Booker: "What this president is doing is violating our constitutional principles, violating the fundamental rights of people in order to punish them to carry out his own retribution plan ... Donald Trump is saying, 'ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for Donald Trump.'"

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Susan Collins helps confirm Oz. Look forward to media giving this as much coverage as one of her stern letters. When Oz makes it harder for folks to e.g. access health care and Collins voices concern, will Maine reporters act like goldfish and ignore that she caused what she "opposes"? #MEpolitics

Hey @lmccauley.bsky.social I can't find the part of the story where you talk about how Susan Collins and Angus King voted on RFK Jr's confirmation and what was known at that time about his qualifications and plans for the agency. #MEpolitics

Wouldn't know it from Maine media -- since Susan Collins didn't send them a press release -- but their queen just voted to advance a budget with $6.1 trillion in red ink tax cuts for the rich on the backs of working folks. Even if she votes 'no' in the end, she's helping make it happen. #MEpolitics

Today, every Senate Republican but one voted to confirm Harmeet Dhillon to run DOJ's Civil Rights Division, putting one of Trump’s own attorneys + someone with a long record of attacking voting rights in charge of protecting those rights for millions of Americans. www.huffpost.com/entry/harmee...

So the government is canceling programs that actually connect farmers' products (food) with consumers (e.g. school lunches, USAID) and spending more than that to replace lost revenue from punitive tariffs that hurt them. Another brilliant move by Trump 2.0

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
