A study of 1 million+ grandparents (2020-2022) reveals birthday parties drive COVID-19 risk. Seniors faced a 9.9% higher risk of having a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 after a grandchild's birthday, increasing to 15% risk following a preschooler’s party. Published: July 13, 2026

Guess who said this wouldn't happen

The Élysée Palace has announced that Ukraine and nine other European countries have formed an Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition to jointly develop ballistic missile defence systems. t.me/voynareal/13...

The Trump administration is steering billions of dollars toward defense technologies. At the same time, the president’s sons are investing in the companies that stand to benefit. America's defense priorities should be driven by our national security, not the Trump family's bottom line.

HODGES: There are reports that Russia closed border crossings with Baltics, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan. That's speculation on my part, but why would they do that unless it was to make sure people did not leave, as would be the case if they were to announce big mobilization?

'Impeachment Is Next,' Says Senate Dem After Judge Voids Trump Slush Fund Settlement www.commondreams.org/news/judge-b...

Already this evening, Chernihiv, Odesa and Zaporizhzhia have all been attacked by Russia. These photos are from Zaporizhzhia, where two people have been injured and a high rise apartment block ruined.

Given that tRump’s financial sheets begin with a “buyer beware” clause and his convictions for business fraud, the IRS should keep him on speed dial and scrutinize every aspect of his businesses in perpetuity.

One of the last neo-conservative hawks, Sen. Lindsey Graham helped shape US foreign policy for decades. As CNN's Becky Anderson reports, his death brings the post-9/11 era of US geopolitics to a close, making way for what could be a new American foreign policy doctrine. https://cnn.it/4f9EAxr

Judge completely nullifies Trump's illegal settlement with IRS and weaponization fund. Could Blanche be disbarred? Take listen! 👇 #ProudBlue youtube.com/shorts/gv7tD...

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

The Republicans who vote to confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General ARE COMPLICIT & WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ONE DAY!

An endless stream of batshittery.

What’s old is new again.

America's #1 Political Problem According to FOX News .... TOO MUCH EDUCATION!!! ===================

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/u... Maine doesn’t want Schumer involved in their upcoming election and are even discussing replacing him after midterms. #Schumer #Blues

The Hunger Games for gasoline continue in Russia. 15 hours in fuel queues. Sleeping in line. Barely getting any petrol. #SpecialFuelOperation

Republican senator, who died Saturday, had a global reach few could rival and was vital in shaping Trump’s worldview

Russian woman shows the beach in occupied Crimea. "There are absolutely no people here. It feels so unusual - the new embankment is completely empty."

Über 5.100 Hitzetote allein in Deutschland. Und die Bundesregierung? Weniger Geld für Klimaschutz… Keine Hitzeschutzmaßnahmen… Kürzungen bei Wärme- und Kältepumpen… Teilen: Wer Hitzetote ernst nimmt, muss jetzt handeln!

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

The more data centres are built the more likely the world will face a series of 'Water Wars' ... meme via David Milligan

WHEN WILL FOX BRAINWASHED MAGA CULT LEARN? Just like Hitler, all of Trump’s false accusations and slander of all “Others” ( Dems, Libs, Mexicans, Somalis ), is ALL PROJECTION to sow fear, hate, division, and to distract/obscure his own endless crimes. There’s no Somali as criminally INSANE as Trump!

We can kiss Civil Rights goodbye! It happened right before our eyes with Trump’s personal lawyer Blanche going from acting to the starring DOJ role & sealed by the Senate if they confirm him. Next ballots with their candidates of choice will be our “choice” and the Democratic Party will be no more!

Here’s what I learned last night (a bit of it) on Politics Girl podcast by Leigh McGowan with guest HC Richardson: only 4% of Americans were fans of Project 2025. The R’s claimed they didn’t follow it to get elected. Now well over 50% of the tripe has been enacted.

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.

Trump: "We're gonna keep the strait, and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait. We should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're gonna be reimbursed. We're gonna get paid."

Happy Monday! 🤣 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal

Best “remove glasses to look at something unbelievable” in cinema history.

New: Officials say intel confirms that Trump’s boat strikes aren’t achieving the purported goal of stopping the flow of drugs. Top WH & Pentagon officials know this. And that apparently hasn’t changed a thing — as sources say Trump is now exploring an *expansion* of operations. @swin24.bsky.social

In der Krise muss das Land zusammenstehen, Symbolbild.

Die geplante faktische Abschaffung des Informationsfreiheitsgesetzes durch SPD/CDU/CSU ist mit das deutlichste Zeichen, in welcher privilegierten Rolle sich Spitzenpolitiker:innen sehen:Sie schaffen Voraussetzungen für die autoritäre Übernahme und wissen, dass sie davon nicht betroffen sein werden.

"Trump’s Illegal Boat Bombings Are Just ‘Murder for Murder’s Sake,’ U.S. Official Says" Donald Trump’s boat strikes aren’t working – because they’re ‘not actually designed to end the fentanyl crisis,’ a senior administration official tells Zeteo.

Among the things we stress in this, the U.S. government and least of all the president still doesn’t actually know who we are blowing up

Michael Waltz is out here peddling pathetic, tired nonsense about Cuba being a major national security threat. It is truly impressive how politicians cling to their desperate, ancient Cold War fantasies about Cuba while ignoring the actual problems facing this country.

Incredible and absolutely true!

Die brutale Hitze Ende Juni war gefährlich & tödlich. Und vom Bundeskanzler: Bis heute kein Wort. Dieses Schweigen macht fassungslos.

Whistleblowers say Trump rushed renovations to finish in time to receive his FIFA Peace Prize there. “In the process, longstanding federal contracting controls were set aside, no-bid contracts were awarded, and superficial cosmetic work was performed that staff warned would have to be redone.”

„In München wurde im vergangenen Jahr ein Heim eröffnet, das ausschließlich für wohnungslose Männer bestimmt ist, die berufstätig sind. Dort leben Lager- und Fabrikarbeiter, Lieferfahrer, Wachleute, Bauarbeiter, Verkäufer.“ Was für eine unglaublich wichtige Recherche www.zeit.de/2026/30/wohn...

Ich verlinke den Dreck nicht, aber ich habe es gelesen. Wer will, kann ja mal nachlesen, was Welt, Bild, Tichys & Co. zu der Gruppenvergewaltigungs-Statistik schreiben. Und Zeit, SZ usw. philosophieren über statistische Details. 🧵

Today, the IOC provisionally lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee. This is the wrong signal at the wrong time. Russia is still waging a war of aggression against Ukraine, yet its sporting system is being offered a path back to normality. 1/2

Mitch McConnell’s wife is stonewalling questions about her visit to China and her decision not to rush back to the U.S. after her 84-year-old husband was hospitalized.
