I guess it needs to be said. If you’re campaigning as a Dem, but willing to throw trans people under the bus to draw votes for transphobes voting for their wallet, I have zero interest in supporting you. If you’re willing to sacrifice them, you’re likely willing to sacrifice others.

The only difference between this racist subhuman scum and every ICE thug is that he hides his cowardly xenophobia behind a different badge.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Meanwhile, reliable mail delivery in rural Maine is forecast to become worse.

At an election science conference I went to in June, a panel was lit up by claims that USPS delays in primaries were causing more ballots to arrive late. Someone asked: Has anyone done research yet to see if USPS changes are tied to ballot rejections? So @propublica.org did. 🧵

I had an encounter today with a guy who was most likely an ICE agent. It was weird, but I'm hearing from folks in ME and in other states that ICE is changing their tactics. Please read and share, especially for Maine folks. shaystewartbouley.substack.com/p/weirdo-or-...

Susan Collins is the snotty, bratty Nellie Olson of politics.

Bill Green is a has been trying desperately to maintain some sort of relevancy. Even if he has to be an elitist, bullshit peddling carnival barker to do it. He should crawl back under that rock he was hiding under.

Yet another example of Crooked Collins’s quid pro quo.

The Lever@levernews.com

Susan Collins says she once went a year without health insurance. What she’s less eager to talk about: after she lost the 1994 governor’s race, an assault-rifle maker who’d donated to her campaign helped her land her next job. 🧵

In the long run, this won’t really benefit homeowners, nor the towns in which they live. The ones who WILL benefit are all the commercial landlords who will no longer be paying taxes into the communities they’re rent gouging in. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Susan Collins says her "heart goes out" to Johan Sebastián Guerrero's family. Her heart. Not her vote. Her vote gave ICE $70 billion with no guardrails. ICE killed him in July. Susan Collins is complicit.

Mainers, now that Crooked Collins crooked dealings have been exposed, it’s our job to make sure she get’s the boot in the ass she truly deserves. Then hopefully after that, three hots & a cot in a federal prison.

Three of our four investigations ended at the same senator's campaign account. A pardoned fraudster. Epstein's billionaire client. ICE's jailers. Susan Collins took money tied to all three. Maine has 31 days to be concerned. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-sen...
