“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

October 1, 2026 All of this chaos is brought to you by Susan Collins, who doesn't have the spine or courage to do ANYTHING about the mad king. He's your boy now Susie.
Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Markwayne Mullin and their funders like Susan Collins should spend a few months in Miramar under the current conditions.
Latest: As immigration arrests hit all-time highs, an ICE field office in Miramar, Florida, has turned into an overcrowded detention center. Family members and advocacy groups say detainees are stuffed in temporary holding cells with 50+ other people for more than a week reason.com/2026/08/25/t...
Susan Collins provided the funding for these armed thugs to beat American citizens and leave them for dead.
The Kennedy Center is next: I'm sure Susan Collins is planning her "concern"...

What a whiny little baby. Put it on the list if democracy holds.
These are Republican Detainment Cages brought to you by Marco Rubio, JD Vance and Donald Trump and paid for by Susan Collins and her Republican congressional colleagues. This is America in 2026.
NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
I can't believe the republican congressional morons have allowed this to happen.
I just call this the Republican Congressional Tariff Tax since congressional republicans fully support trump. They make things more expensive, right Susan Collins and Mike Rogers....
Every republican member of congress is at fault for not standing up to this inhumane treatment of other human beings. SHAME on you Susan Collins and all of your R, chickenshit colleagues!
Republicans like Susan Collins could have prevented this since she is in charge of the “purse”. Troy Jackson and the democrats are committed to restoring faith in our alliance. We need a little time.
The gulf between the end of the United States and our feelings on issues needs to stop. Find common ground or Trump will destroy everything.
This woman GAVE so much more than she was ever given. RIP Dolly Parton. They will welcome you in heaven! Thank you.
This is what happens when you let amateurs and thieves run your government.

Cassidy votes in support of keeping the Epstein files buried.
this gets him NOTHING but disdain and ridicule. They beclown themselves.
President Miller and the other guy...
Anyone looking for perspective on where we are now as a country, listening to the similarities between German leadership leading up to and throughout WWII and where we are now our is enlightening.
Let’s roll. Divisions exist, however, autocracy is here. Let’s unite.
How we arrived at a place where citizens are victims of an autocrat’s whims is clear. Trump’s circle has squeezed out all but 3 or 4 advisors and they (milller, vought, Rubio, Vance) are his only link to the outside world. Time to vote!
A moral low point for the US Senate. Shameful.
Whitehouse: "Today, I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee. As it looks like on a party-line vote, we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general of the United States..."
This is like watching a catastrophic accident play out in slow-motion.
She has LONG-forgotten Aroostook county where both she and Troy Jackson are from (I know). After nearly 30 years in the Senate, Maine needs an advocate for the citizens, not the rich or the pro-life movement. Move on. 2 terms are up.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right? Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app

I can't imagine two more incompetent men deciding the fate of US children.

Imagine doing so little for the American people that you focus your entire effort on confounding voters that elections just don’t matter?
Lots of craziness in Maine but Troy Jackson is the legit-real deal candidate. Good person who has the best interest of rural Maine at the heart of his campaign. Plus: Aroostook!
Happy Canada Day friends! God bless you.

Pelley, who has been at CBS for more than two decades, reportedly railed against the new executive producer of "60 Minutes" in a tense staff meeting Monday.
How anyone can justify a bunch of the Trump's stooges running around the justice department trying to steal money from taxpayers is incomprehensible.
