Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

📌NEW MARQUETTE POLL: Trump approvals are at an all-time worst -18% in Wisconsin. 📌WHY THIS MATTERS: Wisconsin might be the '“swingiest” state in the country. If Trump is polling this bad there, he will be a drag on GOP candidates throughout the country. 📌PREDICTION: Robust Blue Wave in November.

You can’t wear two uniforms: your ICE badge and Boogaloo Boys cosplay… unless the government is comfortable with extremists in its ranks. PAXIS.app: We’ve gone from arresting “the worst of the worst” to employing them. Immigrants prepare for ICE. Help keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

The “Update” says it all: “Chase Forrester, the deputy chief of staff for the Education secretary, responded . . . . ‘The graphics shown in the broadcast accurately reflected the points awarded by the judges’ interpretation of answers and scoring.’” “Judges’ interpretation”=“alternative facts”

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

Governor Beshear should go in person to visit McConnell in the hospital and livestream the attempt.

Despite recent evidence to the contrary, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear isn’t so sure that Senator Mitch McConnell is actually alive. trib.al/VC9UrhP

Quick advice to any Democrat running for anything or already in office: Every interview, in fact almost every sentence should end with “Trump crime family” or “corrupt.”

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." /

The bigger question isn’t who’s paying. It’s why Trump keeps getting away with treating the White House like it’s his personal property. He doesn’t own it. The American people do.

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

You will notice by the way, that the fixation is specifically on black actors being in the film. No one’s like “matt damon can’t play odysseus because he’s english.”

Why is Trump going to lie about our elections from the Oval Office tonight in a prime-time speech? There's 2.2 billion reasons. He has turned the presidency into the most lucrative grift in political history, and he doesn't wanna to lose his MAGA protectors in Congress. From me, pass it on.

lol, opposition to data centers, especially tax breaks for these low-job-producing pollution monsters, is one of the few positions that cuts across party lines in U.S. politics. Trumper coming out openly in favor data centers is perfect. keep it up, Donny. dig that hole deeper, you orange fuck.

It is not a great look that some senior Democratic leaders have had time to put out statements on social media about how much they'll miss Lindsey Graham but haven't had time to talk about these latest executions carried out by Trump's gestapo in American streets.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

How many AI models does it take to change a lightbulb? That's a great question, which shows that you care about illumination! You don't just want to see - you want to be seen. Unfortunately no such thing as a lightbulb has ever existed or will ever exist.

this will be a big story: the mythological "censorship industrial complex" was partly based on this case

Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

Stephen Miller is the decendant of people who immigrated to the US and were also attacked as fundamentally unfit to participate in the American experiment. What Miller did is simply move the arbitrary civilizational charmed circle outward to include southern/eastern Europe but not the "Third World."

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

This is an extremely vile but important new quote from Stephen Miller, highlighted below by @larryglickman.bsky.social. It's an expression of Miller's overt ideology of civilizational supremacy, which we tried to dissect at some length recently: newrepublic.com/article/2041...
