NEW: A judge reluctantly erased the Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy case against the Proud Boys tonight, concluding he had no power to get in DOJ's way. But Judge Kelly, a Trump appointee, made clear he disagreed — and underscored the gravity of the attack. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Kavanaugh only concurred in the judgment on the grounds that legislation but not an executive order can change the scope of birthright citizenship. Today’s other decisions are horrific and on this they were one vote away from rolling back the constitutional status of citizenship back to Dred Scott.

Nineteen russian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Shahed drones are raining down on Kyiv right now. This is horrific. The UNESCO-listed Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra has been targeted. A thousand years of Ukrainian history, faith, and culture are once again under attempted destruction.

GOOD. It would be ironic, given the events of the past 2.5 years, if the far-right Israeli government ends up collapsing because the ultra-far right wing is furious over having to actually SERVE IN THE ARMED FORCES.

Love this shot. I think this is a thermal infrared camera, showing how the bottom of the capsule is still glowing due to its warmth after hypersonically ramming the atmosphere — compressing a gas heats it up a LOT when you're moving at superorbital speeds. #ArtemisII
