Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

AGREE with one exception: The time to remove “centrist Dems” is NOW IN PRIMARIES. In November our choice is binary - Democrats V Republicans, as we have no multi-party system. Now is NOT a time for far Left (divide the Left) 3rd Party like DSA, as Putin & RU trolls know!

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states.

The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination.

Screwworm cases continue to rise.

And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record.

Heads up:

Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names:

Marketside (sold at Walmart)

Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms)

Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods)

Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh.

AVOID ALL OF THEM

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round.

Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

Another smear on the US’s reputation.
The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born.

Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care.

Disgraceful.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Donald Trump as we head into the midterm elections—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building up a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees.

Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?
