I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

How deep do Bo French's ties to the University of Texas go? How about his dad having a room in the football facility named after him? And his noxious run for office is financed by prominent Longhorn boosters. That and A LOT more, in today's FOIAball. www.foiaball.com/p/texas-coll...

Bo French insulted Texas fans. Longhorn boosters fund him.
The school even had a room named after his dad.

Two months ago, Johan Sebastián Guerrero was murdered by ICE in Biddeford. As I heard on Sunday in Biddeford, this senseless murder was felt deeply by this whole community. ICE needs to be eliminated, full stop.

Trump's tariffs have cost Michigan $5,619 per household — higher than every other state — just so Trump can play his little vanity games. Rogers will never call this out because he's corrupt and a coward.

JD Vance called Susan Collins his “dear friend.” No wonder why — she's voted for Trump's agenda 96% of the time. I don’t need a half-dozen meetings with JD Vance or to pal around with billionaire hedge fund executives to know what Mainers are dealing with every day.

The thing that pisses me off most about Royce White is that he was given so many chances for his anxiety and abused the system repeatedly. Royce couldn't fly on planes due to his anxiety. He requested a bus to travel between games. They gave it to him. Then he stopped showing up anyway a month in.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Opinion release days are a big part of the Court's antiperformance-as-performance schtick. They are invested in performing nonchalance about the public's attitude toward them, but in order to do so, they of course need an audience. The secrecy about what exactly is coming guarantees they get one.
