Every anchor on TV when Bernie Sanders proposed universal health care or anything that helps the average American: How are you going to pay for that?!

Every anchor on TV when Congress passes $95 billion for other countries' wars: Money is not an issue and we must pay for it!!

About to go on NewsNation to talk about Columbia protests. Obviously will have strong point of view on it. Check it out right now.

Israel killed 22 people in Rafah today - 18 of them were children. They also discovered a mass grave of 200 Palestinians in front of a hospital in Khan Younis. I'm sure the US media is covering this more than some chants by randos near a university, right? Same moral outrage?

I assume you mean this for Israel as well as Ukraine. Fetterman can't stop waving the Israeli flag. I've seen him wave it way more than he's ever done with the American flag. Brian Mast went even further, wore his IDF uniform, the military of a foreign government, to US Congress.

Important perspective from Columbia that you’re not seeing in mainstream media. Also, characterizing the great majority of peace protesters as hateful and characterizing the side that wants more war, death and destruction as not hateful is weird.

Jonathan has done a brilliant job of tracking the enormous, secret power The Family has over Washington. And here they are influencing the Ukraine vote as well.

This is the side you’re not seeing on TV. They’re taking a couple of egregious incidents and pretending it stands for all the protesters or the entire campus. In reality, the campus seems relatively united around the peaceful protests.

I think people should start calling the 5.5 million occupied Palestinians 'hostages.' Because that's what they are. They've been Israel's hostages for 57 years now, right in front of our eyes. That's enough. It's time to let the hostages go on both sides.

Now that it's pro-Palestinian protesters who are getting suspended from college campuses and threatened with arrest, I don't hear a peep about cancel culture.

So, will you also be arresting people making the argument that Israel should keep bombing, killing and starving Palestinians to death? That seems incredibly hateful to me. No, right? You'll only arrest people with the position unacceptable to your donors.

Mike Johnson is willing to lose the speakership and Joe Biden is willing to lose the election just to support Israel. But the donors have no effect on policy? 🤣Speaker Johnson is an angel who wouldn't let his largest donor, AIPAC, affect his decision at all! Same with Biden! 🤣

Look at all this money AIPAC spends buying (I mean 'talking to' or pleasantly 'influencing') our politicians: trackaipac.com/us-senate But not one mainstream media reporter has ever thought this might affect the way they vote. Does national media realize how ridiculous they sound?

AIPAC is going to spend $100 million in this election cycle. What did it buy them? $26 billion to Israel from American taxpayers. Best investment ever. Corruption works. Does it look like we live in a democracy?
