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.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
The great MICHAEL KEATON’s ‘Bed Bath & Beyond’ stuff was completely improvised. Adam McKay just set up the scene, pointed the cameras at him and just let him riff. THE OTHER GUYS (2010)
The combination of corruption and stupidity is mindblowing. And not one Republican will do a thing about it.
Matt Royer 🤘🏼@mattroyer.bsky.social · 5d agoThey were ready to convict a 67-year-old American citizen of a felony rather than admit a $14.6M no-bid pool job was botched. Their own court filing says botched. This morning the President said he disagrees with his own prosecutor 100%. The charges are gone. He is still making them.
Virginia’s governor restored voting rights to 66,085 people in six months. Her predecessor: a few thousand a year. The constitution strips the vote for any felony unless a governor personally acts. November’s ballot: an amendment making it automatic. So the right never depends on who wins.
Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
Yes they do and he needs to file a malicious prosecution suit.

Just so we are clear, if Dems take back the house in the midterms, there better be non stop hearings like this into the blatant corruption demonstrated by the Trump administration.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · last wk.Absolute clown show. But the republicans are getting their soundbites, which was the whole purpose of this farce
The older I get the more confident I become that libertarian isn’t really a thing. It’s just what folks say so they can pretend to like small govt but freak out when it doesn’t suit them.
Jim Joneson@jonesonjim.bsky.social · last wk.Rand Paul calling the 5th amendment a "privilege" and threatening to punish those who invoke it is QUITE the look for a so-called "libertarian" #FuckTheseFascists
How is it possible we live in a political environment that the senate is confident enough that Trump would pardon Maxwell that they needed to pass this resolution?

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. I founded Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

They are hiding the Epstein files and this is what the Heritage foundation is worried about?
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w agoA federal appeals court has cleared the way for the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, to obtain redacted transcripts and audio recordings of former president Joe Biden’s conversations with the writer who helped prepare his 2017 memoir.
They are so currupt that we literally just forgot that one of their leaders accepted $50k in cash in a CAVA bag. And just nothing ever happened…
