The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...

The New Hampshire State Police is investigating the crash that left a total of three people injured, including Giuliani, who was a passenger in one of the vehicles. Police say that just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks were investigating a reported domestic violence incident on Interstate 93 southbound in Manchester when a two-vehicle crash occurred across from them on the northbound side of the interstate. As a result of the collision, both vehicles went into the median and were heavily damaged. Troopers and fire personnel, who were at the scene of the first incident, witnessed the collision and quickly crossed the interstate to render aid. The on-scene investigation determined that a Honda HR-V, driven by Lauren Kemp, 19, of Concord, struck the back of a Ford Bronco, driven by Theodore Goodman, of Michigan. Kemp and Goodman, as well as Giuliani, Goodman's passenger, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

Sadly, this is nothing new for Ukraine which has a long tragic history of hosting these kinds of imperial death matches, whether it’s the Ottomans and the Czars or the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. The only good new here is that these wild steppes are usually where it ends before it begins again.

"The Biden administration was totally feckless when it came to holding the Netanyahu government to the standard of American law and the standards that we claim to apply to every other country in the world when it comes to the duty to provide humanitarian assistance," Sen. Chris Van Hollen told NPR.

Israel blocked Senators Chris Van Hollen and Jeff Merkley from joining Jordanian airdrops over Gaza. Congress has sent Israel $26 billion this year—yet U.S. lawmakers are forbidden from seeing the destruction they fund.

Israel is now denying US senators (aka their patrons) from even seeing what they have done to Gaza. But the genocide is made up.

Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @SenJeffMerkley & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.

There is the moral and emotional dimension of this tragedy – the rage and fury that so many will probably never face justice for this world historic crime – and then there is the pragmatic – that I, and so many others, just want it to end. Actions like this fall under the latter imperative.

The Israeli government is denying a US Senator the ability to bear witness to the destruction the bombs and arms supplied by his own government have wrought, even by way of a third-party government, and that is significant, and it takes someone like him pushing the door to reveal the reality.

Van Hollen is taking huge professional and personal risks trying to break the institutional omertà in the American political establishment with on bearing witness to Gaza and relaying its reality to the American people, and actions like this should be praised.
