Now the one that troubles me. The California and Arizona Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, which speaks for the lettuce farms, also posted on July 15. That first version called lettuce a leading suspect, argued that Cyclospora has historically been tied to imported produce rather than domestic greens, and — to its credit — noted plainly that CDC had cut national Cyclospora surveillance in 2025 after federal budget reductions. That last point is mine too; it is the whole reason we cannot count this outbreak. The next day the page was replaced under a different byline with a warmer, more sympathetic message, and both of those lines were gone. The tone improved. But the original now survives only on the Wayback Machine. A statement you have to dig out of an internet archive is not a statement the public can still hold you to.
Then Aangad came to the stage. The first question flashed on the monitor: “Which amendment ended slavery?” Aangad answered. Incorrect. “Thirteenth!” Aangad cried on the couch. “I said Thirteenth!”
As this resounding speech echoed in my ears, it occurred to me that it sounds nothing like the heroes of Homer—who, after all, gleefully vaunt over the mutilated bodies of their slaughtered enemies—but a lot like the heroes of Christopher Nolan movies. This tormented, guilt-ridden Odysseus, stripped of humor and wit, seductiveness and cleverness, is a sibling of Memento’s anguished amnesiac, of Batman, of Oppenheimer, men agonized by pasts they wrestle with in different ways. Speaking to the Times on the eve of his movie’s release, Nolan acknowledged how, as he read various translations of the Odyssey, he realized that it was the “ur-text. It’s in everything I’ve done before.”
“He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop,'” said Boucher, who was shaken by what he observed.

Lieberman is smiling with his hand to his ear, Graham is eating a chip while holding the plate in his other hand and looking at a screen (presumably), and McCain is laughing with his fingers intertwined.
PEOPLE could not independently verify the legitimacy of CNN’s video, and it does not show the face of the person on the stretcher, who is under a blanket with their feet sticking out.
"God's noble experiment" is a patriotic phrase often used by American politicians, most notably Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, to describe the creation and ongoing evolution of the United States. It refers to America's founding ideals of democracy, freedom, and equality.
The foregoing considerations and authorities irresistibly lead us to these conclusions: the Fourteenth Amendment affirms the ancient and fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory, in the allegiance and under the protection of the country, including all children here born of resident aliens, with the exceptions or qualifications (as old as the rule itself) of children of foreign sovereigns or their ministers, or born on foreign public ships, or of enemies within and during a hostile occupation of part of our territory, and with the single additional exception of children of members of the Indian tribes owing direct allegiance to their several tribes.
Of course, the 1976 bicentennial was not the first major celebration of the Declaration of Independence. A commission was put together in 1826 to commemorate the Declaration’s 50th anniversary, headed by General Roger Chew Weightman, the mayor of the City of Washington. Weightman invited any living signers of the Declaration, including John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, to attend. Both gentlemen replied that their health was too poor for them to travel, and in an odd confluence of events, they passed away within hours of each other that July 4.
From its opening day on May 31, the exposition already faced challenges to its success. The fair opened with a heavy downpour of rain, causing many fairgoers to leave. However, one man, Jacob J. Henderson had been proud to be the first person to enter the fairgrounds at the 9:00 A.M. opening. He stated that he had been to the Centennial with his parents, and did not want to miss opening day of the Sesqui. Within the first hour, it is believed that less than 250 entered the gates of the fairgrounds.[2] The fair drew a much smaller crowd than anticipated (about 10 million people). Variety dubbed it "America's Greatest Flop" with a loss of $20 million by August 1926.[15] The exposition ended up unable to cover its debts and was placed into receivership in 1927, at which point its assets were sold at auction.[16] Benito Mussolini commemorated the (Excerpt ends here to make you click the link which you absolutely should)
Mortality rates for various forms of cancer, for men and women, from 1930 to 2020. Almost all forms slope downward at various rates, the small exception being a few for men that are mostly flat then dip. The big exception is lung cancer, which climbs like a rollercoaster, peaks, and drops like a rollercoaster. Cigarettes, man.
Among the possible leverage points some are considering is a clause in the meter deal that allows the council to consider “the background and reputation” of the proposed operator. Stonepeak, aldermen have noted, owns an air freight company with a subsidiary that carries out deportation flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That background puts the company starkly at odds, they argue, with policies and values in Chicago that seek to oppose ICE activities.
He dove into helping with The Post’s project, often late at night after a day of teaching and working on his dissertation. He would turn on classical music from YouTube, then look at handwritten 19th-century documents until he found the name he was looking for. “It was just a great way of trying to do the right thing, trying to do something ethical in my downtime,” he said. “When you do find the name, it’s a big rush. But also you know that you’ve done something that’s very meaningful.” The Post’s original story said that slaveholders represented 37 states in Congress. Voyles has made that 38 states — he found an 1850 census demonstrating that Charles Debrille Poston, known as the “Father of Arizona” and its first delegate to Congress, was a slaveholder.
On this recent Thursday in June, their hopes are pinned on Phyllis Wimer, known as Phyllis Killer or Phyllis the GOAT for the many strikes she bowls; Charlene “the Grasshopper” Giles, whose hop gives her some extra oomph as she releases the ball; “Marvelous” Marcia Ness, who describes herself as a “tough old broad,” ready to bowl after recovering from a broken wrist and back; and “Rollin’” Ron Demaree, who grips the lower-left handlebar on his motorized wheelchair to propel himself upward and forward for more power in his roll.
We disagree. We appreciate that drugs and guns can sometimes make for a dangerous mix. We appreciate, too, that the government’s effort to analogize a modern statute addressing drug use to historical laws must be approached with a sensitivity to the fact that many drugs well known today were unknown in early America.

Instead, it asks us to conclude that anyone who regularly uses marijuana is categorically violent and dangerous without any further showing. All based on little more than its current say-so, one at odds with its own regulatory actions. And affording the government that kind of “broad power to designate any group as dangerous and thereby disqualify its members from having a gun” would risk allowing it to “quickly swallow” the Second Amendment.

Shawn McCreesh (NYT live blog) I’m reporting from the White House, where tonight’s U.F.C. match, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern time, is running way behind schedule as the skies threaten to open up. Vice President JD Vance and top cabinet members including Marco Rubio, Markwayne Mullin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Senator Majority Leader John Thune are here. The biggest concern right now is lightning.

“I’ve always felt that it’s not a realistic thing,” he says. “James Bond was written how he was written for a reason. But I was complimented by it. And also, I think, in realistic terms, some markets just don’t go for that. Bond is big all over the world. And [audiences] won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period.” He also believes that changing Bond isn’t really necessary. “Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.” Interview here: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/idris-elba-is-flying-solo
We know that neighborhoods are segregated in terms of race and class. We found that when neighborhoods happen to have people from low- and high-income backgrounds living in the same area, more of these cross-class marriages form. However, the same wasn’t true for interracial marriage.
From Nick Bilton's Wikipedia Page: In 2025 it was announced that Bilton would write the screenplay for a new Martin Scorsese film, starring Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt, set to take stage in Hawaii.[8] Bilton will also produce the film.[9]

I'm not a reactionary—I'm just a right-wing extremist so far beyond the Christian Identity people like that and stuff, that they can't even imagine. I'm so far beyond that I'm a Maoist. I'm an anarchist. I've always been an anarchist. Any true, real right-winger if he goes far enough hates all form of government, because government should be done to cattle and not human beings.[108]
This is, in fact, a key distinction between male and female Zoomers. According to an AP-NORC poll released in 2022, Gen Z men and their Millennial counterparts were only about half as likely as women to “closely follow” news coverage of social issues. And while the rising salience of such causes, including LGBT rights and abortion, have clearly played a role in politically activating many American women, they do not appear to have galvanized men to support Democratic candidates.
The BuzzFeed acquisition is the latest in Allen’s acquisitions. Along with adding the Huffington Post to his portfolio, he’s looking to add the premium cable network Starz. In March, he spent $25 million to acquire an 11 percent stake in the network previously owned by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. Even after the company added a “poison pill” to the contract, Allen remains firm in his belief that he will acquire the network outright.
The Supreme Court has deferred its decision on whether to take up Trump’s appeal twelve times. The most recent deferral was made Wednesday morning.
WaPo headline: RFK Jr. is now handling snakes. What does this mean?
After hearing that the woman had been wrongly detained, the neighbor, who is also U.S.-born and Latino, sprang into action. He picked up the woman’s birth certificate from her distraught mother, who was “trying hard not to cry in front of her grandchildren,” he said. He then made a copy of the birth certificate and brought that to the ICE office. But that still wasn’t enough for the agents. “They said, ‘Oh, we need the original copy…because this could be AI.’” The neighbor tried to convince them, but stopped when an agent raised his voice in anger and said that they would not be releasing the woman.
For much of the last 80 years, the United States has reserved for itself the role of the world’s conscience, meting out punishment with little consultation and even less accountability. Still, the Trump administration’s stance is different. This administration does not claim to have a conscience, and seeks to punish any country or person that aspires to have one.
