Linda D@busia11182020.bsky.social · 8h agoEveryone who thinks the Ds and Rs are the same can stick this in their ignorance. Dems that do this shit resign or lose support and get taken off the ballot. Max Miller had the backing of his party leadership.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · yesterdayThis is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
It's the ultimate Collins play: vote against the GOP when it won't matter, support them when it does.
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 15h agoI mean it seems pretty clear @stevemistler.bsky.social. They stopped the process to work out a deal with Tillis/Cornyn because Trump needed their votes. No one's talking about stopping the process now. In 29 years Susan Collins has NEVER cast a tie-breaking vote against a GOP nominee. #MEpolitics
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
How is any news org still writing this headline w/o laugh emojis? It's pathetic to treat this President as a serious person.

Awesome. So Trump only has to wait until they're gone to resurrect the fund, AND he, his sons, and the Trump organization get immunity from any fraud they've already committed. You should both be ashamed, and you will be remembered as failures. share.google/EXD0xhqY5tZM...

The US National Debt has now crossed $40 trillion dollars. That's an increase of nearly $4 trillion since Trump took office. Remember those campaign promises about cutting spending? Remember how DOGE gutted education, highways, health care, and other areas? So, where is all that money going?
If you hate data centers, here's another reason to vote against Collins.

DOJ has appealed nearly all of its voter roll defeats. Yet no court to date has ordered a state to provide the department with an unredacted statewide voter database.
