Susan Collins says she's in favor of the SAVE Act, which is the Trump push to overhaul how elections are administered. wgme.com/news/local/c...
The bill would impose voter ID requirements... which Mainers literally just rejected in a referendum in November. boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

I have to say I don't watch the Colbert show (nothing personal I don't really watch talk shows) and it got me to watch.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Spoiler alert: Elon Musk will not build a colony or an outpost or so much as an outdoor toilet on the Moon. Not in ten years. Not in twenty years. Not ever. When your dipshit friend or relative expresses excitement over his announcement, just change the subject. There's no point. It's a cult.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

They're actively succeeding in building a state media apparatus akin to what they have in Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia, but our corporate press is already so broken and captured it's incapable of or unwilling to communicate that to anybody

So once again, autopilot is a fallacy. Life is too complicated for autopilot on our streets. Life is not a controlled environment. Life is not on tracks or in a maze. I'm not saying it's not possible sometime in the future, it's just not reality now.
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines

Would R voters forgive Trump on the Epstein files, roving bands of masked immigration agents killing people in the streets, and spiraling costs that he said he'd bring down on day 1? I don't know. They seem willing to forgive him for a lot.
