7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Lots of coverage of Trump on renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England or New Hampshire or New Jersey or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's childish idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle.

Susan Collins has confirmed at least 16 anti-abortion judges in Trump’s second term. Some Mainers may think their reproductive and civil rights are safe and still vote for her, but any of these freaks could tee up a SCOTUS case that takes the entire country backwards mainedems.org/susan-collin...

Collins Confirms Two More Anti-Choice Judges
Susan Collins just voted to confirm Tony Mattivi and Anthony Powell to lifetime seats on the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.

[then a list showing 14 more, split across two screenshots]
Collins has continued to “rubber stamp” Trump-appointed anti-choice judges who have advocated for and defended near-total abortion bans in states. In the past few months alone Collins confirmed:

Whitney Hermandorfer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, who was lead counsel in a case defending Tennessee’s total abortion ban.

Maria Lanahan to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, who defended Missouri’s near-total abortion ban, and helped author and argue Missouri’s complaint seeking to restrict the use and access to mifepristone, a common medication abortion pill.

Jennifer Mascott to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who urged the court to overturn Roe and return it to the “dustbin of history,” then praised the Dobbs ruling, testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the Court’s decision to leave in place Texas’ extreme abortion ban.

William Mercer to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, who “has repeatedly supported anti-abortion bills.”

Chad Meredith to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, who is staunchly anti-abortion and has even defended abortion restrictions in Kentucky.

Jordan Pratt to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, who authored an amicus brief in support of Florida’s abortion ban where he called abortion “barbaric.”

Rebecca Taibleson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, who testified that she believed the three-year-old Dobbs decision that gutted federal protections to abortion was “controlling precedent and settled law.” In addition to clerking for Brett Kavanaugh, Tabileson testified in front of the Senate to de…screenshot 2/2, showing 7 more judges:

Edmund LaCour, Jr. to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, who as solicitor general for Alabama, defended an Alabama abortion ban that makes no exceptions for rape or incest, and wrote that life begins at conception. LaCour also argued landmark reproductive rights cases, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, were “illegitimate.”

Joshua Dunlap to the U.S Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which includes Maine, who advocated for a “fetal personhood bill” in Maine that would have laid the groundwork for criminalizing abortion care.

Eric Tung to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, who reportedly has “close ties to the anti-abortion movement,” “worked extensively with the architect of Texas’ heartbeat bill” and testified during his confirmation hearing he did not believe there was not “a constitutional right to abortion or same-sex marriage.

David Bragdon to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, who compared abortion to murder and said women “must face the consequences” of unintended pregnancy.

Robert Chamberlin to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, who sponsored numerous anti-abortion laws while serving in the Mississippi state legislature, including one that bans abortion at conception.

William Crain to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, who campaigned on an anti-abortion platform when he ran for the Louisiana Supreme Court. While serving on the court in 2022, Crain voted to keep Louisiana’s strict abortion ban in effect, which includes no exceptions for rape or incest.

Katie Lane to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, who previously served as counsel in a case seeking to block abortion care in Guam. As Montana’s assistant solicitor general, she also urged the Montana Supreme Court to overturn a 23-year-old precedent protecting the constitutional right to abortion in the …
