Here is the GPL News Brief for July 24th 2026:Here Is Today’s Stories:DNC committee sets up South Carolina to vote first in Democrats’ 2028 presidential primariesOpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an ‘unprecedented’ hack of another companyOpenAI Models Escaped Containment and Hacked Hugging FacePembroke Pines pill pusher convicted in Broward oxy conspiracyMeasles Cases Hit New Record in U.S., as Vaccination Rates WaneC.D.C. Expands Cyclosporiasis Outbreak to Nine StatesKen Paxton is a titty baby.Ken Paxton is a titty baby pt. II (from 2022)Ken Paxton is a titty baby pt. IIIKen Paxton walks out of press conference, avoids tough questionsDonald Trump will not oppose the extradition of the Tate brothers to the United Kingdom, according to the White House.Actually…..I was wrong. Benjamin did not want the turkey as the national bird….but now everyone knows I love musicals. lololololololI googled before I finished editing….but the random aside still works so I kept it. But here’s how we got this story….“One of the most popular Thanksgiving-related myths in American history is the notion that Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey as the national symbol of the United States, over the bald eagle. This story gained popularity in November 1962, when the New Yorker featured a cover illustration by Anatole Kovarsky of the Great Seal of the United States with a turkey in the place of the bald eagle. That same decade, the musical 1776 premiered on Broadway, and featured a song called “The Egg”, where Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams compare the birth of a new nation through the Declaration of Independence to an egg hatching. This launches a debate over which bird should symbolize America: John Adams calls for the eagle, Jefferson for the dove, and Franklin (of course) for the turkey. How did we come to associate the symbolism of the turkey with Benjamin Franklin, and is there any truth to it?”The True Story Behind a DNA Test, a Family Reckoning, and My Grandfather Charles MansonTrump hails Dodgers as ‘one of the great brands’ during White House visitCBS NFL analyst Tony Romo arrested on suspicion of OWIBarack Obama surprises WNBA All-Stars ahead of practice in Chicago: ‘I could not be a bigger fan’Former President Barack Obama surprises WNBA All-Stars at their practice at his Presidential CenterLeBron James signing with Philadelphia 76ers, marking his record 24th seasonLeBron’s Final Decision Is a Massive Plot Twist for the NBAThose are your headlines for today.

(Seriously).Just Between Us GirlsI don’t want to keep bringing this up on our the pods — so I’m adding a new section. It’ll stay down here where I can crash out real fast but not bore y’all with my hot sports takes. If you see it, great, but this is just between us girls….…..that girl on the Fever is a problem. And not a good one either. This girl has never won a big championship, isn’t even number one in what she is suppose to be great at (three pointers), and is the most flippy floppy cry baby in the league. Her white tears is going to get someone harmed. There are players who get racially attacked for playing tough basketball + her flippy flopping. The W is hella physical. And all you CC protectors keep showing your asses by not realizing the W is way more physical than the MNBA. And she can say all day she is not a racist…but the thing is, racists thinks she’s a racist… And don’t get me even started on Sophie.She doesn’t need security, she doesn’t need to go to Europe to be treated like royalty, hell, she doesn’t even need a shoe. What she needs to do is grow the fuck up, take ownership of her fans doing and saying vile shit in her name, and get in the lab and become an actual good well-rounded basketball player so she doesn’t have to rely on fouls and risk getting technicals. Warning: Adult Language MJ in the beginning of his career wasn’t big and got pushed around a ton on the court. You know what an actual GOAT did? He got in the gym and got bigger. She is not your Larry Bird. Or the female MJ. She’s not even the face of the league, no matter how much folks try to say she is.She is the female version of Christian Laettner. And I Hate Christian Laettner.If whiteness is important to you, but you want to root for a better all around player, that other players actually like and love to play with, who has actually won a National Championship, can I interest you in one of my favs, and the face of my team, Paige Bueckers. She is bad, man. And she is so much fun to watch. You can support better, so why not do it?Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Still are confused about why what this lady does is a problem?I have a book recommendation for that.xx JalonRecent Other GPL Newsletters (in case you missed them)The Latest GPL Podcast Episode Is Up!Watch it anywhere you listen / watch this podcast.👇🏽We’re Also On Youtube!We also post these on our Youtube Channel!Other GPL GoodiesGet Pod Local: The Podcast (Season 2!) with Joey and JalonJoey and Jalon sit down with Politicians, Community Leaders, and movers and shakers making a difference.
