The only upside of this clearly politically motivated CBS firing is that Stephen Colbert has 10 more months to say exactly what he thinks of the Trump administration. Turned up to 11.

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador

Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. “We have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even they don’t know," one lawyer said.

Head's up, the "you must confirm your profile" scam is proliferating on the Fediverse. I wonder if they are trying to gather driver's licenses and credit card numbers? It's a scam.

WSJ - Trump’s letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday has the outline of a naked woman, small arcs denoting breasts with a squiggly ’Donald’ signature below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

FT: "Donald Trump is preparing to open the $9tn US retirement market to cryptocurrency investments ..."

Trump is seeking to direct Americans' retirement funds to a sector in which he and his family are heavily invested.

Due to tariffs, Americans are likely to hear a lot about farm mental health as harvest approaches this year. Especially farmer suicide.

So let's get it on the record now. The "farmer suicide epidemic" of the last few years in the US is not real.

It's a lobbying tactic.

Despite measles being declared eliminated in the US in 2000, annual measles cases have reached a 33-year high — and it's only July.

This is the tragic result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation, and will only get worse in the coming years because anti-vaxxers now lead our health agencies.

@luckytran When do schools restart in the US? I dread what will happen then. The holiday camps will mix up kids from various states so nicely spread the disease if they aren't there long enough to eliminate the infection in the camp, then the return to school, oh gosh looking grim, especially if any infant siblings with an outbreak of SSPE in about 7 to 12 years time.

A proportion of people who catch Measles die of it.

This rise in cases is driven, deliberately, by people in and out of public office.

At what point is action taken to prevent one or the group of them murdering another person?

And how furious would the parent of a dead child be if they lost their fixed belief that they had acted sensibly in avoiding immunisation?

After all, they did everything in their power to stop innocent people from dying, right?
