The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
I mean it sure looks like we wasted billions and many lives and lots of diplomatic credibility for nothing, but at least we can be sure those 160 schoolgirls won’t build a nuke
According Al Jazeera, the draft proposal that’s supposed to be finalized include:
-End of war on all fronts including Lebanon
-Freeing several billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds
The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild.
Period
if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age.

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛
Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.
Oof. Karoline Leavitt working behind the scenes to get her OWN GODSON’S MOTHER deported. There really is no bottom for these people. Racism first, family second.

You can cite the Bible in an academic paper. You can reference it, chapter and verse, in support of your thesis. But there's a big difference between citing the Bible as an academic reference and simply saying "God is the bestest God in the whole wide world, and I should get an A+ for saying so."
