Normalize asking “leftists” who concern troll about defund as a “slogan” if they actually support the underlying policy, and watch the pro-surveillance, carceral boosters squirm.

I'm looking for that clip of a Republican (Rubio?) saying at the start of this year that Israel can pay for its own iron dome so the US doesn't have to fund it. It was then echoed by J street and AOC. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

People talking about what “went wrong” in the defund discourse as though they weren’t active participants in using pundit speak to undermine the policy on “viability” grounds while doing nothing to actually explain it. Just a lot of “people don’t get it so we should drop it” as…Mostrar mais

Tucker, sadly, will win over many disenchanted voters with this. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders and donors have spent two weeks blasting Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed, and before that, they did everything to destroy Mamdani. Oh, they also support Israel's genocide. Awesome.

44% of Talarico voters said his criticism of Israel was important to them and swayed their vote for him. Over 1 in 5 voters (22%) said reducing support for Israel was a top-three factor in their vote, while just 2% said the same for increasing or maintaining support for Israel.

NEW POLL: 76% of voters in Texas' March Democratic primary say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and 80% support ending weapons funding to Israel. James Talarico was boosted by a 4:1 margin over Rep. Crockett by his comments criticizing Israel. More findings 🔽
