This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp.
It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift.

I consistently share this anecdote any time I hear anyone opine on how the poor spend their money then move on to the fact that UBI experiments pretty solidly indicate that poor people overwhelmingly do not do this when you give them money
There's this story about how CS Lewis was out with a friend and stopped to give a vagrant some money. Lewis's friend chided him, saying "you know he's just to buy liquor with it, right?"
Lewis responded, "Well, so was I."
Lewis responded, "Well, so was I."
The right's obsession with SNAP recipients buying popsicles is a modern version of a centuries-old tradition of scolding the poor for what they eat. It mimics verbatim Victorian complaints about the poor indulging in tea and sugar, mistaking consumption as a cause of poverty instead of a symptom.

In fact, access to commissaries - and the lower cost food that it can provide, because IT IS THE GOVERNMENT AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE A PROFIT OR TAX ITSELF IT JUST WANTS YOU TO BE FED - is a prized thing.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.
They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.
No one has ever had a problem with their existence

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Also, Durbin was lying the whole time, because Feinstein’s condition was an open secret across both sides of the aisle in the Senate for months and he did and said nothing.
He is not a friend, he is not a flawed ally. He is an active enemy and should be treated like any other fascist.

Durbin lied on national television and said because Feinstein was sick and not physically there in person, it was impossible to issue subpoenas in regards to the SCOTUS corruption scandal.
But his own website specifically stated that they allowed proxy voting.

look at what this leadership did with oversight powers of SCOTUS in the middle of multiple devastating scandals for the conservatives. look at the half assed impeachments and half-assed oversight during the teens.

“If we fight united”
That’s it, Senator, no one believes you will. Not Trump and the GOP, who will go even harder now that they’ve seen what makes the Democratic caucus crack and fold. Not the base, which feels betrayed after helping the party to an electoral win.
Any plans to change anything?
