Irene Nemirovsky in 1942:

Invade the U.S. using snow plows and Zambonis.

What are the odds that Trump has instructed Pam Bondi and the justice department to look into any legal means by which the Thanksgiving turkey he pardons is himself?

There’s no easy way out of the catch 22. Disenfranchisement made this problem - yet re-enfranchising the dirt poor, ignorant, and angry just gives them more resources to be angry with.

I went to rural elementary school there with four future J6 rioters, and I got out.

I can see both sides: so easy to see how the decades of screwing out corporate America gave rural America begat the backwoods Maga movement.

Amen.

As a life long Downeast Mainer and progressive, union democrat - what did you expect?

Moreover, you might want to reassess your opinions of Vermont.

This is why I am not a parent. ;)

Attach an air tag to them. As a fashion statement.

I try not to propagate the salacious rumor mill but to hear Trump say, “I did not have sexual relations with that man,” and have *that* be the lie that gets him impeached…

Oh dear lord.

Not the sandwich man, the Hero hero.

So would Caligula.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

So incredibly repugnant.

I am a Mainer and yes, we can hold ourselves to basic standards of decency.

If Platner does make it to D.C., he will be spread on toast and eaten for snack - much like Jared Golden, another democrat with military service, who was presented to us as a broad appeal panacea a couple elections ago.

Duck it, I’ll run.

I am from Downeast Maine, and I have clearer values and a cleaner record than this guy.

You are absolutely correct. Please see my above remark.

Downeast Mainer here. I went to school with Platner’s fishing partner’s wife. I am a Bernie democrat, and I will be voting for Janet Mills.

No difference between Graham’s Nazi tattoo and Hegseth’s Nazi tattoo.

No guy too stupid to know it when he got it is smart enough to legislate for us.

As a Bernie Democrat and 40 year old Downeast Mainer who went to elementary school with Graham’s fishing partner’s wife for eight years - I sincerely agree.

Populists are by definition chameleons with no set values except what the widest possible voting bloc can pretend and project onto them.

Relax. We in Maine are showing the rest of the country what a healthy primary with a diverse field of candidates looks like.

I went to elementary school with Graham Platner’s fishing partner’s future wife. Fair disclosure. And I am for Janet Mills.

Imprisoned with no cankle treatment, and his new bestie Big Beautiful Bill.

No, narcissistic boundary testing.

Appalling.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Gawd bless the National Lard.

Sox never should have let him go.

Anyone else in Mass want to know how much we have lost to the Feds, here’s the new tracker:

Perhaps she has better knowledge than the rest of us that the rule of law is about over. Or thinks she does. She sure acted like it.

I sold the first eBike of my career to an 82 year old farmer, who needed it to haul tools and produce.

No shade at all on anyone who rides one.

CBD helps. Trying to be around new people when we are all at our least personally presentable, personal neediest, and least able to help others when they most need it takes a lot of effort these days.
