Sen. Susan Collins cast the pivotal vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. He then helped overturn Roe v. Wade four years later. Now she’s battling for her Senate seat in the midterms, and abortion rights groups are betting that voters haven’t forgotten how she contributed to the fall of Roe.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I will be curious to see what all these folks who are joining themselves at the hip to the child-raping traitor Trump do when he finally goes down. Will they pretend they never heard of him? That's what he would do to them. They need to decide quick, because the landslide has already started.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Free advice to my friends in Portland, from someone who helped stop school closures in Seattle: Solidarity is the only way to win. If you try and pick and choose which schools to close, you lose. And remember: the evidence is very clear that closing schools doesn’t save money.

In 2 weeks, Portland Public Schools will unveil school closure scenarios. Some parents are already taking sides
Some are are organizing to stop any talk of closures in its tracks. Others are focusing their advocacy on which schools should close.
