Donald Trump promised a massive deportation plan Thursday night, even larger than the biggest mass deportation in U.S. history: President Dwight Eisenhower’s racist-named “Operation Wetback.” The former president was doing his typical fearmongering, blaming immigrants for any and all of the country’s ills, when he decided to name-drop the thirty-fourth U.S. president. “And bad things are gonna happen, and you’re gonna see it happen all the time,” said Trump. “And that’s why the Republican platform promises to launch the biggest deportation operation in the history of our country. Even larger than that of Dwight D. Eisenhower, from many years ago.”Under...

Donald Trump unleashed so many falsehoods during his nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention that it seemed to overwhelm CNN’s on-air fact checker. After Trump’s appearance Thursday night, CNN’s Daniel Dale ran through a lengthy list of Trump’s lies, having to brush past several on his list because he was running out of time to dispute each baseless claim. During his speech, Trump had claimed that his opponents inherited a world “at peace.”“Trump did not achieve world peace when he was president; certainly wasn’t at peace when he left office,” Dale explained. “There were active wars or armed conflicts in...

The summer of soccer is over. On Sunday, Spain and Argentina both triumphed after late scores, lifting the European Championship and Copa América trophies, respectively. Argentina’s victory over Colombia was marred by off-field controversy, however. As kickoff approached, Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium was overwhelmed by fans: Some had fake tickets, others forced their way in, while hundreds, perhaps thousands, of fans with legitimate tickets never made it into the stadium, even after kickoff was delayed for over an hour. The ugly scenes in Miami raise serious questions about America’s readiness to host the 2026 World Cup. In the sixth and final episode of Owned Goals, hosts Alex Shephard, Miguel Salazar, and Ben Makuch discuss the chaos at the Copa, the upcoming World Cup, and their takeaways from two tournaments that were exciting and frustrating in equal measure.

Every storm runs out of rain, but not every storm gets a name. We remember many disastrous storms on a first-name basis – Irma, Harvey, Sandy, and Katrina are some significant examples from recent years. But how do we determine which storms get names, and where do the monikers come from?

The CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage has left countless disruptions across the world, including the cancellation of more than 2,500 U.S. flights, issues with 911 systems and government agencies, and countless headaches for IT workers.
