• Yesterday, the Senate passed a bill that will overhaul the immigration system in America—giving illegal immigrants a chance to become citizens. Star Republican Senator Marco Rubio said, “Even with our challenges, we remain the shinning City on the Hill. We are still the hope of the world,” referring to America. “Got to our factories and fields. Go to our kitchens and construction sites. Go to the cafeteria of this very Capitol. There, you will find that the miracle of America still lives.” [Grio]
• Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta star K. Michelle was scheduled to release a new album on July 30th. However, the singer-turned-reality-TV star’s project will now be released on August 13th. The highly anticipated album is called Rebellious Soul. [TGJ]
