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.

Democrats in Congress must refuse to aid and abet the crimes being committed by Republicans against all non-wealthy Americans with Trump's Big Butt-Ugly Bill. The Democrats' actions will soon tell American voters with certainty if they are REALLY supporting the working class of the USA. Just say NO!

This Day in History...

October 11, 2002: Former President Jimmy Carter wins Nobel Peace Prize for decades of humanitarian work.

Today: Donald J. Trump will continue whining that he hasn't received a Nobel, as if they're participation trophies awarded to international pariahs.

Republicans want to be the party of healthcare? Open up the government. Put the subsidies back in place, and stop fucking with people’s health care.

You knew there was a reason TACO was interested in Argentina and that it had to do with corruption ...

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 16h

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
