It’s been a busy week for Zohran Mamdani in regard to his favorite legal jurisdiction. Unfortunately, that jurisdiction doesn’t happen to be New York City, but instead the state of Israel. After again saber-rattling and threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he promised on the campaign trail, he suddenly discovered he lacked the jurisdiction. Not that this stopped him from calling Netanyahu a “war criminal,” despite the fact he hasn’t been (and almost certainly never will be) tried in an international court: Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. pic.twitter.com/YRezmW6YVx — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) July 22,…

Thursday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) called Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump “absolute idiots.” Host Chris Hayes said, “I want to ask you about, a story we just saw that I really find head scratching. The Department of Defense has subtracted and lowered the number of U.S. deaths in combat in Iran from 18 to 14. They have subtracted by four.

Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, has never sugar-coated his ill feelings toward CNN’s Jake Tapper. In 2025, Tapper co-authored “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” Wednesday on former CNN host Don Lemon’s podcast, the younger Biden, in a series of remarks punctuated by occasional expletives, blasted Tapper as a “poor journalist” and a horrible human being. “Were you friends with Jake Tapper?” Lemon asked about 30 minutes into the interview. “No,” the younger Biden replied, adding that he had known Tapper for a quarter century. “How’d you feel about…

At a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, several lawmakers accused China of using United Nations peacekeeping missions as an opportunity for espionage. “The Chinese peacekeeping department is concentrated in strategically sensitive regions, including areas along Belt and Road corridors, near ports, mineral resources, and existing or potential basing locations,” Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC) said. “These are long-standing concerns about whether this designation is cover to advance military and intelligence objectives in regions where the U.S. has strategic interests,” she said. “The Belt and Road Initiative countries shift their U.N. General Assembly voting patterns to align more…

Actor Alan Ritchson, star of the Amazon Prime show Reacher, accused President Donald Trump of concealing the Epstein Files while saying that he’s “all up into 13 year olds.” Ritchson expressed his thoughts during an interview with podcaster Josh Horwitz. “People, I think, are a little afraid of me because they’re like he’s a loose canon, and I am not. I’m just saying the shit that everybody should say if they give a shit about humanity everybody else should feel like I feel about the way things are and the abuses that are happening everywhere,” he said. It was then…

The House Oversight Committee on Friday received one non-disclosure agreement involving billionaire founder of Apollo Global Management Leon Black, an associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but the panel deemed it insufficient and promised to follow up with his attorney.
