”

Like Nancy Barnes, Wilkins-Jordan wants more security on the streets. She also says the D.C. police need to be much more visible in the community. But — more than two weeks after the White House declared a "crime emergency"— she says she has yet to see any federal officers or National Guard troops in the neighborhood.

Jeff Timmer: "No one is mocking prayers. We are mocking the fools who consider it a legitimate policy action response to a shooting."

Michael Branda: "Why not replace Pres. Trump's Secret Service protection with thoughts and prayers? After all, if it's good enough for our children, it should be good enough for him."

Where is the endless coverage over his terrible and declining health? His insane behavior? He post deranged rants, acts mentally ill, speaks incoherently. Disappearing from public for a week.

Why isn’t Jake tapper demanding to know who is running the White House while Trump’s in hiding with health declining?

Where are all the op Ed’s calling for Trump to resign?

Trump Must Resign Now
Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, we must.

@AlliFlowers Or MAGA Mike Johnson's home state of Louisiana with an annual average murder rate (13.6 per 100,000) at least twice as high as the U.S. annual average (6.6 per 100,000).

Anti-genocide organizers viewed Reps. Deborah Ross and Valerie Foushee’s anti-AIPAC pledges as evidence of a sea change within the Democratic Party. theintercept.com/2025/08/29/ai

#BernieSanders:

Kennedy Must Resign

#RFKJr, the secretary of health & human services, is endangering the #health of the American people now & into the future. He must resign.

Mr. Kennedy & the rest of the #Trump admin tell us, over & over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump & Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.

@AlliFlowers @dukepaaron That particular course summary DID exist at one point, but has since been removed. It was titled "American Jews and Political Power: Myth or Reality".

@W6KME @JPP They DID vote against their best interests. They might not BELIEVE they did, but they did.

Somebody might BELIEVE they can fly, but the outcome of jumping off a cliff is going to prove otherwise.

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.

@RollingStone @politics-news-RollingStone @samiamsam Let us know when he arrives in Memphis so we can take him seriously.

If trump were in any way serious about using US forces to fight crime in American cities, they'd have been sent to Memphis first.

The fact that he has not sent anyone to take control of the crime capital of the country proves he doesn't care about citizen's safety. Or crime.
