Kristi Noem is addressing some FEMA staff now, she started off by praising the Texas disaster response, saying it was better than under Biden because in Hawaii victims had to trade sexual favors to get FEMA help. (This is not true.) I hope somebody is recording this one

Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.

Harold Meyerson flags that founding father Benjamin Franklin made a persuasive argument for the wealth tax, in a letter to Robert Morris, then the richest man in America and the financier of the revolution. 

His basic argument: Public laws and society made you rich, so the public can decide what to do with the wealth we all collectively built. If you don't like that, he says, then leave society and go live with "the Savages." (Of course, the indigenous people of the time would not have allowed such greed in their societies, either.) 

Happy early 4th!

Drone strikes, water shortages, and blackouts have turned El-Obeid into a trap for hundreds of thousands—including displaced people who fled there hoping for safety. Now the RSF -- the UAE's proxy in Sudan - is poised for a massacre of extraordinary scale. www.dropsitenews.com/p/sudan-war-...

AIPAC worried the many millions they spent to take out @coribush.bsky.social might go up in smoke

Justice Democrats
@justicedems
So it begins.

AIPAC is already spending in #MO01 to boost one of the largest recipients of AIPAC money in American history: Wesley Bell.

And he hasn't even served a full-term in office, that's how bought he is.

All hands on deck to help 
@CoriBush
 win & defeat AIPAC next month.
AdImpact Politics
@AdImpact_Pol
#MOPol: United Democracy Project just placed its first #MO01 TV buy this cycle. So far, the group has reserved $330K, with ads starting tomorrow.

Last cycle, the group spent $9.3M in the district's primary.

The Intercept’s tip line is *still* under the control of an unknown third party.

@halalflow
On Wednesday, I reached out to The Intercept’s Signal tip line. My message was delivered, but got no response back yet. Today 
@DropSiteNews
 can confirm that this “tipline” is still active and soliciting tips

🚨 Months ago, The Intercept lost control of its Signal tip line to an unknown third party, which has been operating it actively. The Intercept recently learned of the breach and posted the innocuous-sounding update below, chalking up a change in the Signal account username to "security best...

It never ceases to be shocking how hostile the pro-Israel crowd is towards people specifically because they are Jewish. Honestly gross.

@LizzySavetsky
I want to publicly apologize to 
@bradlander
 for calling him a kapo. Kapos collaborated with the Nazis in an attempt to save their lives. He is much worse. He is colluding with our worst enemies for political capital.

Incredible.

A liberal coalition is finally forming to push back against both the far right and the far left.

This week, they launched 
@thepromise2026
, a public pledge with 13 sitting Congressmembers and candidates signing on, openly breaking with the DSA wing while refusing to be lumped in with MAGA.

Their commitments:

"We are capitalist, not socialist."
"We want safety, not lawlessness."
"We are responsible, not reckless."
"Government should solve problems, not create them."
"We are mainstream, not extreme."
"We are proud, not ashamed of America."

This is the kind of pro-America, anti-authoritarian coalition American politics desperately needs.

More of this, please.

“I run the protection program, I’ll protect you,” House Speaker Mike Johnson tells a room packed with members of the Epstein Class. To say this on camera reflects way too much sense of impunity.

This is a fair historical point to make. Corporate interests absolutely exploited the poverty in Black districts to fill the funding vacuum created by red lining & other structural efforts to suppress economic growth. But we are in a new era of people-funded campaigns & incumbent CBC members can...
