Troy Jackson: Eight years ago today, Maine women begged Susan Collins not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She did it anyway. He helped overturn Roe v. Wade. And today, she says she has no regrets. Would you trust her to pick the next Supreme Court justice?

Bingo. Even if they flip the Senate AND scrap the filibuster, Trump can veto anything he wants until noon on 1/20/29. Edit: Yes, they should pass positive policy stuff anyway, I just meant that people need to understand that it's possible NONE of it will actually be implemented due to his veto.

When a President with his own plane claims it's too hard for him to vote in person, would GOP politicians and Fox News like to explain why, for example, a working mother or someone working two jobs to pay the rent should have no problem waiting in line on election day?

I am aware of the ICE raid in Newburyport and condemn any violent action by Trump’s ICE thugs. There must be a thorough investigation and we must put an end to ICE’s reign of terror. Abolish ICE now.

Lake Mead just hit its lowest level on record. Arizona families, farms, and tribes depend on the Colorado River, & it's running dry. We can't wait any longer. Real climate action means protecting the water our communities need to survive. Data Centers will make this much worse. This is critical.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo dropped shortly after this segment. 🤔 Gov. Beshear says Republicans changed the law to stop him from appointing a U.S. senator if a vacancy occurs. He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority and says he’s ready to fight it in court.

America's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion. The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.
