And yet, the administration did not consult Congress about launching the war, as the Constitution requires, and has blown through the 60-day time limit for the use of the U.S. military to counter an “imminent threat” without getting congressional approval. https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-20-2026?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

The journalists’ sources told them that the strikes proved Iranian forces still have plenty of missiles and are becoming more skilled at getting around U.S. air defense systems. https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-20-2026?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

If you think [tRUMP] has accelerated his bewildering, ethics-bending, falsehood-filled conduct as of late, you’re not alone. It is as though he knows — and more importantly, those enabling him know — the clock is ticking on their ability to keep smashing our political and ethical norms. https://open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/trumps-now-selling-the-truth?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Sony will no longer ship physical copies of games, prompting widespread anger from customers at how their ownership rights are being stripped by powerful monopolies. Plus, SpaceX craters... https://open.substack.com/pub/mattstoller/p/monopoly-round-up-video-gamers-rebel?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

...when LA was burning last year, Canada didn't hesitate to step up. Quebec water bombers flew over the Palisades...Ottawa offered 250 firefighters. Alberta prepared night vision helicopters...Now they are the ones in trouble, needing help from a longtime ally. Take a look at how [tRUMP] responded: https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/breaking-republicans-beg-trump-to?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Less than two weeks ago, this same President ordered his Treasury Secretary to cut off all trade with Spain for refusing to join his war in Iran, calling them “hopeless, bad people.” Maybe that’s why Spain edited him out of the official photos they posted. https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/breaking-republicans-beg-trump-to?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Look, the whole reason the FBI investigates these shootings is you cannot let an agency be the sole judge of its own conduct. There needs to be proper oversight on this. Letting ICE police ICE isn’t oversight. It just means they think nobody is watching what they’re actually doing behind the scenes. https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/breaking-republicans-beg-trump-to?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

We learned this morning it wasn’t the 1st time Iran hit our troops in Jordan. In the week before Friday’s deadly strike, Iran launched 3 other attacks on U.S. forces there. Those attacks wounded dozens of American service members & damaged several helicopters...the Pentagon told the public nothing. https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/breaking-republicans-beg-trump-to?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Thursday night, the [tRUMP] went on primetime television and did his groveling about 2020...Nobody was impressed. The materials he declassified didn’t help his case, maybe even hurt it. Fox and Friends, a show that exists mostly to flatter this President, went three hours without bringing it up. https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/breaking-republicans-beg-trump-to?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

“Heat is one of the features of climate change that has already arrived,” said Ruth Engel, a data scientist for environmental health and extreme heat with the World Resources Institute. “It’s not something we need to prepare for 25 years from now. It’s already a deadly health issue now.” https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2026/07/oceans-abosorbing-heat-extreme-weather-heat-waves-land/
