President Donald Trump offered the family of a servicemember killed in Iran a ride in Air Force One, he told attendees at an event held at Atlanta’s Wheeler High School Wednesday. The president arrived in Atlanta after departing Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, “which is an incredible place,” he said, “but oftentimes very sad, because that’s when they bring the bodies of our great heroes, our great patriots, warriors.” “They bring them back to Dover, and I’ve been there many times before,” Trump continued. “This was in particular something very sad. I attended the dignified transfer ceremony for four great U.S. Service members killed in the conflict with Iran. As they returned to American soil at Dover, one of the families happened to be traveling to Georgia, a beautiful family. A beautiful wife and husband and brother-in-law, and I said, ‘I’m going to Georgia too. Where are you going?’ They said, ‘Well, after this, sir’—they lost their beautiful son, and I said, ‘If you want, after this, I’ll give you a ride on Air Force One, ‘ and they said, ‘Wow.'” The family joined Trump today. “So today, I then said, on Air Force One, and it’s quite nice, I must say. And they said, ‘Wow, this is something. Thank you so much.’ But they are heartbroken. They are heartbroken, and they live very close to here. They live minutes away.” On Wednesday, Trump attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four servicemembers killed in Iran. The servicemembers have been identified as Angel S. Rampersad of New York, Michael Emmanuel Swinton of North Carolina, Tyler James Feehan of Hawai’i, and Isabella Gonzales of Texas. “We’re going to Dover. Some of you are going with us. To honor our heroes, and they are indeed great heroes, actually. They said, and all of them said very strongly, we can’t let, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon,” the president told reporters today, per NBC News. “They won’t have a nuclear weapon. So we’re going to honor them. And it’s one of the hardest things to do, for me, it’s one of the hardest things to do as a president, but has to be done.”The post Trump Says He Offered Family of Servicemember Killed in Iran a Ride in Air Force One: ‘They Said Wow’ first appeared on Mediaite.

J. Scott Applewhite, Lindsey Wasson/AP Photos Socialite Paris Hilton is pushing the U.S. House of Representatives and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to pass a bipartisan bill that would legally deep-six those who make and distribute sexual deepfake images. The model and former reality television star has backed the DEFIANCE Act, sponsored by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Laurel Lee (R-FL), which would give victims the right to sue those who “knowingly produce, distribute, solicit and receive or possess with the intent to distribute nonconsensual sexually-explicit digital forgeries.” The bill passed the Senate in January in a unanimous vote. Johnson was asked about the DEFIANCE Act Tuesday, but didn’t commit to getting it passed. “No, I remember that. I don’t know,” Johnson said according to video posted to X. “I don’t know what the status of it is though. I’m obviously in favor of that. It’s a very important piece of legislation. Laurel’s done great work on it. We’ll have to see.” I’m proud to support @RepLaurelLee @AOC’s #DEFIANCEAct to provide victims of explicit deepfakes access to justice,” Hilton posted on X. “It passed the Senate UNANIMOUSLY and is awaiting a vote in @JudiciaryGOP – Leadership has the ability to pass this and I really hope they move this bill as this issue is impacting women and girls in every neighborhood @MikeJohnson @HouseGOP @SpeakerJohnson,” she wrote. Hilton has been an outspoken advocate for abuse victims and was infamously the victim of a sex tape scandal in 2003, when she was just 19. “People called it a scandal. It wasn’t. It was abuse,” she said during her January appearance in Washington to push for the DEFIANCE Act. “There were no laws at the time to protect me. There weren’t even words for what had been done to me. The internet was still new, and so was the cruelty that came with it. They called me names, they laughed and made me the punchline,” the now 45-year-old said at the time. “They sold my pain for clicks, and then they told me to be quiet, to move on, to even be grateful for the attention. These people didn’t see me as a young woman who had been exploited. They didn’t see the panic that I felt, the humiliation or the shame. No one asked me what I lost.”The post Paris Hilton Pushes House on Deepfakes Legislation: ‘Really Hope They Move This Bill’… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - ‘Is That a Distraction?’: Jon Stewart Asks Zohran Mamdani About His Threat t...New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) decided to share the Tuesday night video in which he repeated his belief that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal because, “I think I have a responsibility to be honest with New Yorkers,” he told Jon Stewart in Wednesday’s episode of The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart. Stewart asked if questions about Netanyahu are a “distraction from all of these other things that you want to do.” “Is it taking up a little bit more of the media space than you realized?” Stewart asked. Mamdani clarified that the question was posed to him, and continued, “I know for many New Yorkers when they see a clip, it doesn’t begin with the question; it begins with the answer. I think the focus always has to be on the work that you’re doing and how you find a balance between not giving your kind of a classic … a political deflection where you don’t want to answer any of those questions and focusing on the work and still finding that together.” “And are there any other leaders that you would also like to arrest? Because I have a list,” Stewart joked. “Anybody who the ICC has called for,” Mamdani said. “I think we should be honoring.” Earlier this week Mamdani said he was in “active conversation” with law enforcement in New York City about whether he could legally arrest Netanyahu, per the ICC’s warrant. Mamdani told The New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro, “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.” Mamdani also spoke about potentially arresting Netanyahu during his mayoral campaign. “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” Mamdani said in October 2025. The ICC issued a warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest in 2024.

- Bridge Too Far: Canada Cancels Border Crossing Ceremony After Surprise Trump Tar...
Paul Sancya/AP Photo A planned joint celebration between the United States and Canada to mark the opening of a new bridge named after hockey legend Gordie Howe was put on ice after President Donald Trump’s surprise 50% tariffs on America’s neighbor to the north. The celebration to open the new Gordie Howe International Bridge linking Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, had been slated for Friday. The 1.5 mile-long span, named for the famed hockey player who spent 25 years playing for the Detroit Red Wings, is a walkable link between the two nations and has been under construction since 2018. The ribbon-cutting for the $4.4 billion project was originally set for June 12 but had been pushed back. Canadian officials said they will now hold their own ceremony Friday to mark the opening. “In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for Canadian Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson, told the Associated Press. Trump announced the hefty tariffs on Canada on July 20, prompting criticism from those who said they were ill-timed. “This is not a time to be screwing around,” Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino warned on Tuesday of the tariffs, adding that he agreed “intellectually” with Trump’s tariffs. Trump irked Canada by claiming he would hold the country “responsible” for “filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air” from hundreds of wildfires recently blanketing swaths of the United States. “We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!” Trump wrote July 17 on Truth Social. More than 100 million people in 18 states and the District of Columbia were under air quality alerts from wildfire smoke, with cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York among the hardest hit.The post Bridge Too Far: Canada Cancels Border Crossing Ceremony After Surprise Trump Tariffs first appeared on Mediaite.
