Quote of the Day

Things that need to be said . . .

Harris must acknowledge the genocide.

It’s not a “humanitarian disaster,” it’s a genocide. It’s not “food insecurity,” people are being starved to death.

If Democrats want to win, coming clean about Gaza will be the price for the votes they need.
