Susan Collins' fall in Morning Consult polling in the age of Trump is just stunning.
In the fall of 2015, Susan Collins scored a 78% approval rating, and just 16% disapproval.

She was the most popular Republican in the Senate in her home state, despite representing blue Maine.
Latest polling by Morning Consult has Susan Collins as the most unpopular senator in America, with 52% disapproval, beating out McConnell's 50%.

(Her approval at 42% is higher than a bunch of other senators but still down 36 points from 2015).

Delaying the GOP/Trump lawsuit seeking to overturn the entire ACA until after the election could increase the chances the law is overturned 1/
There are 5 SCOTUS justices who have voted to uphold ACA. If any of those 5 leaves the court before the case is decided & Trump nominates replacement... 2/
Susan Collins remember was convinced Kavanaugh wouldn’t overturn ACA. Lamar Alexander among Rs who have torched the legal logic of the case.

But who really knows?

The Senate voted 50-40 to prohibit an unauthorized military attack on Iran or its armed forces, with exceptions, in June. (The amendment failed because it needed 60 votes under the rules).

Below is the text of the amendment and the roll call:
No Democrat voted against the Udall amendment; Paul, Lee, Moran and Collins voted for it. Coons and 9 Rs didn't vote.

1 A photographic look at Pence @VP visit to 2 TX detention centers w 7 #GOP senators. A thread about photo access and visual framing in an age of hate and hysteria. The entourage facing US handiwork without game faces. (screenshot: @Reuters)
2 Let's be mindful of goal: to counteract shocking pix from last 2 urgent @DHSOIG (random) inspection visual reports, the @HispanicCaucus pix from Clint, & #BorderPatrol FB scandal. Paradoxically, aim is to show previous scenes inaccurate, yet still "tough stuff" (& blame Dems).
3 One of goals of @VP trip was to insulate/defend #BorderPatrol from reports about its almost 10k member private racially/sexually toxic FB group. Did address this in context of border visit day before in San Diego in response to q's. Via @joshdawsey @washingtonpost pool report.

NEW THREAD:

With yesterday's swearing in of the new Congress, this major update concerning the GOP lawmakers now tied to Russia and/or what Mueller and the DOJ have been investigating is needed.

of note, an "x" by a lawmaker's name means he's a former lawmaker.
1. KY Sen. Mitch McConnell ($3.5M from Vekselberg and Blavatnik, ties to Cambridge Analytica)
2. FL Sen. Marco Rubio ($1.5M from Vekselberg and Blavatnik)
3. x-WI Gov. Scott Walker ($1.1M from Vekselberg and Blavatnik, ties to Cambridge Analytica and Maria Butina)
4. Sen. Lindsey Graham ($800K from Vekselberg and Blavatnik)
5. x-OH Gov. John Kasich ($250K from Vekselberg and Blavatnik)
6. Sen. John McCain (deceased) ($200K from Vekselberg and Blavatnik)

1. When the actions of our government spark mass protest it is a sign that the democratic process is unwell - that the government is operating well-outside the mainstream. Historically, the reasons differ.
2. Usually, it is because the government is resisting change that is wanted by the majority of the country - as with the Suffrage and Civil Rights movements. It can also be due to a disagreement of the majority with policy - as with the Vietnam War.
3. The mass protests witnessed since 2016 are a bit different. We have seen a majority party not just resisting progress, but wishing to dial it back - fully aware it is against the wishes of the majority of the population.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
