The way the right wing is hysterically reacting to Jon Ossoff’s mere mention of Natalie Harp means he hit a raw nerve. “How dare you suggest that a man who bragged about walking in on naked underage girls at a pageant he owned would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee!!!!”

Republicans have set the precedent. We will investigate members of the Trump family who may have been involved in grift. From overseas real estate deals, Pentagon contracts, Middle East investments, and crypto schemes: We'll investigate shady businesses & hold them accountable.

Disney and ABC allege the FCC is violating the First Amendment "by launching pretextual regulatory investigations and threatening the Stations' valuable broadcast licenses through early license renewal proceedings—all to punish Plaintiffs for content and viewpoints the Administration dislikes."

Dems & the DSA are all democrats, and we need to beat united. We need each other. The primary election winners are demonstrating that perfectly; why can’t the pundits & party leadership? We need to beat the REPUBLICANS, not ourselves. Bad actors will try to exploit perceived rifts. Don’t let them.

We are all in there. Pawns. Garbage to him, and his people. Bait. Indentured labor to create their wealth. Fooled into fighting amongst ourselves over scraps when we should be fighting them. The Louisville Courier Journal political art.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

“Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of N Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with S Korea.” This man is failing to defend the United States. This man is a traitor. This man should be removed.

Good news. E. Jean Carroll spent a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We owe her a debt of gratitude. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/17/trump-supreme-court-e-jean-carroll.html

In Idaho last week, a federal district court struck down two state laws restricting doctors from providing essential abortion care to women with high-risk pregnancies—and declared the laws “outlier positions” that defy the constitution and the fabric of American history.

A Federal Court Just Struck Down Idaho Abortion Restrictions. The Win Could Set the Stage for a Bigger Fight at the Ballot Box.

When most people think about post-<em>Dobbs</em> abortion litigation, they assume every lawsuit is trying to overturn the Supreme Court's decision. But a groundbreaking case in Idaho charts a differen...

There's no specific law that explicitly names "draft dodgers" banning them from Arlington National Cemetery. However, federal regulations and eligibility standards effectively make anyone who avoided the draft ineligible for burial there. Let's codify it into law.

Sen Whitehouse v The White House. Kinda poetic, but you've got to pick a side I guess. Watching the unfolding shitshow from afar, I'm struggling to understand how in the name of sanity the US has ended up here. Are you out of your minds?

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.
