Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI.

Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer.

If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

I’m honestly looking for answers to these questions:
Does this deal screw our democracy?
Are there any steps we can take now to avoid a screwing or at least postpone it until after the mid-terms?

I try not to buy into conspiracy theories, but this deal smells, and I’m worried.
