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.

But he is the progressive wing lol. He literally was a DSA member who does performative bs all the time & quit them because of the outright pro-Hamas rally before Israel even retaliated after 10/7. His opponent was endorsed by the CBC. Y’all gotta make up your minds with these dumb labels. 😂

Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., has dropped his reelection campaign after the House Ethics Committee released a report alleging he had persistent, unprofessional, and inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers. Rep. Edwards has called the allegations baseless.

My equally ice cold boring take is you underestimate The Bernie Left's obsession with attaching apocalyptic overtones to every race one of his acolytes wins. The margin of victory and the character of the person who wins - hello, Graham Platner - is irrelevant.

My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

Doctors say that you should eat a balanced diet that includes whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seat seats and doesn’t wipe his ass says you should subsist entirely on sauerkraut and steak. For a busy eaters it can be hard to know who to trust.

The thing about Medicare for All is do we trust the Trump regime of any future Republican pres empowered by SCOTUS’ “Unitary Executive Theory” to administer, manage and fund it fairly and appropriately? If he has full control over Exec branch, what’s to stop him from firing everyone and impoundment?

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

And now my state is cloaked in a suffocating blanket of smoke as our forests, towns and homes burn. These fires and this smoke did not happen when I was a kid—this is the impact of man-made climate change that Big Oil has spent millions to hide. Can’t hide it anymore assholes!

Republican legislators, strategists and donors are the creepiest, most perverted, corrupt and creepy ass mf’ers—from their involvement with Epstein and the Epstein cover up, to their *obsession* with inspecting child athlete genitals, all the sexual abuse, and domestic violence. Rotten to the core!!

Y’all are racist as HELL. And you really think we can’t see you saying this mess in👏🏾broad👏🏾daylight👏🏾 Your coded “low information voters” rhetoric translates to indignation that we have the nerve to think for ourselves—you resent that you can’t get us to fall for the okie doke. Racist and dumb.
