These nations publicly affirmed almost immediately after the warrant was issued that they would uphold their Rome Statute obligations and execute the arrest if Netanyahu entered their territory…

one day they're gonna stop letting me write headlines techcrunch.com/2026/07/21/m...

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

NEW: Mayor Mamdani announces that he has looked at all options and has determined he does NOT have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant if he comes to New York, but the feds do, and he encourages them to do so. He adds that Netanyahu is NOT WELCOME in New York City.

I must admit, I didn’t watch a single World Cup match, but I did watch as tens of thousands of people booed the orange felon ferociously and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful sound.

Accurate AF.

Homan’s promise…

A group of right-wing accounts is urging Trump to nuke Pickaxe Mountain in Iran. Literally the dumbest people on the planet.

Nothing says poor wannabe-alpha ape more than Hegseth’s incessant posturing and display. When betas like Trump try to brute-force their way into alpha status through intimidation and aggression, it almost always backfires.

Americans Alex Pretti and Renee Good are dead. Immigrants Joan Guerrero and Lorenzo Araujo are gone, too. Until there’s accountability for rogue ICE actions, the anger will continue to boil over.

Political violence is wrong—full stop. Left-wing violence is rising, but the data still shows right-wing violence is still more prevalent. When Tom Homan comes out and says that he’s concerned we’re going to have to bury an ICE agent, it feels totally disconnected from reality for most.

A beautiful Little Fairy Orchid (Caladenia reptans reptans). I think this the probably the earliest in the season we’ve seen this orchid flowering in the Perth Hills. This one was happily growing in a natural dip of a large boulder. #orchids #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist 🌿

These babies were in a nest underneath the boardwalk. Pic taken by iphone between slats of boardwalk.🪶 This was at Geyser in Iceland. They are baby Redwings.

“Don’t worry, Pete. That little speech I read was just for the voters back home. I have to put on these little shows to convince them I’m independent. You will get the $1.5 trillion for your wars even though I just gave ICE unlimited funding to run wild. We’ll just borrow more.”

Peace negotiations require some level of trust: Who is going to trust Trump? The Iranians won’t trust Trump. The Arab world won’t trust Trump.  The NATO nations won’t trust Trump. We certainly won’t trust Trump.

😳 Hegseth snaps at Peters: "Your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure if reckless and irresponsible and smear the sacrifice of the troops. Shame on you." Peters responds: "You, sir, are the failure!"

OSSOFF: On day 9, you assured us of Iranian surrender. Does that remain your prediction? HEGSETH: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon O: So to review, you will not answer whether your statement that Iran's military was 'destroyed' was truthful as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more?

OSSOFF: You stated on the 14th day of this conflict that Iran's military was 'destroyed.' Was that an accurate statement -- yes or no? HEGSETH: Iran's ability to challenge the US-- OSSOFF: That's not what I asked. Yes or no? HEGSETH: What the milit--- OSSOFF: Will you answer the question?

Mostly, I want democracy.

All hats. No horses.

Nailed it.

Fifa treatment of Iran. US treatment of Iran A historic sporting disgrace.

it is pretty insane that the movement which produced the idea that Kamala Harris would go to war in Iran has not produced any sort of resistance, even messaging, about the actual war in Iran

Highway Art Tehran, Iran

And like clockwork… markets close, back to bombing Iran

Iran hit a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a missile, causing heavy damage. They’ve announced the Strait is closed - again. The US is currently bombing Iran in response.

And so it goes. Iran is cheering......

Will Iran be remembered as Biden's Vietnam?

Been through a handful of Army Leader Professional Development trainings which could have been titled "why we shouldn't invade Iran" which largely consisted of someone slapping this map on a PowerPoint slide and pointing out that Iran has three times the land and twice the population of Iraq.

Testifying before a Senate subcommittee, the Hardy boys crack the Iran-Contra scandal.

This worked out great. For Iran.

Dear Iran…

Claim that Iran “also has some Tomahawks” is misleading. Tomahawk missiles are US-made and not known to be in Iran’s arsenal. #TrumpIsDumb #FactCheck #Trump Source: PolitiFact Trump fact-checks #TrumpIsDumb #FactCheck #Trump

You can’t tariff the wind. 🍁💨 Maybe focus on fighting climate change instead of blaming Canada! Jon Stewart says it perfectly on behalf of Canada! F*ck Off! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance #JonStewart #FuckTrump

Wow -- Ken Paxton and his team abruptly shut down a news conference and bail after journalists try to ask him about his various scandals

When confronted by a terrified citizen demanding accountability after their car was rammed, a masked ICE goon hiding behind a generic "POLICE" patch barked back: "I don't have to answer any questions, ma'am."

Pete Hegseth's opening statement to Congress is quickly interrupted by a protester who yells about the "illegal war" and blood being on his hands

Hegseth is interrupted by a second, third, and fourth round of protesters in quick succession
