We don’t have to live in fear of the NRA’s “well regulated militia.” We need to rise up and end this. We should be taking to the streets and protesting in front of the NRA HQ and its board members homes. We should have shifts of protesters in front of the homes of Republikkkans that take money from the NRA, state legislatures, and the SCOTUS.

Republicans think that the only thing that can fix terrible tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that explode the deficit are more terrible tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that explode the deficit.

Protests in DC, nice job guys, people have to keep making noise.

Reading the names is also important.

Speak them.

Those people existed, had lives, were meant to live and grow and experience a world without occupiers pointing guns in their faces and dropping bombs on their children. They can't because the global powers who could prevent further chaos, failed to do so. There is blood on the hands of the Biden Administration.

Good to see USians aren't completely brainwashed.

BASED WASHINGTON DC ✊🇵🇸

Democrats pick up House seat in special election in NY-03!

I ❤️ NY-03!

Democrats have not won a major election in suburban Nassau County since Biden took the area in 2020. NY-03 is mostly in Nassau County and was famously won by Republican fabulist George Santos in 2022. It was Santos's ouster from the House which led to this special election.

So Democrat Tom Suozzi easily defeated his GOP opponent Mazi Pilip on Tuesday by a margin similar to Biden's win in 2020.

Republicans sought to use immigration against Democrats in this election – and failed.

William Kristol and Andrew Egger observed at The Bulwark:

Republicans pummeled Suozzi on immigration with waves of hyperbolic border-invasion ads. But in his three terms in Congress Suozzi had been, for a Democrat, something of a border hawk. And he had plenty of money to portray himself as that. Indeed, he did so aggressively. When Republicans in Congress torpedoed the border bill, Suozzi attacked them for doing so and lamented that it would not now be able to expel “eighty percent” of asylum seekers and to stop migrants from flooding New York.

Yep, Republicans have been demanding border reform. When a viable bipartisan plan became a possibility in the US Senate, they shot it down on orders from adjudicated sex offender Donald Trump.

So now we have a Republican border crisis which Trump hopes will catapult his demented self back into the White House. But indications from NY-03 are that it probably won't work out for them.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut was one of the senators who worked on the Senate bipartisan immigration reform which Trump sabotaged. Murphy sees the MAGA GOP flip-flop on the border as something which can be used against Republicans nationally.

Sen. Chris Murphy urges Democrats to follow Tom Suozzi and go on the offensive on the border

“Suozzi messaged aggressively on the issue, running ads that highlighted his support for a secure border and legal pathways to citizenship,” Murphy wrote. “He flipped the script on his Republican opponent, successfully painting her as unserious about border security because of her opposition to the bipartisan border bill, and turned what could have been a devastating political liability into an advantage.” Murphy acknowledged his frustration that after months of negotiating the bipartisan border security bill, Republicans in the Senate ultimately knifed it in a matter of days. But he said the GOP’s rejection of the bill provides Democrats with a way to counter GOP talking points on the border.

Back in NY-03, some Republican apologists tried to blame the 7.8% defeat of their candidate on the weather. The official NWS weather station at La Guardia Airport in Queens, next to NY-03, reported a grand total of 3.3 inches [8.38 cm] of snow on Tuesday. And the snow was over by 3 PM. In New York, polls are open until 9 PM. There was plenty of time for Republicans to sweep away the minor amount of snow from their sidewalks and get to their polling places. Don't let the GOP give you a snow job about their loss of a swing district.

Anyway, with the victory of Tom Suozzi, Republicans are one step closer to losing their majority under Speaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson.

So basically, he doesn't see supporting Israel as a misstep. He only sees not saying they cared about Palestinians' lives as a misstep.

And lest you think I'm misrepresenting his views, pay attention to these parts:

"We have left a very damaging impression, based on what has been a wholly inadequate public accounting for how much the president, the administration, the country, values the lives of Palestinians," deputy national security adviser Jon Finer was heard telling community leaders in a recording obtained by CBS News. "We are very well aware that we have misstepped in the course of responding to this crisis."

And

"I think you will clearly hear the president," Murphy said. "My guess is that, based upon what the President said last week, that you're going to hear the president continue to stand up for a campaign that defeats Hamas, but it's done in a way that is much more respectful of civilian life."

There is no way to continue the assault and respect human life. They've been saying not to attack civilians for months...yet when Netanyahu attacks civilians, they give more money and weapons to Israel.

The only thing that might change is that Biden might say, "Sorry for your loss" more often.
