It often happens that, when a member of Congress dies and an interim appointment is needed, a relative fills the position for a while. That’s what’s happening here: Former U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, will serve as … Continue reading →
I assume this is his actual X account: pic.twitter.com/gQzOXBJHJz — Graham Platner for Senate (@grahamformaine) July 10, 2026 Note the sign-off. After all the more formal jargon, we have this: F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the hearts. Solidarity forever, Graham … Continue reading →
Singer Bonnie Tyler died at 75 on July 8. She had one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable voices in pop music, with a rasp (the result of a vocal cord operation) that had the hint of desperation that … Continue reading →
Here we go again. A DSA far-leftist named Francesca Hong is running for the Democratic nomination for governor of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a purple state, and that’s a statewide office. So the Democrats are understandably nervous about her: Most political … Continue reading →
