I first met Sen. Graham in Iraq nearly two decades ago and ran into him several times over the years. Always a breath of fresh air who never took himself too seriously. RIP

PEN America has proved itself to be a joke since 10/7.

[Bianna Golodryga @biannagolodryga]

PEN America’s president resigned over an article detailing isolation and exclusion many Israeli and Jewish writers feel after Oct 7
“Drawing attention to such suppression would fall within the watchdog group’s mandate. Their motto: “the freedom to write.”

What I learned watching soccer in Argentina is that there are no odds, there is no analysis, there is only smoking cigarettes and suffering.

I am so surprised that the Times photog with Khanna is an anti-Israel activist. Can not believe it.

[Ilya Shapiro @ishapiro]

For shame!

The natural grass surface installed at Gillette Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially been removed.

Back to artificial turf after hosting seven World Cup matches in Foxborough.

There’s too much VAR and the offside rule should be daylight between attacker and defender.

I’m also a big critic of AIPAC. Not only has it been far too timid and ineffective, it spent years lowering the bar for what was considered “pro-Israel” so it could brag about bipartisanship and have pro-Iranian politicians like Barack Obama and John Kerry speak at events.

Tl;dr: Ro Khanna is an antisemitic douche.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

I am very critical of settler violence and think Israel needs to do far more to punish it. But that’s not what this is about.

So what appears to have happened here was an intentional political stunt by someone who has built his entire career on stunts.

@RoKhanna had his Palestinian guides take him into a restricted area that is closed off to civilians without requesting access or coordinating with anyone.

Local security (which Khanna intentionally misrepresents as random settlers) then stopped them. IDF arrived and spent time evaluating the situation. Then Israeli police showed up, determined what had happened, and let them go on their way.

No one was hurt or attacked. No one was threatened. Khanna knew going to a restricted area would get a response and he got exactly what he wanted.

I will note that if a random group goes onto a military restricted area in the U.S., they would also be detained and questioned.

Israel is to blame for letting Khanna plan out this stunt, but that’s exactly what it was. And it was predictably coordinated with the press as he had a NYT photographer with him and waited until they released a story days later to even post about it.

Khanna wants to run for president on this nonsense because he has nothing to offer Americans.
