Videos of the attack show the Israelis beating Heidi Levine with their hands and clubs and kicking her as she lay on the ground. They also reportedly stole all of her camera gear. Here’s WaPo’s comment:
“This morning, a Washington Post photographer, Heidi Levine, was attacked by Israeli settlers while reporting in the West Bank. She was wearing visible markings clearly identifying her as a journalist. While we are relieved that Heidi has received medical care and is sate, we are outraged by this unwarranted attack on a journalist doing her job and urge a thorough investigation and follow-through from authorities.”

But your lawyer told SCOTUS that one of the reasons the justices should declare former presidents broadly immune from prosecution for criming while in office is so that no future president would try to pardon himself
JUSTICE GORSUCH: What -- what would
happen if presidents were under fear -- fear
that their successors would criminally prosecute
them for their acts in office, whether it's --whether they've engaged in drone strikes -- all
the hypotheticals. I'm not going to go through
them. It seems to me like one of the incentives
that might be created is for presidents to try
to pardon themselves.
Do you have any thoughts about that?
MR. SAUER: That is -- I didn't think
of that until Your Honor asked it. That is
certainly one incentive that might be created.
What we think is most important is --
JUSTICE GORSUCH: I mean, we've never
answered whether a president can do that.
Happily --
MR. SAUER: And the --
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Happily, it's never
been presented to us.
MR. SAUER: And if -- if the doctrine
of immunity remains in place, that's likely to remain the case for those very issues. As
Fitzgerald, I think, very powerfully emphasized, the real concern here is, is there going to be
bold and fearless action? Is the president

going to have to make a controversial decision

where his political opponents are going to come

after him the minute he leaves office? Is that

going to unduly deter, is that going to dampen

the ardor of that president to do what our

constitutional structure demands of him or her,

which is bold and fearless action in the face of
controversy?


JUSTICE GORSUCH: And perhaps, if he

feels he has to, he'll pardon himself every --

every -- every four years from now on.

MR. SAUER: But that, as the Court

pointed out, wouldn't provide the security
never been addressed.
because the legality of that is something that's never been addressed.

As Tracey has noted on social media, the anger directed toward him has also reached his siblings and his mother. Tracey said on X that his father, with whom he shares a first name, has received “literally thousands of nonstop crazed texts/calls/voicemails.”

On Thursday, October 8, Tracey began receiving D.M.s on X from a woman he didn’t know. She said her name was Lauren, and that she and her husband had purchased Tracey’s childhood home in New Jersey four years earlier, and that, as a result, they were now receiving threats. “Can you please post on here that you do not live at this address?” she wrote to Tracey. “Please, we are trying to protect our family and this is so out of hand we are horrified at the comments we are seeing.” She told him that they had started receiving packages delivered in his name.

“Please,” the woman wrote. “Help us.”

Did ya know Marco Rubio's brother-in-law had a $75M drug ring? And now— "Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with…the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with."
And as the nation’s top diplomat, Marco Rubio has in some respects served as a friend and accomplice of drug trafficking or criminal enterprises, earning him the moniker “Narco Rubio” from critics. The complaints extend well beyond noting Rubio’s cocaine-trafficking brother-in-law. Rather, it’s that Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with criminal enterprises that advance U.S. establishment political and intelligence aims.

In his role as secretary of state, Rubio has protected, praised, and propped up a murderer’s row of Latin American leaders who each have ties to the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with.

Share

For years, Rubio has praised former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, and defended him against allegations of bribery and fraud. The Pentagon has identified Uribe as a Colombian politician “dedicated to collaboration with the Medellin cartel at high government levels,” as being “linked to a business involved in narcotics activities in the U.S.” and being a “close personal friend” of Pablo Escobar. On the other hand, Rubio perhaps appreciates Uribe’s efforts to stamp out communist insurgencies in Colombia – to the point of committing war crimes.

Rubio said last year that Ecudoran President Daniel Noboa “has done more just in the last couple years to take the fight to these narco-terrorists… than any previous administration.” Five months before that, Noboa’s family fruit business was revealed to have trafficked 700 kilos of cocaine to Europe. (Notably, this summer, an anti-corruption activist who was investigating ties between Noboa’s family and cocaine trafficking was found dead in her home with a noose around her neck; and days later, a prosecutor who had been investigating the drone attacks on Ecuadorian fishing boats carried out by the Trump administration was shot dead in the streets).
