Interesting choice by NYT to publish an op-ed bemoaning America’s projected population decline by a guy who’s massively racist against immigrants and compares IVF to “Nazi eugenics.” The “pronatalists” only want more of a very specific kind of person in this country. It gives the game away.

'For the second time in five months, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to wade into an internal Army flight safety investigation late Thursday, tweeting support for eight AH-64 Apache pilots and crew who were suspended'

Facial hair due to folliculitis or religious exemptions? Get the boot! Air safety violations over large groups of civilians? "Carry on, patriots!" Good order and discipline, my ass.

A cyclosporiasis outbreak has now affected more than 1,700 people and counting. More than two dozen states are investigating cases of the foodborne parasitic infection.

The CDC made state reporting of the infections optional when it scaled back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. PBS News’ Tim McPhillips explains what cyclosporiasis is, how it spreads and how to avoid illness.

President Trump’s approach to commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary has injected a more partisan tone into events meant to bring Americans together. https://to.pbs.org/4gtV4Bw

The mission of the National Guard is defending the nation and answering emergencies at home. Street policing in the District is neither. We joined 25 other organizations in urging Gov. Whitmer to bring Michigan's National Guard home. Our statement: www.chamberlainnetwork.us/the-report/t...

A man identifying himself as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son posted on Facebook that his father lived in the United States for nearly 35 years and worked in construction to help provide for his family. “My father did not deserve this,” Ronaldo Salgado said.

A Mexican national fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston had no criminal convictions during his decades living in the U.S. and was driving a crew to a homebuilding site when he was killed, his family and a Texas congresswoman said. https://to.pbs.org/4h2Uzyk

Pay her the debt you owe her, and unpay the villainy you have done with her. The one you may do with sterling money, and the other with current repentance.

The writer E. Jean Carroll can collect $5.8 million held in escrow since a jury found that President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed her, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. Trump's lawyers immediately appealed to stop the payment. https://to.pbs.org/4f9Lamg

This is an extraordinarily blunt and definitive statement from the Maine Democratic Party—they say Platner has been trying to influence the process of picking his replacement, and they've shot him down cold.

“The targeting databases — the Modernized Integrated Database MIDB, and the Machine-Assisted Analytic Rapid-Repository System, — clearly indicated that the information related to Iranian targets needed to be updated before use, two of the sources said.” Shocking scoop www.cnn.com/2026/07/07/p...

A study concluded that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. (Published July 2025)

Today we joined 25 partner organizations urging Gov. Whitmer to bring Michigan's National Guard home from Washington, DC. Four governors have withdrawn forces already. Michigan's are slated to stay through August. The Guard belongs to Michigan. The letter: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

The justices that upheld birthright citizenship in 1898 were racist men in a racist era who still could not avoid the plain text of the Constitution. What changed between is that the GOP now sees multiracial democracy as a threat rather than an ideal or aspiration www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

163 years ago today, a professor from Maine ordered a bayonet charge on Little Round Top, and saved the Union. Four months later, Lincoln told the country why: fidelity to a promise that the republic would endure. That promise turns 250 this week. It has never kept itself. The work continues.

Habsburgs not looking good.

Trump lost the 2020 election. Georgia voters made their voices heard, and he's still trying to silence them.   Stop weaponizing the FBI. Stop intimidating Georgia voters. And stop undermining our democracy.

It's the 1,000th day since a Hamas-led attack on Israel sparked the war in Gaza. Other conflicts have emerged in the region, and fragile ceasefires show scars of persistent attacks. Both Israelis and Palestinians are weary of the strain. https://to.pbs.org/4oYv6Z7
