Drop Site @DropSiteNews · 7h 🔺 IRGC claims “full control” over the Strait of Hormuz, says it forced 6 ships to anchor in the past day Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps navy said it has consolidated complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, claiming no vessel can now pass without accepting Iranian-imposed rules, according to a statement carried by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency. 🔹 The IRGC said it enforces Iranian authority over the 240,000-square-kilometer expanse of the Gulf and the strait through continuous naval monitoring. 🔹 It claimed the corridor has reached a point where “no vessel can pass without accepting the order and regulations set” by Iran. 🔹 It said attempts by US forces to redirect ships have been met with warning fire, forcing the vessels to turn back. 🔹 In the past 24 hours, the IRGC said, six ships were forced to drop anchor and accept Iranian instructions after receiving warnings. The claims have not been independently verified but Kpler tanker data shows Hormuz traffic near a standstill, with as few as one westbound transit some days and none at all on July 22.

The same Mitch McConnell who stole two Supreme Court seats so he could overturn Roe v Wade, deregulate companies by gutting the power of administrative agencies, and obliterate the Voting Rights Act

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

I believe that Moscow Mitch McConnell is likely permanently disabled or dead and his team should be criminally prosecuted for covering it up in order to delay a special election for as long as possible. The creepy photos only grow my suspicion.

The Ohio Democratic party is censoring its own members from criticizing Amy Acton. This even includes the Pride Caucus chair who has to criticize her from their personal capacity. They've threatened to kick caucuses out that formally criticize Acton over her transphobic positions.

Holding the Line: An Update on the Fight for Trans Rights and Accountability in Ohio ​Over the last couple of weeks, our community has taken some incredibly painful hits from people who are supposed to be our allies. Hearing a statewide candidate validate anti-trans narratives and write off our rights as "settled law" is a flat-out betrayal. Let’s be entirely clear: absolutely no boys are playing in girls' sports. Trans girls are girls, trans boys are boys, and transphobia and misgendering must be condemned, regardless of which political party it comes from. The anger out there right now is completely justified. ​A lot of you have reached out asking why I haven’t made a loud public statement yet, especially given my role with the Pride Caucus. I want to be very clear: the public quiet right now is not compliance. It’s strategy. ​Behind the scenes, the work hasn’t stopped for a single day. I, along with many other advocates, have been on the phone constantly with state party leadership, coordinating with allied organizations, and pushing back hard. We are forcing these conversations to happen, and we are not going to let this campaign run out the clock or sweep this under the rug hoping we just forget about it. ​The harm was done in public, and I believe that requires a public resolution. I will not settle for vague, backroom promises. We are demanding real, public accountability and an absolute respect for our community's right to exist. Anything less is completely unacceptable. ​ Disclaimer: To be entirely transparent, I am posting this strictly in my capacity as a trans advocate, a legislative candidate, and a trans Ohioan living this reality every day. I am not writing this on behalf of, or as a representative of, my official role as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. So, to the ODP compliance team: you can save yourselves the phone call, because I will not be taking this down.

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Gov Beshear needs to do in this situation regarding Mitch McConnell exactly what Mitch McConnell would do. Call an special election and make the GOP show proof of like. Pro tip: There is no finding common ground with Yatzees. www.wkyt.com/2026/07/17/g...

Gov. Beshear suggests he received information suggesting McConnell ‘passed’ in new interview

The governor said he received the information from diffrent agencies but did not say which during the July 15 interview.

NEW: In his speech attacking elections, Trump ordered the FBI to reopen an investigation into long-debunked anti-voting claims against a voter registration drive in Michigan in the lead-up to the 2020 election. But authorities have said it didn't lead to a single fraudulent vote being cast.

Michigan election fraud cited in Trump speech had no impact on votes

Michigan’s chief election official said Trump's claims were “long-debunked and baseless.”
