An Ethics Committee report detailed “persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct” by the North Carolina Republican toward two young female staffers.

Why don't voucher schools getting millions of North Carolina taxpayer dollars have to tell anyone what their standardized testing results are - like public schools do? Think carefully. Why wouldn't they want people to know that?

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Well over a year since lawmakers first introduced House Bill 958, the monster elections bill has now passed both chambers of the NC General Assembly. Tell Gov. Stein to VETO this harmful mega elections bill and instead advocate for policies that make our elections MORE accessible at demnc.co/hb958.

How Data Centers Broke American Politics

What the Unabomber, Steve Bannon’s tech guy, and Bernie Sanders taught me about the great data center backlash of 2026.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.

Michigan US Senate Democratic Primary - Current Results - 🔵 Abdul El-Sayed (D) - 122,092 (52.3%) - 🔵 Haley Stevens (D) - 104,316 (44.7%) - 🔵 Mallory McMorrow (D) - 6,934 (3.0%)

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

The creator of Moral Mondays gets arrested. Imagine being arrested for trying to do such good while those in the #Epstein files are free to do even more damage. So effed up. #TriadMoralMondays #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2026/08/03/m...

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

The devastating effects of the BBB (Big Beautiful Bill) passed last year are rolling out after the midterms. This was deliberate. This admin wanted people to blame anyone but them. They HATE our social safety net which was fragile before. THEY OWN THIS. #BigBullshitBill #SocialSafetyNet

#TriadMoralMondays in Elon in Alamance County! Great turnout! The fight marches on!

Awesome turnout at the Moral Monday rally today in Elon!

Federal prosecutors just dropped charges against 3 MORE defendants who were falsely accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool www.cbsnews.com/news/lincoln...

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)

They couldn't keep it in their churches. They want to control everybody.

And those five people are working every day to make sure you never get any of it.

It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.

If we all switched to renewable energy, we could end a lot of the world’s dictators whose wealth comes from oil and gas.

We didn’t ask you to release a diary. We demanded you release the Epstein files. We even passed a law.

A caucus of violent, drunk ex-husbands controls three branches of government and both chambers of Congress.
