If you want some positive news today, read this thread. Trump is now on board with helping Ukraine. Wonderful news
WSJ: Trump decided to give Ukraine not 2, but 5 Patriot systems — after seeing Russia bomb a maternity hospital in Kharkiv and a residential block in Kherson (killing a 1-year-old). He immediately called Merz on July 11 and made the offer. 1/
The baseball trade deadline is one of the best times of the year
It’s that time of year again where baseball fans everywhere turn on their Passan notifications. Great time of the summer
The New York Mets have acquired left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, sources confirm to ESPN. First on the deal was @martinonyc.
The MAGA uproar over Epstein is about more than Epstein himself. It's about a movement that promised to destroy the establishment, becoming the establishment. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/23/opi…
While the Trump Administration is uniquely horrible, the Biden Administration did plenty wrong including "refusing to care about atrocities and horrors that, in any other administration, would be earth-shaking."
The Epstein situation shows how the real crisis of the Trump administration is not any specific wrongdoing, but way our institutions are simply refusing to care about atrocities and horrors that, in any other administration, would be earth-shaking.
This was one of the most heartwrenching/heartwarming retirement stories you will hear

Many people are saying that Steve Witkoff is the worst US foreign policy negotiator in recent history. These same people are pointing out that Witkoff has no experience negotiating international diplomacy and it was obvious he’d be rather useless from day 1.
🚨🚨Crisis in the Gaza ceasefire talks. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announces that "in light of Hamas' response to the proposal, it has been decided to recall the negotiation team from Doha for further consultations in Israel. “We appreciate the efforts of the mediators,…
This is such a ridiculous take. No, reporting on Trump being named in the Epstein files does not help Trump with MAGA folks that are mad he won’t release the Epstein files.
🤔Counterintuitive take: This WSJ story just might be the best thing to happen to Trump since the Epstein story exploded. For the first time, those who most vocally criticized him/his admins for not releasing enough info, are now rallying to his support. (At least for now... we…
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…
🚨 JUST IN: TRUMP HAS LAUNCHED AS MANY AIRSTRIKES IN FIVE MONTHS AS BIDEN DID IN 4 YEARS. Source: @Telegraph
MAGA populists are losing almost every single policy issue. Now Trump might fire DOJ anti-trust regulators because they are pursuing enforcement against big tech. If any of these MAGA populists still support Trump they are being intellectually dishonest
Scoop: Internal friction with the Justice Dept team that fights monopolies has led to private conversations in the Trump admin about whether to push out some staff in the antitrust division or to work to smooth out the issues, sources told @CBSNews. Gail Slater, who in March took…
Yeah what changed?
🚨BREAKING: A video is going viral showing JD Vance calling for the full Epstein list to be released - on Theo Von’s podcast. Hey JD, what changed? Let’s blast this everywhere before he tries to erase it.
Shane Gillis: "Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died... Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it got deleted..." #ESPYs
This type of victory lap by Greg is far too early A good portion of Trump’s immigration disapproval numbers could be from folks thinking he isn’t deporting enough people. And if those people are just 10% of the survey, then the majority favors draconian immigration enforcement
Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months. Curious what those who say we're in midst of societal backlash to 1965 immigration law think of this

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is very bad at messaging. Attacking red states — where tens of millions of Americans live, and Democrats need to win voters to retake the Senate and White House — only hurts Democrats
Crockett: “These little red states ain’t contributing nothing.”
I am convinced Trump is all over the Epstein files. I wasn’t before Trump started talking about releasing the Epstein files, but the more he opens his mouth the more he shows the world
Trump calls Epstein scandal “bullshit” and says he no longer wants support of “weaklings” who care about it
Curious that none of the challengers dropped out to avoid splitting the vote
#BreakingNews - Expeled Ward 8 DC Council member Trayon White appears headed back to the council. Unofficial special election results show T.White with 29.4% of the vote. Three other challengers split the opposition. Sheila Bunn 24.1%; Mike Austin 23.4%; Salim Adofo 22.1% @wcp
