📌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.

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

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.

ARIZONA! Andy Biggs serves no one but himself and his boss daddy Trump. Check out his voting record, his involvement with the J6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, AND his criminal participation in Trump’s “Stop the Steal” madness. Do NOT let him escape accountability and do NOT elect him as governor. 🤬

The Democratic Governors Association@demgovs.org · 2d ago

A hospital in Tuscon, Arizona closed its doors and laid off 99 employees, two months ahead of schedule, thanks to Medicaid cuts in Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill. GOP Congressman and current Republican nominee for Arizona governor Andy Biggs proudly supported these cuts.

“And look at who we’re talking abt here. Emily Moreno had every advantage a woman in this country can have. Money. A name. Lawyers. Photographs. A letter. An audio recording of the man discussing it. A U.S. senator for a father. And the finding was unsubstantiated, and he is on the ballot in Nov.” 😳

Trump has the leverage to threaten lives, not just theirs, but those they love or have close relationships with. I think this is what tRump is doing to everyone who crosses him. It's been Mob stuff since day 1. Same threats Epstein victims received. Slush fund will make it worse.

An ICE goon walked across the street and pepper sprayed a woman for filming him on her phone.

Rep. Max Miller, R-OH, took to social media today in an attempt to clear his name against abuse allegations by his ex-wife; so his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH, issued a public condemnation of Miller. #Messy 💙 Moreno, who maliciously screamed & swore at Dr. Anthony Fauci recently…

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.

This pathetic mutha fcker. 🙄 Something as GOT to give. How much longer must we endure this insanity? It’s TOO MUCH. 🤬

Bob Geiger@bobgeiger.bsky.social · 5d ago

Well, President Klansman doesn't like to acknowledge slavery so I guess that's not included. And Native-Americans suffered quite a bit. Lincoln and Kennedy were shot in the head. But, sure, nobody has endured more than him.

Jeff Tiedrich: “this level of fuckery is unsustainable. you cannot have a functional democracy when the party in power has had their brains pickled by counterfactual nonsense…then recklessly feeds that shit to their gullible base.” IKR?! Haven’t we been dealing w/this shit for AGES now? Omg wtf. 😩
