Jayden Adams, a midfielder for South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns, was found dead less than two weeks after competing in the World Cup. Adams, 25, started in two of South Africa’s three group stage matches. He came off the bench in South Africa’s 1-0 victory against South Korea to help the country advance to the knockout rounds for the first time ever. “Jayden had only recently represented South Africa at the FIFA World Cup, carrying the hopes of the nation with pride, courage and distinction,” the South African Football Players Union said in a statement, according to ESPN. “His passing is an immeasurable loss to his family, teammates, clubs, the football fraternity and the country at large,” it added.

President Trump just turned a missing signature into a very loud message for the United States Senate. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law at midnight Saturday without the President signing it. That was not an accident, a missed deadline, or a pocket veto. Trump deliberately allowed the sweeping housing package to take effect while refusing to put his name on it. His reason had almost nothing to do with housing and everything to do with the unfinished fight over election integrity. The immediate result is unusual but straightforward: America has a major new housing law, and the President has made clear that the Senate should not mistake its passage for business as usual. KDKA summarized the constitutional endgame and the protest behind it. A landmark housing bill automatically became law at 12 a.m. on Saturday after President Trump declined to sign it in protest of the Senate's inaction on an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act. https://t.co/y6TquebuwZ — KDKA (@KDKA) July 11, 2026 Under the Constitution, a bill presented to the President becomes law if it is not signed or returned within ten days, Sundays excluded, as long as Congress remains in session. The housing bill reached the White House on June 29. When the deadline expired at the end of Friday, it became law just as surely as if Trump had signed it in front of a row of cameras. He also could have vetoed it. He did not. That is the detail much of the breathless coverage is skating past. Trump allowed the policy to survive while denying Washington the celebratory signature ceremony it wanted. The Associated Press reported that the measure passed the Senate 85-5 and the House 358-32, making a veto override all but certain even if the President had chosen that route. The outlet also detailed the scale of the housing problem Congress was trying to address. White House economists have estimated a national shortage of roughly 10 million homes, while the median sales price reached $440,600 in June. AP noted that the law cannot solve every pressure pushing housing costs higher. Construction-worker shortages, climbing insurance premiums, and wages that have not kept pace with rents and home prices remain outside its reach. Its central bet is that America can ease the shortage by making it faster and less expensive to build. The new law aims to speed construction by cutting federal rules, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing housing programs, and making it harder for large corporations to crowd families out of the single-family-home market. The House Financial Services Committee says the final package contains more than 45 housing provisions, along with nine community-banking measures intended to expand local lending for construction and mortgages. It modernizes Department of Housing and Urban Development programs, reduces regulatory barriers to new building, and restricts certain institutional investors from competing with ordinary homebuyers. The law also blocks issuance of a central bank digital currency through the end of 2030, an important safeguard buried inside a bill mostly sold as an affordability package. The committee’s timeline shows how broad the agreement became. The package grew from years of House and Senate work, passed committee with overwhelming support, and survived multiple rounds of bicameral negotiations before the final 358-32 House vote. Chairman French Hill said the law is meant to put homeownership within reach for more Americans by strengthening community banks and making sure families get a fairer chance against institutional buyers. The Senate Banking Committee’s Republican majority called it the most comprehensive housing legislation of this century. That designation reflects a package built over years, not an emergency measure assembled in a weekend. Chairman Tim Scott said the law attacks the shortage at its source by removing building barriers, protecting taxpayers, preserving local control, and giving more families a chance to own a home. Scott described the package as the product of years of bipartisan and bicameral work, not a last-minute spending bill. His statement tied housing supply to stability, stronger communities, and the ability to pass opportunity to the next generation. He also placed the law squarely inside the Trump affordability agenda, arguing that families need results instead of another round of Washington excuses. The committee’s message was that expanding supply, not building a new federal subsidy machine, is the durable path to lower costs. Those are goals Trump has repeatedly supported. So why keep his signature off the page? Because the Senate is still sitting on the SAVE America Act. The White House’s official SAVE America Act page says the election bill would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering for federal elections, voter identification at the polls, and stronger procedures for removing noncitizens from voter rolls. It also sharply limits mail voting, preserving exceptions for illness, disability, military service, and travel. The text identifies passports, citizenship certificates, qualifying military records, certain government identification, and other federal documents as acceptable proof. It also requires an alternative review process for citizens who cannot present one of the standard documents. State election officials would be able to request citizenship-verification information from federal agencies, and the proposal preserves provisional ballots while a citizen’s status is verified. The House has acted. The Senate has not delivered the bill to the President. Trump’s decision was a warning flare: Congress can pass a giant bipartisan package, but Republican senators should not expect him to stage a victory lap while one of his most important election promises remains stalled. Democrats immediately tried to declare the unsigned enactment a defeat for the White House. Sen. Elizabeth Warren celebrated the law and argued that Trump had failed to stop it. BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law. Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it. This law is GROUNDBREAKING. It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes. — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) July 11, 2026 That spin leaves out one rather large fact: Trump had the power to veto the housing bill and chose not to use it. Warren is right about the law’s status. She is wrong to pretend the President was somehow surprised by the outcome. He knew the clock. He knew the vote totals. He knew exactly what would happen at midnight. The strategy gave both fights room to continue. Families get a housing law designed to build more homes and push institutional buyers back from the front of the line. At the same time, Trump keeps the spotlight on senators who have not passed proof-of-citizenship and voter-ID protections. It is also a useful reminder that a presidential signature means more than legal validity. It is an endorsement, a photograph, a ceremony, and a political reward. Congress got the law. It did not get the reward. Now Senate Republicans have to decide whether they are comfortable entering the midterms with a housing victory in one hand and an unfinished election-integrity promise in the other. President Trump has already told them which one he expects next. Photo: Tony Webster via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0. Cropped from the original.

An alleged plan to attack President Trump and a crowd gathered on the White House lawn has now become one nationwide federal conspiracy case. Eight men face charges in Ohio over what prosecutors describe as a drone-and-sniper plot aimed at the UFC Freedom 250 event held June 14. The newest indictment does more than add another name. It pulls defendants arrested across several states into the same two-count case, identifies an alleged sniper taken into custody this week, and lays out a target list that reached the highest levels of government. A current post captured the scale of what prosecutors say was under discussion.

Hollywood has lost one of those actors whose face could make an entire movie feel instantly familiar. Peter Van Norden, the veteran performer remembered by millions for Police Academy 2, The Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Stephen King’s The Stand, has died at 75. His son, Robert, announced the loss this week and said his father passed peacefully with his wife, Wendy, beside him. BREAKING Peter Van Norden, the actor who appeared in the Police Academy and Naked Gun films, has died. He was 75. Van Norden’s son, Robert, announced that his father died on Thursday. “Peter passed away peacefully last night with his wife, Wendy, at his side,” Robert wrote… pic.twitter.com/bxZktjMx0E — Dirt Sheet Radio (@DirtSheetRadio) July 11, 2026 FOX Local reported that Wendy told TMZ her husband died peacefully at a hospice facility in Southern California after dealing with several health conditions, providing one of the first direct family accounts of his final days. No specific cause of death was announced. Van Norden is survived by Wendy and Robert, a film producer. The family description feels especially fitting for a man whose colleagues remembered both his performances and the way he treated people. Director Preston Peterson recalled an actor who endured punishing cold-weather shoots, elevated a small independent production and still showed up ready to work with a smile. Robert described his father as a great husband, friend and dad, as well as a deeply respected member of the theater community. That was Van Norden’s career in miniature: never too big for the room, yet very often the person making the room better. A short video remembrance captures the remarkable range of the work he left behind: 'Police Academy' actor Peter Van Norden has d~ed at 75. The veteran performer was known for Police Academy 2, The Accused, The Naked Gun 2½, and a long career in television and theater. #breakingnews #rip pic.twitter.com/KGxoAsizdj — Jill Winter (@JillWinterMusic) July 11, 2026 Van Norden played Officer Vinnie Schtulman in 1985’s Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, joining Steve Guttenberg’s Carey Mahoney in the first sequel to the comedy smash. Six years later, he portrayed former White House Chief of Staff John Sununu in The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear. He also appeared in the Oscar-nominated drama The Accused and played Ralph Brentner in the 1994 television adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. Those films made him recognizable. They were nowhere close to the whole story. Van Norden’s own professional resume stretches across more than four decades of film, television and theater. His television credits included Cheers, TJ Hooker, Hill Street Blues, Matlock, Saint Elsewhere, Family Ties, ER, Nash Bridges, 9-1-1 and recurring appearances on Murder, She Wrote and LA Law. Then there was the stage, where his career became even richer. Van Norden’s Broadway work included St. Joan, Macbeth, Little Johnny Jones, Romeo and Juliet and The Inspector General. Off-Broadway, he performed in productions featuring Kevin Kline, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Sam Waterston. His regional credits ranged from King Charles III and Ben Franklin to Shylock, Scrooge and Don Quixote. The resume records major acting awards and nominations across comedy, drama and musical theater, showing just how little of his range could fit inside one familiar movie role. He kept doing serious theater long after Hollywood had given him the kind of credits most actors would happily coast on. The Los Angeles Times remembered Van Norden as one of the city’s most accomplished stage actors, a performer whose command of language and emotional intelligence elevated productions even when he was not playing the lead. The paper noted that he remained active almost to the end. Recent roles included Polonius and the gravedigger in a 2022 production of Hamlet, Alonso and later Prospero in separate stagings of The Tempest, and John Tarleton in George Bernard Shaw’s Misalliance. In 2024, he received the Michael McCarty Recognition Award honoring Los Angeles Actors’ Equity members who built their lives in theater. He had also been slated to appear in an upcoming production of Shaw’s Heartbreak House, in a role he had long hoped to play. LA Theatre Works called him a stage icon and a longtime friend, remembering the recordings he made for the organization and the China tour he joined for Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers. We're saddened to say farewell to Peter van Norden, a stage icon and a longtime friend. In addition to his recordings for LATW, he joined our groundbreaking China tour of 'Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers'. Thanks for your amazing work Peter. We will miss you. pic.twitter.com/JV8RItvq1k — LATheatreWorks (@LATheatreWorks) July 10, 2026 There is something deeply admirable about an actor who could move from a giant studio comedy to Shakespeare, from a television guest role to a demanding stage tour, and treat all of it as work worth doing well. The Working Actor’s Journey featured Van Norden in an episode devoted to vulnerability and the idea that work creates more work. The series was built to let younger performers learn directly from actors who had survived the industry’s setbacks and kept practicing their craft for decades. Van Norden also returned for scene work involving Shakespeare and Harold Pinter, and joined a special tribute to actor Philip Bosco. His archive there is less a celebrity victory lap than a working actor still studying, teaching and stretching after decades in the business. That philosophy appears to have been more than an interview theme. It was the shape of his life. Peter Van Norden’s name did not top every poster. It did not have to. For movie fans, television viewers and generations of theatergoers, he was the kind of actor who made every title better. Rest in peace. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

The investigation into (former) Prince Andrew, who now goes by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, is deepening. As part of the United Kingdom’s ongoing probe into the former British royal, it’s now being reported that detectives are planning to travel to the United States in order to speak with Virginia Giuffre’s family. This is notable for several reasons. Most obviously, Virginia Guiffre was one of the most outspoken Epstein victims before her death by “suicide” last year. She specifically accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her. Secondly, this most-recent development in the case reveals that the UK’s investigation of Andrew, which began as a misconduct probe, has expanded into far more serious allegations of sex trafficking. Here are the latest details: EXCLUSIVE from @Josiensor and @Fhamiltontimes Detectives investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are preparing to travel to the United States to interview the family of his accuser Virginia Giuffre Thames Valley police want to talk to relatives of Giuffre, who died in April… — Steven Swinford (@Steven_Swinford) July 10, 2026 EXCLUSIVE from @Josiensor and @Fhamiltontimes Detectives investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are preparing to travel to the United States to interview the family of his accuser Virginia Giuffre Thames Valley police want to talk to relatives of Giuffre, who died in April last year, about her allegations of sexual assault against Andrew Andrew’s former role as a trade envoy is at the centre of Thames Valley’s investigation into alleged misconduct in public office after revelations in the mass dump of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the paedophile financier However, detectives have issued a wider appeal for information and are also assessing allegations that another woman was sent to the UK in 2010 by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew at Royal Lodge. Andrew has always denied wrongdoing In 2022, Andrew paid a £12 million settlement to Giuffre, who claimed he sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17. Andrew denied wrongdoing and said he did not remember meeting Giuffre She killed herself in April last year aged 41. Her family were disappointed by the Met’s failure to carry out a full inquiry into her allegations, but believe that Thames Valley have been “very proactive” Thames Valley Police officers are reportedly set to visit the United States in the coming weeks to talk to Virginia Giuffre’s brother Sky Roberts and his wife, Amanda. The New York Post has more: Officers have already asked for case files and are likely to speak with Andrew’s former protection officers, the report said. But it will not be a formal interview as Sky and Amanda are not considered direct witnesses to the allegations. It’s not clear if Thames Valley police bosses have received permission from US authorities to carry out an interview. A spokesperson for the police force said it was following “all reasonable lines of inquiry,” without delving into the specifics. Andrew was initially investigated over long-running claims by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre that she was made to have sex with him three times — starting when she was 17 — on orders from the financier and his madam Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew was never charged and has always denied any wrongdoing – but paid her between $14 million and $16 million in an out-of-court settlement in February 2022.
