Ringwood Rascal

I was a long time Republican, but W cured me. I've been a Dem ever since. 28 years in DoD. TS clearance. RETS and Rutgers Nwk grad. NJ proud. Originally from Kearny moved to Ringwood in 1977. Chats only with close friends and family.
Collins says she's a "No" vote. (She apparently has permission because they don't need her vote to confirm.) No word about Murkowski.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayActing AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

What she says before the vote and how she actually votes are two separate things. I don’t believe that bitch.
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.
This pic has been going around for months. Still nothing. I don’t hold my breath on it.
ElizabethC 💙🐸@econklin44.bsky.social · 18h agoWe can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Despite being shown boxes of evidence by his own appointee, Trump would rather punish innocent American citizens to cover his mistakes. The man is a monster and everyone that supports him should be voted out of office Sometimes it’s that simple.
Trump on Congressman Max Miller's allegations of domestic abuse: "I hope he's able to work it out. I feel bad for him."
Q: What do you think about your meeting yesterday with Jeanine Pirro? Trump: She's very wrong. It was major vandalism and I told her I was not happy

Republicans wrote the Big Ugly Bill to funnel cash to billionaires — and they used your grandmother's Medicare as the piggy bank. Half a trillion in cuts start January 1. Vote them all out. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.
Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.

President Trump Appears More Involved In His Businesses Than Previously Known

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
