Anyone expecting integrity, honesty, or compassion from these 2 isn’t very discerning. They are corrupt. They are cowards. They are malicious.

It should not be just the women calling for resignation & there need to be written rules, not based on whims of lying “protectors” like Mike Johnson.

When she gets this cover, is the ONLY time she votes as a reasonable, educated, intelligent person would rather than as a corrupt, cowardly sycophant.
D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social · 17h ago📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
None of the attorneys know what they are SUPPOSED to do, nor how to help these children???
Corey Rayburn Yung@coreyryung.bsky.social · 17h agoIn addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel.

Rick Scott has “done well for himself,” but hasn’t done anything for Floridians. @allinwithchris.bsky.social Denying & lying on women health, still cheating, refusing to accept Medicaid here, still lying about climate change, abt 2020 elections, about immigrants, the benefits they bring.
He’s holding up “grab em by the p*ssy” as a reason for continuing?

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 22h agoNEW: Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts is *pissed* at DOJ. She does not hold back, calling out DOJ's bad-faith litigating in the TPS cases, in addition to the overarching "shameful cruelty" of what the Trump administration is doing. From her latest order in the Somalia TPS case:
![Leaving aside the shameful cruelty inherent in eschewing a “wind down period” for
people under threat of deportation, many of whom are productive members of our communities
who have lived here for years, built a life here, worked here and raised their families here, the
Court is mindful of both the Supreme Court ruling and the recent First Circuit judgment in this
case. That said, the Court will also not abdicate its responsibility to make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions after affording all parties a full and fair opportunity to be heard. It is
therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs respond to Defendants’ motion to lift the stay, [ECF No.
97], by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026. The Court further amends the scheduling order on
supplemental briefing, [ECF No. 82]. Pursuant to the amended schedule, Defendants’ brief is
also due by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026, and any reply brief by Plaintiffs will be due by
5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2026. The Court anticipates a decision on Defendants’ motion, which
will be accompanied by a decision on Plaintiffs’ emergency motion if the Court decides to lift
the administrative stay, early next week. Should Defendants return to the First Circuit prior to
that as they threaten in their motion, the Court will assume that it has lost jurisdiction, which will
delay its rulings.
SO ORDERED.

They will vote to damage the health of every child, here & in nations we used to help. They will push for more guns, but gut SNAP & Medicaid. They will watch girls & women suffer w/o access to care when raped& w/o tx for miscarriages, abuse—while they cut minimum wages for care workers.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 22h agoRepublicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
It’s a slap in the face to every voter, to every female in this nation.
Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 22h ago"Today's vote to advance Todd Blanche is a slap in the face to the rule of law ... the senators with concerns about the slush fund & the Epstein files asked for a legally binding commitment & settled for a pinky promise."

There is NO question that Blanche is corrupt & Tillis, Cornyn, Cassidy, John Kennedy have deliberately lied, will be infamously remembered as our democracy falters.

Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find
In Thursday night's State of The Union, the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley took center stage. The suspect is a migrant. Republicans say immigration leads to crime, but there's no evidence of that.

WeCanSaveOurCountry@thisismyyear.bsky.social · yesterday"Stop migrant crime" Not WHITE crime, of course, because that would entail stopping crime from the GOP party, themselves, all the way up to the White House.

“Stripping minimum wage & OT protections” for the ppl who care for our most vulnerable? The harm is intentional, it’s real, & it’s unconscionable.
ACLU@aclu.org · 5d agoThe Labor Department is poised to issue regulations stripping minimum wage and overtime protections for more than one million home care workers, disproportionately immigrant women who provide vital care to seniors and people with disabilities. Care work is real work. Care workers deserve fair pay.
