A blockbuster Susan Collins scandal, GOP panic as the midterm map shifts, a Trump-loving Republican scrubs Trump from his site, Trump threatens to “annihilate” Iran at the UN, a GOP senator calls for an investigation into Don Jr., Trump TV flops, and AOC talks 2028. And that’s just the start.

well known in Maine media that even mild criticism of Collins leads to angry phone calls - often from her: "Whenever I talk to political communications staffers from out of state they are always amazed how resistant the legacy Maine media is to reporting anything negative about Collins’ record"

At some point those of us in the pro-democracy movement need to stop worrying about Donald Trump and Republicans attacking us over false claims of voter fraud. Instead we need to take steps to protect and expand voting rights and let Trump call us names.

SCOTUS is so crooked, that even when the Chief Justice notes that Shiler's decision to build his ballroom is "lawless", the 5 most-crooked Justices, vote that he can do it. THEY KNOW it's BREAKING THE LAW, and they still allow it. My God, how corrupt can our government get? They don't care we know!

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Tonight, we secured a court order protecting Oregonians’ voting rights. A federal court blocked the key provisions of the U.S. Postal Service’s rule restricting delivery of mail-in ballots, siding with Oregon and our coalition. #orpol
“This is a win for every Oregon voter,” said Attorney General Dan Rayfield. “Oregonians have trusted vote-by-mail for more than 25 years because it works. It’s secure, it’s convenient, and it lets every eligible voter make their voice heard – and today the court agreed that Donald Trump can’t upend that system just a few months before ballots go out.“The Postal Service does not get to decide who receives a ballot in Oregon. That authority belongs to the states, and this order confirms it. While this fight isn’t over, this ruling means Oregon voters can count on the system they know as we head into the fall election.”
