Intrepid journalist blows the lid off public release of some files.
Big props to Benny Johnson for breaking the news on this massive release of over 230,000 MLK Jr. assassination files! His quick reporting shines a light on DNI Tulsi Gabbard and President Trumpโs commitment to transparency. Awesome job, Bennyโkeeping us informed and engaged! ๐บ๐ธ
TJ plays a cool track that he's never played during all his years on SiriusXM...spins a hard-hitting rock record inspired by an event involving the Queen Mother and a 1935 Packard hearse and more! Listen today - 5-8pm ET on SiriusXM #60s Gold!
Democrats in Congress, who are spineless and stupid, utterly failed to make an issue of Trump's massive ICE budget. They're about to see the consequences, as he unleashes a complete nightmare.
Again: What Todd Blanche is doing is quite clear. He's going to enter a cooperation agreement with Ghislaine Maxwell so she stops feeding the WSJ damning stories about Trump. It's why they fired Maurene Comey, undoubtedly. emptywheel.net/2025/07/22/truโฆ
The rise of idiot-interviewers like Fridman, Rogan, Von, and the Nelk Boys is very harmful to journalism. They somehow manage to be worse than mainstream media. They are walking PSAs for the importance of reading books.
The NELK Boys โ a Canadian frat-bro YouTube crew turned Trump-adjacent merch empire โ just sat down with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Their intro โ> โI see so much about whatโs going on Israel and Iran and Palestine. And to be honest, I just really donโt know whatโs going on there. Soโฆ
โThey were not comfortable treating me because I am an unwed mother and that goes against their Christian values.โ At a recent town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a woman said her OB-GYN refused to provide prenatal care because she isnโt married.
Over the years I havenโt loved some of the WNBA arguments for higher pay but now itโs pretty simple. If the Vegas Aces sell for $2m in 2021 and are supposedly worth $290-$310m now, why would you expect the players to receive just 9% of the revenue? The Valkyries expansion fee wasโฆ

Today is the fifth anniversary of Michael's passing so, instead of a regular Philosophy for the People essay, I reprinted the introduction I wrote three years ago for @MattPolProf's book on Michael's cosmopolitan socialism, with permission from Matt and the publisher.

WNBA All Stars are at greater risk of injury dancing to Glorillaโs Halftime Show than playing in this exhibition game. #WNBAAllStarWeekend
WNBA All Star game is all scoring, nobody playing defense, no fouls. The women are playing at 3/4 speed and avoiding injuries assiduously. #WNBAAllStarWeekend
CBSโs current seller and future owner are both out in the open far right zionists who donate to the IDF and are hiring Bari Weiss to enforce pro-Israel dogma on CBS News which is already anti Palestine and anti-Muslim but arenโt sufficiently so rn for Larry Ellisonโs nepobaby son
Under a potential deal, Bari Weiss would serve as an "ideological guide of sorts" at CBS News, according to Puck. (paywall) puck.news/was-colberts-cโฆ

What a slap in the face. UPS is offering full-time drivers just $1800 for each year of service to walk away. Most drivers make more than that in a single week, not counting benefits. No union member should accept this.
There are some new postcards in the Trump Tower gift shop.
At a time when we are fighting to protect our democracy, the NYT thinks the most important thing it can do is write hit jobs on progressive candidates.
Erik, you're being overly generous when you say the NYT should "rethink" something here.

SHE IS THE REASON YOU WON'T SEE THE FILE! Attention North Carolina voters: congresswoman Virginia Foxx is the reason you won't know the truth. As chairman of the House Rules committee she shot down a movement to force the White House to release the files. Your thoughts?
