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.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right? Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app
just a reminder that Bernie Moreno is covering up the domestic abuse *of his own daughter*
Aaron RuparMoreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
There is no longer any choice. We have to see a full UEFA withdrawal from FIFA. Private investment has absolutely no place in an organising body which has a moral duty to both remain neutral and be fully accountable. Infantino is a blight on the game and completely unfit for the role.

For anyone who needs encouragement this is precisely how to fight fascism! #SheShed #ImpeachIndictRemove
We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.
Aaron RuparRFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃
Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
"[I-638] will drive 1000s of girls out of sports because their parents cannot afford the necessary testing or refuse to submit their daughters to genital inspections. That’s a feature, not a bug, of these laws. Preventing girls from playing sports is the whole point." @nohateinwastate.bsky.social
Anti-Trans Legislation Isn't About "Protecting Girls"—It's About Distracting Us From What Matters"If we really cared about safety and fairness in sports, we’d be breaking down barriers facing girls at every level," writes Megan Rapinoe.www.marieclaire.com

@govandybeshear.bsky.social With heavy disappointment I agree with the assessment of this post on Governor Beshear. There is a severe lack of tough fighters in the Democratic Party. Neither the minority leader in the Senate nor the House has publicly called for Mitch to account. Humiliating.
This should concern anyone who believes our courts should make decisions based on evidence instead of politics. Federal judges use technical reference manuals to better understand complicated subjects that come up in court, including engineering, medicine, cybersecurity, and climate science.
Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.
When asked by Sen. Coons if the DOJ is independent, Blanche FAILS TO ANSWER "yes".
Any word on getting any food safety protections back? Or do we just have to continually deal with food borne illnesses while these incompetent fools are in charge? Asking for Americans #fdt #ScienceMatters
Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it. If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.
Is the media just gonna sit out the whole Mitch McConnell f’n situation? Wtf 🤷🏼♂️🤬
