Sure, Susan Collins has earned seniority and the power that comes with it in the US Senate, but what has she really done with that status to help the citizens of ME and the US? She has repeatedly enabled an autocratic and corrupt despotic regime. She can’t be trusted with the power she holds.
Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.
Trump has such contempt for the voters of South Carolina that he elevated someone utterly unqualified for senate who knows absolutely nothing about anything connected to the job who reads scripts given to her by MAGA handlers while calling the qualified Democrat names and slurs.
As #Republicans try to cut funding for #DollyParton ‘s #ImaginationLibrary, the #RoyalFamily honors her contributions to bettering the US w/this rendition of 9 to 5. Way to say the quiet stupid part out loud —trying to ensure that the ppl remain poorly educated.🪓🖇️ #voteblue#StayWoke#BeReady#Read
From the Royal Family: “Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.”
She’s basically saying “since my parents died because they couldn’t afford to go to the doctor when sick, you should too.”
What kind of platform is THAT to campaign on?!?!?
“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.”

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel:

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder:
The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.
Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity, and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.
It is core to the nature of reactionary politics that its adherents *always* conceive of themselves as aggrieved victims, no matter how much power they amass. It's a permission structure for their own lawlessness & violence.
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
Reminder: Trump was president during the election he says was rigged, and when Dems were in charge he won — which means either they really suck at rigging elections or he is full of shit. (Hint: it’s the latter)
If our Christianity causes us to defend the president rather than the poor, the powerless, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the immigrant, that’s when we know we are following someone other than Jesus.
was scheduled to have my gutters replaced today. after about 45 minutes i hadn’t heard anyone on our roof. glanced outside - they had gone to the wrong house and were about halfway through ripping off my neighbor’s gutters.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Reminds me of Justice Brandeis “discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; [and] that public discussion is a political duty…” supreme.justia.com/cases/federa... ⚖️👇🏾 #reiner
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945
“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.”
“The 2020 election was stolen.”
“January 6th was Nancy Pelosi’s fault.”
“She’s a domestic terrorist.”
“I’ll lower grocery prices on day one.”
“No new foreign entanglements.”
Lies. All lies.
There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.
If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.
No arrests. No searches. No seizures. No Due Process whatsoever. Attacking manned vessels on the high seas and killing the crew members with no verifiable provocation or justification is murder. Plain and simple.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) is one of the most poorly informed politicians we’ve ever seen. He repeatedly states, “I don’t know anything…”, “I haven’t seen that video…”, and, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Federal prosecutors in D.C. have been instructed not to seek felony charges against people who are carrying rifles or shotguns in [DC], regardless of the strength of the evidence, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and an email reviewed by [WaPo].” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
There will be a Democrat in the White House sometime in the future. I feel absolutely 100% certain that the GOP House & Senate members will vehemently oppose the Dem’s reciprocal use of expanding Executive power that they currently tolerate.
In her endorsement of Ralph Norman for Governor of SC, Nikki Haley said that he “will finally clean up Columbia, pass term limits, and prepare South Carolina for the next generation” and “it will once again be a great day in South Carolina!”
SC has had GOP trifecta control of govt since 2003.
