How is this not treason?

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

FUN FACT: During WW2, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazi's. One one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 🇺🇦

@RepRaskin @NOAA_OMAO @usphscc Thank you.

Spain’s courage.

[GBC @GBC_Press]

🚨 BREAKING:

​Spain responded harshly to Israel's statements:

"We are not defaming you, Israel, we are describing you: You are a genocidal and criminal regime."

"You will all be held accountable before the International Criminal Court."

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Zohran Mamdani doubles down of arresting Benjamin Netanyahu what a leader 🙏👌

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Lamine Yamal's 3-year-old brother, Keyne Yamal, took to the field to celebrate Spain's FIFA World Cup victory.

Keyne has become a social media star for his joyful celebrations during matches, capturing the hearts of Spain's supporters and fans around the world.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Todd Blanche doesn’t know who wrote the document giving the Trump family immunity to cheat on their taxes.

And yet... he signed it.

[Barb McKenna @DesertButtercup]

Netanyahu’s an animal.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: When it comes to Netanyahu, we’re speaking about someone who is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant. He’s the subject of this warrant for alleged crimes against humanity, for war crimes, and he’s the architect of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

These are not facts of my assessment; they are facts of public record.

If someone is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant for these kinds of crimes, that’s something I believe should be honored. I have also said we will follow our local laws.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇪🇸🇦🇷 Spanish fans are taking over Times Square, waving their flags and celebrating the World Cup win while chanting, "Free, Free Palestine."

Spain has been one of the strongest pro-Palestine voices in Europe in recent years.

Maine Senator @SenAngusKing: There is a serious threat to our elections in 2026 — and to democracy itself — but it’s not the Chinese, Venezuela, noncitizens voting or mail-in ballots. It’s Donald J. Trump. https://t.co/8kS23oERXX

[Barb McKenna @DesertButtercup]

Netanyahu’s a rabid animal backed in to a corner. He needs to be removed from power by elections ASAP.

[mustafa yazıcı @myzccc]

Netanyahu ispanya'yı
açıkça tehdit ediyor:

"Bunun bedelini ödemek üzeresiniz. İspanya İsrail’e karşı durduktan hemen sonra yaşanan elektrik kesintilerini ve gizemli tren kazalarını asla unutmayın.”

Ne diyor bu?
İspanya içinde terör saldırıları yapacaklarını söylüyor.
Dünya bunu böyle not etmeli.

Ve İspanya'nın cevabı:
"Sizi karalamıyoruz, tanımlıyoruz: Siz soykırımcı ve suçlu bir rejimsiniz. Hepiniz Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi'nin önüne çıkacaksınız."

A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.

He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.

Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.

It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.

Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.

InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.

A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

MAGA Supreme Court justices accept from interested business people trips to luxury resorts, flights on private jets and cruises on luxury yachts—with total impunity. If anyone in Congress did this, they'd be in jail.

I've introduced legislation with @RepAOC and @SenatorLujan to set a $50 gift limit for justices and finally close this appalling ethics loophole.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

The President’s firing of federal election officials should concern every American.

He is trying to undermine the next election—but his efforts will fail.

Accountability is coming.

Ro Khanna: “They’re just lying. I guess the people who lied about the genocide are going to lie about the detainment of Americans. Israel needs to be treated like an occupying power that is engaged in apartheid in the West Bank and has committed a genocide. Those are just the facts on the ground”
