The tech billionaire who runs the U.S. Forest Service called excessive resources including aircraft to protect his mega-ranch from a small fire, while over 40 uncontained wildfires raged across the country.

This plan to undercut Montana ranchers by importing cheap foreign beef is a slap in the face to the people that work hard to keep our country fed. This is the exact opposite of what producers on the ground in Montana are telling me they need from our federal government.

President Donald Trump on Friday morning said the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported over the next three months without being subject to out-of-quota tariffs. Trump also said, “We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices.” Learn more: cnb.cx/4xOfKcI

Donald Trump Jr. helped take an online retailer known as the “Amazon of guns” public last year. Now, GrabAGun, where Trump Jr is a shareholder and board member, could reap a windfall from lax gun laws.

@NYTimes reports the Trump admin is scrapping 3 dozen federal gun regulations. This decision has consequences for decades to come as guns are durable goods that can last up to 100 years. Today's repeals shape gun mortality for generations. 🧵 nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/po…

When DV victims called 911 for help, they would routinely get evicted. This was the standard in multiple states if they called 3 times or more. Known as “nuisance ordinances” b/c YES these laws categorize dv victims as “nuisances.” Change happened bc a Black woman challenged it.

And in the wake of Dr. Cerina Fairfax’s murder, it’s high time for Virginia to change its laws. Even if you want to divorce your spouse immediately, you can’t. Some states force you to stay married for a yr before you can even file for divorce. This is antiquated and dangerous!

Women face a 75% increased risk of domestic violence when attempting to separate from their partners, per @EndingViolence. Across the the world, the greatest threat to any woman's safety is her partner — by an astonishing margin. May it not be overlooked in today's reporting.

I’m sorry I use slurs. I’m sorry I was bigoted. I’m sorry I blamed women for rape. I’m sorry I was homophobic. I’m sorry I said Black people are cheap. I’m sorry I celebrated pissing on corpses. I’m sorry I voted for Susan Collins. I’m sorry I got a Totenkopf tattoo. I’m sorry I called rural voters racist. I’m sorry I said “all cops are bastards.” I’m sorry I endorsed political violence. Vote for me!

It’s 1989. You are a drunk teenager putting out a cigarette before going to a music club in Chicago. As you enter you hear a new kind of raw music that instantly blows you away. It’s Nirvana. You never heard of them. They are still two years away from their Nevermind breakthrough. It’s a concert of a lifetime. You still tell your kids about it frequently. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded. Or so you thought. Unbeknown to you a Chicago live music enthusiast, Aadam Jacobs, took his tape recorder to the show and recorded the whole thing (as he has done 10,000 over a quarter century). The tape has been digitally cleaned up and is yours to enjoy online now for free. Make sure to share this with every single member of Gen X you know: archive.org/embed/ajc00795_n…

‘Americans at heart’: ICE detains DACA recipient on way to visit premature baby in NICU

Juan Chavez Velasco’s case reflects a growing pattern: The Trump administration is targeting Dreamers who once believed DACA shielded them — and letting their renewals expire unanswered.
