Israel has just assassinated two Palestinian journalists. I learned about the assassination of Hossam Shabat from breaking news that interrupted the news of the assassination of Mohammad Mansour.
Hossam’s car was targeted by an Israeli missile.

Glad to feel a glimmer of Texas pride in this hot mess.
“In Mr. Green’s case, he was not only challenging the president but also defying the entreaties of Democratic congressional leaders that members attend Mr. Trump’s speech and refrain from disruptions.”
I’m glad Rep. Al Green of Texas stood up for us. Cowardice from powerful people is lethal.

Al Green Removed From House Chamber for Heckling Trump During Speech
Republicans had the Texas Democrat, who introduced the first articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, ejected after he shouted at the president and refused to sit down.
