Sorry, I meant the Day 2s are on Monday

@tjreidpoker The schedule for the August WSOPC @harrahsresort Atlantic City stop is from last year. Dates on the structure sheets are all 2025. Everything is off by one day - Main Event and Mini Main Day 2s are on Tuesday, there aren't any tournaments listed on the first day, etc

[Nick Johnson @njohnson86]

@tjreidpoker @WSOP Will there be another Baltimore stop?

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

#Rafah: After months of repeated displacement in other parts of #Gaza, people are returning to massive destruction.

Homes, hospitals, schools, including UNRWA premises - no place has been spared.

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

That’s the problem. The ceasefire Israel/Hamas just agreed to is identical to the one proposed in May, which Hamas also agreed to. This means Biden let tens of thousands of people die because he was unwilling to use his leverage to pressure Israel to end the genocide.

[Matthew Keys @MatthewKeysLive]

"They got notifications yesterday that their homes probably burned to the ground...but, the good news is, I'm a great-grandfather as of today."

And, with that, the press briefing with President Biden on the Los Angeles wildfires was concluded.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

We really went from “Israel wouldn’t attack a hospital” to Israel relentlessly attacks hospitals so much that most of the media ignores it’s even happening.

“Decrying Trump’s threat to our norms and institutions was a message that resonated primarily with Americans who respect them in the first place ⁠– not disaffected voters convinced, justifiably, that the wealthy and well-connected really run the show in Washington….”

I wrote about the election. More to come. https://t.co/kr7z6To5xV

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

Dem candidate is popular with young men: “ugh, bernie bros!”

Dem candidate sinks with young men: “ugh, what do you want to hear??”

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Can someone please explain to me what exactly it is that young men want to hear from VP Harris that she’s not already saying? And please be specific. I want to hear *exactly* what you’d have her say to them.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

The attacks on Coates for daring to say that Israeli apartheid is simply wrong are strategic. He has more clout, credibility, and financial security than most people willing to say this. His critics intend for him to pay a steep price to discourage others from following suit.

[Shahana Hanif @ShahanaFromBK]

It’s clear that Mayor Adams can no longer effectively serve New Yorkers. I stand with my colleagues in calling for his immediate resignation.

[josh @y0cuando]

I wonder if there is a word for an attack whose primary aim is to create fear among the population rather than achieve an actual military objective

[aaron from queens 🇵🇸 @aaronnarraph]

NYPD followed an alleged fare evader, tried to tase him, and then:

> shot him
> shot another cop in the abdomen
> shot a woman in the leg
> shot another man AND GRAZED HIS HEAD

[Benjamin Dictor @BenjaminDictor]

I think we need an immediate, all-out public opposition to Shapiro right now. We don’t want to gut public schools, we don’t want corporate tax cuts for the wealthy, we believe in free speech on campuses. Shapiro is a liability to all of that and will kill the Harris momentum.

[Nick Johnson @njohnson86]

This reads like it came from the Bush administration circa 2003. “Unpatriotic protestors”???

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Read my full statement on the protests in Washington, D.C. yesterday.

[Michael Sainato @msainat1]

Seven major labor unions, the UAW, AFA, SEIU, NEA, APWU, UE, and IUPAT have called on the Biden Administration to halt all military aid to Israel

[Nick Johnson @njohnson86]

@TomJipping @Dreamweasel @brianstelter @jonathanchait What does “absolute immunity from criminal prosecution” mean to you?

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

You can't simultaneously argue that 2024 is an existential event in which democracy is at stake and that it's acceptable or desirable for the Democrats to nominate a candidate who can't communicate and has to be hidden from public view. It's absurd this is even a conversation.
