It was the third attack in as many days on a power and water facility in Kuwait, according to authorities, which also reported that an oil facility had been hit on Saturday.

Far-left podcaster and Democratic Socialists of America member Emma Vigeland appeared to inadvertently expose the far-left movement's ends-justify-the-means political calculus: Even a "secret Nazi" would be acceptable if the candidate advanced a national socialist agenda. Vigeland, a former field reporter, producer, and commentator for The Young Turks and identified as a DSA member, also co-hosts The Majority Report with Sam Seder. She explained on a separate Vox podcast that she doesn't care if a progressive or socialist candidate has "Nazi" skeletons in their closet. "I am wary of over-focusing on an individual's personal character over their platform. You know, I've said this before. I don't really care if say like Bernie Sanders or AOC go home and they're a secret Nazi, but they go out and they vote for the right things. Like we're talking about politician," the DSA member said earlier this month. Vox host Astead He

Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, whose social media empire promoting wealth, male dominance and misogyny has made them among the world's most polarizing internet personalities, were arrested Saturday in Miami as British authorities sought their extradition on rape and sex trafficking charges. The brothers were taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service on a sealed warrant, placing the United States at the center of an international legal saga that has stretched from Romania to Britain. Britain is seeking their extradition on rape and trafficking charges British prosecutors announced Saturday that they were seeking the brothers' extradition on charges alleging they raped and trafficked women between 2010 and 2017.

The atomic drills were announced Friday, after a joint top-level meeting of the French and German governments near Cologne. "Alongside this work on a shared doctrine, German conventional forces will this year take part in a nuclear exercise of the French military," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz unveiled. He detailed while at a press event alongside French President Emmanuel Macron that a "strategic steering group" established by the leading European allies would continue looking at deterrence in the future, with an eye on Russia. "This is complementary to our nuclear participation and deterrence within NATO, which we still hold to," he added. He also previewed "a maneuver in the autumn held on the initiative of France" - while speaking of the Ukraine war. "We will clarify together what form exactly this participation will take," he said. France is newly positioning itself at the forefront of nuclear deterrence for E

What began as a growing homeless encampment on Manhattan's West Side has now escalated to alleged utility theft, according to the NY Post. According to reports, one resident of the sprawling encampment was seen Tuesday tapping into city electrical lines to power a makeshift shelter near West 34th Street between 11th and 12th Avenue. The camp now stretches roughly a dozen blocks, from 34th Street to 46th Street near the Intrepid Museum, and has become an increasingly visible flashpoint for residents, commuters, and tourists. The NY Post writes that bus drivers and local workers say the encampment has continued to expand over the past several weeks, with tents multiplying and sidewalks becoming increasingly obstructed.

US forces reportedly struck Qeshm Island and the southern Iranian cities of Shadegan, Sirik and Hajiabad, while Tehran retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting US bases and critical infrastructure across Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, according to Bloomberg, citing Iranian state media. The latest escalation could open the door for Israel to rejoin the fight. Itamar Ben Gvir, an Israeli security cabinet minister, told listeners on Israeli radio that he hoped President Trump would strike Iran hard. Iran's latest attacks moved beyond military targets to now civilian infrastructure, which has been troubling. Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity warned earlier today that its power and desalination plants have come under attack for the second straight day by Iranian projectiles. US Central Command described the latest US strikes as seeking to reduce Tehran's offensive capabilities on the Strait of Hormuz that threaten commercial shipping and "swiftly punish" I

In Miller v. McDonald, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the state's elimination of religious exemptions does not violate the First Amendment-protected rights of Amish parents and private schools. The decision imposes significant fines for noncompliance. The Genesis The case stems from New York's 2019 repeal of religious exemptions during measles outbreaks. Three Amish schools and parents, facing more than $118,000 in combined fines, argued that mandatory vaccination conflicts with their faith's emphasis on separation from the modern world, Divine Providence, and moral objections tied to vaccine development (e.g., the use of aborted fetal tissue). They invoked Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972), which protected Amish educational autonomy, and claimed the policy targeted religious practice. However, the Second Circuit upheld the mandate with the precedent of Employment Division v. Smith, a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling that the government gener

The news cycle has brought up the cyclospora protozoan outbreak for weeks but has not told us why America was so ill-prepared for another infectious disease threat. The Scale of the Disaster As of mid-July 2026, the United States is in the grip of the worst cyclosporiasis outbreak in recent memory. The majority of cases are confirmed by multiplex GI pathogen panels like the BioFire FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel which explicitly tests for Cyclospora cayetanensis and has replaced the old stool acid fast stain. The numbers tell the story: Michigan alone reports over 5,000 cases and 102 hospitalizations Ohio has logged more than 1,240 cases Indiana: 320+ cases; Kentucky: 190+; West Virginia: 139 Nationwide, the CDC acknowledges 1,644 confirmed infections across 34 states, with 94 hospitalizations—and that's the official count, which the agency itself admits is a dramatic undercount The source?

Google Opens the Play Store to Its Rivals

News Story Source: https://reclaimthenet.org, By Rick Findlay
For years, getting a rival app store onto an Android phone meant wrestling with sideloading, a process Google wrapped in warnings and friction. That barrier falls on July 22, when Google Play begins hosting competing app stores directly, letting users install them with the same tap that installs any ordinary app. The change comes from a courtroom retreat. Epic Games and Google jointly withdrew their motion to modify the permanent injunction that governs the Play Store, according to a filing submitted July 14 to Judge James Donato. "The Parties respectfully withdraw their Renewed Joint Motion to Modify Permanent Injunction," the notice reads. Google told the court it "continues to comply with the Court's Permanent Injunction, and that it is prepared to launch the remedies reflected in paragraphs 11-12 of the Permanent Injunction on July 22, 2026." Walk back the timeline and the size of the concession comes into focus. A US District Court ordered these ch
