The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
@msignorile.bsky.social Tillis and Cornyn are obliged to vote Yea on Blanche in the full Senate to allow for Collins to vote Nay in order to remain in contention for reelection. @siriusxmprog.bsky.social
Spirit Halloween is opening more stores this year than ever before. That is a massive fucking recession indicator.

And there it is. "Domestic violence is not a social issue, it's a family matter." The New York Times uses GOP language in the header, reminding us the paper values affluent readers above all others, and doesn't want to upset them for supporting wife-beaters and child rapists as our leaders.

NYT calls it Trump's "pet theory" which is condescending to the reader as well as Trump. Gah! www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · 4d agoWhat do you even call it when he continues, despite all evidence, to insist on something that doesn’t exist? “Lie” isn’t sufficient. A deception campaign? The sign of a mental disorder? Delusion? Attempted gaslighting? Self-gaslighting? (Does he really believe it?)
The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

Awful: The local press in Maine is crediting Susan Collins for getting Trump to agree to ICE bodycams nationwide. It's cynical BS: She voted for $70 billion in ICE money and against requiring bodycams. But this kind of thing is why she could still win. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
Think of Trump as a boil — an infected pustule on the giant ass of the American system. The boil would have become infected eventually because of deeper flaws in how the system has evolved. Let me introduce you to the first piece of why our system is failing: Jamie Dimon.

“‘I’m sick of this, you know I never hurt our daughter. Take this however you want, everyone is going to get to know you better than your wife does,’ Miller wrote. ‘Enjoy the ride brother, I wouldn’t have to do this if you could keep your lying daughter under control.’”
This should be front-page news: Trump's idiotic, vainglorious war has already used up half of the entire U.S. military supply of interceptor missiles. Trump is risking the national security of the country in a doomed attempt to salve his ego. He must be stopped. www.forever-wars.com/the-math-beh...
Kudos to Disney/ABC for fighting back and speaking the truth about Trump's FCC: “The retaliation against ABC is a signal to every media company in the country: accommodate the Administration’s view of what news coverage should look like or pay the price." www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...
The Real Reason Elon Musk Keeps Insisting DOGE Cuts Killed “Zero” Kids
In his explosive interview with The Economist, the SpaceX billionaire inadvertently revealed something darker about his true vision for the future—and about his affinities with global fascism.
