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.

They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.

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.

Look at what they do, not what they say.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

It's interesting how they literally tell us what they do.

If our states can’t rely on the federal government to represent and protect us, then we need our states to stop sending our tax dollars to Washington.

just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack

Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.

In light of the preemptive announcement of Rand Paul and other Republicans that their whole intention in calling Dr Fauci for a hearing is to entrap him into false statements so he can be prosecuted, Fauci is handling this just right. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

Fmr Border Patrol Cmdr Greg Bovino confirms Israel's IDF has been training Border Patrol, ICE agents, & law enforcement "They sent me to a VIP security school, run by the Israelis. That school was for all law enforcement. They contracted with Israeli instructors, and they were really good!"

David Brouillette, according to the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, is no outlier. On July 22, the advocacy group released a list of 59 active and former ICE and CBP agents charged with sexual and violent crimes between 2007 and 2026.

In a free country, failing to comply with law enforcement does not give the state license to murder you

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

Trump is the most corrupt president in history.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

The robots cost more to replace.

Mike Lindell, recovering crack cocaine addict and presumptive GOP nominee to be governor of Minnesota, turns out to be a citizen and resident of Texas, who registered to vote, and actually voted, there. Which means he has committed voter fraud. www.startribune.com/mike-lindell...

UPDATE: ProPublica is tracking the increase in immigrants filing claims that their detention is illegal — known as habeas cases. While new cases are being added at a somewhat slower rate, there are still far more than ever before: https://propub.li/4yiYGwu

Maybe they could ask the man who wants to be Attorney General how he thinks the Department of Justice would prosecute someone who repeatedly lied under oath to a Senate committee in a confirmation hearing?

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!
