It is a fact that treating Israelis as deserving of life and liberty, but not Palestinians, because of their respective ethnicities is the literal definition of racism.

Unacceptable. People are starving and the president does not care. The cruelty of this Administration is beyond unconscionable.

Donald Trump simply does not care that Americans can’t afford to put food on the table, pay rent, or go to the doctor.

Today is the 37th day of the Republican Shutdown. 37 days of Trump inflicting “maximum pain” on the American people. 37 days of missed paychecks, Republicans refusing to negotiate, and bullying from the President. Democrats will continue to hold the line to protect health care.

We are in the longest government shutdown in American history because Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress insist on hiking your health care costs.

I am appalled that the Israeli government plans to demolish Umm Al-Kheir in the West Bank. Palestinians have called this land home for generations. Any effort to expel them to expand Israeli settlements is a blatant violation of international law. haaretz.com/west-bank/2025-1…

As someone who grew up counting every last SNAP dollar, this is intentionally cruel. Trump has the money to provide full SNAP benefits during the Republican shutdown—and he's choosing to let families struggle. Hungry children deserve full bellies. Not crumbs.

This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry." How sick do you have to be to appeal that order? Our President straight up wants kids to starve.

Republicans could work with us to keep health care premiums from spiking and end this shutdown today.

Must be nice to be the richest man in the world & get thousands of hardworking people fired from the govt in the name of “efficiency” & then come back to that same govt for giant contracts.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

A federal judge in Chicago on Thursday issued a sweeping injunction that puts more permanent restrictions on the use of force by immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz,” saying top government officials lied in their testimony. trib.al/P0M0esR

The Constitution protects the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. Today's court ruling makes clear the Trump Administration must respect these fundamental American freedoms. Illinois follows the law, and Greg Bovino and his federal agents must do the same.

A federal judge dismissed a criminal conspiracy case against Boeing over two crashes of its 737 Max jetliner that killed 346 people. The gov. has a confession FROM BOEING admitting to all the elements of the conspiracy charge against it. Dismissing this case is outrageous.

Today, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to use all of the funding at its disposal to fully fund SNAP benefits this month. Not $0, not $12, not half, but 100%. I say to President Trump: obey this court order NOW. Do not allow 16 million children to go hungry.

Trump, after multiple lawsuits, is still refusing to pay out full SNAP benefits to the 42 million Americans who rely on this assistance to stay fed. It sounds like a complicated situation, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. Here’s a quick explainer. ⬇️

Musk, who spent $270 million to get Trump elected, is now in line to become a trillionaire. Meanwhile, 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans understand we're living in a rigged economy. Together, we can and must change that.

A BBC editor, Raffi Berg, is suing Owen Jones for causing him "fear, anxiety, humiliation, upset and distress”. Hard to imagine Berg has suffered as much fear, anxiety and distress as the people of Gaza, who have endured a two-year genocide by Israel that 13 of Berg's colleagues accuse him of downplaying. Berg appears to be upset that Jones reported these BBC whistleblowers as saying he played “a key role in a wider BBC culture of systematic Israeli propaganda". Maybe Berg intends to argue in court that they are all lying. The BBC editor, who is supposed to be "impartial" on matters relating to Israel-Palestine, proudly displays on a wall at home a framed letter from Benjamin Netanyahu and a photo of himself with the UK's former Israeli ambassador. When Jones' story broke, Berg's first reaction was to seek legal advice from the former director of UK Lawyers for Israel. Go figure! Given the BBC's utterly craven coverage of Israel during the genocide, I can't wait to see how he makes his case.

It's so misleading for the BBC to associate this scene of devastation with 'two years of war'. The near-complete demolition of Gaza and its agriculture is the result of Israel's genocide, not war.
