Ossoff Calls BS On Forthcoming Trump Election ClaimsThere was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election, only President Donald Trump’s deep shame at having lost it.That goes doubly so in Georgia, where Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) is getting ahead of Trump’s reported plans on Thursday to attempt to, once again, cast doubt on the outcome of the 2020 election, this time in a primetime address.“We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting United States senators illegitimate. If that is the course of action he pursues, he is calling Georgia voters illegitimate,” Ossoff told reporters Tuesday on Capitol Hill.The senator then took a peek at Trump’s psyche and offered some insight into what’s really behind the president’s obsession with the 2020 election.“From the very moment Georgia voters rejected him in 2020, he’s been on the warpath because he was humiliated by the rebuke that Georgians dealt him,” Osoff said. “And he was humiliated and furious in particular, as a committed lifelong racist, that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat.”Earlier in the interview, Ossoff noted that Trump has likely begun to panic in light of polling that shows a massive shift in the balance of power in the midterms might bring a modicum of transparency to the executive branch.“Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there’s a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed,” he said.Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-07-14T19:26:25.672ZLatest Live Updates'Miracle On The Hudson' Captain Sully Sullenberger Announces Alzheimer’s DiagnosisCaptain Sully Sullenberger, the pilot famous for landing a passenger plane with disabled engines in the Hudson River in 2009, announced Tuesday he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.“It is early stage,” the “Miracle on the Hudson” pilot said in a statement. “For now, this means a name may not come easily to me, I forget a story I have recently told, or I don’t sleep as well, but I am in the beginning of this long journey.”In sharing his diagnosis with the world, Sullenberger said he hopes “other families living in the shadows with this disease will feel they too can step forward.”“Over the years, when people would ask about the successful outcome of Flight 1549, I would say that ‘courage can be contagious,’” he continued. “Now we need that courage to battle this disease. I am now part of a larger community with many of you, and we will be courageous together.”Sullenberger, 85, became known as a hero for successfully landing a damaged US Airways plane in the Hudson 17 years ago after a bird strike caused both of the aircraft’s engines to fail. All 155 people aboard survived.Congo's Ebola Outbreak Surpasses 2,000 Cases And 750 DeathsThe Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has topped 2,000 cases, the country’s health agency said Tuesday.As of July 13, there have been 2,011 cases and 754 deaths confirmed.

President Donald Trump strongly backs the measure. If approved, the clocks would not return to standard time in November, and states would have the option to opt out of year-round daylight saving time.Read more from Reuters:Elon Musk Possibly Violated Law With Voter Payout ClaimsBillionaire Elon Musk likely broke Wisconsin law when he promised to hand out $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 state Supreme Court election, a bipartisan panel has found.The Wisconsin Elections Commission last week referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney’s office, which can choose to bring criminal charges over violating the state law against election bribery.

Susan Collins (R-Maine) said the reason the Maine ICE agent who fatally shot a man on Monday wasn’t wearing a body camera is because federal agents still don’t have them.“They don’t have them yet,” Collins told reporters on Tuesday. “The orders were placed, but they couldn’t place the orders when the government was shut down. That delayed the purchase and deployment of body-worn cameras.”The Maine Republican, who chairs the Senate appropriations panel, said President Donald Trump signed a law in April that provided $20 million for body cameras for all federal immigration enforcement agents. But because the Department of Homeland Security went unfunded for months — the result of a partisan fight over tying new ICE funding to basic safeguards on agents — the body cameras were never distributed.Collins said she expects the cameras will be given out “within the next 45 days.”The Maine man killed Monday was Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national who had a U.S. work authorization and Social Security number. He leaves behind a partner and a 3-year-old daughter.Asked about the Maine activists who suggest ICE never wound down its operations in the state after an initial surge in January, Collins said federal agents “clearly did” ease up in recent months — and blamed Democrats for the equipment delays.“What appears to have happened is that there now has been ... somewhat of an increase of ICE activities before the additional training and body-worn cameras were deployed,” she said. “But to be fair to the Department of Homeland Security, they couldn’t enter into contracts when the government was shut down by the Democrats.”WGA Files Lawsuit To Block $110B Paramount, Warner Bros. Merger DealThe Writers Guild of America, which represents thousands of film and television writers, filed a lawsuit to block Paramount’s $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros., alleging it would threaten competition in the entertainment industry. “With fewer competitors, the merged Paramount-Warner Bros. entity would have both the incentive and the ability to lower costs by suppressing writers’ wages and reducing output,” the lawsuit reads. “Writers will be paid less and have fewer employment opportunities.”The union’s lawsuit comes just one day after a coalition of 12 states filed a similar lawsuit to block the deal, citing concerns it violates anti-trust laws.The proposed merger has also raised fears about the future of Warner Bros.-owned CNN under the leadership of Paramount CEO David Ellison, whose been accused of pandering to the Trump administration by bringing sweeping changes to CBS News.Members of HuffPost’s editorial staff are organized with the Writers Guild of America East.Trump Urges Skeptical GOP Lawmakers To Back Blanche For A.G.President Donald Trump doubled down on his support for Todd Blanche, his pick to be the next attorney general, ahead of confirmation hearings that start Wednesday.Blanche needs the support of all GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee in order to advance his nomination to run the Justice Department. Some Republicans are skeptical of the appointment.In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, the president made a series of claims about Blanche’s record as acting attorney general since April to argue he is “doing a PHENOMENAL job.” Trump also highlighted the role Blanche played as his personal attorney before his reelection.“When the Corrupt Biden ‘Injustice’ Department and Radical Left Prosecutors tried to throw me in jail, and interfered in our Historic 2024 Presidential Campaign, Todd stood by my side and fought off the Lawfare,” Trump wrote. “He is a great lawyer, always very fair, and every Republican Senator should vote to CONFIRM Todd Blanche, ASAP!”Suni Lee Announces Her Return To The OlympicsOlympic gold medalist Suni Lee will return to gymnastics and compete in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.Lee, 23, announced her return in a dramatic video posted Tuesday to Instagram. “This is more than a comeback, stay tuned,” a message on the video reads. Susan Collins: Calling Supreme Court 'Corrupt' Could 'Endanger The Lives Of The Justices'During a subcommittee hearing on increasing the security budget for the Supreme Court, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) made the bold claim that “overheated language” about the Supreme Court justices “could in fact trigger violence.”“It’s appalling to me that some of the rhetoric is coming from public officials on both sides of the aisle who should know better than to levy personal and political attacks against the judiciary and the court specifically,” Collins said.In 2020, then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) clarified he wasn’t making a threat when he said conservative justices had released “the whirlwind” over abortion rights. “For example, a senator stood in front of the Supreme Court building and called out to members by name, saying that they had released the whirlwind and that they will pay the price,” Collins said, referring to Schumer’s comments six years ago.“Other public officials have called the court corrupt, out of control, and serving an extremist agenda,” she continued. “This overheated language, this completely inappropriate rhetoric against the Supreme Court, endangers the lives of the justices and erodes public trust in our system of government.”“I believe that all of us must avoid that kind of dangerous and disturbing rhetoric, because it could in fact trigger violence,” Collins added.Lindsey Graham’s Sister Takes Oath Of Office To Fill Brother’s SeatThat’s Senator Darline Graham Nordone (R-S.C.) to you.Lindsey Graham’s sister officially took over her late brother’s seat at 2:34 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in a ceremony on the Senate floor.Sen.
