A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Like, c'mon people. Nothing in @rtraister.bsky.social's piece suggests anyone shouldn't support @troyjackson207.bsky.social for Senate in Maine. Stop trying to make a scandal where there isn't one.

Alexander Howard@digiphile.bsky.social

@rtraister.bsky.social’s reporting in @nymag.com makes it clear Jackson didn’t “emerge from nowhere.” His long history in state politics and the relationships she describes are why he was able to become the candidate. The fact that DC & NY editors had never heard of him doesn’t mean Mainers hadn’t.

Sure looks like Susan Collins took a bribe: A military contractor made big donations to her PAC and she delivered $40 million in federal contracts. It's an obvious quid pro quo, done through a shell corporation and dark-money PAC—so much more elegant than paper bags full of cash!

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

In his statement, Macklemore detailed how the pressure campaign was started by billionaire Robert Kraft, a backer of Israeli government leaders and the owner of Gillette Stadium. “Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum.”

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Susan Collins is a dyed-in-the-wool hypocrite, the worst kind of soulless MAGA enabler. Mainers have an opportunity to finally show her the door and help take the Senate away from the Bozo Fascist and his flying monkeys. Vote for Troy Jackson, people.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Susan Collins voted to confirm Howard Lutnick, the person widely reported as most responsible for blowing up the deal. But now she’s concerned about what he has done because it’s an election year.

Americans were told ICE would be focusing on “the worst of the worst.” A Salt Lake Tribune analysis of arrests in southwest Utah shows otherwise. Read more: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/08/17/ice-arrests-quadruple-st-george/

Susan Collins voted for $70 billion in ICE funding just before an ICE agent gunned down a young immigrant father in Maine. Collins also voted against an amendment requiring bodycams. These votes will now be hung around her neck, Dems in the state tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2133...

ICE murdered a 26 year old father in Biddeford, Maine. It's the second ICE murder in less than a week—and just the latest in a series of attacks from Trump’s thugs. Horrific. Abolish ICE now.
