So the woman who FELL down her stairs days before her NDA expired, and was then cremated, needed 8 men to carry her ashes in a casket ? I say exhume casket and see whats stored there

Why does Portland Press Herald identify the writer of this Susan Collins-glazing letter as "Jim Libby" and not "State Sen. Jim Libby (R-Cumberland)"? Lazy? In the tank? Take your pick. And yes, Collins maxed out to his last two campaigns. 73 year-old going around buying loyalty. Sad! #MEpolitics

The man who literally posted a pic of himself as Jesus healing a man, is watching a country struggle with Ebola and not helping. WWJD? Everything Trump won’t do.

I met Troy in 2018 when running a field office in Madawaska for a congressman (who later disappointed and betrayed us all). He’s a pretty interesting and down to earth guy. And he’s going to win.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

This is jaw dropping. The DNC does not want change. Throwing bones to the masses while holding your hand out to billionaire donors is collapsing this country. Stop it. youtu.be/h8IwrO-03WU?...

This Guardian story from 2020 asked: "Why would a man in his 40s, whose main business was real-estate development, want to host a beauty contest for teenage girls?" I think we know the answer. Release all the Epstein files. End the Trump cover-up.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

In the last 70 years, federal jobs fell from 4.5% of all employment to below 2%. Civil servants aren't what's driving government debt, and firing them won't address it.

I want a president who cares more about Chicago and Portland than about Qatar and Argentina. Trump’s “America First” slogan is a sick joke.

Trump gets booed at the US Open today.

🚨Action Required🚨 If you are attending the U.S. Open tomorrow, please record and share what we won't be able to see. The administration is attempting to hide the truth, but with phones in everyone's hands, that's a tough task. We are all journalists now. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.

The EPA, VA, USCIS + FEMA terminated contracts covering most of their workers. Other agencies are likely to follow suit Labor historian @erikloomis.bsky.social said he'd “be surprised if there were any unionized federal workers besides law enforcement by 2028” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-f...

As Su alludes to, this is not “deportation”, as that requires a lawful, humane process of returning someone to their country of origin. This is abduction and human trafficking, largely to avoid domestic and international prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. This is barbarism.
