Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics

Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."

Having met him at a campaign stop I learned once you get used to the banjo sounds coming out of his mouth he's got the goods! I cornered him about ICE, data centers, rent/housing and left feeling great on all fronts.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

Heather Cox Richardson on the Susan Collins corruption revelations to her 2.5M subscribers. tinyurl.com/2vatdx7f #MEpolitics

Heather Cox Richardson: The bribery angle of this story is huge. So, too, is that the story suggests that Trump, at least, might perceive that he has something to hold over Collins’s head to keep her behind his actions, even when they have dramatically weakened her power at the head of Appropriations.

The "treat the US economy like a family budget" analogy was always bs - a real one is treat the US govt like an abusive family system, cause it is. Electeds are the parents who must acknowledge abuse & seek punishment of abusers so they're stopped AND we aren't doubly abused by leaders' neglect.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

"Crowd-sourced decisionmaking" = electoral politics & "emotionally cathartic path" = human rights. You're creating euphemisms to excuse democrats for throwing marginalized groups under the bus when it's politically expedient & the point is it isn't!! It's immoral AND a loser.

Fascinating detail.

The news industry in the US used to hold corporations more accountable for the quality of their products and service. But consumer-facing business news was decimated when local newspapers disappeared and national news outlets shifted their corporate coverage to focus on investors.
