A key part of Lindsey Graham's legacy: when he called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...
Maybe we should remember Lindsey Graham the way Fox News is remembering him this morning. For his rabid defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. Never forget: Graham’s speech helped push Kavanaugh across the finish line and onto the Supreme Court.
Judging just from my algorithms on the socials, it seems that a lot of people are not as excited about the World Cup as they were when the scrappy newcomers and underdogs were in the games.

Good to see that the adjudicated rapist has for once been held accountable for his misconduct. But it's sad that he has thus far mostly escaped accountability for every other depraved thing he has done.
Molly Crane-Newman@mollycranenewman.bsky.social · last mo.Breaking: Judge Lewis Kaplan has ordered the release of $5 million+ in damages owed to E. Jean Carroll by Donald Trump. Trump failed to convince the judge to delay the payment. This comes more than three years after he was found liable for sexual assault.
Said sexual assault victims should “just take some responsibility” and “act like an adult. ”Voted for Collins three times. Claimed Black people don't tip. Worked for Blackwater during the Iraq War. Knew the tattoo was Nazi years ago and still didn’t cover it up. Sexted women while married. Done.
it once again bears repeating: that platner is even a candidate is because this guy, who was run out of Pittsburgh for recruiting/managing multiple candidates accused of DV/SA, who himself has allegations against him, recruited platner he should be blacklisted until the end of time
public health guy@publichealthguy1.bsky.social · last mo.this guy also needs to just not be allowed near democratic politics ever again. same with everyone who thought any of this was a good idea
@grahamformaine.bsky.social blamed women for sexual assault, saying they should "take some responsibility for themselves" and "act like an adult." Here's what Maine women had to say about his words.
I don’t know why but the very first time I saw this guy interviewed, I thought no. He gave me the creeps.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last mo.Never forget: when Platner’s Nazi tattoo surfaced, Democrats had time to rally behind another progressive in Maine. Instead, they doubled down on a candidate with a trail of red flags. Now they’re dealing with a sexual assault allegation. 1/2
Birthright citizenship is going to be the new Roe v Wade in the sense that Democrats need to win more elections than they lose in perpetuity to protect it, because Republicans are not making the mistake of appointing another Justice who will uphold it, ever

I just walked around the National Mall area in DC and there sure are a lot of fences & military enforcement to “celebrate” 250 years of our “freedom”. Having the entire National Mall fenced off is a logistical nightmare for families trying to get to the museums in the heat, too.

Mel Andrews@bayesianboy.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
