⚡️ Armed Israeli settlers blocked Rep. Ro Khanna from leaving Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank for 90 minutes as Israeli troops stood by and later blocked the road, the New York Times reports citing footage shared by the congressman and his team.
Khanna was on a three-day, Palestinian-led tour of the West Bank, meeting Palestinian families, local officials and business owners and visiting communities subjected to settler violence, displacement and intrusive Israeli restrictions.
“One of the things it’s made me realize is how hard a two-state solution is going be in practice, that it’s going require the removal of a lot of violent settlers,” he told the New York Times.
Khanna also said the racism was unmistakable: “In Palestine, I felt first as someone who was brown,” he said. “We really saw the apartheidlike conditions, the inequality.”
BREAKING: Israel's parliament has moved to terminate the transfer of Palestinian public funds designated for essential services in Gaza.
Israel is already withholding approximately ILS 14 billion (around US$4.1 billion) in Palestinian revenues and assets, a measure that amounts to the unlawful appropriation of resources belonging to the Palestinian people.
The purpose of this latest bill is plain: to penalize Gaza's civilian population, erode the sovereign institutions of the State of Palestine, and, paradoxically, strengthen Hamas.
There has been no more effective guarantor of Hamas's continued political utility than policies that weaken an independent Palestinian authority capable of governing a contiguous, economically viable and sovereign Palestinian State.
In a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town?
The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.
First: Hamas has been trying for months to hand over governance to the NCAG but Israel has blocked this and the Board has done nothing. Second: The Israelis are in total violation of Phase 1 and have expanded their occupation. Third: Disarmament was not a condition of Phase 1.

NEW: Hazardous firework-induced smog continues to hover over Washington D.C. this morning. Avoid time outdoors if you can.
The air so filled with microscopic particulates (PM2.5) that it’s potentially harmful to exert oneself outside. CODE PURPLE alert in effect.
Elon took $38 billion from US taxpayers to make a bunch of rockets explode while he illegally cut pediatric cancer research, meals on wheels and USAID. He’s the ultimate fraud and parasite.
“Just over the course of one week in two states, more incumbent Democrats lost to insurgent primary challengers (three) than all of the incumbent Republicans who lost to Tea Party challengers in all 50 states in 2010 (two).”
I get the sense that very few people in DC are aware that federal officials wrote detailed analyses warning of the air quality health risks of the enormous 850K fireworks set to go off — and that the admin did not release those findings to the public
Did you know the department of energy deleted almost 6000 web pages on energy saving, all because they matched the advice Mamdani was giving in NYC?
It’s the world’s dumbest cult.
I'm old enough to remember when the bootlickers for the billionaire class blamed the doubling of egg prices on the avian flu instead of illegal price fixing and corporate greed.
it's so cool how members of Congress regularly go missing for weeks (or even months) with zero transparency. As a reporter it is literally easier for me to find out classified Pentagon war plans than what's going on in Congress.

Every politician pushing more oil instead of transitioning to renewable is a short term profit sociopath
