‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR JUNE 12, 2026: Massie’s Impassioned Plea in Congress to Investigate Israel’s 1967 Attack on the U.S.S. Liberty… A Victory for Freedom of Speech and for a Free Palestine… Plus Headlines on Iran and More…
Friday, 12 June, 2026
In Congress, 59 years of silence is ended about Israel’s deadly attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, which killed 34 servicemembers and wounded another 174. We hear from Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. And there is a victory for both free speech and the Free Palestine student movement that blossomed at Columbia University. Plus headlines on Iran, U.S. domestic news and DC news, including a picket protest by Aramark workers, the DC primary, the DC budget, and the opening of the DC Liberation Center. And more. Correction: an early version of ths show misstated the number of wounded on the U.S. Liberty, 174 were wounded. Also, the address for the DC Liberation Center listed on their website is: 337 H Street Northeast, Washington, D.C. 20002. We apologize for any confusion.
