Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.
Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped Galina Bobreneva.
“Congratulations, you’ve been chosen for secondary screening,” he told her, according to the couple’s recollection.
Meanwhile, last week Capital One bank submitted sworn testimony to a court that back in 2021 they shut down and closed 385 Trump-owned businesses because their fraud department — and its leader, a man with “extensive financial fraud law enforcement experience” — believed Trump’s businesses were engaging in illegal money laundering and the bank wanted nothing to do with it. //hartmannreport.com/p/how-
On Monday, August 10, Todd Blanche took the oath of office as attorney general, administered by federal appeals court judge Emil Bove, another of Trump’s defense lawyers before moving to the Department of Justice, where he was Blanche’s top deputy. In that capacity, CNN’s Hannah Rabinowitz recalled, he fired career prosecutors and pushed Trump’s takeover of the department.
Using Bove to swear in Blanche looked like a victory lap for the Trump team. Although the press was excluded, two other Trump loyalists, FBI director Kash Patel and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, attended Blanche’s swearing-in.
Retired conservative judge J. Michael Luttig told MS NOW: “Todd Blanche now becomes the symbol of Donald Trump’s corruption of the rule of law in America and the actual ruin of the Department of Justice of the United States. This is another shameful act of acquiescence, if not obeisance, by the Senate Republicans; they will bear this badge of shame the rest of their lives. https://heathercoxrichardson.
my mom died six years ago, a few hours after I sat on the edge of her bed at her nursing home in Georgia and talked with her for the last time. My wife, Alix, and I were staying with my brother and his wife, who lived just down the road. My brother got the phone call not long after midnight. He woke me up, and we went down to the nursing home and walked the dim, quiet hallway to her room. She was in her bed, cold and still. I touched her face. But I didn’t cry.
Records obtained by Seeking Rents show that lobbyists whose clients include Pat Neal of Neal Communities and Carlos Beruff of Medallion Home arranged a private meeting with at least one top lawmaker during this year’s legislative session to object to a bipartisan plan to undo parts of a law known as Senate Bill 180.
Senate Bill 180 was a piece of legislation passed in 2025, ostensibly to help with hurricane recovery, that supporters said was intended to stop local governments from interfering with Floridians trying to rebuild homes and businesses damaged during a big storm. But the year-old law has been weaponized by developers, who have used it to stop cities, counties and towns from protecting wetlands, preserving rural areas, reducing flooding or anything else that could be considered “burdensome” to builders.
That was the average temperature for the lower 48 states in July, according to just-released federal stats, making it the hottest month in American history, 3.3 degrees hotter than the twentieth-century average. As the Wall Street Journal pointed out, Wyoming was the furthest above average for the month. Among other things, this development robs climate deniers of a cherished talking point. July 1936 had been the co-record holder. We understood why—in the words of climatologist Andrew Dessler:
During the early 20th century, aggressive plowing and the replacement of native grasses left Great Plains soils exposed. When drought conditions developed, those degraded soils dried out quickly, reducing evaporation and soil moisture and reinforcing the heat.
Aman in a dark suit steps down from a helicopter into the aftermath of a warehouse shootout. Flanked by machine gun-toting members of his tactical team, he stalks through the carnage. Without breaking stride, he comes to a defeated fighter lying face down, reaching for a handgun, and shoots him at close range. The man stops in front of another fighter clinging to life, causing her to recoil in fear. “Everything’s gonna be OK,” John Oliver says, as the camera eases into focus for his closeup. “I’m here to help.”
The summer television and streaming schedule includes the return of favorites like “Ted Lasso,” “Slow Horses” and (for the last time) “The Bear,” and movies that will wrap up the stories of “Call My Agent!” and “Heartstopper.”
The new shows include a “Big Bang Theory” spinoff featuring Stuart the comics guy (“Stuart Fails to Save the Universe”), a comedy about an aging professional golfer starring Will Ferrell (“The Hawk”) and a stare-down between J.K. Simmons and Titus Welliver (“The Westies”).
Here are 30 shows that might catch your eye, listed in chronological order. All dates are subject to change. https://www.nytimes.com/
“I’m hot headed, with a snub nose, and that’s why I prefer a direct gaze.”
So speaks Sybylla, the charmingly irrepressible and irrepressibly charming heroine of My Brilliant Career, played utterly convincingly and with vim, vigour and joy by Philippa Northeast in the new adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 Australian classic of the same name. Creator Liz Doran must have wept with happiness when they found an actor capable of bringing so much to an already glorious script – and who embodies the joie de vivre upon which so much of the plot, as everyone she meets becomes part of her orbit, depends. https://www.theguardian.com/
