I reject his premise. The reverse is true- “We can’t fight wars because our people need food shelter and healthcare!”

The Lesson Every Democrat Should Learn From Peter Magyar's Victory In Hungary The cost of living crisis needs a villain.

Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

tRump's ICE is ramping up mass surveillance & raids, even snaring U.S. citizens while firing whistleblowers who dare question shady data deals with Thomson Reuters. This cruel overreach isn't "enforcement"—it's authoritarian chaos. We won't stand for it.

“Helpless sheep” in The US Senate bear much responsibility for our current political moment.

An infinitely sensible approach.

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

Part of the new world order.

Understood

Well, your generalizations aside, this Mainer has legitimate questions. The GOP attack dogs haven’t even started yet. I’ll feel better either way after the primary.

“Will win handily” is not something I currently have faith in.

Reminder: It is Republicans who have chosen to keep FEMA, the Coast Guard, TSA, and all other DHS agencies shut down.

It is Republicans’ own divisions and inability to govern that has led to the longest shutdown of an agency in American history.

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Cartoonists Demand Action YouTube video by maigcoalition

A video I helped produce in 2013. Will it ever not be relevant?

And yet in Maine, having somebody like Platner to run against Collins raises legitimate questions about fitness, track record, and broad electability.

We are all right here.

The World is Rejecting Trump's Unwinnable Iran War & Israel's Unforgivable Genocide

Trump has no exit strategy from his failed Iran War, so he's doubling down on chaos, belligerent threats, & violence as Israel continues its genocidal rampage across the Mid East.

Screenshot of a tweet by Senate Judiciary Democrats showing Sen. Blumenthal pressing Trump nominee Justin D. Smith on who won the 2020 election and popular vote, with Smith deflecting by saying only "the person who became president." Blumenthal concludes: "This makes you look ridiculous, if not pathetic." The embedded video shows Smith looking down at a witness table with a nameplate reading "Mr. Justin D. Smith."

If they can't speak truths under oath at their confirmation hearings, how can they be trusted to administer them in court?

Big shoutout to Kelty this week. They’re donating 5% of every purchase to the Conservation Alliance in support of saving the US Forest Service. Kelty is one of the four companies that actually founded the Conservation Alliance back in 1989, alongside Patagonia, REI, and The North Face.

Trump gave a bizarre speech at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree YouTube video by Business Insider

July 2017. Trump gives a wildly inappropriate and incoherent speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree. Somehow we as a nation decided to give nuclear weapons to a guy you wouldn’t even trust to feed your cat when you go out of town for the weekend.

“No Kings!” is as old as our nation.

Ugh
Fix is in

Successful negotiations require clear goals and good faith actors. The US has neither.

Trump DOJ loses again, now 0 for 5 on voter roll cases, as court rejects Rhode Island lawsuit U.S. District Judge Mary S. McElroy, a Trump appointee, called the DOJ’s widespread voter roll demands a “fishing expedition.”

A win! The Trump DOJ is now 0 for 5 on voter roll cases. A federal court just rejected their lawsuit against Rhode Island, the latest in a string of losses as they try to force states to purge voter rolls.

Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

The last time Trump donated to charity was… Never!

Ugh

Settle? Fight it!!!

Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech at a TPUSA event.

He started by lying about a supposed deal with Iran, claiming, “We have now secured the Strait of Hormuz. It is ours.” He also said the U.S. and Iran would be excavating nuclear sites together to collect “nuclear dust.” None of it is true.

Up is down, yes is no, losing is winning.
