Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Adam Silver, in an appearance at Puck's In The Arena conference, said his prime worry is about geopolitics and "economic issues, potential inflationary issues" in the US. He said Wizards were supposed to play in Doha & Abu Dhabi this month but it was cancelled because of the war.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...

This tracks; last time I was in Middleburg I overheard two well dressed ladies talking approvingly about Mike Lindell's tv station.

For now, Vice President JD Vance is visible in the usual places, on television and social media, where powerful newsmakers are typically found. But word that Vance and his wife, Usha, are making a second home in Middleburg is dominating local chatter.

RETURNS from DC: Janeese Lewis George, the progressive candidate for mayor, has a huge lead with the first 93K ballots. She is up 52.5% to 36.8% for Kenyan McDuffie. Remember DC has RCV; but at this moment, George is already above 50% in first choices. There were 127K ballots in 2022 primary.

We are not going to get ICE off our streets or protect Home Rule by fearing this President. Threatening DC because you do not like how our residents vote is an attack on democracy itself. The people of DC elect the Mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Donald Trump.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Here in Washington DC, there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign focusing on socialist policies. How would you feel if she wins? TRUMP: Maybe we take back Washington and run it on a federal basis. We won't put up with it.

In the absence of Wizards to watch, I plan to support the broader Wizards diaspora, with some exceptions. For example: go Blazers (Avdija). Go Sixers (Oubre), with apologies to Moritz Wagner. Continuing...go Warriors (GP2), and especially: boo Clippers (Beal, ethereal).
