So not only did a Russian Oligarch connected to Putin pay for Don Jr.s wedding party- they went on a Mongolian honeymoon hunting trip together too. I chose a more traditional family values honeymoon in Hawaii with my wife. (08/26/19)

Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a $72.5 million defamation lawsuit against conservative pundit and CNN contributor Scott Jennings. The filing claims Jennings falsely accused Piker of calling for the lynching of Black Americans by airing an edited video from a 2024 livestream on his show.

I don't believe in monsters and ghouls, but I do believe the ultra-wealthy and big corporations should pay their fair share in taxes so we can invest in our communities.

BREAKING: "I am deeply ashamed of him” RFK Jr.'s sister Kerry Kennedy tears into him for his disgustingly racist remarks about Arabs. And she was just getting started... "There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science, they don't win the Nobel Prize, they don't win the Fields prize, they don't win the Wolf Prize, they don't produce literature," RFK falsely claimed at a rally for Mike Rogers in Michigan. It represented a new low for a man who sold his soul for power inside Trump's administration and it was a blatant attempt to smear Abdul El-Sayed, who is Arab-American. Since they can't contest him on the merits of his policies, right-wingers have been relying entirely on Islamophobic and racist attacks. For the record, Arabs regularly win awards in everything from literature to chemistry. In response to the hateful remarks, Kerry Kennedy posted a quote from her brother on Larry King Now back in 2016 when he said, "The easiest thing for a political leader to do is to appeal to our bigotry and our hatred and xenophobia and prejudice, and point to people who are unlike us and say they're the ones who are damaging our country." Beneath the post was where she really tore into him— "There was a time when I completely agreed with my brother," wrote Kennedy. "Today, I am deeply ashamed of him. Arab and Muslim people alike have made extraordinary contributions to the world across literature, science, mathematics, medicine and countless other fields." "To name a few, Omar M. Yaghi won the Wolf Prize in Chemistry in 2018 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. Ahmed Zewail won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1999, and Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988," she added. "A person's race, religion, ethnicity or socioeconomic background does not determine their intellect, creativity or capacity to contribute to humanity. My thoughts are with all those hurt by my brother's false, cruel and derogatory words," Kennedy concluded. There is one final layer to this scandal. In addition to being jaw-droppingly racist, RFK's remarks are just plain bad strategy. Michigan has a heavy Arab population and he's out there telling these people that they're stupid and useless. Next week, they'll have a chance to pay his entire party back in spades by sending Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate! Please ❤️ and share if you think that RFK Jr. is a disgrace to his family name!

Louisianans know there is no such thing as a permanently red state! Thanks to everyone who came out this morning in New Orleans to support Jamie Davis and Rep. Troy Carter.

"To separate Said’s literary from his political interests is, and always has been, a classically weak liberal position, geared to permit an admiration of his output that is not sullied by his allegedly controversial politics." lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Dolores Huerta was one bravest and most enduring champions of labor rights in U.S. history. Her passing is a somber reminder of the work we have yet to do to deliver on the aspirations she called us to. Sí, se puede.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”
