GIGGLE ZERO
Twenty-five years later the names still get read. The families still fold in half. And New York's first Muslim socialist mayor and AOC still found something to giggle about while it happened.The camera cut from a man with his face buried in his arms to Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez leaning in, smiling, then laughing as relatives kept reciting the dead. They treated the reading like a side conversation at a fundraiser. Tomorrow both of them will still have their jobs. That is the 25th anniversary in 2026: the dead get their two hours, the living get their careers, and the rest of us get to watch the difference.

DIVIDEND IN DALLAS
Last night at the first-ever GOP midterm convention, evil Trump proposed a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen — if Republicans hold the House and Senate in November. Price tag: 1.3 trillion. Critics aren't entirely wrong about the size. They're missing the mechanism.

FINAL EXIT
Jurors break their silence in the Lindsay Clancy case, Stella Parton speaks out on why Dolly kept her cancer diagnosis private, and podcast pioneer, Adam Carolla reveals (again) he's leaving CA

BOLDLY GO
The Hail Mary that isn't even legal. Lindsay Clancy's attorney appears on GMA and asks President Trump to consider issuing her a pardon. Meanwhile we were promised a better future 60 years ago today when the first episode of Star Trek aired on TV.

MISTRIAL
Cable drew the map before the jury finished the first hour. Team Mental Health versus Team She Knew. Men versus women. Meds versus murder. Every chyron hungry for a scoreboard. The jury, hung at 11-1, just refused to pick a jersey.

PICK YOUR FUTURE
On the day that Elon Musk rolls out fully autonomous cyber cabs in Austin, TX, Bernie Sanders unveils his "Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act." Same day. Same country. Two completely different ideas of who should be in charge.

3 KIDS DEAD. 2 SIDES DRAWN
Day 5 of the Lindsay Clancy trial and the jury in Plymouth is still hung. The cable chyron wants a left-versus-right score, a men versus women divide. That is a child's map of a tragic massacre.

LAID TO REST
Dolly Parton's private funeral was Friday- An American original, she was humble to the end, no circus, no politicians working the rope line. Elsewhere: Trump is squeezing Iran, where a hardliner dropped dead in mid-speech on Saturday night. It's bad omen energy you can't script.

LOVE SHACKS
Some absolute legend (or pure chaos agent) strolls into an L.A. City Council meeting and drops the proposal of the century: "Free Hygienic Sexual Relief Programs" for the unhoused. Not showers. Not condoms, but Full-service, city-funded, hygienic relief. Because apparently tents, fentanyl, and open-air everything else just weren't complete without taxpayer-sponsored climax care!

ROYAL PAINS
Bored with avocado toast & gratuitous Netflix checks in Montecito, Prince Harry & Meghan have decided the UK needs their special brand of drama injected straight back into the royal bloodstream. After spending years casually implying the entire country is a racist hellscape, they're packing up the kids and their victim complex for a triumphant return!

HOLLYWEIRD
L.A. sidewalks just got a whole lot more… hospitable. The L.A. City Council voted 10-3 to yank the anti-camping bans from a dozen spots across Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Echo Park. Urban campers are officially invited to roost, stretch out, and make themselves at home! Meanwhile, in Sacramento, the CA Energy Commission doesn't need your permission, your vote to impose the USA's first mandatory efficiency standards for replacement tires.

TIRE TYRANNY
The California Energy Commission votes unanimously to regulate replacement tires! By 2033 the rules wipe out roughly 70% of the tires currently on the shelf. This is the same playbook that turned CA into the high-cost totalitarian socialist showcase: endless new mandates, less competition, everything more expensive than anywhere else.

CHEERLEADER DOWN
Hayden Panettiere—Claire Bennet, the unkillable cheerleader from Heroes, Juliette Barnes from Nashville, Kirby from Scream—found unresponsive in a Greenville, South Carolina apartment Sunday afternoon. Age 36. She'd been open about the long war with alcohol, opioids, postpartum depression, the "happy pills" that started it all as a teenager.
