Tropical storm Dolly has formed in the Atlantic.

displays a National Hurricane Center forecast cone graphic for Tropical Storm Dolly, Advisory 1, issued at 11 AM AST on Thursday, August 27, 2026.

The storm's current center is located in the Atlantic Ocean at 13.6 N, 38.7 W, moving west at 24 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. The 5-day probable track cone shows Dolly continuing westward as a tropical storm (indicated by black circles with an "S") through Saturday morning. By 8 PM Saturday and 8 AM Sunday, the forecast track shifts to white circles with an "S", indicating it is expected to become a post-tropical or potential tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 39-73 mph as it approaches the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico.

The graphic includes the standard NOAA disclaimer that the shaded white cone represents the probable path of the storm center, not the total size of the storm, and that hazardous conditions can occur outside of the cone. No watches or warnings are currently highlighted on the map.

NEW: In a clear politicization of the DOJ, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared to endorse a Republican candidate for New York governor during a political rally. The comments mark a break from long-standing norms that the attorney general maintains strict neutrality to preserve public trust.

OMG Roberts: "To “discharg[e] the duties of his trust,” the President must have the assistance of officers he can trust." He's literally creating constitutional protection for loyalty tests. Sweet heavens to Murgatroyd

Oh, the fact that Alito had the gumption to give a verbal rebuttal from the bench after Sotomayor read from her dissent (according to SCOTUSblog's Amy Howe) is a prime example of why OPINION ANNOUNCEMENTS NEED TO BE LIVE STREAMED!

Sotomayor: "Because the Court today blesses the Executive Branch’s decision to slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution, despite the detailed inspection and asylum system that Congress enacted and commands, I respectfully dissent."

The Supreme Court will hear arguments this morning in a challenge by Republicans to mail-in voting rules in Mississippi. The the impact of the court’s ruling could be much broader.

What will end ICE’s terroristic regime for good? Recognizing and rejecting its core white nationalism that has been a part of the American fabric for over 400 years. Some of us have never had the privilege to look away and ignore it. Now none of us do. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/26/o...

bostonglobe.comDon’t look to Germany for an analogy. The Minneapolis nightmare is uniquely American. - The Boston GlobeIn order to defeat the white nationalism that is at the core of ICE’s assault on American democracy, we have to see it and treat it as what it is.
