I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
Zelensky speaking the truth. The US is now a Russian ally, and the Starlink decision is a massive benefit for the Russian military (and it has nothing to do with Ukraine attacking Russian refineries).
The US is literally riding to Putin’s rescue.
Zelensky told Piers Morgan that Ukraine feels betrayed and fears it is losing the US as a strong partner. “We are not selling our country. This is not business for us. This is our life, our country, our home, our children,” he said, adding that Ukraine cannot afford to be weak. #Ukraine

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran.

Beshear criticizes Mitch McConnell for not at least putting out a proof of life video, and John Thune for not caring that McConnell apparently doesn't the capacity to work anymore
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
18th July 1973, Bruce Springsteen began a legendary four-night residency at Max's Kansas City in New York City. His opening act was Bob Marley and the Wailers, who were embarking on their first-ever North American tour. #BruceSpringsteen#BobMarley
Nineteen years ago, Lionel Messi bathed a baby named Lamine Yamal for a charity calendar. Some call it football's most famous blessing. Others say it sounds like the plot of the perfect movie.
Tomorrow, we find out how it ends at the NYNJ Stadium.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure.
Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?
After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot.
And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow.
He's a disgrace to the Court.
Clarence Thomas is set to become the second-longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court. His legacy is marred by ethics scandals that highlight the lack of accountability for justices. It's past time to reform the Court.

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April.
These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion.
The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion.
Wondering if inequality is out of control?

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.
Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators.
No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich.
What a disaster.
The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
