I’m not sure what’s more concerning…
Tuberville not knowing what a white nationalist is or thinking all white folk are white nationalists?

Whoops. Gal Luft, the GOP's new fake Hunter Biden "whistleblower," was just indicted by the Justice Department for arms trafficking, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, making false statements to federal agents, and being an unregistered foreign agent for China.
James Comer and Jim Jordan's sham investigations continue to backfire.

"Tell me this isn’t a witch hunt. Tell me this isn’t an open campaign of terror against already vulnerable citizens who had every reason to believe that their medical records — their medical records! — were confidential and every reason to believe that the medical clinic of a major university hospital was a safe space."

1/Judge Cannon set the date for this Friday's pretrial CIPA hearing on 6/26. Today on 7/10, 4 days before the hearing, Nauta's counsel asked for another date. Most judges would tell him to appear virtually & file a timely motion advising the court of any conflicts in the future.

”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”

3. The letter cites state laws "to protect children," including laws requiring material "harmful to minors" to be removed from school libraries, prohibiting "gender transition procedures on minors," and banning use of a minor's preferred pronoun.

As they did in 2022, relentless Republican attacks on reproductive health care will energize voters — especially young voters — to mobilize and vote to defend their freedoms in 2024.
Republicans will pay a price for their extremism! That's not a threat — it's a prediction. -NP

On this day in 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win Wimbledon singles title.
He was the first black man to win Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open.

Since 1912, Ohioans have used ballot initiatives to amend the state constitution and exercise the freedom to make decisions that affect their lives.
Voting NO in this August’s special election is how voters maintain this effective instrument of democracy. bit.ly/43j8tBT

Remember when Michelle & Barack Obama graciously rescued Melania Trump after Donald humiliated her on the White House steps. That’s how it’s done.

On this 4th of July, 2023, I say this: We are the people the history books will write about, regarding the saving of our democracy.
We are the ones. Let that sink in for a moment.
When the citizens of the future, look back at the history of this country….they will talk about this period of time we are living in….right now.
They will read about how a rogue President sold out the country. How that individual attempted to hijack the nation, for his own personal gain, and how close he came to succeeding.
However, the story will conclude, with this:
“Those who were committed to democracy, came together in a way that the masses hadn’t done since WWII. They organized. They kept their cool, and pushed their fears into the periphery…and forged ahead with tenacity. Their steel like resolve and determination, to be the ones to save democracy in 2024-from what would have almost certainly been the final chapter for freedom-was the turning point. One that allowed for the continuation….of what you’re still enjoying, now, fifty years later, in 2073.”
I hope that while you read this, you feel something close to what I felt…while I was writing it. I do.
We. Are. The. Ones.

You can't understand 1776 if you don't understand 1619. July 4, 1776 when the colonists declared independence, 1/5 of the population of the 13 colonies was enslaved. They would not gain freedom for a century. This, too, is the 4th of July. This, too, is the story of America.
