HEY @kenmartin.bsky.social, I THOUGHT THE DNC DIDN'T MAKE ENDORSEMENTS IN SENATE PRIMARIES?

Mills is still on the ranked choice ballot. Vote for her!!

Where is Marco Rubio? During his first 15 months in office, Rubio has spent 71 days traveling — fewer than any other secretary of state this century over the same period. And he's nowhere to be found on Iran.

🚨BREAKING: With Republican senators having all but abandoned the anti-voting SAVE America Act, President Donald Trump is appealing directly to his Truth Social followers in perhaps his most extreme terms yet, in hopes of keeping it alive www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As Governor, I delivered over $200 million in economic relief to thousands of Maine small businesses, including Three of Strong Spirits here in Portland. As Senator, I'll continue to have the backs of our small businesses and fight for the support they need.

David Morse has accomplished so much during his time as Mayor of Westbrook, and has been an incredible advocate for his community. I couldn’t be more grateful for his support in this race, and I look forward to continuing our work together as Senator.

My Administration made the largest investment in building affordable and accessible housing in Maine history, but there's more work to be done. Owning a home is part of the American dream — as Senator, I'll work to make that dream a reality for all Maine people.

The aggressive and provocative tactics used by ICE here in Maine and across the country shouldn't be rewarded. We need accountability and reforms to keep our communities safe, but Susan Collins would rather toe the party line than do the right thing. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/04/23/p...

In every living room, auditorium, or gymnasium I visit across our state, the message is clear — Maine people want a proven fighter for them in Washington, and are ready for Susan Collins to go. I've got what it takes to win this election and help take back the Senate.

It turns out they do know how to make a plane turn around and bring people back when they want to.

NYT www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/u... One hand: Trump says he is not huge fan of prediction markets Other hand: his son is on payroll of all the big prediction markets which suddenly find themselves unregulated despite escalating terrifying scandals Simply impossible to draw any conclusions!

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

Liberals have built large majorities on the supreme courts of the three “Blue Wall” swing states that play an outsized role in presidential elections: 5-2 in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and 6-1 in Michigan.

No supreme court judge has ever lost a retention election in Florida history. This fall, Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz, who voted to uphold the state’s six-week abortion ban and allow the GOP’s gerrymander, is up for retention.

Janet Mills also supports universal healthcare…and unlike Platner, she’s actually expanded healthcare to people including ~100,000 Mainers.

The DC Circuit just ruled that Trump’s declaration of an “invasion” at the U.S.-Mexico border on his 1st day in office in 2025 was illegal, clearing the way to reopen the United States to migrants seeking asylum, although appeal is likely. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

@raskin.house.gov @durbin.senate.gov Have your committees inquired why the FBI wasn't able to use an ADL tip to prevent the Evergreen shooting? emptywheel.net/2026/04/24/k...

Even most Trump appointed judges believe in the rule of law.

This is horrifying. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

At his briefing on the war with Iran, Pete Hegseth denounced a country that kills innocent protesters.

They are simply continuing their longtime support of authoritarianism. presswatchers.org/2024/05/new-...

I am begging someone, anyone, to answer Steve's question: Where did Baude get the idea that the government only faces "irreparable injury" when a lower court blocks its action, and not when the Supreme Court blocks it? Was this idea pulled out of thin air to defend Roberts' memos? It's mystifying.

What this makes me think about: upon restoration of democracy in US, "permanently wiping from the books and be of no further force or effect" all appointments and orders of Trump. Rather than going through them one-by-one, it would be much easier to default to all void, and add back as necessary.

Narrator: "they voted yes."

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Markey: "They were planning an actual genocide -- a destruction of a civilization. That's why Trump should be impeached, that's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump, that's why the 25th Amendment to remove me should be invoked."

I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...

Opinion | As a principled online leftist, I am outraged by Trump and Netanyahu's campaign of violence in the Middle East. I demand that Kamala Harris hold a book signing so I can publicly protest this atrocity.

And one funny little backward county.... we are winning, friends, we are doing this. Keep going!!

And not just Wisconsin. State Courts have upheld the Constitution and the rule of law even as SCOTUS attacks them. This is a great win for all of us.

And why we have to fight back on grounds of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Hammer it home, everywhere, every day. We will not give up 60 years of progress, in fact we will carry it forward and build on it. No negotiation, no surrender to hate.

SCOTUS Flies By Night What one 'Shadow Docket' case reveals about SCOTUS' deceit. open.substack.com/pub/hjs24pea...

King George III had less power over US, was way less corrupt, and was more sane.

The emperor isn't merely naked; he has been operating a MAGA Murder Regime since at least beginning this term, for which he orchestrated a deadly attempted coup. And, at every turn, "the institutions" have been not merely compliant but rather complicit.

Today, Virginia is the only U.S. state where someone convicted of any felony loses their right to vote for life, unless it is personally restored by the governor. Lawmakers this year advanced a constitutional amendment to repeal that rule.

It is past time. Is there one less demented person in his cabinet though?

It's been 75 minutes since Trump's unhinged post mocking Islam and saying "Open the Fuckin' Strait," and there's still nothing about it on the New York Times website. They're waking up their Euphemism Desk, I suspect.

Sounds like she'd fit right in.

In fact the legacy media used the 'demented old man' trope to oust a successful and kind President from his re-election campaign in order to empower the current, actually demented, deceitful, and cruel President and help him into office. Again, out of cowardice.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

This. We’re living through an awful backlash-because of our progress. Trump and his hateful, incompetent toadies are a big bright billboard for the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We can use that.

NEW: A group of voting rights organizations has filed the fifth lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order seeking to control mail-in voting procedures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Received the statement by WHO Director-General on Sudan conflict and humanitarian crisis, with request to share it with the readers

It occurs to me that even if Trump were to literally nuke Tehran, massacring over 10 million people in one horrific shot, much of the U.S. media would still mostly just treat it like just the latest wacky move by our nutty commander in chief.

Iran has elections, but to its great shame, it has an unaccountable council of ayatollahs that overrules the elected representatives. Here’s why we’re nullifying the Voting Rights Act. by John Roberts
