Argentina disgraced themselves, and the World Cup final, with their charmless petulance (free to read) www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...

This week, TPS for Haitians is expected to end. No state will feel the impact more than Florida, home to roughly 350,000 -- many of them healthcare workers. “The workers are suffering, but the patients are going to suffer more.” My latest for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When teams lose that don't have class or sportsmanship, it is hard not to notice the special joy it brings to even the neutral game watcher.

This free documentary is a MUST SEE. Shuffling people around the US, away from their attorneys and family, away from their Habeas Corpus filings, on a merry-go-round of extremely expensive tax-payer funded charter flights, is a key part of the ICE death machine and hardly anyone is talking about it.

Crude Oil has 43 days of supply left in the U.S. — the lowest inventory in 45 years @barchart.com ⛽️

Very good news. Also apparently Troy Jackson was polling better against Collins even before the Politico story on Platner? drive.google.com/file/d/1D7on...

This is just a wonderful illustration of the billionaire capture of the idea of free speech as a cover for bad arguments. See "FREE EXPRESSION" is when a billionaire's editorial team tells the scientists they are wrong for not downplaying threats that would could cut into corporate profits.

Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

This story.......

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

When our daughter was 8 months, we had a delay on the tarmac after they pressurized the plane. She was crying, of course. Some guy a few rows up turned around. My wife immediately snapped: "Oh, I know you did not just look back here." He spun back around and she asked me "Was that out loud?"

Yet another way to be corrupt by not protecting official criminality. We Americans really need to decide whether we are going to hold power accountable

It is interesting to me that scientists are told to be "non-political" to prevent reduction of trust in their work even as others with ideological goals, such as WSJ editorial board attack them to among other things reduce trust in their work! These articles ought to be challenged at multiple levels

The unlawful merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. would lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less film and TV content—harming the entertainment industry and audiences alike.    We’re in court to stop it.   Learn more in the Weekly Update.  content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CAO...

"Russiagate Was Real, Trump Admits" Donald Trump and his allies hyped up a speech about alleged Chinese interference in U.S. elections, only to unwittingly admit Russian interference, as Prem Thakker reports for Zeteo.

Despite their oversight role, FCC members have accepted pricey gala tickets from CBS or its parent company, now Paramount. Seven of the 10 commissioners who served since 2016 accepted tickets worth more than $260,000, ProPublica found.

Insisting that proximity to respect and approval bestows respect and approval is the story of Trump’s life from his days growing up in Queens.

We were honored to cosponsor yesterday’s anti-ICE rally in Portland, where hundreds gathered to listen to speakers who shared many stories and messages with one demand: ICE OUT NOW! #abolishICE

They should have made him a 'saint'. #BookSky

Pool report from @svdate.bsky.social, who is at the World Cup ceremony: "The president walked onto the field at 1826 to a sustained chorus of boos. Ambient crowd noise was about 78 decibels. Booing brought it to 84."

Just had to patch a bug on the @influence.citationneeded.news Michigan House District 13 election pages, stemming from Shri Thanedar reporting -$1.1 million in receipts. Why is Thanedar reporting negative receipts? He put $3.7 million of campaign funds into crypto. theintercept.com/2026/07/17/s...

Say what you like about this Argentina team, they may be graceless, whining, embittered and violent during the match, but they’re also graceless, whining, embittered and violent after it.

this is such a display because I wasn't someone who knew Anything about why people hated argentina so much and now I get it without question in a mere 15 second clip stay owned idiots

I really want to know what Infantino was saying to Trump here ... www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAeAHWwM/

See also Infantino dragging him off the stage

Rare moment when Infantino isn’t the most corrupt guy around.

Infantino trying to get Trump off the stage lol

This footage of Infantino trying to pull Trump off the World Cup stage is my Zapruder film. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAeATBAB/

Classless losers. Typical of bullies.

The Argentina players don't know how to lose, which makes their loss so much more gratifying.

This really is a theme of the administration: the ineptitude and obvious bias give everything the taint of illegitimacy.

Government-promoted anti-intellectualism is a common feature of fascist states, with “intellectualism” coded as feminine and/or Jewish/leftist.

Christian nationalism has always been about more than politics. It's also about erasing cultures and insisting one religion belongs above all others. Good for the Northern Arapaho people for refusing to accept it.

No. Next question.

Your good news Sunday: Amid all the fear and division, here's a story that restored a little faith in people. A town of just 200 people chose compassion over politics when one of their own needed them most. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

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.

2.6 million people lost ACA coverage in one year after subsidies expired, the steepest drop since 2014. Average premiums jumped 114% for those who stayed. Coverage gaps mean delayed diagnoses, skipped medications, and emergency room bills that follow people for years. www.salon.com/2026/07/19/2...

AOC: A genocide in Gaza committed with American bombs and financed by our American dollars, while our kids here at home have to ration their inhalers because politicians tell us that healthcare is too expensive.

As Adam Bonica says, “America’s problems are solved problems. Just not here.”
