Good evening. It’s Monday, July 21.

Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) has resigned from the House amid a tight margin between parties in the lower chamber.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I say farewell. To my constituents across Tennessee’s 7th District—thank you. The trust you put in me is humbling. I will look back fondly on my years of serving as your voice in Washington,” Green, who started in the House in 2019, said in a post on the social platform X earlier this month.

There are now 219 Republicans and 212 Democrats in the lower chamber, only a seven-seat difference amid already high tensions between the two parties and the 2026 midterm races in which Democrats seek to take back the House, beginning to heat up.

 
 

A judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from stripping some Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood after Congress and President Donald Trump agreed to partially defund the nonprofit through passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts said in her order partially granting a preliminary injunction that the bill unconstitutionally punishes Planned Parenthood member organizations that do not provide abortions.

The injunction will risk “at most minimal harm—financial or otherwise” to the Trump administration while the lawsuit proceeds, Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote.

A federal judge has sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to 33 months in prison for violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in 2020 by law enforcement during a botched drug raid.

Hankison, 49, was convicted last year of violating Taylor’s civil rights, which could have resulted in a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, handed down the sentence on Monday afternoon.

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department asked a federal judge to sentence him to just one day in prison and three years of supervised probation, noting in a court filing that he “did not shoot Ms. Taylor and is not otherwise responsible for her death.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has terminated an employee after learning she was married to a man who founded an anti-ICE app that puts our immigration officers in grave danger.

Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, revealed to the The Daily Beast on Monday that the DOJ fired her via email Friday morning. She was working as a forensic accountant for the department before her dismissal.

The termination notice cites Feinstein’s lack of candor during an internal inquiry as contributing to her firing.

It might be the most prominent cultural theme of 2025 – Progressive Black Americans with a victim complex relocating overseas. They think they’re escaping oppression only to discover that most of the world has zero tolerance for them and that the US is a far better place than they initially thought.

Francine Villa left the US for Russia in 2020, declaring America “discriminatory” and asserting that she feels much safer in her new home. In a 2020 documentary called “Black in the USSR” produced by Russia Today, Villa criticized the racial evils of America and praised Russia as a “safe place for her to walk the streets”.

The expat is not a stranger to the East; her great-grandfather moved from Virginia to work as an agriculturist in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and her family has lived in Russia ever since. She was born there, but at a young age, her mother moved her to the United States.

A Texan father who moved his family to Russia to escape “woke” America has been sent to the front line.

Derek Huffman, 46, relocated to the small town of Istra, around 25 miles from Moscow, with his wife, their three daughters and their husky earlier this year.

They did this through Russia’s “shared values” visa scheme, aimed at attracting foreigners who reject what Vladimir Putin calls “destructive neoliberal ideology”.

Hollywood stars honored Malcolm-Jamal Warner with moving tributes to “The Cosby Show” actor shared one day after his drowning death in Costa Rica. He was 54.

Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé and Kate Hudson were just a few colleagues who paid respects online to Warner.

“Speechless on this one,” Foxx shared on Instagram Monday with a photo of “The Resident” star. “Rest in power, my brother.”
