Susan Collins is the Queen of the Meaningless Vote.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · yesterdaySusan 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.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
WOW. New reporting reveals that after Epstein survivors met with Todd Blanche, it was clear he hadn't even read the Epstein Files. He is unfit to be Attorney General.
It’s no surprise that Cronyn caved. It’s no surprise that tRump will get everything he wanted. It’s no surprise that the American people are the only ones being screwed. It’s no surprise that the DOJ will remain toxic and a place of retribution. When will we wake up? #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
Harry Litman@harrylitman.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Blanche statement that likely now secures his confirmation does nothing to abrogate Trump’s rights in the slush fund and perpetuates the outrageous tax amnesty for Trump and family, which the American people are paying for without getting anything in return. It’s all lip service and a travesty.
Every court victory matters, but some are sweeter than others. Congrats to the Elias Law Group team and our client Senate Majority PAC for this well earned victory for free speech and the 1st Amendment.
So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
Susan Collins always finds the money to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. But when our rural maternity wards are shuttering across Maine, she tells us we're on our own. Together, we can defeat her, we can save Miles Labor & Delivery, and we can create a state worthy of those who call it home.
LOL. Less than a day after claiming he thinks “there’s a deal,” Trump is now accusing Iran of lying about the talks and demanding either a deal or Iran’s “total surrender” Trump is either a pathological liar trying to manipulate the markets, or he’s being played for a fool by the Iranians Or both
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the courage of congressional Republicans.
In 2021 Capital One told Trump org. that it had to close 350 accounts & move their business elsewhere. Trump did what he always does: he sued, saying they closed his accounts over "wokeness" after Jan 6th. The bank has told the judge that they had concerns about MONEY LAUNDERING.
Capital One says it closed Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns
The bank is asking a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit from Trump-affiliated businesses, arguing a monthslong internal review — not the Jan. 6 riot — explains why hundreds of accounts were shut d...

he hasn't always thought this, but his big soft spot is his notion that Russia has this history that lasted for 1,000 years, which is totally absurd. That in that history Russia and Ukraine have always been together, and Ukraine therefore has never really existed as any kind of autonomous thing.
What a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.

Every human soul has been through some kind of pain, or grief. And so we can recognize it in each other. When we do, in general, we don't first ask "which party do you belong to?". We simply offer an ear, a shoulder, support. It's what MAKES us human. Don't let yourself be stripped of compassion!
1/ Stephen Miller just said antifascist protesters are “deformed” and their “outer appearance” reveals “inner hatred.” A senior US official said this out loud, on the record, at a government summit. Sit with that for a second. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
I cannot find words. This is ONE of many horrible events happening to people right here ....to say nothing of the other horrors we are inflicting elsewhere. They do everything in our name, on our dime. Start w voting out the magagop responsible for all this. #iceOut #v4v #dv2 #usDemocracy
The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.

Max Miller: “If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?" This is a classic abuser tactic.
Even if you maga folks don’t love democracy, I don’t think you will much enjoy living under a Trump dictatorship. Do you think you will enjoy living off meager state issued rations like they do in N Korea? Do you think you can survive having a salary of $300-900 like they do in Russia? #Pinks

Sen. Bernie Moreno Doesn't 'Know' if Embattled Rep. Max Miller Should Stay on Ballot
The senator’s daughter accused Miller of domestic violence. Miller denies the allegations, but they’re making his reelection race tighter.
notus.org
Miller broke his toddler daughter's collarbone and this chud Moreno is just fine with that. He also threw scalding water at Moreno's daughter, who is Miller's wife and the mother of that injured toddler. Moreno is a coward and an utter failure as a father.
It remains incomprehensible to me that anyone would destroy their families and their lives for one of the vilest, most corrupt people to ever exist on Earth. And he is so obviously a horrible human being. They're doing it for that guy? Make it make sense!
If they try that cheating bullshit in the midterms, they're going to find out real fast.
Tired of using the very kind term “centrists” so I’ll be using “right wing liberals” from here on out.
