A Republican-aligned political group has spent millions of dollars on ads promoting Susan Collins, but a closer look at these ads shows they rely on misleading — and in some cases impossible — claims about her record on health care.

Way more Dems than Golden want to continue this war. But they know it's politically toxic to vote for this war.

So Dem leadership gets Golden to be the one vote to make sure this fails. He's not running for re-election, so he has nothing to lose. That's how this works.

@charmainevee This was maybe my favorite bit from the episode! Cracked me up, and so cool to see Fern leaning in to their own way of being.

Gov. Janet Mills is losing support inside her own party, Ethan Strimling writes. Democrats’ approval of her has fallen over 20 points since June, as folks are unhappy with ICE raids in Maine and her resistance to tougher gun laws after Lewiston.https://t.co/4sKAw1enjk

@anamanaguchi If I still was in Kansas I'd be there in a heartbeat - I was at the show you played there with Chrome Sparks years and years ago, and it was one of the best shows of my life!

Sen. Susan Collins says Congress may only revisit Trump’s $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid if there's "evidence" of Americans getting sicker — even as 61,000 Mainers face losing coverage and rural hospitals risk closure. Read more below.https://t.co/OEsrgsUzmk

@alecrobbins deeply sorry for you but which sephiroth tho

I can only react to this image as I am: a Jew. To make Jewish words and phrases interchangeable with ICE detention is to make Judaism the face of fascism. This has happened in Israel and will happen here if we allow it

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
