🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Ambassador, we have always had a relationship of mutual respect despite political differences. The IDF has now clarified it was not a restricted zone and Israeli papers have confirmed this. Deputy Chief of Mission David Brownstein in our embassy did a superb job in getting us out. We are safe because of him. Please thank him. We obviously notified our Embassy and Israel's embassy about the trip given we were in constant touch with David. I hope sir you will work on bringing the extreme settlers who blockaded Americans to justice. Also, please visit Beit Sahour, a Christian majority town. They want to stage the Passion of Christ play but illegal settlers are blocking them from doing so even as they have American investors ready for the project. timesofisrael.com/us-lawmaker-de… jpost.com/israel-news/ar…
Ambassador Mike Huckabee@GovMikeHuckabee

The left-wing activist who set up this stunt says "The embassy is involved." That is NOT TRUE. We did NOT know a member of Congress was coming. We would have said don't go to restricted zone. As FACTS come out, it's not helping the desired narrative. Not "held at gunpoint."

Some folks criticize @RoKhanna for not arranging his trip through the Israeli authorities. If he wanted to see how members of Congress are treated, that might make sense. But that wasn't his aim. And as he says, his experience is nothing compared to what Palestinians face.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day. It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…

Apologies for using social media as, well, social media, but: I've been in contact with lots of people about the upcoming AI-related events in China that was *very* eager to participate in. Unfortunately, I've not been able to secure a visa (and won't qualify for the visa-free option). Very sorry to miss... #WAIC

MIKE JOHNSON: “If we lose the midterms, the Dems will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends.” This is actually the best case I’ve heard for voting Democrat.

In 1999, a Harvard law professor saw that the internet could be built to control us. He said it in three words: "Code is law." @lessig meant that whoever writes the code writes the rules for speech, for privacy, for how we live online. A generation later, it's the operating principle of the entire internet. The brightest minds don't just answer questions. They saw them coming. Now you can ask Lawrence yours. Link below.
