A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.
Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

Trump is selling out our kids’ future so his fossil fuel billionaire friends can get even richer.

The science is clear. Climate change is an existential threat to the planet.

We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into sustainable energies.

Meet Texas Republican, Bo French.

One of his favorite phrases is “third world savages”—which he has applied to Afghan asylum seekers, Muslims, and even Native Americans, who he also wants deported.

He might win statewide office in Texas.
He Wants to Deport 100 Million “Third World Savages.” He May Win Statewide Office in Texas.
He calls his opponents “gay” and “retarded,” and he wants to deport 100 million “third world savages.” Naturally, he’s running for railroad commissioner.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

During this exchange Josh Hawley seems to be very concerned about politicians profiting from fraud and protecting child traffickers

Does anyone want to tell him
Hawley ended up getting so aggressive toward Ellison, including calling for his arrest, that even Rand Paul asked him to tone it down

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

I have given up almost all hope of seeing Republicans in Congress truly stand up to Trump when he is wrong. But if they ever do so, it's going to be after the party primaries. In which it's too late for Trump to endorse their opponents and end their precious careers.
