More than 150 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas have been infected with influenza over the past three weeks — less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated against the flu. https://t.co/2lDEzePV2O

Lionel Messi is now Argentina's youngest (18) and oldest (38) scorer at a World Cup.

He scored against Serbia & Montenegro exactly 20 years ago today in 2006 on his World Cup debut.

Now Messi has also scored against Algeria in 2026 on his 200th cap for his country.

Messi is also the third-oldest men's player to score at a World Cup (38 years and 357 days) behind only Cameroon's Roger Milla (42 years and 39 days) and Portugal's Pepe (39 years and 283 days).🇦🇷

This 🧵 is an excellent reminder of why you should get "Last Branch Standing" on your summer reading list

In fact, the decision was unanimous and written by J Kagan:

“The court’s conservative majority generally backs gun rights, and invoked the same federal law in throwing out a novel lawsuit brought by the Mexican government against gun manufacturers.” https://t.co/GLWNNxAW9v

@Schneider_CM Like you weren't ALREADY on that watchlist...

The suffering from vaccination misinformation and disinformation is so sad. But you can do your family and friends a world of good by sharing (not lecturing) solid information... Listen to physician groups like @WisMed, @WIAAP, and other trusted voices.

@BernardGoldberg Always so uplifting when people prove they don't read. Sigh.

@Schneider_CM It's part of the same problem that goes all the way down to the local level. The best example of the constant circle jerk: local Emmy awards. Can you imagine if other 1st amendment folks (lobbyists) got together and awarded themselves trophies?

The egos are insane.

The cluelessness of some "elite" media members is just staggering

[Byron York @ByronYork]

Former CBS correspondent Scott Pelley says he did not expect to be fired after his confrontation with new management. "Oh gosh, furthest thing from my mind. It hadn’t occurred to me...I just didn’t connect the dots." From NYT: https://t.co/8AcHIH4QpG

I fear this is what we're in for: essentially pats on the head

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

That’s a decent effort by USA v Germany. Encouraging despite narrow loss.

JJ McCarthy addressed his recent comments about Kyler Murray:

"We're competing for a job. I'm not going to pretend that I'm happy about it, and I felt like I proved that I was an elite QB last season. I know I'm the future of this organization."

WOAH 😳
