Astronaut, physician, and former Navy SEAL Jonny Kim has left NASA after nearly a decade to continue his service in the U.S. Navy.
Kim, a lieutenant commander, will spend the remainder of his military career working in naval aviation training. He became a dual-designated naval aviator and flight surgeon after previously serving with SEAL Team Three on more than 100 combat operations as a medic, sniper, navigator, and point man.
Kim was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2017 and spent eight months aboard the International Space Station in 2025, orbiting the Earth 3,920 times and traveling nearly 104 million miles. He also holds a mathematics degree from the University of San Diego and a medical degree from Harvard Medical School.

This mirrors a similar story from Alabama — Gary Bentley spent 40 years trying to find "Kathy," the nurse who comforted him through open-heart surgery at age 10 while he was in foster care.
He never knew her last name.
His wife finally posted an old photo online, it went viral, and Kathy's own college roommate spotted it and connected them. They reunited in a park, both in tears — proof that a small act of kindness to a child can echo for decades.

A man spent years searching for the nanny who raised him. When he finally found her, he gave her $16,000 and arranged a monthly allowance to ensure she could enjoy the same comfort and care she had once provided him.
A French man captured the hearts of millions online after spending 38 years searching for the nanny who cared for him as an infant in Ivory Coast. His father had been stationed there for work, but when the family eventually returned to France, they lost all contact with the woman who had played such an important role in his early life.
Despite the decades and distance between them, he never forgot her kindness and maternal affection, considering her a “second mother” and promising himself that he would one day find her and express his gratitude.
After finally locating her living a modest life, he traveled back to West Africa for an emotional reunion filled with tears and joy. Wanting to repay the care she had given him, he gifted her 10 million CFA francs (about $16,000 USD), a new car, and arranged a lifelong monthly allowance to support her retirement. The story became a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of compassion and the bonds formed through childhood care.

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Whoopi Goldberg: “Our hearts go out to the family of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, who died after vanishing during a boat trip with friends on the Fourth of July. Right now, it’s an active police investigation that we are watching very closely.”

We’ve been retained by the family of Nolan Wells — a beloved son, teammate and friend who went out to celebrate the Fourth of July and never came home. The wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College was preparing to return for the upcoming football season and would have turned 19 next month. His family deserves answers. They deserve the truth. We will not rest until every fact about what happened to Nolan on Horn Island is brought into the light, and we call on investigators to pursue this case with the urgency and transparency this family deserves.

This holiday weekend, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, I'll be thinking not just about the history of the United States but about our future.
If our generation does its job, then by the time our kids are celebrating the 300th, they'll look back on the decades between these milestones with admiration for how America faced ferocious challenges and once more drew nearer to its highest ideals.
From our family to yours, happy Fourth of July!

California is deploying emergency resources to support Colorado's response to the Aspen Acres Fire.
We know firsthand the devastation that drought and critically dry conditions can bring.
Colorado isn't facing this alone. California stands ready to help.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
