Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

NEW: Sen. Susan Collins became the 50th senator to support the voter suppressive SAVE America Act.

The Mainer's alignment with Trump’s agenda exposes her willingness to turn her back on democracy.

But this November, voters will get the chance to return the favor, Marc Elias writes.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

After a couple of hours of failed spin, the GOP has now acknowledged it lost and needs either a new lawsuit or to try to go to SCOTUS. I predicted this an hour ago.

I can safely say, the new "legal action" will fail and Virginia voters will decide.

We Don’t Talk About Leonard: The Man Behind the Right’s Supreme Court Supermajority The inside story of how Leonard Leo built a machine that remade the American legal system — and what he plans to do next.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.
