COLLINS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED! Susan Collins has made several decisions that made all of us clutch our pearls. She voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and women lost their rights. She voted to confirm vaccine denier RFK, Jr. as Health Secretary and now measles are back in America.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

Doug Ford: "Jobs number went down in the US last month while Ontario gained 52,000 jobs, more than the entire US combined ... I feel terrible for the people in the US"

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

If you feel bad for Natalie Harp, YOU are the problem. Toxic forgiveness. You are the reason Americans forgot how bad Bush was in TWO years.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

Yeah these guys gotta go. When they lose the House or the Senate their markets will be used for election denial. Gotta rip the wires out.

The fact that Merrick Garland is NOT perceived to be an enemy of that asshole, should be investigated. Why the hell does FuckFaceVonClownStick hate Jack Smith but not Garland? Something is rotten in Denmark.

Mitch McConnell’s absence and the deceit around it is an insult to the American people. That is OUR Senate he’s fucking with. I could not be more disgusted with Andy Beshear. Appoint a replacement and dare the Republicans to do something about it! Make them put up or shut up!!

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

Here's the argument that the 2024 GOP law is unconstitutional & Beshear has the right to appoint a senate replacement when one dies. But winning the legal challenge is not the point. Beshear acting is about showing Democrats as fighters, win or lose. It's about giving people something to vote for.

We fill the seat with a Democrat, that way they will be 2 votes down. If the Repugs refuse to swear in the Democrat then they will remain seat down. And have to challenge/clarify Kentucky state law.

MDP reposted

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnell’s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.
