Susan Collins does not respect the opinions of Maine voters | Opinion The senator's support of the SAVE America Act goes directly against state voters' strong statement against voting restrictions in 2025.

“Maine leads the nation in voter participation, and we should be proud of our safe and fair elections.”

And we already know the answers, don't we. Given the racial profiling & the brutish violence we've already seen, these are fearsome prospects.

Acc. to credible sources, DHS have failed to meet the quotas set for them, yet the fed'l gov't is purchasing land and bldgs for concentration camps vastly exceeding those numbers. QUESTIONS we need to ask: whom do they expect to fill those camps, and by what means will they be arrested and detained?

Anyone else remember the testimony during the House's January 6 investigation when it was reported that DJT, uttered the question, "Can't we just...?" while making a plucking out motion with his thumb and index finger, meaning just remove things from files? Yeah, that. A pattern?

Can’t wait to see how 🍊💩greets the SCOTUS Justices (or not) on Tuesday night’s State of the Union—well, actually, *clips* of that moment on social media. No way am I watching that.

I’ve been wondering whether/when Bezo’s vast logistics infrastructure will be tapped. He’s got immense transport networks and warehouse capacity ready for government contracts. Isn’t that how all this works?

Like Susan Collins, but with a conscience.

South Korea, leading by example...

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

Anyone else out there thinking about @crockett.house.gov in the fog of all the Talarico love? It’s complicated, I know, but I’m so uncomfortable with all the attention going to the white boy primary challenger. It feels really cringy and troubling. Nothing against him, but …

Well, not yet.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Mackenzie Scott decided to establish a new newspaper in D.C.? I hear there are a lot of very good and serious journalists looking for work.

Hard to tell; the public announcements don't always reflect what's happening on the ground. This repost was largely in response to the decision that just came down in the Fifth Circuit.

Wish I didn’t have to repost this…

Every American needs to watch this:

Agree, though this is really unfair to porcupines.

Your discussion of the difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories is so helpful on this issue.

Melania review – Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

We went to Greenland to tell a very serious story. Then we met a Donald Trump impersonator licking an iceberg. - The Boston Globe Trump’s takeover talk has cooled. Greenland is left with the consequences.

The comment section of BDN and KJ are evidence of loathing of JM. Reference to sternly worded letters was actually a reference to Schumer and his approach. He is a Mills champion.

Actually, no. These are my own observations. You’ll notice, the question was whether P could win, not whether I support him. Also, I didn’t say M was a bad choice, just that she has weaknesses. It’s an open question who will win the primary, but I will happily cast my vote for whichever D wins.

2/2: She is also loathed by Repubs & Indeps, unlike Platner. It’s not Mills’ age per se that I object to. I’d like to move away from the trad. weakness of Dems as oppo party and try smthng new. She is very much “same old.” If you like the Senate’s current “stern words” approach, Mills is your gal.
