NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?

SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.

Sen. Mark Kelly slams Trump’s agreement with Iran in light of new reporting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have concerns about the deal: “It’s just the height of incompetence with this government.”

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

"It's hard to really wrap your head around the extent of how Hector Mountain Dew Camacho this is."

@Timodc goes off with JVL on how Trump has made our world into Idiocracy on Bulwark Takes.

This is the most ridiculous lie he has ever told, which is saying a lot.

Lickspittle moron. Not only are we giving them 300 billion for “reconstruction” of which no doubt some portion will go right into the pockets of the Trump, crime family, but we spent tens of billions if not more to accomplish this catastrophe, along with horrible bloodshed over our military.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

As always, your regular reminder that despite having every law enforcement agency of the federal government and billions of dollars worth of surveillance tools available to them, the Trump admin has managed to find a grand total of zero (0) "paid agitators."

GENERAL: “The $300,000,000,000 is real. Who cares where it comes from? The Iranians are still in charge. They’re gonna take that money and recover everything. You know that, Sean.”

Even Fox guests aren’t letting them pretend Trump’s deal is good. (Obama had a deal for far less)

As @TheRickWilson once said, the people who left conservativism to follow Trump hate the Never Trumpers because we constantly remind them of the pain of their souls trying to reenter their bodies

Veep level shit

Just sat down with this piece and…whew.

“Inside the White House, Mr. Miller, the influential deputy chief of staff, saw an opening for an idea he had raised previously: What if Mr. Trump simply claimed the power to suspend habeas corpus?

Then the locked-up immigrants would be blocked from receiving hearings or even from seeking court orders to prevent their removal from the country. This was an opportunity for Mr. Trump not only to speed up deportations, but also to assert vastly expanded power over a legal system that was getting in his way.”

He had to try and place rigged bets on UFC because I guess the crypto scams, the insider stock and prediction market trading, the "loans" from the government to his businesses, the stealing from a Children's Cancer charity and all the other stealing wasn't enough.

Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ... "

(So American taxpayers paid both to bomb Iran and then for Iran's reconstruction ... )

The FBI didn't raid a polling place. They raided the office of a group that registers voters. Then they sent special agents to the homes of people affiliated with the organization.

This is the same administration that raided a Georgia elections hub in February. The same one that launched voting fraud investigations in California after Trump made unfounded public suggestions of fraud. The same president who has repeated false claims about 2020 for five years and counting.

The DOJ's own response to NBC News: anything the target says is "unfounded speculation" because they haven't been shown the warrant affidavit. That's the government telling a civic organization - we searched your office, we showed up at your employees' homes, and you don't get to know why yet.

Voter fraud in the United States is rare. That's not a progressive talking point. That's the documented position of government officials and election experts across administrations.

What isn't rare is this administration opening federal investigations into voter registration groups, election infrastructure, and community organizers in the months before a midterm election where Republicans are already staring at a difficult map.

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative has been doing this work since 2007. One canvasser pleaded guilty to a fraud scheme in 2017. That's the predicate for FBI agents showing up at people's homes in 2026.

Call it what the board member called it. Mob boss energy.
