A deadly earthquake in Japan, record-breaking fires across Europe and Oregon, and major developments involving Iran, Russia, and Lindsey Graham's funeral.

A mass shooting at a Seattle food festival left three people dead, Trump asked the Supreme Court to revive restrictions on mail voting, the administration obscured service member deaths connected to Iran, and questions continue to grow around Mitch McConnell’s prolonged absence.

The House passed another Iran war-powers restriction only for the Senate to reject it, the Education Department weakened protections against discriminatory school policies, Republicans referred Jack Smith for prosecution, new tariffs took effect, and the DOJ dropped subpoenas targeting New York Times journalists.

Trump threatened Iranian infrastructure while pursuing a nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia and considering military action in Mali, the House advanced a $1.15 trillion defense bill with $95 billion for the Iran war, and an independent autopsy left the cause of Noah Wells’ death undetermined.

The Iran war has already cost billions as American servicemembers continue to die, Tropical Storm Bertha threatens the Gulf Coast, a judge blocked the deportation of a witness to an ICE killing, and Republicans somehow dragged Olive Garden into their voter-ID crusade.

An attack targeted a federal building housing ICE offices in New York, a judge temporarily halted the proposed Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros. merger, Trump announced new tariffs on Canadian goods, and the confusing Taylor Farms "false positive" story got a major clarification.

A mass shooting in Tucson left nine people critically injured, fighting with Iran escalated again, questions remain around the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, ICE killings and oversight drew renewed scrutiny, and Spain won the World Cup.

Things in Iran continue to be tenuous, while Trump makes waves at NATO, a building makes waves in Midtown, an ICE shooting in Houston sounds a little too familiar, and the Senate tumult continues.

A tragedy in Ohio leads the news, as Maine Democrats have a decision to make, Hamas makes an announcement, and the World Cup continues.

A Coney Island shooting leaves officials with no information, while extreme weather continues nationwide; Mallory McMorrow’s campaign is over; a deadly National Guard shooting leaves more questions than answers in Memphis; and when he’s not threatening a “really long speech,” Trump has now decided to ruin the World Cup.

It’s the 250th anniversary of this silly little experiment we’re running. But it’s also my Grandpa’s 99th birthday. So let me tell you some stories, including one about an underground missile, another about a carving of a sun, and most importantly, another about the world’s best grandparents.

In addition to an update on Venezuela, we’re also talking about a really annoying couple and a really annoying fireworks display, plus some financial dealings that were about on the up-and-up as the disclosure of Mitch McConnell’s current status.

As the Supreme Court continues to drop rulings, a deadly heatwave in France will see some relief before things heat up again and the House is out of session (on a whim).

Fighting resumed around the Strait of Hormuz despite the Iran ceasefire, Venezuela’s earthquake death toll surged past 1,700, the Supreme Court issued major rulings on presidential power, voting rights, and Trump’s legal cases, and Pete Buttigieg revealed his family was subjected to a false CPS investigation.

An update on Venezuela, as well as two ways to help.

Deadly earthquakes devastated Venezuela, the Supreme Court handed down a series of major immigration, gun, and civil rights rulings, Senate Republicans abruptly reversed course on the Iran war powers resolution, and the Reflecting Pool saga somehow got even stranger.

As Trump holds a bipartisan housing bill hostage to disenfranchise voters with the SAVE America Act, one person in America has been given a lifesaving drug and no one knows who it is, plus back-to-back earthquakes rocked Venezuela right as I hit record.

A deadly shooting at a California library was reportedly inspired by Columbine, the Senate finally passed a symbolic war powers resolution aimed at limiting Trump’s authority in Iran, the Supreme Court expanded the government's ability to deny reentry to some green card holders, and a federal judge blocked ICE from making arrests inside immigration courts.

Britain’s Prime Minister resigned, the Senate passed a bipartisan housing bill, two federal judges blocked Trump administration initiatives, the Supreme Court declined to hear a Voting Rights Act case, and Lionel Messi became the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history.

As things in Iran continue (and continue to be confusing), Trump’s posting is becoming more confusing, a Los Angeles fire finally gets good news, while the Reflection Pool… doesn’t.
