Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.

Now that Virginia in-person early voting is underway it is heartening that there are no reports that I have seen of ICE or other law enforcement activity at voting locations. Early voting in the canary in the coal mine

These allegations are a bombshell: the FBI informant claims Collins was in a pay-to-play scheme where donors to her Super-PAC were rewarded with government contracts. Trump stopped the investigation when he came into his office second term. As Collins would say, "concerning"

I genuinely did not know this. Fitzpatrick has coasted in a Democratic-leaning district for years. He has the unearned reputation of being a moderate. That is utter horseshit. If the people of Bucks County know what they are doing, they will toss him out on his ass this fall.

Republicans huffed Trump's 2024 election performance while gerrymandering www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Republicans might still lose half the seats they gerrymandered to flip
With some gerrymandered seats looking much more competitive than they hoped, Republicans are wondering if mid-decade redistricting can actually save their majority.

When you read some media say "Democrats claim the Trump's mail ballot EO will disrupt the election" know that for a fact if SCOTUS allowed it to happen it would be a complete and utter shitshow. Nothing is in place, much less tested, and deadlines described in the EO have already passed

It is my profound hope that the incoming democratic president signs a one line executive order on day 1 declaring all of Trump's orders null and void and demanding that any likeness of him, his name, or mention of him be removed from all monuments and federal facilities.

Trump this year has backed eight candidates for governor and the House who lost primaries against a candidate he did not support. But the list is longer than that thanks to drop outs and dual endorsements Trump made after his original picks faltered.

Ignoring all of the Dan Sullivan v Dan Sullivan confusion, both ran as republicans. The total R vote was 48.1%, while the total D vote was 49.7%, 48% of which were Peltolta. In other words, she got nearly as much as the entire republican field. I like our chances. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration is far more cruel and illegal than in the first term, Trump himself more deranged and corrupt. And yet he's still only roughly as unpopular as the first time, and the generic ballot is actually a point _closer_ than in 2018. The Overton window is for real and it sucks.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
