Troy Jackson: Eight years ago today, Maine women begged Susan Collins not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She did it anyway. He helped overturn Roe v. Wade. And today, she says she has no regrets. Would you trust her to pick the next Supreme Court justice?

Troy Jackson: "As late as 2024, the FBI was circling around Sen. Collins ... then when President Trump came back, his administration dismantled the investigation. Now she votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time. Look, I don't owe Donald Trump nothing."

I’m loving the “well akshually he didn’t REALLY mean let Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego” excuses today. Cool. Explain the assholes in the crowd who thought it was fucking hilarious. Deplorables wasn’t strong enough.

Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Troy Jackson is not the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard, but if Maine voters demanded eloquence or charisma from their politicians Susan Collins wouldn't have been serving them in the Senate since the Coolidge administration

At NYT, Ken Vogel writes about 2 Trump advisors traveling to #Srpska (the Serbian sliver of Bosnia-Herzegovina) to help the pro-Russian government run its campaign. At the same time, Mike Flynn happens to be in Srpska to pimp his propaganda film. (Funnily, both Vogel & Flynn have blocked me on X).

Jackson: "healthcare is hard for most people, and you made it worse by advancing the OBBBA" Collins: "I had to go without health insurance. In 1994. When I was running for governor" Can't have the choice put in starker terms than that, Maine!

Here's a nearly 10-minute supercut of Troy Jackson taking it to Susan Collins during their debate tonight, including Jackson telling her "you can't eat road salt" and "Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Time for the truth and reconciliation committees for past academic research. It's full of errors. If we're doing science, we should find out and correct the record.

After a brief but institution-eroding slop science era, it increasingly looks like we are going to have 2 revolutions from AI: 1) Everything ever published will be re-read and re-judged in ways that human scientists never anticipated 2) Novel discoveries will start to come faster than we can absorb
