"Muslim Man in Utah Stabbed. The Suspect Said He 'Intends to Kill Muslims'"

The horrific attack has barely been covered by the media, and most U.S. politicians remain silent.

From Zeteo:

Hey, look, Mamdani speaks for Americans while his many critics… do not.

“Farage Whinges About a 'Media Pile-On'. The Truth Is, the Media Made Farage”

At every stage of his political career, the Reform UK leader has been helped on his way by the media machine he now affects to despise. And he is still manipulating them with ease.

"There is a country in the Middle East, whose name begins with an 'I' that has not just nuclear power, but nuclear weapons... Israel. It doesn't allow inspectors in."

Nice to be back on @msnownews.bsky.social, with
@velshi.com, discussing Israel's actual nukes vs Iran's imaginary ones.

"The Treatment of Iran’s World Cup Team Exposed the West's and FIFA's Double Standards"

Iran’s football captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks Fatima Bhutto for Zeteo?

"Lindsey Graham, Proud War Hawk, Has Died. Here He Is in His Own Words"

The South Carolina senator and staunch Trump ally, who passed away suddenly on Saturday night, wanted to 'level' Gaza and invade Cuba, joked about killing Ted Cruz, and salivated over bombing Iran.

My piece for Zeteo today:

The Arrested Tate Brothers Are Tied to the Trumps: Why Won’t Dems Exploit This?

The manosphere influencers, arrested in Florida on serious UK charges, including rape, treat the first family and top Republicans as friends. Plus: it looks like Maine has a successor to Platner.

"Russiagate Was Real, Trump Admits"

Donald Trump and his allies hyped up a speech about alleged Chinese interference in U.S. elections, only to unwittingly admit Russian interference, as Prem Thakker reports for Zeteo.

Trump's Speech Was 'Gibberish,' 'Drivel,' 'Horseshit'

For Zeteo, watch me, @swin24.bsky.social and Congressman @raskin.house.gov react to the president's typically dishonest and deranged speech to the nation tonight, on alleged Chinese interference in our elections. Lots of debunking in here:

Trump's Big Speech Was 'Gibberish,' 'Drivel,' 'Horseshit'

Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸 !

We continue the struggle for a ‘more perfect union.’

And I continue to agree with James Baldwin: “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

"if we are now accepting 'raw intelligence' from the FBI, I would remind you that the F.B.I. in the Epstein files claims to have lots of unverified intelligence about Donald Trump abusing children"

Starmer is rushing legislation through parliament that experts say threatens free speech, reports Paul Holden for Zeteo UK.

Fourteen Years in Prison for Quoting Hamas? New Law Could Criminalise Journalists

Starmer is rushing legislation through parliament that experts say threatens free speech, public interest journalism and international humanitarian aid.

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo.

So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

"First Draft: Elon Musk, Islamophobe"

Me, on the world's richest man just proudly copping to his anti-Muslim bigotry – and why it's so dangerous. Plus: a (rare) defeat for Donald Trump in his war on journalists.

“Why is Elon Musk boosting an anti-immigrant film loved by the far right?”

My latest for the Guardian on how the richest man in the world is in love with ‘Citizen Vigilante,’ which promotes the murder not just of migrant criminals but their families too.

Does anyone seriously think this kind of amplification is harmless?

"A 3-Day-Old Baby. An IT Student. A Missing Father. Three Stories That Show the True Cost of Trump’s War on Iran"

While there is much talk of who ‘won’ and who ‘lost,’ it’s always the people who did not choose war who pay the ultimate price. Zeteo reports:

Arizona Democratic Congresswoman @repyassansari.bsky.social tells me on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' that she has switched her position and is now willing to call Gaza a 'genocide' after reading the latest UN report. She also said she would no longer take Israel lobby money:

The Restore Britain MP's description of the Dunblane massacre as 'one murder' has been widely and rightly condemned. But at Zeteo UK, we call out his many other offensive and ridiculous claims.

Last week, there were two alleged plots to attack Muslim mosques and events uncovered by police in the UK. So why did they not grab national headlines or force government ministers into action?
