Congress Recesses With Much Undone, Tensions with Trump: Lawmakers scattered for their summer recess Thursday, leaving behind a slim record of achievements and a steaming President Donald Trump. The president is angry about what the Republican-led Congress couldn't do — repeal Obamacare — as well as one of the few things it did: approve a Russia sanctions bill he detests. So Republican senators leave Washington with simmering tensions between them and the White House now out in public for all to see. They'll face voters back home who have cause for frustration about an unproductive Congress led by a party given over to infighting. Lamenting poor relations with Russia, Trump sniped over Twitter on Thursday, "You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!” "I was shocked by that," responded Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, who is not one for criticizing Trump publicly. "Relations with Russia are in a bad place, and it's entirely because of Vladimir Putin, it's not because of Congress."

Suicides Among Teen Girls Hit 40-Year High: Suicide among teen girls between the ages of 15 and 19 has hit a 40-year high, according to new data released by the National Center for Health Statistics. Male teens, by comparison, experienced an increase in suicides from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s. Academic pressure, cyberbullying and undiagnosed mental disorders could offer a partial explanation of why a young person might consider or attempt suicide, according to experts. This is especially true of young people who are gay, trans or questioning.

Amazing Eagles Artwork Features Name of Every Player Ever: You've likely seen Daniel Duffy's artwork before, be it a Phillies World Series print or Brian Dawkins screaming with passion, and now he's back with a particularly cool Eagles awn. If you're not familiar with Duffy's work, he goes by Philly Word Art and uses words to form images. For his latest piece, he uses the name of every Eagles player... ever! And forms them into the iconic Eagles logo from the 90s era. We spoke with Duffy about this particular project and he shared some interesting tidbits. He double checked the names of every player to make the Eagles roster from the team's inception through the 2016 season. Sorry Derek Barnett!
