As someone who consumes propaganda all day long I’m really tired… What he really meant was… He was being sarcastic… It was a joke… I think he was trying to say… Journalists are NOT supposed to read minds. The quote is the quote. Only Trump can clarify what he meant.

Eight years ago today, Susan Collins cast the deciding vote that put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. That alone should be enough for Maine voters to boot her ass out of the Senate. And that's before you get to the corruption and the Trump bootlicking.

Trump is holding the G7 at his own golf resort so he can shovel more money from the US treasury into his private pocket, and collect from other governments, too. This time no one says a word about it, even though everyone thinks it's record-breaking corruption and sleaze.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
