For millions of parents, child care costs more than rent.

Moms are quitting jobs they love because they can't even FIND child care.

And Republicans' response tonight? A blank check for ICE.

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

Trump Admin’s continuing assault on unions, unionized workers, and collective bargaining (e.g., Portsmouth Naval Shipyard) is an attack on all working people and must end. Working people are the backbone of the US economy and deserve a fair share of the wealth they help create!

I would put Justice Roberts in that same category.

My bad, she does have good positions and I really like her work with labor rights. Who knows, maybe those write-ins will happen. Definitely a better choice than Platner. I still would support Costello, but can't vote there anyway, so there we go.

Trump floats taxpayer bailout for Middle Eastern autocracy On Tuesday, President Trump said he is considering a financial bailout for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), an autocratic state experiencing an economic downturn due to the war in Iran.

Trump wants US taxpayers to bail out UAE, a middle-eastern petro-autocracy, because he & his family have a lot of private deals going on in UAE & they need to make their money back.

The Dem party is also to blame for following their usual playbook backing the oldest and most moderate candidate.

Platner's people have done an amazing job at convincing way too many people that there are only two candidates in the primary.

And they know most people won't bother to look it up for themselves, they'll hear it's Platner or Mills and just accept that as fact.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act For too long, this law has allowed the government to evade privacy protections and spy on Americans. Reform is overdue.

Congress is about to vote on renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Originally meant to monitor foreigners overseas, it’s been abused to surveil Americans. This is a chance to finally protect Americans’ privacy. bit.ly/4tASUmW

Maine Democrats: Don’t forget David Costello in Senate primary | Steve Collins As the battle between Janet Mills and Graham Platner grows ever more bitter, the third candidate in the race can strike a different note.

Why are so many backing problematic Platner?

"While Gov. Janet Mills and the former harbor master of a little seaside town, Graham Platner, hog the spotlight, David Costello of Brunswick is akin to a designated driver sipping a Diet Coke in the corner."
