I'm sure the trainers that helped him as he breathed heavily in their faces are thrilled to hear this.

[ESPN @espn]

Noah Lyles, who earned a bronze medal in the men's 200m final, told NBC that he tested positive for COVID after he didn't feel well on Tuesday.

Lyles isn't sure if he will run in the 4x100m relay final, but he said the Americans have the speed to run the race without him.

What. A. Race!!

COLE HOCKER IS AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST 🥇🇺🇸🤯

Boy it feels so much better coalescing around a qualified, brilliant, capable, invigorating, and historic nominee than it would to coalesce around a 78 year old diminished, felonious, low-energy coup plotter who incited a terrorist attack.

RFK Jr. looking for a quid pro quo to serve with a candidate in Trump who he publicly decries? Doesn't get any more unprincipled and corrupt than that.

[Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1]

NEWS: RFK Jr. engaged in talks last week with Trump about a job with a medical and science portfolio in a second Trump administration AND endorsing Trump, per multiple sources. Trump campaign did not accept offer. w/@michaelscherer: https://t.co/cLW0RjjScu

Thank you, Joe Biden. You prevented a Trump second term, saved countless lives by beating down the pandemic, and improved people's lives in many ways. You'll again be responsible for preventing a Trump second term and paving the way for the first black woman president.

[Sean Thompson @seanathompson]

Thank you to all the Biden campaign staffers who put in months of ridiculous time and effort in pushing this campaign forward. Your efforts are consequential toward a Democratic victory in November.

[Sean Thompson @seanathompson]

Okay, let's bleeping go and win this thing.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

This speech is a pathetic, incoherent mess from a man who is clearly diminished and every journalist who criticized Biden’s debate performance needs to say that

[Sean Thompson @seanathompson]

He's clearly high on his own supply, going off promoter because he's not convinced he has to stay on script, like he does when he's worried and trying to project "presidential." He thinks he's got this election in the bank.

[Sean Thompson @seanathompson]

I've got the perfect use for the kotex on his ear...

He's glistening 🤢🤮

"They used Covid to cheat." The usual lie, not in the Big Unity Text.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

A reminder that Dana White was caught on film slapping his wife and is still lauded by the right and speaking at the RNC. Hulk Hogan's ex wife accused him of domestic abuse as well. And VP candidate JD Vance has said that women should stay in abusive marriages, so.

Figuring out when to have a loved one live in a nursing home, and having the accompanying emotions, is tough. There's no checklist or guide to direct you (trust me, I looked). It's on caregivers to figure it out. Read this if you're going through it https://t.co/FSucZtUUiF

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

Trump basically saying that he will not accept election results if he loses, because he believes the only fair outcome is when he wins.

[Sean Thompson @seanathompson]

At least one Iowa news outlet knew how to accurately headline this story about Triple M's shameless conspiracy theory peddling.

[Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLine]

New from @rushthewriter: Without any evidence, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) told a national TV audience that President Biden was on drugs and then doubled down on the claim.

His love for the game and life was absolutely contagious. Great player and maybe the only instance of a broadcaster where I would watch games just because he was calling them. RIP.

Hall of Fame center Bill Walton has died of cancer, the NBA announced. He was 71.

In undergraduate, I worked with two actual poets who were at the writer's workshop. Complaining about Iowa City was their favorite thing to do at work. We moved boxes of documents into the basement of the library all summer. The OG Tortured Poets Department.

Good to see another set of steps taken to move toward a science of reading based approach to literacy instruction in this state.
