The gender pay gap traps women in bad marriages by making it financially risky to leave.

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

A commentator on Australian national public broadcaster SBS coverage of the Spain v Argentina World Cup Final: "He's moved now, so they can edit him out" Most Australians cannot stand him.

👏🏼👏🏼 Daniel Cressy, 23, is one of fewer than 100 people worldwide to have received a new type of gene-editing therapy that has functionally cured him of sickle cell disease. For Cressy, this meant that he could finally pursue his dream of becoming a pilot. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

Viva Espana!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

That was incredible play from Nico Williams to head that back. Great goal. Viva España!!! #WorldCup

When Argentina go on to win this with penalties then it will officially confirm not just the worst World Cup Final ever but the worst World Cup EVER. #WorldCup #ESPARG #ARGESP #ARGSPA

We’re watching #worldcup in Paris and the commentators say this is “cinema total” on part of Argentina.

Oh man right wing heads must exploding over the rainbow 🌈 flares. #worldcup

All this BS serves as a reminder, especially for those in K-12 subject to book bans and other gag orders, that the right's obsession with "the classics" reflects their need to control both texts and to control interpretation.

They never should have been allowed into the US in the first place.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

Every time they make it harder for foreign students to study here, they're just jacking up the tuition costs for American students and robbing America of incredible new talent too.

🚨BREAKING: A federal court dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit demanding access to Connecticut's unredacted voter registration list. The department has now lost its sweeping legal hunt for access to states' private voter data in 16 states.

Ossoff: "The abuses of federal power, the misconduct is unprecedented. That's why Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there's a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed"

Sorry for the mass layoffs that are making your job impossible. Here are some of my daughters pretzels.

40+ civil rights organizations just came out against Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche is indicting civil rights champions, protecting insurrectionists, and firing prosecutors. All to protect Donald Trump—not YOU.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota prosecutors obtain hard drives, car in investigation into fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

A series of arson and vandalism attacks on Jewish sites in Britain were the work of a proxy group backed by Iran, the U.K. government said. It also announced bans on the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, or IMCR, and Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.

It's the corruption, corruption, corruption.

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

BREAKING: US Senator Lindsey Graham has died after a brief and unexpected illness, his office says in a statement.

These were suppose to be lessons not the play book

"The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b...

www.cnn.com/2026/07/11/p... More attempts to thwart journalists just doing their jobs. #USDemocracy

Reading Ben Fountain's latest, and it is Swiftian (Jonathan, not Taylor) satire at its best.

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I watched Graham Platner's 11 minute monologue about how the party pushed him out just for being a rapist.

LAPD becomes by far the biggest law enforcement office to quit Flock.

How very "Christian" of him.

How many layers of men did this go through at Meta without any one of them thinking: "This is a Very Bad Idea." All it would have taken is one woman to tell them, because we know from bitter experience. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump lackeys go into their positions thinking they are protected by the force field that Trump’s base projects around him. But they’re not, because he maintains the force field by ejecting anyone who becomes too big of a liability. You’re on your own, K$H.

the subhed lol

Meta is going to kill you

"Survey results...reflect broader concerns about a political climate in which the president has routinely misrepresented intelligence to the public & directed his advisers to find evidence, however dubious, to support his claims abt a stolen election in 2020."

I feel there hasn't been enough attention to the explosive diarrhea that is being caused by a foodborne parasite that was tracked until exactly a year ago by the FDA, but then was cut as part of the "cost savings" of DOGE. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Rufo: identity politics for me, but not for THOSE PEOPLE.

"The president’s international licensing business, which looked nearly dead a few years ago, generated $61 million in 2025, according to a financial disclosure report released last week. That’s up an estimated 30% from 2024 and 900% from 2023. " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

COOK POLITICAL: “.. There’s no prize for the party that holds the majority of governorships, but Democrats may be poised to take the lead nationally for the first time since 2010.” @cookpolitical.com www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/gov...

As someone who loved learning swears in multiple languages as a teen, this is the kind of journalism I need.

Binface would have won a couple of decades ago before his vote was split between plastics, food waste, cardboard.

Very much enjoying the desperation of the right-wing machine as it seeks to frame Farage vs Binface as 'the London elite laughing at the people of Clacton' rather than the more logical and factual 'absolutely everyone laughing at Farage'.
