These SCOTUS decisions today are so demoralizing. It’s pretty clear that all this squabbling about the For The People Act and the John Lewis Act are for naught, they’d just get gutted by SCOTUS anyway. I really don’t know where things go from here because it’s clear that SCOTUS reform won’t happen either.

This is good news considering it was estimated to only be about 700K….

Trump was averaging about 60K jobs per month for his last three months. Biden’s actions on the American Rescue Plan and vaccines are directly responsible for one of the great economic turnarounds in our history. PERIOD.

.“ The U.S. economy gained 850,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate rose to 5.9 percent from 5.8 percent, a sign that the recovery of the world’s largest economy is building momentum after downside misses in April and May.

Economists had expected gains of roughly 700,000 jobs and a drop of between 1 and 2 percent in the unemployment rate as Americans have increased activities like air travel, staying at hotels, eating in restaurants and visiting movie theaters. “

Does anyone know how close Biden came to his vaccination target? I think he said he wanted/expected 70% of the population fully vaccinated by the 4th of July or something?

70% of adults with at least one shot. 65% as of Monday. Estimated to be 67% on the 4th of July.

I wanted to respond to this…I totally agree…sucks to see, also what this might impact even more than a possible Voting Rights bill in the future is what this could mean for the DOJ’s lawsuit against the state of Georgia….reading the interpretation isnt good…..

“The ruling clarified the limits of the Voting Rights Act and how courts may analyze claims of voting discrimination.

The "mere fact there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote," Alito said.” 

article for those interested: really helped me understand and better grasp some of these SC decisions coming down this week on voting….

Will be interesting to see the polling for this in a couple months. I don't know much about Maine politics but I'll be keeping a close eye on this one!

 

^^ me thinking about maine politics….. We only have two districts, D1 southern maine where I live is very liberal which is why the state votes for democrat mostly on the national scale…D2 is northern maine and is very Trump loving (he got the ME-D2 electoral vote)

D1 representative Chellie Pingree is a democrat and D2 representative is also Democrat Jared Golden, he’s much more conservative given his district though, for example he was I think 1/2 house Dems to vote against the ARP.

Then you have Collins (shoot me ) and Angus King, who of course is a moderate independent who caucuses with the Dems…so really only D1’s Chellie Pingree tends to lean left

idk Sara Gideon was from RI and people from ME hate stuff like that “omgz an outsider coming into our state, how dare they”

This is what Washington insiders failed to consider 

 

….my Sara GIF got me triggered brb gonna go cry for a minute she visits my boyfriends local store all the time so we love Sara, she’s so sweet

edit: in direct response, yes unfortunately that is true, I think Schumer and the DNC were hoping the blowback by supporting Trump would be too much for Collins…I just don’t get it…the fact that she won drives me absolutely insane…i really hate that woman and 2026 can’t come soon enough so I can attempt to vote her a** out of office again

Awe that’s cool. She does seem like a lovely person.

I was shocked to see that she won by like 10 points  like holy crap Dems seem to have been incredibly mistaken by how much Maine likes Susan Collins. Let’s hope they don’t make the same mistake again.

Also so many f-ing old people love Collins and Maine is one of, if not THE, oldest population in the US…. My mom voted for Collins and she already regrets it in less than 6 months….

Younger people are leaning more and more liberal, Maine is starting to trend more liberal, in 2014 Collins won by 37% and in 2020 that fell to 8.6% and that was with a 3rd party taking like 5% of the vote…Maine is trending the right way it’s just so slow….Collins is the only statewide elected Republican left…and the only GOP Senator in New England.

I live in PA but I didn’t grow up here so honestly I know a lot more about the intuitive workings of upstate NY politics than I do about around here 😅
