It’s not just fringe extremists glorifying the nakba. Bezalel Smotrich, who oversees the West Bank, wrote, “Zionism was built based on population exchange” including “the exit of masses of Arabs” from Israel. “This historic pattern seems to require culmination.” This is his goal.

When I was in the West Bank settlers attacked olive pickers, saying they were Hamas agents. IDF soldiers used the same pretext to stop the harvest. One soldier told me picking olives was a “political act.” A thread on things I saw while reporting for The New Yorker:

Just left the House Chamber after Speaker Sexton forced a vote to silence me for the remainder of the legislative day (for speaking “off topic”) and ordered the public cleared out of the gallery.
This is the authoritarianism we are fighting against.

I co-sponsored the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act because it’s just plain wrong that Supreme Court justices serve lifetime terms with no ethics restrictions or restrictions on gifts they receive. We need to put guardrails in place.

Last week, 28 Democratic senators wrote GM, Stellantis (Chrysler) and Ford urging them to recognize battery workers under the UAW's national labor contracts.
GM's Ultium just responded, claiming that wouldn't be "legal" or "practical."
