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.

Embarrassed US citizen. Ashamed of and angry with many of my fellow citizens who either do not know what is going on or are so sadistic that they cheer it on.

Appalachia's black lung rates highest in nearly 50 years as miners' protections stall — NPR
Rates are now as bad as the 1970s, with thousands of miners sick and dying. Mining experts blame toxic silica dust, now more common in mines.

Well, now Trump is asking for a hundred thousand a month, for his early insider trading posts… The simple is no bottom to this level of corruption, is there?! Trump, Is. Corrupt. To. His. Core. 😎✨
We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇
Todd Blanche's Midnight Confirmation Gambit Doesn't Actually Rewrite Trump's Deal
And the "concerned" senators and much of the media are falling for it.

Colorado River. Humans are the most selfish, ignorant & destructive species on earth. If you have children/grandchildren, you might want to get engaged & be proactive in working with your government officials to save what is left of our natural resources. They will thank you ~
To be fair, turning a blind eye to abuse is kind of Gym’s thing

I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*
The Trump administration has begun removing signage from both Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments following its decision to shrink the monuments.
Looks Like Arizona Democrat Yassamin Ansari, Called On The House Oversight Committee To Investigate Communications Between Barron Trump and Andrew Tate, To See If The Tates Got Preferential Treatment From Donnie DumBshit.......(Time Magazine)
He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it
This is a serious issue, even though Trump is attempting to turn it into a political game by blaming Minnesota. Cyberattacks targeting municipal water and wastewater systems have now been reported in at least seven states this week.
ICE is still refusing to follow through on its pledge to equip its officers with body cameras. Their goal is without body camera footage, accountability becomes much harder. If you witness an interaction, remember to keep your camera rolling and document what you can safely.
The Trump administration says it isn’t trying to destroy the U.S. Forest Service. Let’s look at the facts. Over the past year, the U.S. Forest Service has lost nearly 7,000 employees through layoffs, buyouts, and other workforce reductions roughly one-quarter of its workforce.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
There used to be this thing called USAID that helped control these types of outbreaks. Then some malicious choads came along and killed it. www.huffpost.com/entry/congo-...
Congo Says The Death Toll In Fastest-Growing Ebola Outbreak Has Passed 1,500
There’s been a 50% increase in just about a week, showing that the emergency is continuing to outpace response efforts.

There’s an important lesson here, for those who choose to listen.
Alex Pettis’ mom’s message. 💚 We can’t believe it’s already been six months.
We need a lot more businesses to sue. This administration needs to listen to the courts. Two small businesses sued the Trump administration over its latest round of global tariffs, launching another legal challenge that could redefine the limits of Trump’s authority to wage a global trade war.
If you're pissed at the Dodgers going to the White House, stop watching MLB. The majority of players are Evangelical Trumpers so STOP funding their livelihood and their contributions to non-profit Christian organizations like Turning Point. Starve the beast people.
What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.
