We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy. Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

A 5-run rally in the 5th!

James Talarico spent the Fourth of July in Texas with American icon Willie Nelson. Ken Paxton spent the Fourth of July with the British.

Can we get a whole chattering class who is like this? More upset at themselves being wrong than at the people who provided evidence they were wrong?

New AP polling of Jewish Americans— Mamdani (+5): 44% Favorable; 39% Unfavorable Netanyahu (-27): 32% Favorable; 59% Unfavorable Trump (-42): 29% Favorable; 71% Unfavorable Where's all the breathless wall-to-wall coverage on Netanyahu & Trump making Jewish people feel unsafe?

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

God bless Wired for keeping up this level of reporting.

Yesterday, 20-year-old Tyrin Johnson was shot and killed by two members of the National Guard in Memphis.

The American Legion website *still, today* defends the Legion's unprovoked 1919 attack on an IWW office and their lynching of Wesley Everest.

If Trump had limited his and his family's proclivities for corruption to things like this he wouldn't be the most unpopular human on earth.

First WC game I've caught this year and.. whoa!

Cape Verde is the size of Kansas City. I promise you there’s hardly a person in that country that doesn’t personally know at least one player on that team. Can you imagine how proud they must be of them?

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”

We taxpayers spent one hundred million dollars on this.

Basically extravagance offsets, but you know what, good for them www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

"Mommy, how long was the N64 account creation, multi-factor enrollment, update process, and new user experience when you got it on Christmas?" Matilda is distracted and scoots away, so missing your hand over the saucepan, wooden spatula shaking like a wet dog. Oh god. What world did we build?

It sucks that MAGA makes so many victims in every evil thing MAGA does.

The chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee is condemning social media posts and T-shirts promoted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars as "dangerous political rhetoric" in the latest salvo over congressional plans for veteran benefits. From Stars and Stripes' Linda F. Hersey:

On National Postal Worker Day, we thank our union postal workers, mail handlers and letter carriers who make sure our mail reaches millions of homes. We’re grateful for the hard work they do to get the job done and deliver half the world’s mail every day.
