Latest on Heidi Levine: broken rib, four broken vertebrae, her finger was nearly cut off, multiple potential stabbing wounds. Surgery first thing in the morning.
🇺🇸🇵🇸 “If they can do this to an American congressman, what can they do to Palestinians?”
Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) was detained for over an hour near Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank after armed settlers carrying American-made M4 rifles surrounded his van. Khanna said the IDF soldiers who arrived knew an American congressman was in the vehicle and still sided with the settlers rather than helping. Khanna’s group was only released after the U.S. Embassy intervened.
During his days in the West Bank, including Hebron, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Turmus Ayya, Khanna says he witnessed a “culture of impunity.”
He visited the school in Al-Mughayyir, where a 14-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed by settler gunfire earlier this year, and met with Palestinian American families who’ve lost children to Israeli military and settler violence, including the family of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen from Florida who was held in Israeli prison for over nine months without trial and returned home starving.
Khanna compared the West Bank to the days of Jim Crow in the United States, and says that Americans need to come to the West Bank and see “the apartheid in the West Bank with their own eyes.”

Zach Lahn won Iowa's Republican governor primary as an outsider. But I've been digging around and found a long history managing campaigns, staffing politicians.
A look at his record. https://t.co/VpjlcusufC
Who's up late?
Gov Kim Reynolds has claimed the Iowa State Patrol needed a large plane for its high-tech equipment.
But I obtained docs showing the ISP had a smaller plane w/advanced tech before gov used pandemic $$ for new Cessna.

The United States committed 90 days of support for each refugee we received—$18 a day for basic needs. The current administration broke that promise, and now 891 refugees in Iowa (445 children) are left with nothing. Iowa is better than that…

@SkinnyKenny_ We will hear the same…played a great defense, were in it until the end. At what point will someone take accountability (coaches) and say this is no where near good enough? Its not fair to the defense and change(s) have to be made somewhere…
