Israel has spent $1 billion to influence US politics and is directly paying for ads promoting MAGA. Why isn’t MSNOW’s “foreign influence” sleuth covering it?

Axon surveillance is coming to LA.
The vote to veto the Axon contract needed 10 yes votes to pass. Only 9 voted yes.
@MRodCD7 said she would support the veto but seemed to change her mind after Eunisses called her out for her bad faith attacks.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. We will no longer stay silent about the actions of the Department of Justice. What we have been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for basic information. They have shielded Alex's killers. This is not justice.

It started with an unannounced meeting at Trump Tower in 2016. It ended, according to a new book, with a $2 billion Gulf slush fund and Russian and Dutch spies watching through Jared Kushner’s iPhone. Kushner denies it. The story behind the story.

Today we remember the 11 worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh who were murdered by a gun-wielding neo-Nazi. Eight years later, we keep the memories of the victims alive and express solidarity with the synagogue’s three congregations: New Light, Dor Hadash and Tree of Life. May the memories of those who perished in this savage antisemitic attack stay strong as we work toward a more just and peaceful world for all.

The media deserve the blame here. Competent reporters would point out that there are virtually no transgender athletes in college sports EVERY time Republicans yelled about. Their job is to provide information; it's not complicated.
In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender.
14% think between it's between 6 and 25%.
Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero

⭕️ ICE arrested Phillip James, a U.S. citizen, in January and has held him in detention ever since, according to an Associated Press investigation.
James, who has paranoid schizophrenia, said that he was born in Jamaica, but a Florida birth certificate and a 1988 paternity case show that he was born in Orange County, Florida. He was also issued a U.S. passport. An immigration judge ordered James’ deportation to Jamaica in April, though Jamaica said that it has no record of his being born there.
His lawyers have petitioned federal judge Damon Leichty for his release.
Since January, ICE has detained and sought to deport a man to Jamaica. But an AP investigation has found documents that support claims by his lawyers that he's a U.S. citizen. apnews.com/article/ice-immig…

"I never donated any money to the Trump campaign expecting anything in return," Trevor Milton told CBS News. "The pardon was out of the blue and not expected and was not tied to anything."
Prosecutors said Milton should owe $660.8 million to victims of his fraud. He received a pardon from President Trump two weeks later.
