When a white Christian man points a loaded pistol at three caroling children, the conservative newspapers call him a “Scrooge” and a “grinch”

If a Jewish person or a Muslim person politely says “happy holidays,” it’s a “War On Christmas”

DOGE was a group of hackers, and they were young, so they will live long enough to be prosecuted.

"Why did you slip in a provision to pay GOP senators $500,000?" is a question that could be asked of Susan Collins if even one reporter in Maine or DC had the temerity to pose it to her.

(Same is true of: "Why have you held zero oversight hearings under Trump?") #MEpolitics
On Maine right-wing radio this morning, Susan Collins says she was “responsible for not only putting the bill together, but also managing it on the Senate floor, dealing with proposals to change it…”

So why did she slip in the provision to pay GOP Senators 500k?

You can’t have accountable government if agencies stop publishing data needed to evaluate their actions. DHS, ICE, and State have halted core reporting on removals, detentions, and visas. Our assessment warns that suppressing public data is a key autocratic indicator.

Trump Administration Stops Publishing Immigration Data as It Ramps Up Deportations
“There's no accountability, no way to assess, no public understanding about what's really going on,” an immigration expert said.

From the beginning, Angus's argument has boiled down to 'If we don't give Trump what he wants, he might make things even worse' and you don't have to be a philosophy professor to figure out why that's a flawed, feeble and cowardly line of reasoning. #MEpolitics

www.oregonlive.com/business/202... Feds insisted that grocery stores not offer discounts for SNAP recipients...that is cruel.
Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative
The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

There you have it.

Susan Collins reportedly waits till the last minute to see if Trump needs her vote to let him keep killing people indiscriminately without due process; it turns out he DOES need it; so she provides it.

A pretty simple system! (Not so great for Maine. Or fishermen.) #MEpolitics

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Mike Johnson has an app on his phone that alerts his son any time he visits a news website.
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.
