@Ooh_Im_Fanceyy@CountryOfTexas1 And one didn’t go make a post claiming she got the foul because of white privilege. Maybe she should own the foul and not act like a victim.
@MarkABlessed@KimKatieUSA Absolutely was justified. You have to look at this from the cop’s perspective knowing only what he did at that moment in time. The guy could have had a second guy or knife. If you start fighting him, he could get your gun. A cop should never willing engage in fighting.
@Jonah7156@KimKatieUSA And risk that the dude has another gun or a knife? Hindsight is 20/20 but the cop in the moment in time didn’t have that information and had to act based on the actions of the criminal who had already proven to be erratic and aggressive.
@SteveRob He isn’t accepting a nomination to fill a vacancy. He is being put on the ballot again for a different position and has essentially filed for candidacy for two different positions in the same election cycle.
@habsexpos@EricEngels That ahould be their decision on the timing of things not an entitled public. Why do people think they should be told details about a someone’s personal life? Respect the family.
.@RoKhanna, the public deserves answers—not carefully worded talking points.
The alleged incident occurred on July 8. You gave an interview to Reuters on July 9. The story was published on July 11, followed by your social media campaign and national TV appearances.
A few straightforward questions:
Why wasn’t this trip publicized in advance? For a politician as media-focused as you, the silence before the trip—and the publicity afterward—deserves an explanation.
You say this was a serious 90-minute detention. Why did you say nothing about it on your own X account for approximately three days, even though you had already given Reuters an interview the next day? What changed between July 9 and July 11?
When reports emerged that you allegedly declined requests to meet with former hostages and hostage families during this trip, you responded, “I have met with Israeli hostages.” That does not answer whether you met with any of them during this visit. Which hostages were you referring to? When and where did those meetings occur? Did you meet with any hostages or hostage families during this trip? If not, why didn’t you answer the actual allegation directly?
You have publicly said you were detained by armed settlers and the IDF. What specific actions by the IDF constituted your detention? Who physically blocked the road? Did Israeli soldiers order you to remain, or otherwise prevent you from leaving? The IDF disputes that account. Will you release the complete, unedited video so the public can see the sequence for itself?
Your delegation reportedly remained at the scene for roughly 90 minutes. How much contemporaneous video and photographic evidence was recorded? Will you release all of it—not selected clips, but the complete record?
Who paid for this trip: your congressional office, your campaign, another organization, or someone else? Will you release the travel and funding disclosures so the public can verify the answer?
Finally, will you release the contemporaneous text messages, emails, photographs and videos generated by your delegation during those 90 minutes? If your account is accurate, full transparency should only strengthen your credibility.
These aren’t partisan questions. They’re the questions any member of Congress should be prepared to answer after making serious public allegations involving a foreign government.
Transparency shouldn’t require this many questions.
@SenFettermanPA You continue to show that you are one of the few decent Democratic politicians out there. You disagree with others, but you are at least gracious and decent. Thank you!
@BTAnalytics2026@AdamKinzinger As if your response or Adam's is anything but classy. He could have just sent his condolences, and you could have left out the "unclassy" part.
Alf-Inge Haaland on speaking to Erling Haaland after Norway’s World Cup elimination to England.
🗣️ “I walked into the dressing room and saw my son sitting there in complete silence, tears streaming down his face. He tried so hard to hide them, but he couldn’t. His heart was shattered. I put my hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eyes and said, ‘Erling, don’t you dare apologise. Don’t carry this pain alone. You gave your country every drop of your heart, every ounce of your strength, and every breath you had.’ Seeing your own son broken like that is one of the hardest things a father can experience.”
”‘People only celebrate the goals and the trophies. They never see the sacrifices, the endless pressure, the sleepless nights, the injuries, the doubts, and the emotional burden of carrying an entire nation’s dreams. Erling wasn’t crying because he lost a football match. He was crying because his dream of making millions of Norwegians proud had slipped through his fingers. Those weren’t tears of weakness they were tears of love, pride and heartbreak.”
“I told him, ‘Lift your head, son. There is no shame in crying after giving absolutely everything. Real warriors cry because they care. Real leaders cry because they feel the pain of letting people down, even when they haven’t. Never let anyone tell you those tears make you weak they prove how much this country means to you.’”
“And to the people already searching for someone to blame… shame on you. Before you criticise these players, remember the joy they gave this nation. Remember how they made children dream again. Don’t destroy them in one night because football can be cruel. Every player in that dressing room is hurting far more than any supporter watching from the stands.”
“As his father, I couldn’t have been prouder tonight if he had scored a hat-trick and lifted the World Cup. I didn’t see a global superstar—I saw my little boy wearing Norway’s shirt, refusing to give up until the very last second. That’s what filled my heart with pride. Medals and trophies fade with time, but courage, sacrifice and love for your country stay with you forever.”
“These tears will never define Erling Haaland. They will shape him. One day, when people look back on his career, they won’t remember him crying—they’ll remember the man who stood back up after the deepest heartbreak and fought even harder. Tonight, Norway lost a football match, but they gained something even greater: a generation inspired by players who gave everything for the badge. Sometimes football breaks your heart… but it’s that heartbreak that creates legends.”
