#CherylReeve having #CourtneyWilliams and other vets support players when they are benched helps those players when they don’t get to play. It also helps that the #Lynx are winning. This is what teams do that win championships. #WNBA #WNBASky

I am LOVING the full on freakout Christian Nationalists are having about Abdul El-Sayed being muslim!!!

Minnesota #Lynx's #OliviaMiles is once again the #WNBA Player of the Month. Remember, she’s a rookie. #WNBASky

Our men and women are getting injured and killed in #Iran. A war that Trump, #JDVance, and #PeteHegseth chose to start. And all #Trump has ever done is golf during both times the American people allowed him into the White House. Don’t you think his drive should be doing better? #Republicans #GOP

Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., has dropped his reelection campaign after the House Ethics Committee released a report alleging he had persistent, unprofessional, and inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers. Rep. Edwards has called the allegations baseless.

Jeez, I wonder how he bankrupted casinos so badly he had to be put on an allowance like an 11-year-old.

Trump's White House helipad project keeps getting stranger. After speeding up construction at extra cost, he's reportedly ordered contractors to tear out completed work because he doesn't like the lawn's slope. It raises familiar questions about waste, favoritism, and who's paying. buff.ly/x90kBZH

JUST IN: Two people have died in Michigan’s cyclospora outbreak, marking the first confirmed U.S. deaths linked to the explosive diarrhea-causing parasite. MAHA

#Lynx secured the victory this afternoon. The game was never really in doubt, even though the score didn’t reflect that. I try not to dislike people in life, especially those I’ve never met. However, I dislike #SophieCunningham and #CaitlinClark. I really wanted to win this game. #WNBA #WNBASky

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend www.cbsnews.com/news/us-isra...

Pope Leo and Patti Smith

not the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES siding with a foreign country we’re currently at war with over a US STATE (that puts more money in than it takes may i add)

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

This is based on Q1 2026. Maybe the right hates California so much because they’re jealous.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. “There are much greater, more important issues.“

I couldn't watch the game tonight, but it looks like the #Lynx effectively carried out their strategy against the #TorontoTempo. They did what they were supposed to do. They won. #WNBA #WNBASky

Are MAGA “Christians” aware that Trump’s name is mentioned in the Epstein Files well over 38K times but Jesus is only mentioned in the Bible roughly 1300 times? Seems weird to me, but then again, I’m just an atheist who actually cares about Trump raping children 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s even weirder than Trump having a personally assigned “diaper nurse” is that everyone in Trump’s orbit knows that’s her job, and they carry on like everything is fine.

Asked about the report yesterday in the Oval Office, Trump said: “That would be surprising. He [Xi] told me he wouldn’t partake. He knows I would be quite disappointed.” WEAK

Iran is expected to receive its first shipment of up to 400 Chinese-made, shoulder-fired air-defense missile launchers within weeks, according to three sources familiar with the deal who spoke to Reuters

Senator Bernie Moreno tried to talk like a tough guy in the Fauci hearing. I have thoughts.

Of course.Here’s what happened:Bondi wouldn’t indict Comey again.Then, she got fired(for all kinds of reasons).Blanche couldn’t indict right away(too obvious), so he waits a few months & says evidence came in - a yr after Comey posted the photo.This'll get thrown out. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...

Trump Demanded Details of Agents’ Interview of Comey, New Filing Says

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is suing Minnesota over a first-in-the-nation law banning technology that allows users to create and post deepfake videos or images of people naked without their consent.

Wow. She really is Trump’s diaper nurse. But why is her diaper bag tethered to the nuclear football?

The #Lynx defeated #TorontoTempo in their first game after the All-Star break. This victory also marked their first home game of the season since Napheesa Collier's return from surgery, receiving a warm ovation from the crowd. #WNBA #WNBASky

NEW: After pressure from the Catholic Church and members of Congress, the Trump Administration has agreed to let Sister Letty Ugboaja remain in the United States temporarily. ICE arrested her while she was walking to Sunday Mass in her habit. The 56-year-old nurse holds valid work authorization.

Shocked to hear of the passing of manager #JohnAnderson. He made great contributions to college baseball, being the winningest manager in #BigTen history. He prepared his players for life both on and off the field. He could have gone to other, more prominent colleges or schools and stayed. #gophers
