Antisemitism is increasing

Trump meets with fellow antisemites.

Antisemitism on Twitter is up.

I have studied and written about antisemitism my entire life. I've interviewed scores of Holocaust survivors in my own family and as a journalist. This is the worst climate for Jews since the 1930s.

Officials are warning that a surge in hate speech and disinformation about Jews on Twitter is uniting and popularizing some of the same extremists who have helped push people to engage in violent protests including the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress. https://t.co/xsVgaEdrUo

NEW: I spoke to Jewish Texans, experts and historians about skyrocketing antisemitism/hate rhetoric, rising fascism and old white supremacist conspiracy theories that continue to stoke violence– against both Jews and non-Jews. @TexasTribune⁩ https://t.co/gwbA5DiIMY

As Trump hosts some of the most vile and notorious anti semites at Mar-a-Lago, it’s worth recalling that for decades he had espoused support for “the racehorse theory,” a theory about genetic superiority that was the basis for aspects of Naziism. https://t.co/aohvnulxiw

In case you missed it In 2021: “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” the president said to his chief of staff John Kelly in Paris in 2018, according to @nytimes and ex-@WSJ reporter @MichaelCBender's book about the Trump Administration. pic.twitter.com/jS7jOz6AOC

Covers: Car Wash

This is one of the worst covers I have ever heard! “Car Wash” by Rose Royce was the title song for the 1976 film.

The Brady Bunch destroy ‘Car Wash’ wearing Wizard of Oz costumes in 1977.

So appalling, it’s brilliant.

Misleading tweet on the railroad vote

Many in the media will say the Senate voted something down when in reality it’s basically Senate Republicans who voted it down,

It’s more accurate to say Republicans voted it down since 41 of 42 no votes were from them. https://t.co/5Ye1Rliddl

Sight and Sound’s 2022 list of best films

This was released today. It comes out every 10 years. I think the greatest film ever is Rules of the Game (1939) directed by Jean Renoir. I would put Citizen Kane (1941) second.

Raise the debt ceiling now

A bad sign: Even as Republicans openly threaten debt limit extortion next year, pessimism is mounting that Dems will disable it during the lame duck. Aides tell me they're skeptical Manchin and Sinema will do this in reconcilation, because it's "partisan."https://t.co/sghf1OAOFm

Opinion by Catherine Rampell | The best time to raise (or, better yet, eliminate) the federal debt ceiling was yesterday. The second-best time: today. https://t.co/wZ9zCuknt9

Republicans are now openly vowing to weaponize the debt limit next year. The danger is clear: A MAGA House can threaten default as leverage against investigations of Trump.

Dems can act to stop this in the lame duck. An expert lays out how in this piece:https://t.co/22NRonkmUo

GOP leaders, congressional aides and business groups are preparing for a potential "nightmare scenario" next year if House Republicans take back the majority: a debt limit showdown reminiscent of the near-crisis in 2011. https://t.co/ShKgJAgm6B

COVID death rates are higher for Republicans

Excess death during COVID 19 pandemic by political party affiliation Clear difference emerged after introduction of vaccines. Probably due to FoxNews and anti-vaccine/anti-science attitude of Republican party establishment. pic.twitter.com/Yiu5jS5MBK

Thanks for explaining why more conservatives died of covid.

And while this trend is changing, your disinformation contributed to their deaths. https://t.co/j8xwJ2UcWx

Yale study finds excess deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic were impacted by political affiliation and that the partisan gap in death rates increased significantly after vaccines were introduced.

I can tell you this advice killed 100s of 1000s of Americans

Noem set a global record for COVID deaths Per Capita
Desantis says I'm great Florida hits 6th worse for COVID deaths

Republican states became 20/22 worst states for COVID deaths Per Capita AFTER THE VACCINE

The correlation between death rates and Republican voting is really high. It would take some work to tell how much these are both just effects of how old these counties are, and how much political views can explain COVID disparities. https://t.co/3H2MMMBnU8

Republican beliefs are killing Republicans at higher rates than Democrats.

Check out the partisan mortality gap for COVID deaths.
