RIP Margaret Hamilton. Lead software engineer for the Apollo program. Here she is standing next to the code she wrote to send humans to the moon. Barack Obama gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. news.mit.edu/2026/margare... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare...

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Buried lede: among those speaking out against this is Gregory Baylor, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a major conservative Christian legal group: “The government shouldn’t punish people who pursue socially valuable callings just because in its judgment they don’t earn enough money.”

This is low-level propaganda that elides the real story, which is that the younger candidate in this race is an anti-trans clown and the older candidate is one of the Senate's strongest progressives. Please vote for Markey in MA, friends. The old guy is the only choice here.

2. McConnell is fortunate to be employed in a job with excellent benefits. In 2025, about 27 million private sector workers had no paid sick leave. One reason: Mitch McConnell.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was hospitalized on June 14 after suffering a fall that left him unconscious.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.”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.

Would be interesting to not just write about his actions, but the negative impact these actions had on Americans. Yes, he did all this. And he’s a leading reason Roe was overturned; ICE gets $200 billion; families are separated; etc etc. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.
As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans' success in blocking the pick.

More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump's effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.

As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr.
Graham played a central role in translating Mr.
Trump's domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president's sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.
The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr.
Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party's primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump's agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump's return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.
