They looked beaten. And out. Argentina, the defending World Cup champion and No. 1-ranked team, was down 2-0 late against Egypt. Then, in a span of 13 remarkable minutes, Argentina scored not once, not twice, but three times, capping a comeback for the ages and leaving Egypt stunned and shellshocked. For much of the game in Atlanta, Egypt was in control, hobbling Argentina early. The Egyptian attack began almost immediately with a stunning header goal delivered by Yasser Ibrahim in the 15th minute.

Essence Fest is over, but the group chat is still going

| WBHM-FM (Birmingham, AL) Verified
Was it the concerts? The free giveaways? The hour-long lines? Ask five people what the Essence Festival of Culture is, and you'll probably get five different answers. I spent three days inside the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center expecting to write about what was happening around the festival. Instead, I found the real story inside it. Here's the debrief. A festival with roots that run deep Essence began in 1970 as a magazine created for Black women who were largely overlooked by mainstream media.

| WBHM-FM (Birmingham, AL) Verified
A new lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C. alleges the Trump administration is divulging details of Iranian asylum seekers to the government of Iran. Lawyers with the left-leaning Public Citizen Litigation Group argue the administration began sharing information about the applications with Iran in March 2025. Since then, U.S. government officials have "periodically mailed or hand delivered immigration files of Iranians" in immigration custody to the Iranian government, according to the complaint.

10 new books you won't want to miss in July

By Colin Dwyer
| WBHM-FM (Birmingham, AL) Verified
I regret to inform you I'll need to keep this introduction brief. Not because there's any lack of things to say about July's crop of notable new releases; it features award-winning journalists and several different flavors of anxiety about our bleak ecological future and data-dominated present, as well as the welcome returns of several beloved novelists. No, these books certainly deserve some love, dear readers. It's just that I'm finding it a bit tough to type while bearhugging a box fan.

| WBHM-FM (Birmingham, AL) Verified

A group of Democratic policy veterans believes that daily annoyances like these have become a real economic problem. They even have a name for it: "the annoyance economy." Taking it on is one plank in a broader governing agenda they're assembling for a future Democratic president. They're calling it "Project 2029." Sound familiar?
