Susan Collins doesn’t understand how Trump could endorse someone who is unethical.

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect.
The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything."
He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades.

But you MUST FUCKING VOTE. And you must be an adult and vote for an imperfect candidate (ie: Clinton, Harris) when faced with an obviously worse choice in every imaginable way. You all could have stopped this madness before it cost us nearly everything. Now grow the fuck up and do what’s necessary.
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

In a very real way, the President of the United States should be held to the highest standard of conduct in the whole country.
Somehow, he’s held to a lower (nonexistent) standard of conduct than literally everyone else. It’s unfathomable.

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.
