Newsmax, Faux , CNN re all arms of TASS

Collins Watch @collinswatch.bsky.social · 14h

Susan Collins and her allies (Newsmax donated to her super PAC last cycle) are trying to find a way to plausibly argue that, when the shutdown ends, she was the one who "solved" it.

They pulled the same ploy in 2013. Got debunked (tinyurl.com/2f7kd9fu) but too many outlets played along. #MEpolitics

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I know. Its used universally but only taboo in the U.S.
It's the worst word possible here in the states but it perfectly describes MAGA, GOP,and our corrupt feckless,criminal, joke of a government. I'm sorry, but big dummy and poo-poo head just aren't doing the job.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Trump has been blessed by the Supreme Court with monarchical immunity. Even if one officer declines an illegal order, Trump can just keep firing people until he gets to another officer who is enough of a coward, or opportunist, or true MAGA believer, to carry out the order.(Atl.)

Nearly half of businesses have reported raising prices due to Trump's tariffs.

Two-thirds have seen sales drop.

Remember that promise to lower prices on Day 1?

Americans cannot afford Donald Trump's economic policies.

Russian Ron Johnson was also one of the Moscow 8 Republicans that visited Moscow on July 4, 2018 instead of celebrating America's independence with their local constituents. (7 Senators & 1 member of the House)

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
