I have no info for Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, so either it's pre-empted or they're showing a repeat of a previous show. Check your local listings to be sure.
Only Jimmy Fallon is on live tonight, however this is his last show for two weeks. Also Seth Meyers is pre-empted for the Olympics (next two weeks.)
I can't find any information for Real Time with Bill Mahar (on HBO). Apparently there's no show for Bill Mahar tonight but check your local listings.

There are lots of great choices for the Vice Presidential slot. But we need our Governor here in Harrisburg. Let's not be hasty!
Will Gov. Shapiro be invited on the presidential ticket? I hope not - I want to keep him here
Here's a rundown of Josh Shapiro's accomplishments as our Governor for the past 1.5 years.
Spotlight PA link: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/07/josh-shapiro-pennsylvania-governor-kamala-harris-accomplishments-joe-biden-vice-president-background/
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has emerged as a top contender for the vice-presidential nod following President Joe Biden’s stunning announcement that he is dropping out of the 2024 race and endorsing Kamala Harris to take his spot on the ballot.
Shapiro, 51, was elected Pennsylvania’s governor in 2022 and assumed office in January 2023. He is a moderate Democrat whose career trajectory has seen him move from congressional aide to Pennsylvania’s chief executive, all within two decades.
Already, top elected Democrats in Pennsylvania like state House Speaker Joanna McClinton and party leaders like Philadelphia Democratic chair Bob Brady have endorsed Shapiro as a possible vice presidential pick, citing his wins in a divided General Assembly and electoral success in a key swing state.
At a Monday afternoon event in Pittsburgh, Shapiro said he has spoken to both Biden and Harris, but declined to say whether he is in talks to join the ticket.

Lamorne Morris is the guest host for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Seth Meyers is off this week, as well as the next 2 weeks for the Olympics on NBC. I believe Jimmy Fallon will also be pre-empted for the Olympics next week, but he's still on for tonight and Friday.

Philadelphia Inquirer link: https://www.inquirer.com/business/pennsylvania-stop-and-go-task-force-regulation-20240724.html
Also from the same article:
In western PA we have Sheets and GetGo that are mostly open 24 hours for gas, cigarettes and carry out food, etc. Many have beer and wine, but most customers drove their cars and on their way somewhere else. They aren't likely to loiter outside the store.
It is different in Philly, where some customers behave like they're at an all-night bar. Public drunkenness and other rowdy behavior outside the store (but on the store premises) isn't being controlled by the store employees and that's where the problems are.
Four decades in the making, a task force takes steps to rid Philadelphia of nuisance stop-and-go stores
Philadelphia Inquirer link: https://www.inquirer.com/business/pennsylvania-stop-and-go-task-force-regulation-20240724.html
Almost a century ago, Pennsylvania’s liquor code was created by a teetotaler governor distraught enough about the repeal of Prohibition that he decided to make drinking as difficult as possible for residents.
For the last four decades, Philadelphia residents have vigorously complained that the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) hasn’t made drinking more difficult at so-called stop-and-go stores throughout the city.
And for four hours over two days last week, the bipartisan Pennsylvania Stop-and-Go Legislative Task Force heard it all once again — residents’ grievances and store owners’ complaints of harassment — as they attempt to find a solution that will eradicate nuisance stop-and-gos in the city without unnecessarily burdening law-abiding businesses.
“I invite everyone on this panel to come and join me in my backyard, because the shenanigans go on all day long and you can have a bird’s-eye view sitting in my yard seeing people at 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m.,” said Stephanie Ridgeway, president of Lower North Philadelphia CDC. “This is impacting a community that is attempting to rejuvenate itself.”

Also from the same article:
What is a stop-and-go?
The task force, chaired by State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams, a Philadelphia Democrat, is responsible for legally defining stop-and-gos and coming up with a suitable special license and effective enforcement to use only in Philadelphia.
The state liquor code prohibits private ownership of liquor stores but allows entrepreneurs to run restaurants and eating establishments that can sell alcohol to customers as they eat. In the late 1980s, entrepreneurs started purchasing old, unused liquor licenses that allowed them to sell food. According to the Pennsylvania State Police’s Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement (BLCE), some stop-and-gos run afoul of the liquor codes because they do not provide sufficient food and eating space, tables and chairs, or utensils, and may sell liquor to go, in violation of the law.
Instead they specialize in selling small quantities of hard alcohol and beer to a transient population, many with addiction issues. Buying single servings of alcoholic beverages is easy and cheap, and customers tend to linger outside the stores, neighbors complain, drinking and creating chaos throughout the day and night.

Today's Tiedrich rant: Kamala Harris has broken Donald Trump's brain
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/kamala-harris-has-broken-donald-trumps
rapidly-deteriorating former game-show host Little Donny Fuckface hasn’t been having any fun lately.
all this week, Donny’s been hunkered down in his New Jersey golf motel and ex-wife cemetery, watching TV — and all they talk about on every show is how the entire Democratic Party has come together to endorse the woman who’s going to kick his ass in November.
it’s completely broken his brain. there’s only one thing in this world that Donny loves just as much as money: being the center of attention — and for a while there, oh fucking boy, was he ever.
just a week ago, Donny was the biggest story on the planet. all the papers, all the shows — they talked about one thing only: The Great Ear-Grazing. for four whole days, he got to swan about at the GOP Convention, wearing that clownishly oversized head-diaper — and the press gobbled that shit right down, without even bothering to chew.

Lawsuits allege widespread sex abuse at juvenile detention centers in Western Pa.
3 lawsuits claim rampant sex abuse went unchecked at facilities in the regionPittsburgh Post-Gazette link: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2024/07/23/sex-abuse-abraxis-george-junior-republic-summit-academy/stories/202407230064
A trio of lawsuits filed in Allegheny County allege decades of systematic sexual abuse at non-profit juvenile detention centers across western Pennsylvania.
The complaints filed in the Allegheny Court of Common Pleas Monday represent 92 men and women who allegedly suffered “horrific and serial” sex abuse while confined at Summit Academy in Butler, George Junior Republic in Grove City and Abraxas Youth and Family Services, which has facilities in Pittsburgh, Erie, South Mountain, Pa. and Marienville, Pa.
The abuse the lawsuits allege — which spans from 2000 to 2023 — ranges from inappropriate strip searches to rape. The juvenile detention facilities were aware of the “culture of abuse,” but “turned a blind eye,” the court filings allege.
Jason Luckasevic, the attorney representing the alleged victims in all three lawsuits said he believes there are many more victims across the state — approximately a dozen more have come forward and contacted his office in the 24 hours since the cases were filed, he said.
