List of soldiers killed in Iran war removes most recent four
“Let me explain this absurd ruse: The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire,” Massie wrote on social media. “The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization,” the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, “IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable”…

Trump Puts Words in the Mouths of Dead Soldiers – Mother Jones
There is no evidence that the service members killed, as Trump so confidently claimed, ever said or believed this. It conveniently happens to be one of the exceedingly few talking points Trump has had for continuing an increasingly unpopular war on all his own. And what better device for repeating his excuse than dead Americans who can’t speak for themselves?…

Memphis rallies for progressive Democrat after four fatal shootings by taskforce: ‘Fight of our lives’
Most recently, the death of Tywin Johnson, 20, has begun to spark a reaction by Memphians. Johnson was a musician with no criminal record killed by National Guard soldiers who were responding to a report of a robbery suspect downtown.
While taskforce spokespeople said Johnson was armed, they have refused to elaborate about the circumstances that led troops to open fire on a civilian, and have refused to release video footage captured by a Memphis police street camera hanging almost immediately above the location of the shooting, despite Johnson’s family calling on officials to release the footage. The soldiers were not wearing body cameras…

‘Fear, intimidation, violence’: calls mount to remove ICE from US streets after agents killed two men
“The bystander videos I watched make it clear that ICE agents carried out another extrajudicial public execution in Maine,” Lauren Bonds, the executive director of the National Police Accountability Project, said in a statement.
“It’s clear that the only way to prevent ICE from killing us in the streets is to remove ICE from the streets.”
Congress can do so, she added, by freezing funding to the agency and limiting their jurisdiction…

‘Too cute by half’: Senators brush off Trump’s suggestions for honoring Graham - POLITICO
…So when President Donald Trump suggested in a Truth Social post Monday that the Senate should pass a long-brewing crypto bill in “honor of Senator Lindsey Graham,” it struck a false note to many lawmakers…
In addition to the crypto bill, Trump stoked a competing suggestion — that the contentious GOP elections bill known as the SAVE America Act could be passed in Graham’s memory — by saying he had spoken to the senator about that legislation just hours before his death…

Family pleads for answers in death of young Black man in Mississippi
The main question, according to Crump, is that the group of three friends who traveled with Wells to the island said Wells told them he wanted to stay on the island with a young woman when they left on the afternoon of 4 July. But the young woman has said that Wells got on the boat with the boys.
Crump also said that videos circulating online allegedly show Wells in a heated argument with his friends. The videos could not immediately be verified by Reuters.
Also raising suspicions, according to Crump, is that Wells’s phone was found not with his body, but in the possession of one of the young men who had accompanied him to Horn Island. Wells’s mother tracked it down using Life360, a family-location safety platform, and she said it appears that several social media messages had been deleted from the phone...
