Elon is back. Military brass firings. "Super Intelligence" CEOs making frequent executive visits to the WH. Congressional recess. New mail in voting rules being exploited. All right before the elections. You'd think they were up to something.

They will be more tired, more distracted, and less effective. I'll bet whoever gave the order couldn't hack it in the field without a chair. TSA officers now not allowed to sit down while checking boarding passes and IDs - ABC11 Raleigh-Durham share.google/lpw9oDcz504k...

Trump: "The EU needs to pay more for its own security! The US is tired of footing the bill!" Also Trump: "We are permanently taking over security duties for Greenland!"

And scene.

Just a reminder: If russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, we lose our homes. Our land is occupied. Our people are killed. Our children are taken. Our language, history and identity are erased. For russia, this is a war of choice. For us, it’s a fight to exist.

"Please come train your replacement, do it flawlessly across all elements of the spectrum, and do it for pennies on the dollar." I hate where this is going. I *like* editing and post.

What if a bunch of us got together and formed a kind of "health insurance collective." We'd elect a board periodically, pay into the system, use it to negotiate down price, & get our care paid for without claims denied. A kind of "medical care for all." We'd be in control. Just spitballing here.

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

Say it with me It is not USPS nor the Fed government's job to manage elections. In fact it is unconstitutional for them to do so, or to interfere. There is no nuance here. USPS whistleblower describes new plans for voting by mail hidden from the public | CNN Politics share.google/Ye5eOiNpt9so...

When the order came to abandon ship, Doris Miller didn't. He stayed and pulled men out of burning water. He was 24 when he was killed. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

An unacceptably high failure rate, with the consequence of innocent dead people. There should murder and accessory charges ALL THE WAY up the chain. And I can't believe the other shootings only happened in January. Life in slow motion. www.cnn.com/2026/07/14/u...

We lost a family friend, and an incredible force for good in Denver yesterday. Please donate if you can to help support her children if you can. Thank you so much. www.gofundme.com/f/supporting...

So we're getting the most boring world cup show down. 4 of the biggest teams in the world. No more upsets. No more underdogs. Fairly certain this comes down to Argentina and France, which France should win, but I suspect FIFA may be in it for the Argentines.

Anyone else feel like this whole tournament is rigged for Argentina? #worldcup2026

First year without either of these two. Lost Thistle 5 years ago tonight, and Willow earlier this year. Hits too hard. Never really gets easier. I miss you girls.

I really do think Egypt got done dirty. Some calls at least deserved review. #worldcup2026

#Cigna screwing me over on coverage by taking my money but denying claim saying I don't have coverage. They make the system so convoluted. I'm tired of them, #Anthem, and #UHC. Even with the ACA, the system doesn't work. Shut out the insurance companies & give us #singlepayernow

Way better commentary with England-DR Congo. Equal praise...just good football. #worldcup2026

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

Really not appreciating the commentators' clear bias toward Norway against Ivory Coast. #worldcup

He can't protect a reflecting pool. How can he protect the strait of Hormuz?

Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

So. About Iran's nuclear program.....

Trump can't end the war he started. He can't bring peace. He can't "keep us safe". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A *FAILURE*.

A large military + strong alliances prevents war. One without the other doesn't. We've run this experiment before. We know how it ends. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Hey friends, I’m alive, but very, very tired. I don’t even have the energy to get up today. This night hit hard. Again, Kyiv was one of the main targets. From late night until 7 am, it just kept going. russians sent everything they could at us - Many ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, shaheds.

This is in my neighborhood. They keep saying they'llimplement saftey improvements (as they do again in this article), then keep putting them off. Perry needs improved safety badly. Meanwhile, Moneybags Sloan's Lake gets everything they ask for. The redline is real. www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

If we fail to turn over Congress this election, we are over. They will celebrate it as their greatest mandate. They will make the last 2 yrs look mild. I am not overreacting. Your chances of poverty increase, your chances of being arrested & imprisoned. Your chances of disappearing. Vote or die.

How does excusing himself and his family from anything tax related make America great, again, How does that lower food & gas prices, or make our streets safer, or stop Iran from getting nukes? Explain it to me like I'm 5.
