Hey #SusanCollins how was that lunch at the "Rose Garden Club"? Did you get to see him tearing down the People's House? As chair of Appropriations, how do you feel about "Darth Vader" slashing funding. Maine would like to know. October 21, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Hey, #SusanCollins - saw that picture of you breaking ground for the Y in Bangor. Nice. CURIOUS, how to you feel about Trump breaking the White House. FYI, I think it's HORRID!

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 1d

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

What drug is he on? "The rhetoric that you saw on Saturday" . . . Surely he means Trumps fighter jet video.

Q: Getting back to the Jeffries threat, this is one of a number of J6 pardons that's been rearrested. Did Trump make a mistake?

JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details. I'll tell you the violence on the left is far more prevalent than on the right. The rhetoric that you saw Saturday plays into it

The NY Times published an editorial citing Susan Collin as "a moderate Republican." Collins is a reliable vote for Trump's agenda, has voted against democracy at every turn and supported extremist judges.

This is why people are abandoning legacy media--even while enjoying games, puzzles & recipes.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Setting aside the fact that in 4 GOP majority states (NV, IA, MT, UT) Dems have 0 Reps despite voting 40% Dem, New England has a district Trump won by 9 and 2 toss-up districts, and Republicans lost all 3 because they ran terrible full MAGA candidates like Karoline Leavitt in NH.

It must really make everyone working at US Attorneys Offices around the country and DOJ, from prosecutors to staff, proud to know that you serve under an admin that has wiped out the convictions and/or sentences of every Republican convicted of a crime over the last decade.
