Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central And more... With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told. Shameful.

Just think. All that made possible with Russian missile technology & guidance data whilst Trump remains servile to Putin and his son swanks around on Putin’s mate’s money. You’d have to be blind, deaf and very very stupid to think the Trumps have USA‘s interests at heart bsky.app/profile/robe...

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

The CNN investigation concludes that the devastation that was visited on 16 US military installations in the Gulf region was clearly possible because of Russian missile technology and guidance data supplied to Iran. That's the same folks who paid for Trump Jr's wedding party, by the way.

District court judges across the country have been holding the line against Trump. These judges deserve appreciation — just as those who have enabled and collaborated with the regime deserve condemnation. All of these people are making moral choices. Democracy is a moral choice. Remember this.

Dunno. Not an admiral here. But from a straight street-fighing point of view, two thuggish build Royal Marines v one deranged Captain may be OK. Anyway, that's what informed sources say.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

As I keep saying - Talk has somehow become even worse than GB News It broadcasts a seemingly unending slough of misinformation and hateful tropes and I'm at a complete loss as to why nothing is done.
