@troyjackson207.bsky.social held his own tonight against Collins, but I hope next time he goes after her votes to confirm Trump nominees like the departed Noem and Bondi, and the all too present HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and OMB director Russell Vought. 1/2 www.thebulwark.com/p/susan-coll...

Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

(1) Susan Collins looks ancient in this debate (2) Basically Collins wants a cookie for getting Trump to withhold part of his absurdly unconstitutional tariffs, when senators should be fighting to end them all: congress, not the president, controls taxation.

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.
