A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action. The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

It is Senator Schmitt (R-MO) who perjured himself at this hearing, right? Caught in a bald-face lie in this congressional hearing? What's the punishment for that? Expelled? Forced to resign? Can't tell the Atlanta Hawks & Iowa Hawkeyes apart.

Sen. SCHMITT: We have texts saying you attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I believe it was a Maryland-Iowa game. Sen. KLOBUCHAR: The Iowa HAWKeyes. Perhaps the Senator from Missouri should have looked at these texts more carefully.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.
