    This is an actual text a friend in Texas just received. It is NOT from the Beto campaign. Very slick, Ted Cruz & Texas Republicans.

    Because Congressional Republicans won't check an unfit president, a secret system of checks and balances has emerged to replace our constitutional one. Need any more reasons to vote Democratic this fall?

    this exchange perfectly illustrates the problem with Marco Rubio. He knows Alex Jones is full of shit but he's too afraid to say it to his face

    What you're seeing in the Woodward book is that the Cabinet essentially already activated the 25th Amendment They just didn't tell us.

    It can be confusing to hear over & over that only Palestinians can pass their refugee status onto descendants, and then be confronted with the fact that it can & does happen with many other conflicts & peoples. Ask yourself what else you were told that might not be true.

    Another terrible crime-turned-anti-Semitic-hate-crime in France: "A man on a scooter drove up to the Jewish man and yanked the pendant off his neck from behind. Upon seeing the chain had a star of David pendant, the alleged culprit shouted 'dirty Jew'."

    Overnight, we published a essay calling out the campaign against the press, and asking journalists to fight back. This morning, the president is threatening NBC’s license. You can read the essay here:

    NBC FAKE NEWS, which is under intense scrutiny over their killing the Harvey Weinstein story, is now fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct. I have long criticized NBC and their journalistic standards-worse than even CNN. Look at their license?

    In saner times pressuring the attorney general to quash criminal investigations of political allies might have been considered an impeachable offense. How many GOP elected officials will raise an objection to this?

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

    Simple funeral, maybe. The yahrzeit seems to have gotten out of hand, though.

    Even Jesus, our savior, had a simple Funeral. I'm sorry. I just can't hold back with all this pomp and ceremony. I find it rather disturbing and distasteful.

    "Exposing [the day-to-day reality of settlements] is the central threat to occupation. That's why the settlers do not want us there. And that's also why we will return there again and again, until the occupation ends."

    Some of the work I'm proudest of at involves our partnership with : Over past few years, we've taken hundreds of North American rabbis, rabbinical students & even their congregants to West Bank together. And we're not stopping now!

    We have been stopped by police and military on route 60 along with buses. They have military order to stop folks from going into the South Hebron Hills. They are afraid of people learning about the occupation. They are afraid of folks like us meeting Palestinians

    This is great . But as argued respectfully & persuasively, it’s critical that you also use your moral authority to denounce bigotry from the right as well as from the left, & even when it’s not directed against Jews.

    The esteemed Rabbi Lord Sacks makes clear ’s use of rhetoric is a threat to Britain's Jewish Community. The Labour Party should take the Rabbi’s statement seriously and deal with this situation. Proud to stand firmly w/ the Jewish community in the UK.
