WASHINGTON D.C. - Vice President Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in 2019 — further left than even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — according to a GovTrack scorecard.
Harris, whom President Joe Biden opted to back after announcing that he will not seek reelection after all, was viewed as the most liberal senator prior to her becoming vice president.
According to GovTrack, the ideology analysis assigns a score to lawmakers according to their “legislative behavior by whether they sponsor and cosponsor overlapping sets of bills and resolutions with other Members of Congress.”
WASHINGTON D.C. - Our world, more than ever before, pivots on the tiniest details of a chaotic world.
Eight days ago, a bullet narrowly missed Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. It was immediately obvious that the 21st century would have been profoundly different but for a gust of wind, a twitch of the trigger finger, or one man’s tilt of his head. We will never know how the world would be different—we only have one Earth to observe—but nobody believes that everything would unfold the same way this century if the bullet had found its mark.
The most common cognitive mistake is to believe that only certain moments—like a failed assassination of a high-profile politician—are producing forking paths in our societies and our lives. Instead, the world is constantly diverging, new paths being forged, by the smallest contingencies of often unnoticed flukes.
However, social systems can evolve over time to be more or less contingent—more or less fragile—and we have, unfortunately, created a world that is more prone to the unpredictable volatility of chaotic dynamics than ever before. Click here to read more.
NEW YORK, NY - A Democratic group that spent thousands of dollars backing a since-failed tax proposal supported by Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) will soon disclose its donors and pay a fine as part of a settlement over campaign finance law violations, according to documents.
Boldly Forward Colorado, a group that, as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, is not required to report its donors to the IRS, agreed with state investigators to pay a more than $18,000 fine and submit paperwork listing its contributors in 2023, a settlement agreement stated. Boldly Forward Colorado is legally allowed to fund ballot measures, but the $350,000 it spent in 2023 supporting Proposition HH was determined to be above a certain threshold permitted by a 501(c)(4), meaning it should have registered as an issue committee and publicized its fundraising and expenses, state officials said.

BIRMINGHAM, AL - Shelby County Drug Task Force investigators say they have now seen the first case of a new form of fentanyl.
Just in the last few weeks, several illegal drugs were found at a house near Helena.
Investigators with the drug task force are working with the Shelby County DA’s office to prosecute to the fullest extent.
On July 11, drug task force investigators found heroin, meth, mushrooms, fentanyl and Shelby County’s first confirmed case of para-fluorofentanyl, which is more dangerous than pure fentanyl. Click here to read more.
SOUTHPORT, Ind. — An officer with the Southport Police Department is recovering after coming into contact with and overdosing on fentanyl during a recent traffic stop.
SPD said around 7 p.m. last Friday Lieutenant Tony Wilson pulled over a driver at the Speedway gas station at US 31 and County Line Road on the south side of Indianapolis. The driver reportedly had a criminal record and no license.
While searching the car, SPD said Wilson found a dollar bill that was covered in what he thought was fentanyl.
The Lieutenant said that he accidentally inhaled the white powder and soon passed out from its effects. His bosses credit his training for a positive result.
“Demonstrating incredible presence of mind, Lt. Wilson was able to call for medical assistance before losing consciousness,” SPD said.
Southport police said that thanks to Wilson’s quick thinking and the speedy response from Indianapolis Fire Department crews, the lieutenant’s life was saved.
