My #Obamacare monthly premium for 2027 is a 300% increase from 2026, which itself was a 125% increase from 2025. Republicans making Americans' lives easier and better every day!

So they'll allow something dangerous, dehumanizing, and unsafe to contain for a long time, and then maybe look at the legality of it. Great.

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.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

After his testimony, there is no doubt that the rule was changed for one specific person that Kash Patel knows personally and he wants to hire (or already hired) and their circumstance is definitely not "trafficking victim."

Why does Susan Collins refuse to appear at any events with Trump or Vance? Isn’t she proud of her party’s president and VP, whose agenda she has supported completely on every single meaningful vote? Why is Susan hiding from her party leaders?

Bresnahan sounds like he's avoiding having to answer, and he's also a phony that NEPA is going to vote out in November.

Susan Collins only takes a stand when it's symbolic, not meaningful. Of course she voted with Dems when it doesn't count.

If they're willing to storm the Capitol by the thousands, chanting for the death of the Vice President of the United States and Speaker of the House, then pour into the Capitol by the thousands attacking cops and defecating everywhere, imagine what sort of Nazi gives them $250M

It's absolutely bonkers. This is not a *win* for Trump in any way. But his lies make his ego feel better, I suppose.

In the debate, Trump said that US doctors are killing just born babies that their mothers wanted aborted, i.e. Murder In The Hospital Delivery Suite, and Jake Tapper nodded, thanked him, and moved on. It was and remains inexcusable.

Thanks once again, Justice Kavanaugh.
Acting under the pretext of immigration enforcement, the Trump administration has sent both Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to terrorize the people of Minneapolis. Masked paramilitaries stalk streets, schools, businesses and other places of public accommodation in search of anyone deemed “illegal,” regardless of whether they’re citizens or legal residents. Using race as part of their criteria — a now-legal tactic, thanks to a recent opinion from Justice Brett Kavanaugh — armed officers go door to door through neighborhoods searching for Latino, Asian and African people to detain.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

Trump-Era Bonus: the extra judicial murders of fishermen in the Caribbean by the military.

pumpkinandy @pumpkinandy.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
In plain sight, in front of a silent Congress, Trump helps himself to millions in taxpayer money, and has the military carry out the extra judicial murders of fishermen in the Caribbean for his enjoyment and pleasure. How is this happening in America?

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
