California democrat. Painfully earnest introvert--the worst combination. I believe in showing up. Trying to make sense of this world and be happy at the same time.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

Elon Musk is now using his control of SpaceX, a US government contractors, to wage his own private foreign policy which is directly at odds with US government policy and instead supports a mortal adversary. This, in a word, is treason.

Officials in Kent County, Mich., promised they'd stop handing over immigrants in jail to ICE w/o judicial warrant. That didn't happen. Many of those arrested weren't charged w/ a crime - including women who say they're the victims of domestic violence. Our story: www.propublica.org/article/dome...

Pope Leo apparently was never a smoker, and the type of lung cancer he has is the one most commonly found in non-smokers. Radon gas & chronic inflammation are up there, along with just general “pollution.” No history he worked with asbestos. His lobectomy may be curative if it was caught early.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.
