Yet the 535 members of the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to push forth legislation that goes against the U.S. constitution.
Republicans claim to be all about freedom and individual rights. They want free speech and colorblind quotas. They want to push for the status quo.
The U.S. House on Thursday passed bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Virginia Foxx (D-NC) that would restrict federal student aid to colleges and universities that participate in certain commercial boycotts of Israel.
The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act passed the House on Sept. 3 by a 237-169 vote and now heads to the Senate.
Under the legislation, colleges and universities would be required to certify that they are not participating in what the bill defines as a “non-expressive commercial boycott of Israel” in order to remain eligible to receive federal student aid.
The bill defines such a boycott as a commercial action, including refusing to conduct business with Israel or terminating business activities, intended to limit commercial relations with Israel or people or entities doing business in Israel or Israeli-controlled institutions, unless the action is based on a valid business reason.
“No student, no professor should be shut out of research, study abroad opportunities, or academic partnerships, or feel unwelcome in the classroom because of where they’re from or what religion they practice. Yet that’s exactly what the boycott-divest-sanction movement seeks to do — targeting one country and one religion: Israel and Judaism,” said Gottheimer. “My bipartisan bill with Congresswoman Foxx is narrow and targeted — it doesn’t touch anyone’s speech, protest, or academic debate. It simply says that if your university takes federal taxpayer dollars, it can’t discriminate against academic partnerships or investments with one country. That’s it. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bipartisan bill.”
The legislation would also direct the U.S. Department of Education to publish a list of institutions that do not provide the required certification.
Colleges and universities receiving funding through International Education Programs under Title VI would be required to refrain from academic boycotts and instead engage in academic exchange reciprocity.
“The antisemitic rot that has corroded college campuses must be eradicated – enough is enough. The safety and security of Jewish students, faculty, and staff should never be threatened under any circumstances. Today, the House sent a clear message: if an institution of higher education chooses to capitulate to the caustic BDS movement, there will be consequences – starting with this bipartisan legislation,” said Foxx.
Gottheimer is a member of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism. He has also supported the Antisemitism Awareness Act, authored the HEAL Act addressing Holocaust education and advocated for federal Nonprofit Security Grant funding for synagogues and other Jewish institutions.
Carla Jeffery, best known for her role as Bree in Disney’s hit Zombies franchise, has died at age 33, her manager confirmed.
“Carla was more than a client; she was family,” Carla Alexander, founder of Los Angeles-based Alexanders Talent Management, said in a statement shared on social media. “Our hearts are with Carla’s family and loved ones during this devastating time.”
Alexander told KTLA that more information would be shared in the coming days.
The Houston native began her career at age 12 with a role in Phat Girlz (2006), starring Mo’Nique. She later appeared in Disney Channel shows including Good Luck Charlie, Shake It Up! and Best Friends Whenever.
Bree was one of the central characters in Disney’s Zombies franchise, serving as a loyal friend to main character Addison (Meg Donnelly). Known for her spark and humor, she became a fan favorite across the film series and its animated spinoff.
Her cause of death was not disclosed.
“She loved what she did. She was a great person,” Alexander told KTLA on Wednesday.
The Jazz community mourns the loss of Cassandra Wilson.
Another passing of an iconic legend.
Cassandra Wilson, the two-time Grammy Award-winning jazz singer, songwriter and producer has died. She was 70.
Dubbed America’s best singer by Time magazine in 2001, Wilson was best known for her genre-bending voice, which expanded the boundaries of traditional blues-based jazz and worked effortlessly across folk, pop, R&B, country and beyond. At the heart of all her work was her idiosyncratic contralto, a soulful sound distinctly tied to her roots.
As Jon Batiste put it in a eulogy on Wednesday, Wilson sounded like the South.
She died in her native Jackson, Mississippi, on Tuesday morning, the Hinds County Coroner Jeramiah Howard confirmed.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cassandra Wilson, the Grammy Award-winning and legendary jazz artist. Cassandra Wilson transitioned peacefully at home, surrounded by family, close friends, and her manager,” said a statement from her manager to jazz radio station WBGO.
From Jackson to the world
Born and raised in Jackson to musician Herman B. Fowlkes and teacher Mary Fowlkes, Wilson showed an early love of music listening to Motown, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. At 6, she started piano lessons. She played clarinet in marching bands. She performed at coffeehouses and in cover bands while studying at Millsaps College and Jackson State University.
In the early ‘80s, she mentored under jazz greats in New Orleans before moving to New York City and joining Steve Coleman’s M-Base Collective — eventually becoming its main vocalist.
Her instantly recognizable voice earned her four Grammy nominations and two wins for best jazz vocal album. Those were in 1997 for “New Moon Daughter” and 2009 for “Loverly.”
In 2015, it was Wilson who gave a special concert at the famed Apollo Theater to commemorate the 100th birthday of blues singer Billie Holiday, the legendary American jazz vocalist who died in New York City at age 44. That same year, Wilson released her last album, “Coming Forth by Day,” an homage to Holiday.
In 2022, Wilson was named a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, one of the highest honors awarded to jazz musicians in the United States.
Tributes pour in
“She had an unmistakable vocal tone, phrasing and her approach of weaving folkloric, R&B and diasporic music together with experimental and popular genres had a major impact on me,” Batiste said in his tribute to Wilson on Instagram.
“Her Mississippi heritage was always present in everything no matter how expansive her artistry evolved,” he wrote in the caption of a clip showing them together on Brazilian TV in 2009. “She was one of the first people to take me on tour around the world, the great Cassandra Wilson.”
Jackson Mayor John Horhn said the city “has lost an extraordinary native daughter, and the world has lost a singular musical voice.”
“Cassandra Wilson carried the sound, spirit and history of Mississippi with her wherever her music reached,” said the mayor’s statement, shared with WJTV. “Her work had rare depth of character and a profound understanding of how music moves people, tells stories and connects generations.”
Writer and feminist icon Gloria Steinem has passed away.
Yearly wrap up.
Famed journalist and social activist Gloria Steinem has passed away.
Steinem, the celebrated author and activist who became one of the most visible symbols and potent voices of the U.S. women’s movement and a fierce advocate for feminist causes throughout her life, has died. She was 92.
With her trademark streaked hair parted down the middle and large aviator glasses, Steinem, a co-founder of Ms. Magazine, was a hugely recognizable presence wherever she went. And she went everywhere: Much of her life as an advocate was spent on the road, speaking at college campuses and community centers, at rallies and marches.
She died Wednesday at her home in New York City, according to her and her foundation’s social media pages.
“Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard,” the posts said. “Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.”
Steinem enjoyed writing and spending time in the community in recent years, the posts said. She also hosted talking circles for hundreds of people in her home. She died just before a planned memoir was to be released this fall.
“You can’t do it on the phone or on the web,” she told The Associated Press in a 2015 interview. “You have to be there with all five senses. It should be obvious that people can’t empathize with each other unless we’re in the same room.”
Steinem changed her career path after a start as a journalist
She began her career as a journalist, notably one who reported, in 1963, on degrading conditions in Hugh Hefner’s Playboy empire, an undercover assignment she came to later regret. She credits a meeting six years later, where women spoke out boldly in favor of abortion rights, with changing her career path.
“That speak-out was the beginning of activism for me,” Steinem, who had undergone a secret illegal abortion herself at age 22, told the AP in an email in 2022, reflecting on the reversal of Roe v Wade. “Either our control over our own bodies is equal, regardless of sex or race, or we’re not living in a democracy.”
Though she soon became a known activist, those who watched Steinem denounce discrimination for so many years likely never suspected that she’d had to overcome a deep fear of public speaking. She would have simply stuck to writing, she said, if only editors at the time had been willing to let her write about the women’s movement.
But they weren’t interested, she told the AP in 2015. “So I ended up going out and speaking, which was my nightmare,” she said. “I mean, I was terrified. But I’m grateful, even though I still get scared even now.”
Steinem’s visibility endured throughout her life
Time hardly slowed Steinem down; well into her 80s she was traveling the globe and speaking out on issues of importance to her. These included everything from genital mutilation to Korean reconciliation, but it was equality for women that took precedence. “Being a feminist means that you see the world as whole instead of half,” she once said. “It shouldn’t need a name, and one day it won’t.”
As the years went on, Steinem’s visibility endured. At 83, she sat in the front row of her first fashion show, guest of designer Prabal Gurung. A few days after her 85th birthday, she was leading a women’s “talking circle” at an off-Broadway play celebrating her life, where one by one, women in the audience — many fighting tears — rose to thank her and tell their own stories of discrimination. In 2020, her life was the subject of a feature film, “The Glorias, A Life on The Road,” based on her 2015 memoir and starring Julianne Moore.
And at 91, she collaborated on a picture book with Liberian peace activist and Nobel laureate Leymah Gbowee aimed at inspiring young people to change the world. “Rise, Girl, Rise: Our Sister-Friend Journey. Together for All” was published in February 2026.
The constant visibility came with a price; even into her older years, Steinem expressed frustration that despite her accomplishments, she was often described as beautiful or glamorous (A 1992 Vanity Fair profile even noted her “spectacular racehorse legs.”) It was a label she said unfairly detracted from her message.
“Nobody ever called me beautiful until I was publicly a feminist, and that was in my mid-30s,” she told AP in a 2011 interview. “It was clear that label was being assigned to me. The most hurtful part is that you work very hard, and people say it’s because of your looks.”
Steinem dealt with hostility from many directions
Of course, Steinem also had to deal with hostility. Sometimes it came from surprising places. Appearing on Larry King’s talk show on CNN in 1990, she was visibly stunned when a female caller greeted her cheerfully, then told her to “rot in hell” because she had ruined “the beautiful American family.”
But by then, she noted, at least people were taking feminists seriously. That wasn’t the case in 1972 when she co-founded Ms. Magazine and many commentators — especially male — dismissed it as ridiculous, predicting an early demise. (The magazine continues to this day, published by the Feminist Majority Foundation.)
Among Steinem’s detractors was President Richard Nixon, who was caught on an Oval Office tape ridiculing both her and the “Ms.” title. The ridicule was mutual: In a 1972 National Press Club speech, Steinem called Nixon “the most sexually insecure chief of state since Napoleon.”
It was just one example of Steinem’s trademark wit. Before she married at 66, she often explained her singlehood by saying “I can’t mate in captivity.” Laughter, she wrote, was “the only free emotion — the only one that can’t be compelled.”
An Ohio man commits suicide after he became a subject of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Thanks to President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, the U.S. Supreme Court, Republican and some Democratic lawmakers made America not so great.
A man from Springfield, Ohio committed suicide after he got ankle monitored by ICE cost him his opportunities.
The 20-year-old Wright State student took his own life on Interstate 70 out of anguish over a required ICE ankle monitor, according to local community advocates.
Pierre Damas Bel was a new student at Wright State University. He was fitted with an ankle monitor in July.
Pastor Carl Ruby of Central Christian Church wrote on social media that Bel threw himself in front of a semi “after being teased by fellow students at Wright State about his ankle monitor.”
“I wish President Trump could hear the mom’s wails. The family wants people to know that this was a suicide and they want people to know that President Trump, (Stephen) Miller, and Markwayne Mullin’s inhumane immigration policies made this happen,” Ruby wrote.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Springfield Post, troopers were called at 8:45 a.m. Monday, Aug. 31, to mile marker 66 of I-70 westbound. OSHP found that Bel had parked his 2006 Toyota Avalon on the right shoulder before getting out of the car and walking into the westbound lanes, according to a release.
He was struck by a 2001 Kenworth tractor-trailer tanker combination and pronounced dead at the scene.
On July 30, Bel posted a 20-photo Instagram carousel highlighting his awards, diploma, plans to study neuroscience at Wright State University, soccer team, and the electronic monitor around his ankle.
“I came to this country to pursue my education. I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone,” he captioned the post. “Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience. I came here to study, to build my future and to live a better [life,] not to be treated like a criminal. So now, how am I supposed to play college sports with a GPS monitor on my leg?”
Bel was a varsity soccer player for Springfield City School District, where he graduated in May. He was on the National Honor Society and a member of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.
Bel posted outfit photos of his first day of classes at Wright State on Aug. 24.
In his Instagram bio, Bel wrote he was studying both physiology and neuroscience in preparation for medical school.
The semi truck driver called 911, telling the dispatcher a man “got out of his car and jumped right out in front of my semi.” The driver said the man was “under my truck.”
“He jumped right out in front of me. Oh my God; I killed him,” the driver said.
Multiple other people called 911, including a driver who was on the opposite side of the highway. He said he saw a man fling open the door to his car before jumping in front of the semi.
Hundreds of local Haitians have been outfitted with ankle monitors either at appointments at ICE’s Blue Ash office near Cincinnati or after being detained and released, according to advocates. Many have complained of pain, swelling, blisters or the monitors interfering with their ability to work.
At the Haitian Community Help and Support Center Monday, Aug. 31, numerous people shared with volunteers that the monitors had negatively affected their lives. Many said they felt embarrassed at work, and one man told this newspaper despite his promotion to a management position at work, he feels his co-workers do not respect his authority and question whether he did something wrong, due to the ankle monitor.
Bel had a highlight reel titled “Ice” on his Instagram page, where he posted six different letters coworkers, a captain from the JROTC and teachers wrote to an immigration judge in support of his character and potential.
“It is my sincere hope that Mr. Bel has the opportunity to see his plans come to fruition, much as all young men and women his age should have the opportunity to do,” the teacher wrote. “I have no doubt that given the opportunity, he will only continue to deepen and broaden not only in his personal growth, but also in his dedication to the city, state and country that he has chosen to make his home.”
Bel was one of dozens of Springfield Haitians who had been fitted with ankle monitors or detained by ICE after their temporary protected status officially expired in late July.
DHS did not return a request for comment in time for publication.

The Martin County Court has handed the 50 year old professional golfer Tiger Woods his sentence. This stems from this year's accident in which the celebrity crashed his Land Rover. He refused to do a blood alcohol test and was arrested. He spent two days in county lock up.
He tried to pull strings with Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Donald J. Trump.
Woods is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump, Jr.
Trump, Jr. Was none too pleased that Tiger got into that accident. He thought about his five children and Vanessa. But they are on amicable terms, not good terms.
Woods pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge and his driver’s license was suspended for five years Wednesday following a March rollover crash in Florida, where he initially was accused of driving under the influence.
Woods, still one of golf’s most influential figures and as recognizable as any athlete in the world, has had a remarkable fall since winning the 2019 Masters for his 15th major. The first person of Black heritage to win the Masters in 1997, his career has been derailed by multiple back and knee surgeries, car crashes and dependence on pain medication.
He was arrested in March after his SUV clipped a truck and rolled over on its side on a beachside residential road near his home on Jupiter Island.
A sheriff’s report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment. He did a Breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but refused to take a urine test.
He pleaded not guilty to the original DUI charge.
Courtroom gallery is mostly empty as Tiger Woods changes plea
Before the hearing in Florida’s Martin County on Wednesday, Woods, 50, sat at the defense table looking back at the mostly empty courtroom gallery. He said little as he agreed to the reduced charge and left the courthouse without addressing reporters.
He had arrived with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law. She sat behind him during the proceedings.
“Tiger is not absolved of accountability and he surrendered his license for the next five years,” Mark Steinberg, his longtime manager at Excel Sports told the AP. “He is continuing his treatment and prioritizing all aspects of his health.”
Prosecutor says Tiger Woods has a tolerance to pain medicine
The prosecutor in the case said two toxicologists found there was insufficient proof of his impairment and determined Woods had built up a “pharmacological” tolerance after years of using pain pills.
Thomas Bakkedahl, a state attorney, defended his decision to accept the plea, saying, “I did what I think is right.”
Prosecutors obtained the golfer’s pharmacy records that showed he had a lawful prescription, Bakkedahl said.
The deputy who arrested Woods after the crash found two white pills in his pocket that had markings identifying them as hydrocodone, according to the arrest report. Hydrocodone is an opioid that is prescribed for pain, but it can be addictive.
Woods told the deputy he takes a few prescription medications, according to the report, including “Vicodin” — a brand name painkiller that contains hydrocodone.
He has had numerous surgeries on his legs and back over the last two decades — some to treat cartilage and ligament damage, a ruptured tendon, arthritis, and damaged discs in his back.
What a no-contest plea means
At Wednesday’s hearing, Woods also pleaded no contest to refusing to submit to testing after the crash and was fined $1,500, according to court documents. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but means the accused will offer no defense. The plea is treated as a conviction in the criminal justice system.
Andrew Buda, a defense lawyer in Tampa who’s not involved in the case, said a positive drug result from a urine test would not have been strong evidence against Woods because prescription medications can stay in the body for extended periods.
“A reduced plea to reckless driving is a plausible and unremarkable outcome — not evidence of special treatment,” said Buda, a former prosecutor. “A defendant with a good attorney who took the same steps — disclosure, mitigation, treatment — could reasonably expect a similar outcome under the same facts.”
Woods’ attorney has not responded to a message seeking comment.
Yes, Tiger can still drive a golf cart
Judge Darren Steele warned Woods that his driver’s license suspension didn’t include exceptions. “If you were to drive for any reason at all, you would immediately go back to jail,” the judge told Woods.
The prosecutor said he was confident that Woods would be spotted if he doesn’t heed the message.
“Of all the people in the world who should not get behind the wheel of a car, it’s the gentleman who is one of the most recognizable faces on the planet,” Bakkedahl said.
But there’s one vehicle Woods still can drive, at least in Florida — a golf cart.
That’s because Florida law says as long you are at least 18, you can operate a golf cart without a license. And that applies to anyone, Bakkedahl said in an email, whether you’re on a golf course or public property.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump head to the court.
Video shows the aftermath of the crash
Body camera footage shows Woods taking out his phone after the crash and telling a deputy, “I was just talking to the president.”
Woods can be heard saying, “Thank you so much,” as he hangs up and the deputy approaches. It is not clear if Woods was referring to President Donald J. Trump.
The footage also shows the handcuffed Woods hiccupping, yawning and repeatedly appearing to nod off during the 15-minute ride.
Neither Woods nor the person in the other vehicle were injured in the crash, according to officials. Woods told a deputy that he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck.
In Washington, Trump told reporters the resolution of the case was fair.
“I told him that a long time, ’Why don’t you get somebody to drive you?’ So he’s going to have somebody drive him from now on,” the president said Wednesday. “And, you know, he’s just a very special guy. I’m glad that was resolved.”
Tiger Woods has been involved in other crashes
Woods has been involved in four crashes over the years. He took a leave from the golf tour after the 2009 crash and again after the latest crash and has yet to return to tournament play.
He left the United States to seek treatment at an inpatient treatment facility, according to court records.
Woods made his first public appearance since returning from treatment on June 23 when he introduced the PGA Tour’s plans to revamp its schedule for 2028. Woods remained as chair of the tour’s Future Competition Committee after his arrest.

President Donald J. Trump, Department of Defense (War) Pete Hegseth and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are talking the "World War III" option.
The 80 year old curmudgeon is considering pushing the button.
This week, the U.S. launched a series of attacks on Iran.
The Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll is out after 18 months. He is angry at the Hegseth and the direction he is pushing the Army in. No reason was given for the departure of Driscoll, who is a friend of Vice President JD Vance, but tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been widely reported. It marks the latest in a series of shakeups of the military leadership, with the Army especially seeing major upheaval.
“Secretary Driscoll has been highly effective in advancing President Trump’s agenda to Make America Strong Again at the Department of the Army by providing outstanding leadership during historic military operations, restoring an emphasis on readiness and lethality, assisting with negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and more,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement.
“The United States Army is more powerful than ever thanks to his work alongside the Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of War,” she added.
A U.S. Army official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Driscoll spoke with Trump on the current state of the Army and submitted his resignation. The official did not provide additional details. The Pentagon referred questions to the Army. Driscoll’s resignation was reported earlier Monday by The Wall Street Journal.
Exit follows other Army departures, rollback of drone program
Driscoll’s departure follows the ouster of one of his allies from the Army as well as the rollback of a drone program he had championed. Hegseth had suddenly ousted the service’s top uniformed leader, Gen. Randy George, in April, while the Army’s commander in Europe and Africa, Gen. Christopher Donahue, unexpectedly stepped down in June.
Gen. Christopher LaNeve, who has made a meteoric rise under Hegseth, took George’s place as the Army’s acting chief of staff. Under LaNeve, the service is pulling the plug on a drone modernization program. An Army unit based in Europe was building its own drones before LaNeve directed it to end its efforts and return to being a traditional infantry battalion, officials said in August.
Driscoll was a George ally and lamented his departure, along with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. He told Congress in April that he and his family drove to George’s house following his resignation “and we all gave him a hug.”
“That being said, the civilian leadership, the design of our system, is that they get to pick the leaders that they want,” Driscoll added.
Republicans and Democrats respond to departure news with praise for Driscoll
Rep. Steve Womack, an Arkansas Republican who had served in the Army National Guard, said on X that Driscoll is “a transformative leader who brought common sense and discipline to the Department of the Army.”
“I had the pleasure of working with him closely, and appreciated how engaged he was from mentoring cadets at West Point to leading the Army at the Pentagon,” Womack wrote. “The Army is better equipped and prepared to tackle emerging threats because of his leadership that strengthened the force while putting our Soldiers first.”
Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat and former Army Ranger, told reporters that he worked well with Driscoll despite their policy differences.
“It was actually nice, I will say, having somebody who was smart, that knew the policy, that wanted to do the work, that had a background in these issues,” Crow said, adding that “it’s unfortunate that somebody like that can’t last in this administration.”
Even dumb people know how stupid Trump is.
Crow, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and co-chairs the House Army Caucus, said the “Pentagon right now is, in some cases, rudderless,” with so many senior leaders gone. “So, I’m gravely concerned about it,” he said.
Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that Driscoll “worked to transform the Army for the battlefield of the future, and he engaged with Congress candidly and consistently.”
“Secretary Hegseth is cultivating a culture where dissent is punished and competence is secondary to personal allegiance,” said Reed, a former Army officer, while noting that “hundreds of thousands of soldiers are deployed around the world, many in combat zones.”
Driscoll was an unlikely negotiator in Ukraine-Russia war
Driscoll is an Iraq war veteran, tech investor and former adviser to Vance, whom Driscoll met at Yale Law School. When nominating Driscoll in 2024, Trump called him “a disruptor and change agent.”
As Army secretary, Driscoll was tapped for the unusual role of key negotiator to try to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He was also a major force behind trying to cut the red tape for military contractors to quickly develop more drones and counter-drone capabilities as warfare rapidly changes around the world.
The Senate confirmed him in February 2025, voting 66-28, following an Armed Services Committee hearing that was largely unconfrontational and focused on how the Army could modernize its systems, improve recruiting and beef up the military industrial base.
Driscoll noted that his father and grandfather served in the Army, and he vowed to be a secretary focused on the needs of soldiers. According to the Army, Driscoll served as an armor officer from August 2007 to March 2011, deploying to Iraq from October 2009 to July 2010.
He also ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for a North Carolina congressional seat in 2020, getting about 8% of the vote in a crowded field of candidates.
His departure comes after Hegseth ousted several other generals and admirals, including the head of the Navy.
The Pentagon abruptly announced in April that Navy Secretary John Phelan was leaving the job, becoming the first head of a military service to depart during Trump’s second term.
Age ain't nothing but a number. Progressives want fighters. Ed Markey is a fighter.
The moderates are not winning all their races. Looks like his presidential and senatorial hopes were crushed again. Massachusetts voters despite frustrations with their two senators, they are satisfied with the work they're doing.
Mind you, the frustrations are that senators are too damn old, too willing to stay in their lane and protect the status quo.
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) fends off a primary challenger from the middle. He easily defeats Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) in a race to determine whether Massachusetts voters had enough of old man Markey.
What cost Moulton his primary win was the anti-trans remarks. Moulton publicly claimed Democrats lost in part due to their stance on transgender issues, stating he didn't want his daughters "getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete". In debates, Markey heavily weaponized these comments, accusing Moulton of "throwing trans kids under the political bus". Despite a late-stage apology from Moulton, the issue firmly consolidated progressive voters and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups behind Markey.
Moulton faced intense scrutiny after it was revealed he only rebuked and returned funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) after the group refused to guarantee an endorsement for his Senate run. This deeply damaged his credibility with younger, progressive anti-war voters in the state.
In the final weeks of the primary saw intense debates over national security, defense spending, and Middle East conflicts—including positions on a potential war with Iran. Markey successfully framed himself as the anti-establishment choice, utilizing high-profile endorsements from progressive icons like Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren to overcome voters' concerns about his age (80).
Markey successfully pointed to Moulton’s more moderate positions to argue that it was Moulton — not the older incumbent — who was out of touch with the state’s voters.
Markey had boasted about his 2022 climate bill and called for an end to the war in Iran to bring down energy costs. He also sharply criticized Moulton for opposing “Medicare for All” — though Moulton called for universal healthcare.
“He has a backwards-looking political agenda,” Markey said.
In heavily Democratic Massachusetts, the primary is considered the most critical election hurdle, and the winner is expected to prevail in the general election in November.
Markey has been a fixture in Massachusetts politics since the 1970s, prompting Moulton to make his “status quo” arguments on the campaign trail and to question Markey’s accomplishments during his lengthy time in office.
In a concession speech, Moulton said he would now support Markey.
“Challenging the establishment and calling for a new generation of leadership isn’t easy. But it is necessary,” Moulton told supporters. “We started conversations that needed to happen.”
“We didn’t achieve our goal tonight, but I am confident others will be inspired to buck the system when they’re told to wait their turn,” he added.
The Senate race was not the only generational challenge for Democrats on Tuesday’s ballot. A similar dynamic played out in the 8th Congressional District, where Patrick Roath hoped to oust longtime incumbent Rep. Stephen Lynch, and in the 1st Congressional District of western Massachusetts, where progressive public school teacher Jeromie Whalen faced against Rep. Richard Neal.
Wagers on whether he gets a gig on Fox, CNN or Newsnation. Seth Moulton gives up a safe seat for a risky gamble. He loses.
Moulton’s comments on transgender children were an issue
During the campaign Markey repeatedly pointed out that Moulton, in 2024, raised eyebrows among some in the party for saying he did not want his daughters playing sports against transgender girls.
Critics said he was echoing President Donald Trump’s talking points against allowing transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.
Moulton later apologized for his remarks, saying it was not his intention to hurt the transgender community and stressing his support for other transgender rights bills.
“If you’re in the trans community or you’re a trans kid feeling the weight of the Trump administration and the Supreme Court, you matter,” Moulton said during an August debate. “You’re valued, and I will always have your back.”
Moulton, who enlisted in the Marines after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and served four tours of duty in Iraq, was first elected to Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District in 2014. He launched a 2020 presidential campaign but dropped it after a few months.
Markey was elected to the Senate in 2013. Before that he represented Massachusetts’ 7th Congressional District from 1976 to 2013.
Markey notably fended off a challenge in 2020 from Rep. Joe Kennedy III, a younger rival from one of the nation’s most famous political families. Markey did so by aligning himself with the liberal wing of the Democratic Party.
Antoine Hilaire, a 76-year-old Democrat who voted for Markey in Brockton on Tuesday, said being older can be a positive because it offers people experience and wisdom.
“If the older one is doing the better job, I don’t know,” he said. “He’s doing a good job. It’s not a big, big, big problem.”
Longtime Democratic House incumbents also face younger challengers
Lynch, 71, has held the 8th District seat in south Boston since 2001. He faced Roath, a 39-year-old lawyer who contended that it is time to end “wait-your-turn” politics. Lynch stressed the value of experience inside Congress.
Lynch has fended off other youth challenges in the past, but Roath’s campaign hoped for a boost of excitement after longtime Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. John Larson was defeated by former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin in August in neighboring Connecticut. Like Roath, Bronin called for the need for generational change while running against an establishment politician.
Meanwhile the 1st District primary in western Massachusetts pitted Neal, 77, against Whalen, 39.
Neal, known as the dean of the New England House delegation, was first elected in 1988. Whalen ran to the left of Neal, calling for Medicare for All and questioning whether Neal has done enough to oppose Trump’s agenda.
Whalen recently was endorsed by Our Revolution, a progressive organization founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
This is 25 years since the September 11th attacks.
This is 30 years since Tupac Shakur was assassinated in Las Vegas.
This is a year since white nationalist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Orem, Utah.
This will be the month of Labor Day.
We are gearing up for the make or break sessions for all political nominees running for office. The U.S. governor's races, the U.S. Senate races, the U.S. House races, the state government races, the mayoral races and local officials races are going to see ramped up advertising.
Michigan and Florida seem to be the staging ground for the junk food media.
Two candidates who were disrgarded as not serious are very serious. They are laser focused on changing the status quo. They are Democratic members but according to the junk food media and the politicians, they are _________________________________________________.
It has come to a point to note that people are loosing their goddamn minds over words.
They aren't upset over real life issues that affect their wallets, the mental health and their lives. It is all about stroking fear, division, clout and gatekeeping. I mean aren't you getting tired of hearing about the border.
If you are so concerned about human beings being a part of the American experience, it spunds like a you problem, not an us problem.
If you are still rehashing decades long troupes about other people who aren't like you, it only exposes you as the real threat to the country.
If you are born between 1997 and 2026, September 11th, 2001 was not even on your minds. It was on your parent's minds. It was shocking to those who saw the four commercial airliners crash. It was a failure of leadership under George W. Bush.
He capitalized on the tragedy to launch war with Afghanistan and Iraq.
Bush led the country into a war and recession.
Barack Obama managed to get us out of a recession, but continued the wars respectively.
He ordered an invasion of Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. At the time, I favored the assassination and believed his impact on the world made the U.S. less safe. Come to 2026, I realized that "the U.S. and its alliance to Israel" led to this.
There is no denying that the genocide in Gaza has sparked intense discussions to why al Qaeda vowed to topple the U.S. and its allies.
Zio reporter Zak Hudak.
Obama support for the Iran Nuclear Deal led to Israel recruiting Donald J. Trump to be the antithesis to a peaceful world. Trump ran on the "whole system is rigged and he alone can fix it." He said that you're mad at these things because Obama left you for his people.
He won and served that choatic term which led to the dismantling of the Iran deal. He allowed Israel to illegally annex Syria, Lebanon and commit war crimes. In his first choatic term, he mishandled a global pandemic, he allowed frustrations with the status quo become unrest (George Floyd and Jan. 6) and led us to a recession. It paved the way for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden promised to "Save the Soul of the Nation." In his only term, he pulled us out a global pandemic but could not tackle inflation. He allowed the U.S. weapons be sent to Ukraine as Russia invaded. It sent food and groceries skyrocketing. Biden pushed crippling sanctions on Russia, made U.S. companies abandon Russia and kicked them out of global unity events like the Olympics. When it came to Israel, Biden gave them a blank check. Since the October 7th attacks, Israel has mounted a campaign to disrupt the Middle East as it plans on conquering land. Biden refusal to hold Israel accountable depressed voters. He was pressured out and Kamala Harris took over. Her unilateral support for Biden's policies ended up collapsing the support in states Biden carried. Trump comes back with revenge.
On Sept. 7, hip-hop will honor Tupac Shakur.
On Sept. 10, the far right will pay tribute to white nationalist Charlie Kirk and his widow Erika. She will likely remark about it along with President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republicans.
The New York ceremony, Pentagon ceremony and the Shanksville ceremony will be held.
Many officials will read the names, say words and declare themselves more American than they were before the attacks.
Now we have many Americans running for office who aren't supportive of the status quo.
Zohran Mamdani is one of the first. His first year as mayor and the junk food media has devoted ⅔ of its coverage to distractions instead of his quiet successes. He will appear at the 9/11 memorial despite several surviving members demanding he doesn't attend.
Bari Poppins.
CBS News has officially crossed the line between journalism and tabloid. Under Bari Weiss, the shift from trustworthiness has declined. The recent controversies are how CBS News uncovered past remarks from Michigan senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed remarking about 9/11. Zak Hudak got the greenlight from Weiss to release this bullshit.
Progressive critics, media watchdogs, and politicians (such as Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ)) fiercely criticized Hudak's framing of a story about Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. The CBS News headline stated that El-Sayed's deleted tweets "invite scrutiny of past remarks". Left-leaning commentators labeled the headline "blatantly racist" and Islamophobic, arguing it unfairly targeted a prominent Arab-American and Muslim politician by twisting decades-old context.
El-Sayed is facing scrutiny over deleted social media posts comparing COVID-19 deaths to 9/11 victims, a story that sparked fierce internal backlash at CBS News with staffers alleging "overt racism."
I mean why do motherfuckers have to be so triggered by words and not actions. El-Sayed was a teenager when that shit happened. He like everyone else felt some type of way.
However, you fuckers want to police opinions. Had the U.S. never aided Israel, maybe September 11th would never had happened.
Let me say this unapologetically. Hasan Piker is a fucking media agitator. He is not running for government. He is entitled to say whatever the fuck comes out of his mouth.
U.S. lawmakers need to take the focus off noise and put their fucking focus on policies.
Remember see BS. I mean CBS.
Later that evening, Status News reported that Weiss "praised the story during the network's daily editorial meeting" and that she "personally directed that the headline be tweaked to specifically mention that El-Sayed had deleted tweets referencing the September 11 terrorist attacks."
Weiss' version of the headline, which was published, "Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's deleted tweets on Sept. 11 attacks invite scrutiny of past remarks," provided context to the substance of the report. Fox News Digital learned the pre-Weiss headline originally read, "For Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, Sept. 11 commemoration invites scrutiny of past remarks."
Duane "Keffe D" Davis thought no one would forget about Tupac Shakur's death. Well 30 years later, finally some closure. This man was found guilty for being an accessory to murder.
The Clark County, Nevada Court has made news in the hip-hop community.
Yearly wrap up.
Duane "Keffe D" Davis was found guilty in the murder and conspiracy to commit murder of the late rapper/actor Tupac Shakur.
We are coming to the 30 year anniversary of the shooting death of Tupac Shakur.
On Sept. 7, 1996, Shakur and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were special attendees for Mike Tyson as he was in a boxing bout. They were heading towards a casino when they were confronted by rivals. Shakur was seen on camera circling around a man serving him a hot plate. The alleged victim and Davis were so upset they sought to seek revenge on him and Knight.
Shakur was shot numerous times and later died at the hospital. To this day, conspiracy theories exist about his death and those who conspired it.
The shooter allegedly the victim. He was Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson.
Anderson was killed months later.
Following a nearly two-week trial, jurors unanimously found Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, guilty of the murder that for nearly 30 years has gripped rap fans, true-crime experts and conspiracy theorists alike.
Clark County prosecutors had argued that Davis was a “shotcaller” for the South Side Compton Crips in Los Angeles and that he sought revenge on Shakur after he attacked Davis’ nephew.
Davis was not accused of pulling the trigger, but under Nevada law, someone who helps another person commit murder can be convicted of the crime. Davis is the only person alive who rode in the same car as the shooter 30 years ago, prosecutors said.
Davis, dressed in all black, stood silently next to his counsel as the verdict was read. He took a seat, hands clasped on the table in front of him, as the jurors were polled one by one, each affirming the guilty verdict.
Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, Tupac’s sister, cried and reached back to a person behind her. Davis’ son covered his face with one hand, The Associated Press reported.
District Judge Carli Kierny ordered Davis, who faces a life sentence, to remain in jail until his Oct. 13 sentencing. Davis indicated he intends to file an appeal.
Unrepentant. Davis vows an appeal to the conviction.
Shakur, who was 25 when he died, was revered as one of the most influential rappers of all time and continues to bring in new generations of listeners.
The prosecution said Monday that the state would dismiss the gang enhancement part of the charge because of witness logistics.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal said in his closing statement that Davis “went hunting” for Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Knight after they were spotted at the MGM Grand Hotel beating up “Baby Lane” Anderson, also known as the “prince” of Compton in California because of his relationship to Davis.
Jurors watched grainy VHS security video and heard multiple former law enforcement officers testify about the fight that broke out a few hours before Shakur and Knight were wounded in a drive-by shooting.
Knight survived his injuries, but Shakur died six days later.
In 2008, Davis entered into an agreement with federal investigators who were looking into the death of Christopher George Latore Wallace, the rapper known as Notorious B.I.G.
Davis believed the deal, called a proffer, gave him immunity, but he was not shielded from future prosecution if he confessed to being involved in Shakur’s murder.
The heir of Tupac Shakur's estate, Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur was in the court weeping as the jury delivered the verdict.
Because of the proffer, Davis described details of Shakur’s killing that only a witness could provide, Bilal said. They included the positions of people inside the car in the drive-by shooting and previous gang fights that culminated in Shakur’s death.
Davis’ 2019 memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” was the final piece of evidence needed to convict him, Bilal said. In the book, Davis writes that he played a role in Shakur’s murder, and its publication prompted a renewed investigation into Shakur’s killing.

Two legends. Both were flawed men but regarded as legends in hip-hop.
“For nearly 18 years, Duane Davis has told the police, television, books, YouTube interviewers, anybody that will listen,” Bilal said in his closing statement. “He has told you he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur. Tell him you hear him. Find him guilty.”
Defense attorney Michael Sanft argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.
During his closing, Sanft repeatedly pointed to a lack of physical evidence that could place his client at the crime scene. Detectives never found records — including receipts, phone logs or photos — that proved Davis was in Las Vegas at the same time as Shakur or that he provided the gun used to kill him.
Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense’s final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview, Sanft argued.
“When you think about Mr. Davis’ statements, they all conflict,” Sanft said in his closing statement. “They conflict with the book, and they conflict with the past. And the only thing that we have is that we can agree on is that Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on Sept. 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, Nevada.”
Shakur’s killing triggered a decadeslong investigation that took Las Vegas investigators from the Strip to Compton, near Los Angeles, where rival gangs were embroiled in a violent war that erupted immediately after Shakur was shot.
Uncooperative witnesses and conflicting statements made it difficult for police to draw a straight line from Las Vegas to Compton, where everyone associated with the shooting lived, officials testified.
Las Vegas detectives traveled to Southern California a dozen times and were continually stymied by unreliable informants and a culture of silence, former law enforcement officers testified.
“I think it made the case more difficult, and I think the 30 years made the case more difficult, as well,” Sanft told reporters last week.
White Democrats are just wolves in sheep's clothing. The big tent doesn't need them.
We can only do our best to not only defeat MAGA but Zionism, Do Nothing Democrats and the status quo.
Like they ain't got anything else to do. They can't draft fucking laws to improve the lives of Americans struggling in President Donald J. Trump's chaotic second term.
We have a fucking war with Iran.
We have a fucking trade war with China, Canada and Mexico.
We are using ill gotten gains from Venezuela.
We are deliberately starving Cuba.
We are aiding Israel in carrying out massacres in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon.
We have seen mother nature kill people in Tibet, Napal and the U.S. state of Arizona.
We have over $40 trillion in accumulated debt.
We have hospitals closing.
We have grocery prices going up.
We have Americans not able to afford homes.
We have people being knocked off their insurance.
We have Flock cameras being misused by law enforcement, data centers which drain electricity and water resources, police not being held accountable for killing unarmed civilians, Black people hanging from trees, deadly diseases in our food, deadly diseases being spread through non vaccinated Americans, Islamophobia, transphobia, etc.
Once Congress returns from their Summer recess, the House Democrats will draft a resolution condemning the Democratic Socialist of America. It is being sponsored by Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Hillary Scholten (D-MI) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ).
These four boneheads will add this to the Republican version of condemning the DSA.
They put forward their own resolution on Monday to condemn the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in response to a GOP effort to force Democrats to vote on a similar resolution put forward by Rep. Jeff Crank (R-CO) last week.
Crank told Fox last week that he wanted to force Democrats to go on the record with his resolution.
“I keep hearing people like Hakeem Jeffries and others in the Congress saying that they oppose the DSA. Let’s see if they’re willing to vote for a resolution that would oppose them,” Crank said. Crank’s resolution, however, included a version of the SAVE Act, President Donald Trump’s controversial voter-ID bill. The amendment offered by the four Democrats removes that part of the resolution, allowing for a more straight-up and down vote on the text condemning the DSA.
“Strike the preamble and insert the following,” began the amendment put out by Gottheimer’s office.
“Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and repressive dictatorships;” began the text, which then listed many historic horrors attributed to socialism.
Gottheimer, a conservative Democrat in a swing district, has become one of the top critics of the DSA, often appearing on Fox News and other outlets to condemn the group and its leaders like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Rep. Scholten grabbed headlines in recent weeks over her fierce criticism of progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, whom she has accused of vehement sexism and slammed for campaigning with Hasan Piker.
Where are the Democrats, the Republicans, KHive, Shannon Watts, Fred Guttenberg, Needra Tanden and the obsessed about Hasan Piker agitators?
Where's the smoke for Bill Maher, Mark Levin, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Ben Shapiro, Jake Lang and Laura Loomer?
I guess if you're a Muslim, an Arab American, an African, a trangender woman, an independent Black woman or a Black man who stands on business, you pretty much own your own.
Laura Loomer, 33 is a disgusting experiment of botched plastic surgery, forgotten mental health issues, lack of self awareness and endless victimhood decided to take her rants on Black women again.
She took joy in Milo Yiannopoulos being deported to the United Kingdom after his arrest for not obtaining permanent residency.
So far, she has called Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Darializa Avila Chevalier, former vice president Kamala Harris, former first lady Michelle Obama, Duchess Meghan of Sussex, Candace Owens, Cori Bush, Supreme Court Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson, Megan Thee Satllion, Cardi B and now Democratic Florida nominee Angie Nixon, "ghetto Black bitches."
Nixon, a Florida state lawmaker who ironically stared down that doofus Gov. Ron DeSantis after a mass shooting in her hometown of Jacksonville won the nomination against establishment backed Alexander Vindman. She was outspent 16 to 1 in campaign fundraising. She became the latest progressive to beat an establishment member.
Her victory is now marred with the same distractions that has infuriated many of her supporters.
Abdul El-Sayed have to distance himself from prominent figures like Hasan Piker after the junk food media continued its relentless mentioning of him when El-Sayed wants to discuss issues facing Michigan.
I’m not a Democrat and I’m not supporting Angie Nixon, but the Republican Party and President Trump owns Laura Loomer and her nonstop vitriol. This hateful, racists, and demeaning rhetoric should not be tolerated. Ever. But they allow it and keep her in the inner circle. Loomer… pic.twitter.com/xjbYww7JRN

Notice how anti-white racism is a part of the Democrat party platform but I can’t call @AngieNixon a ghetto black communist bitch?
What’s up with the double standard?
She said condemning the death of Charlie Kirk comes from the KKK and makes someone a “tool of white… pic.twitter.com/g1VlDBsiM7
@LauraLoomer hates herself so she spews hate toward others. She hates that she is not as accomplished and brilliant as the Black women she tries to disparage.
Graham Platner was forced to quit the race despite running on a populist movement. The alleged Nazi tattoo and sexual abuse allegations drove Democrats to cut his backing. Despite the primary voters telling the establishment it not an issue, the noise forced him out and they put in a candidate like Troy Jackson who once opposed all the things Platner championed. Now Jackson has a change of heart.
Francesca Hong's narrow lost to David Crowley exposed the problems. The progressives fumed at Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for not putting star power. They were more concerned about Thanksgiving remarks than her messages about how Wisconsin can't afford normalcy.
Cori Bush was defeated by Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO). After promising to tear AIPAC's kingdom down, Bush once again faced an onslaught of outside spending, lackluster support from the Congressional Black Caucus and her past remarks about "defund the police." Sanders did not put in the investment. Crockett did it for Bell and it turned out the people voted for his sorry lack of achievement ass.
Loomer is a mentally ill. She eats dog food.
Loomer is not allowed to own firearms under state and federal law. She is likely on some medications to keep her from spazzing out when someone confronts her about the tone of her language.
She is single. No man finds her attractive. She is desperate to find a man who shares her footing as a white Jewish extremist.
She has an alcoholism problem. She has likely a cocaine issue too.
She allegedly gave President Donald J. Trump head service while on Air Force One.
Nixon, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Florida, had some choice words for conservative commentator Laura Loomer on Friday after her racist rant about "ghetto Black bitches."
"You have to understand, stereotypes exist for a reason, and if you are one of these people that doesn't want a stereotype out there, then maybe you should start speaking out if you are a member of the Black community in calling out this behavior," Loomer said in a clip of "Loomer Unleashed" posted Friday on X.
"Call out the entitlement of these, what I like to call them, ghetto Black bitches," the close ally of Trump continued.
She went on to claim that "very destructive policies" and "behavior" had already been "carried out by these women," adding, "I'm just gonna read their names, and I think they all fall in the same category."
Nixon responded on X with a callback to a time Loomer posted a video of herself eating dog food.
"Girl. You ate dog food on camera. In the words of @IAMQUEENLATIFAH, 'Who you calling a bitches?'" Nixon wrote.
Loomer responded to Nixon a few hours later with more racist remarks.
"I called you a ghetto bitch, because you are, Angie, and your record proves it. But you speak Ebonics though, so maybe I need to bark at you and tug your leash and then you'll finally understand," Loomer wrote.
Loomer has previously described herself as a "proud Islamophobe" and said she supports white nationalism.
"Someone asked me, 'Are you pro-white nationalism?' Yes. I'm pro-white nationalism," Loomer said in 2017 on far-right podcast Nationalist Public Radi. "But there's a difference between white nationalism and white supremacy. Right? And a lot of liberals and left-wing globalist Marxist Jews don't understand that."
A 2025 report from The New York Times found that Loomer had played a key role in influencing Trump to fire six members of the National Security Council.
The same report quoted Trump as calling Loomer a "great patriot."
So if a Jew like Loomer can say offensive things about Black women, should Reps. Max Miller (R-OH), Randy Fine (R-FL), Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Republican Jewish Coalition be blamed for the rhetoric?
Can we blame Reps. Hillary Scholten (D-MI), Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for allowing this vile bitch speak ill about Black women?
Where the outrage from Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and John Fetterman (I-PA)? They quick to condemn Piker for rhetoric but not Loomer.
