"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Why would they even pose and post this? Doesn’t advance their official missions. Doesn’t help citizens. I guess it’s self-promotion for post-Trump jobs.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson. The demographic that actually purchases heavy-duty diesel trucks and fills them up at the pump is highly specific: Gender: Fully 90% of diesel truck buyers are men. Race: More than 84% identify as white.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

I remember Jon Stewart saying he first knew New Yorkers were going to be ok after 9/11 when he went down to the site, saw first responders with Yankees caps, Mets caps, even Red Sox caps, and saw one in a Yankees cap sifting rubble look up at his Bostonian counterpart and say "Hey... hey! Sox suck!"

Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, admits errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, NOT VANDALISM, caused the pool’s blue liner to peel and break loose. Atlantic is being paid $14.7 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

Reflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Damage
The contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.
