The campus environment created by the 2011 Dear Colleague letter has generated hundreds of lawsuits from accused students. In @NYUJLPP, @samk_harris & I analyze the resulting developmentsin federal courts:

This week we saw the first El-Sayed ad that mentioned healthcare but not Medicare for All, and the first Rogers ad taking aim at El-Sayed’s “more money in your pocket/Medicare for All” pledge

In fairness, he also said Oct. 7 was “horrific,” but he should’ve just refused to let himself be pressured into saying anything about Israel-Gaza at all.
He says he wants to keep politics out of his music. It would’ve been a strong statement to do that.

Threats of political violence and rhetoric invoking the gallows have no place in our political discourse. As Democrats, we must hold ourselves to the same standard we expect from everyone else. Political violence and dehumanizing rhetoric should be rejected regardless of who says it or which side of the political spectrum they come from. There must be accountability when those standards are violated.
Prominent Abdul El-Sayed supporter and former DNC member Liano Sharon, a signatory of the “Michigan Jews for Democracy” letter voicing support for El-Sayed, stated today that Haley Stevens should not face the death penalty because, “I don't support the death penalty, even for neo-Nazis.”
Sharon also said that the statement, “We will see you at the gallows,” “carries a very appropriate sentiment.”
He added, “Reichstag legislators were sentenced to the gallows at Nuremberg for similar legislative support for Nazi atrocities as Stevens gave to Zionist atrocities. Why should our legislators be treated differently if the investigation concludes they committed neo-Nazi atrocities?”
Sharon did not stop at Haley Stevens; he also implicated Michigan Democrats Elissa Slotkin, Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow, and Shri Thanedar.
When I asked him if he thought Vice President Kamala Harris was a "neo-Nazi," he told me, "It is fair to say that her conduct meets the definition of that term."
Harris is campaigning with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan next week.

No such thing as a lukewarm hell buddy. No one who hated you before is going to like you and a whole bunch of people who liked you now hate you.

“It is not my place to tell Israelis how to vote. But as someone working in DC to defend Israel, I believe it is important to spell out consequences: If the coalition returns to power without changing its policies and conduct, defending Israel will become far more difficult.”
The collapse in public support for Israel could trigger a financial and economic war against the Jewish state. The architecture for it is already taking shape.

Six percent cuts for five years running equals 25-30 percent of spending. 12% of spending is interest on the debt, which cannot be cut without creating a financial crisis. So that means the 25-30 percent cut comes from 88% of the budget: a 1/3 cut.
How do we tackle our $40 trillion deficit? With my Six Penny Plan. We make even across-the-board cuts and eliminate six cents from every dollar the federal government spends. After five years, the budget would be balanced.
It can be done. Washington just has to have the willpower to do it.

We should try not to vastly overstate the impact of Israeli actions on Israel’s favorability. The Israel that is increasingly the object of scorn is an effigy, not reality, and its creators are more likely to be found in Tehran, Ankara, and Moscow than in Jerusalem.

FIRE's new survey of college students asked whether 3 right-leaning speakers should be allowed to speak on campus.
A majority (53%) of students nationally would ban all 3. Strikingly, more than three-quarters of Mount Holyoke, Smith & Wellesley students would not allow all 3.

Respectfully, I don’t think any person sitting in a Harris+40 seat should be dictating to Democrats anywhere else on how to run their campaigns—regardless of the issue.

This is where a lot of the "Free Palestine" movement in the United States is at now: attacking a Jewish hospital in Los Angeles and weaving conspiracy theories about Lady Gaga
Why Jews have separate hospitals? No other group has their own hospitals or ambulances, or separate elevators in public spaces. Religion ain't an the answer. Can you imagine if Muslims had their own hospitals in America? CNN and FoxNews would lose their shit.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Catholic hospitals number over 600 in the US. Jewish ones like Cedars-Sinai arose from discrimination against Jewish doctors and patients and serve all. Hatzalah ambulances and Shabbat elevators (open to all) meet religious needs.

Ahmad Tibi to “Meet the Press”: “Together with Eisenkot’s bloc, we will replace the Speaker of the Knesset, endorse the bloc’s candidate, and do more than just endorse in order to replace Netanyahu’s government.”
