Taylor Farms also owns and runs Earthbound Organics, which is available in nearly every grocery store across the US

So while we were all locked in on the World Cup this weekend, Taylor Farms executives flew out to the White House, made a $1 million donation through their parent company to a Trump PAC, and now suddenly their lettuce was NOT the cause of the Cyclospora outbreak? Sure, Jan.

Google has been deleting the reviews of ICE detention centers on Google Maps, according to a new study. The study found Google deleted reviews from dozens of ICE prisons, then blocked users from writing new ones. DHS says ICE never requested that Google do this. theintercept.com/2026/07/20/g...

Just a reminder that the guy they put in charge in Minnesota is now speaking at white supremacist conferences in Europe.

Social Security delays worsen as staffing cuts slow claim appointments; experts warn vulnerable beneficiaries face growing risks.

Take the win! These guys can be beaten, sometimes by something as simple as a wave of comments, and here’s a really important case in which they were. And every time they lose anything, they get weaker on everything.

VANITY INTERRUPTED: Renaming of Palm Beach airport for Donald Trump - imposed by state - hits snag after county commissioners who opposed idea refuse to pony up: "I don’t feel that our dollars should be going to a rebrand that this board did not approve.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oh, good. We’re talking about the 2020 election again. 🫠 Will Trump ever just move on? “His sanity depends on that…So he doesn’t feel like a loser.” Jacob talks to New Yorkers at Dekalb Market Hall for #PredictionMarkets #ConnectWithJacob

More than 3,500 deaths are confirmed since the earthquakes in Venezuela, the UN reports that the death toll could reach 10,000. Bellingcat has geolocated footage that appears to show several coffins placed in newly dug trenches. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/07...

Firefighters announced on Tuesday that over 1900 hectares of forest had gone up in flames during the wildfires near Fontainebleau forest, South-East of Paris. This Sentinel-2 satellite image captured the extent of the fires on July 13.

Trump's assertion is false. As @bellingcat.com reported earlier this year, authenticated videos from the strike on the Minab's girl school clearly show that the munitions that impacted the site were Tomahawk missiles. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

The British embassy in Jerusalem has been suspended from Twitter today for posting this Tweet revealing how Israel breaks the law. They silence everybody for criticises them.

ICE torture-for-profit must stop. As immigration detention has swelled under Trump’s administration, data shows that ICE has increasingly been using solitary confinement – a practice that experts say causes mental, physical and psychological harm. @mlive.com: www.mlive.com/news/2026/07...

She can duck and weave, but Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. She’s responsible for overseeing the appropriations process, including funding for ICE. Collins voted in favor of providing $70 billion in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Vote her out.

Crazy thought, Australia, but don’t we have a few big stretches of desert we could do this in?? #auspol #wapol

lol he started off ending the nuke program, ending missiles, ending the regime - now he's set his sights on the far grander task of getting things back to how they were before he started the war.

NEW: DHS plans to pay Thomson Reuters $125 million for access to its databases which includes peoples’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, ethnicity, social media posts, and geolocation information — to help ICE investigate “voter fraud”, according to documents reviewed by 404 Media.

Angus: MAGA politicians are threatening our sovereignty, saying they’ll cross the border if we don’t solve the climate crisis. We’ve always crossed the border to help each other. Today we’re mourning a Canadian firefighter who died helping fight a wildfire in Aspen, Colorado.

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

This is legit one of the wackiest photos I've ever seen. A thousand memes were launched today.

It's a scam all the way down. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed implementation of food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced in 2027

Spain also won by objecting to this shit

MAGA Christian Nationalist Bruce Taylor owns Taylor Farms which is causing the explosive diarrhea. This is what happens when Republicans “end regulations to help businesses” that donate to their campaigns.

President Donald Trump has no plans to sanction or otherwise China, CNN’s senior White House reporter Kevin Liptak said on Friday — despite accusing the country of interfering in the 2020 election only last night.

And when these rapists got to Florida, the Trump Administration intervened to get the Tates’ phones back: www.propublica.org/article/andr....

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

The humanitarian response is welcome. The historical revisionism is not. This administration dismantled USAID, eliminated much of the workforce that built America’s disaster response capability, and now presents humanitarian assistance as though it emerged from nowhere.

Four companies paid a fortune to settle lawsuits Trump brought against them—$63M steered to his future library. Then the numbers stopped matching. $21M missing. $6M filed under one word: "other." The fund quietly shut down in December. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-read-tr...

Anya had to sign a register kept by a uniformed police officer to see him. Epstein escorted her into a back room, where he sexually assaulted her for the first time. At least two other women have said he sexually assaulted them while serving his sentence. #Pinks www.bbc.com/news/article...

The epic investigation in the New Yorker by Heidi Blake seems to have lit a fire under UK criminal justice bureaucrats, who'd messed up last time they had a chance to prosecute the Tates (including some pretty horrendous victim blaming Blake recounts). Journalism matters for justice.

Also this:

Chaco Canyon is one of the most significant cultural sites on earth. The Trump administration, never having seen something of genuine value that it did not want to pervert or destroy, is attempting to wreck it, for profit. We have two weeks to comment. Additional background to follow.

ICYMI February 27, 2025 Trump Helps Alleged Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate Cross Border Into U.S. Lobbying to return Andrew Tate to the U.S. reveals the hollowness of the Republican Party’s anti-sex trafficking campaign. By Aída Chávez February 27 2025, 4:57 p.m. ET theintercept.com/2025/02/27/t...

If you are genuinely upset by sex trafficking, then you should want the Tates to spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars.

I could be wrong, but based upon the Trump team's prior support for the Tates (which caught blowback on the right), I doubt the U.S. Marshals Service (part of DOJ) would have arrested them if Todd Blanche believed Trump would order them freed.

Such a clown

Whoa. ATRC is one of those super esoteric things in natsec law that gets mentioned once in class as a "btw we also have this; this is how it's structured; it has never been used even once since it was established in 1996. But it's still technically there" things

Trump has ordered US CENTCOM to open "the gates of hell" upon Iran after US casualties in Jordan, US officials tell NPR. Another US official tells CBS News tonight's US attacks will be much more extensive and larger than previous nights.

HOLY CRAP! The documents Trump just released following his speech show that Russians worked with American officials to advance stories about Burisma and Joe Biden being corrupt. Someone is going to get fired tonight for accidentally allowing this one to be declassified.

Under Trump, U.S. federal debt has surpassed 100% of GDP for the first time since WWII. And it's on track to beat that all-time record by 2030.

President Trump used to brag about all the money we were making from tariff revenue. Last month, that trend flipped to a $26 billion loss as the government started paying back the tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal. The refund bill is just getting started.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...
