Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

Two brothers from Richmond were the first in their family to go to college, and they both became doctors. Now Drs. Travan and Travis Jasper are home, leading the emergency room at the hospital that serves the same community that raised them. Think about the child in Richmond who walks into that ER and sees these two men running it. That child just saw their own future. Congratulations, Doctors. Keep leading. We are proud of you.

The plane carrying the #Uruguay national team is unable to enter the United States for the #2026WorldCup due to missing permits. Uruguay's trip to Miami, where they are set to play Saudi Arabia in their opening match tomorrow, has been delayed. This World Cup is an absolute disgrace. You are responsible for this, @FIFAWorldCup.

Ghislaine Maxwell confirmed 29 of Epstein's associates received secret deals with the DOJ. She offered to name all of them. Her asking price: clemency.

John Mendoza Jr. had just completed his freshman year at Texas State University and returned home for the summer. Instead of celebrating his future, his family is now mourning his loss after he was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy in his own garage. His loved ones deserve answers, and the public deserves transparency. My heart is with the Mendoza family as they seek truth, accountability, and justice.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “According to the NYTimes, the USPS has proposed a new rule that would allow it to REFUSE to deliver mail ballots in states that don’t turn over voter rolls to the federal government. That vaguely written rule released last week calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that postal service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. And if states refuse to comply, the post office could refuse to send their mail ballots. Can you imagine postal workers deputized by the Trump administration just refusing to deliver mail ballots to Californians? What about states that comply? Imagine postal workers at some place reviewing a state’s voter roll to determine who can vote and who can’t? Its unconstitutional, its chaotic, It’s maybe the wildest attempt yet to interfere in free and fair elections, short of course, of using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats for generations around the world.” 😳

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation. Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago. Think about that. First came Obama's agreement. Then Trump tore it up. Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.

BRENNAN: But there is a crisis with those weapons stockpiles right now HEGSETH: No there is not. That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle BRENNAN: You have testified to it in front of Congress HEGSETH: You don't have to read back to me what I testified

WaPo is still searching for new ways to suck up to Trump. This is really disgusting. Support independent, pro-democracy media. Start with Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Notice how almost EVERYTHING inside Obama’s Presidential Center bears someone ELSE’S name: The Eleanor Roosevelt Garden The Nancy Pelosi Pavilion The Nelson Mandela Skyroom The Ann Dunham Water Terrace The list goes on… REAL leaders don’t feel diminished by sharing the spotlight 💙

BREAKING: Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. Israel is bombing residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut. A ceasefire that still allows bombs to fall on civilians is not a ceasefire.

BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number. 84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable. Think about that. Not 84% of Democrats. Not 84% of Republicans. 84% of Americans. The breakdown was even more striking: - 82% of Republicans - 80% of Independents - 90% of Democrats Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General. The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust. It's validating distrust that was already there. And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.

BREAKING: New polling shows Democrat Mary Peltola leading her Republican opponent by 5 points in Alaska’s critical Senate race. Republicans would have a complete meltdown if they lost this race. Let’s make it happen.

For 27 years, Republicans and Democrats came together to honor women in uniform at Arlington. This year, the ceremony was canceled after military branches cited Trump’s anti-DEI order. Women veterans do not need Donald Trump’s permission to be part of American history.

JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University: “If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

#BREAKING: Leah Litman: “I think we should all be concerned with how the Trump administration is using antitrust law. Earlier you referred to this as Paramount Skydance. That was the product of another merger that the Trump administration allowed to go through, and what happened there? Well, first, the merger ONLY HAPPENED AFTER Paramount agreed to settle a lawsuit that CBS was involved with in litigation against Donald Trump and as a result of that settlement, CBS, now Paramount, paid money to Donald Trump. What happened after the merger? Well, all of a sudden CBS now provides much more favorable coverage to Donald Trump, with one former CBS employee suggesting that the new head of 60 Minutes, @bariweiss, personally intervened to ensure the stories were more favorable to Donald Trump, and in fact, the merger only went through after CBS agreed to cancel longtime Trump critic Stephen Colbert’s popular late night show, and so we ALREADY have pretty concrete evidence that this administration is using antitrust law and the possible approval of mergers as a way to extract personal gain for the president and more favorable coverage for the administration. That’s a very serious first amendment concern because we rely on the media as an an important institution that will hold the president and the executive branch accountable.”👏👏

🚨 ¡LAMENTABLE LO DE FIFA! ❌🌎 Ya son TRES los futbolistas que han sido frenados o llamados al orden por intentar responder preguntas en español durante este Mundial. 🇲🇦 Achraf Hakimi quiso ayudar a un periodista de TV Azteca que le preguntó en español. El momento fue incómodo porque de inmediato lo corrigieron, aunque el marroquí mantuvo la calma y respondió en inglés. 🇧🇷 Vinicius Jr. pidió que le formularan la pregunta en español ante las dificultades para entender el inglés, pero la solicitud fue rechazada. 🇳🇱 Frenkie de Jong también mostró disposición para contestar en español cuando fue consultado en ese idioma. Sin embargo, nuevamente se le indicó que debía responder únicamente en inglés. Resulta incomprensible que en una Copa del Mundo, donde conviven decenas de culturas e idiomas, se limite la comunicación de jugadores que están dispuestos a atender a la prensa en español. El fútbol es global. Obligar a que todo pase por el inglés no lo hace más internacional, sino menos inclusivo.

California’s voting rules help ensure eligible voters are not disenfranchised. And, ironically, they also help catch any illegitimate ballots that shouldn’t be counted — exactly what Trump and his allies attack the state for not doing enough on. bit.ly/3Q7fe9C
