Multiple painkillers, sleep aids and THC were detected in his system. Woods checked into rehab shortly after that incident, saying his efforts…

Then Netanyahu headed downstairs for the main event: a highly classified presentation on Iran for President Donald Trump and his team in the…

If you only got your news from the Democratic Party’s corporate wing, you’d be excused for thinking that not much of consequence was happening in the world. Centrist groups like Third Way and pro-Netanyahu organizations like the Anti-Defamation League don’t seem to be fretting about the escalating war in the Middle East, the Trump regime’s insider trading, or Republicans’ plans for another reconciliation package that would drastically cut health care spending to fund the war (while also suppressing the vote). In their circles, there’s a different catastrophe that the Democratic Party should…

The ability to project military air power rests on physical systems: aircraft, fuel, depots, airfields, maintenance crews, spare parts, and the logistics chains that bind them together. Among these, aerial refueling is foundational. It is the mechanism by which range is extended, persistence is maintained, and operational flexibility is preserved.

The Hidden Backbone of Modern Air Power Modern U.S. military air operations depend on aerial refueling to a high degree. Fighters, bombers, ISR platforms,…

MADISON, Wis. — Democratic-backed candidate Chris Taylor won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, growing the liberal majority on the court as cases affecting congressional redistricting, union rights and other hot button issues await in the perennial battleground state. Taylor, who focused her campaign on abortion rights, defeated Republican-backed Maria Lazar in the fourth straight victory for liberal court candidates dating back to 2020. Liberals are now guaranteed to hold a majority on the court until at least 2030. Democrats tightened their control of the court just months before a November election in which they seek to keep…

Across the country, Republican-led state legislatures are passing a slate of laws that effectively shield oil and gas companies from legal claims that they are responsible for the destruction and mounting toll caused by climate change. Fifteen laws have either been passed or are currently being debated in 11 states. Together, they threaten to remove long-standing tools for the public to hold corporations accountable. A ProPublica investigation has found that most of these bills are part of a coordinated effort, orchestrated by a constellation of groups that share staff or have funding ties to the prominent conservative activist Leonard Leo,…
