Maine Democrat Troy Jackson is running for U.S. Senate on a promise to fight corporate greed and lobbyist influence, but campaign finance records show the committee he led took hundreds of thousands of dollars from the same interests he now attacks. The Maine Senate Democratic Campaign Committee collected nearly $54,000 from corporate PACs, more than $131,000 from registered lobbying firms, and over $22,000 from individual lobbyists between 2018 and 2024, the entire stretch Jackson served as president of the Maine Senate. A Washington Free Beacon review of the committee's finance disclosures put the combined haul at more than $207,000. Jackson was listed as the committee's "principal officer" throughout that period.

Rosie O'Donnell returned to late-night television Monday with a monologue built almost entirely around President Trump, a performance that doubled as a reminder of why she left the country in the first place. O'Donnell stepped behind the desk at "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Aug. 17 for her first night as guest host, filling in while Kimmel takes a two-month summer break. She spent the opening segment, roughly 15 minutes, Breitbart reported , cycling through references to the president without once saying his name, mixing personal grievances with political commentary and jokes about her self-imposed exile in Ireland. It was less a comedy monologue than a campaign speech delivered to a studio audience already on her side. And it landed on a…Open

A mother and daughter who paid $1,000 apiece for courtside seats at an Indiana Fever game in Atlanta say WNBA security ordered them to hide their XX-XY Athletics shirts or leave the arena, and the league now concedes the whole thing never should have happened. Kasey and Annie Thomason were sitting three rows from the court at State Farm Arena on Sunday when, roughly halfway through overtime, a security guard pulled them aside. Someone in the stands, the guard explained, was "offended" by their shirts, apparel from XX-XY Athletics, a brand that promotes female-only competition. The Thomasons were handed Atlanta Dream, themed shirts and given a choice: cover up or get out. The ESPN broadcast captured the change in real time. With two and a…Open
