Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Pa.'s 2 senators, including alleged Dem Fetterman, picked the wrong week to tell Americans not to talk about fascism, Hitler The shredding of the 1st Amendment that led to gov't coercion to silence Jimmy Kimmel is fast becoming our own Reichstag fire My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

Susan Collins vote for RFK Jr was indefensible and disqualifying. She knows, we know it, everybody knows it. It can't be defended so instead she goes for a pathetic and inane attempt to change the subject. #MEpolitics

so the president who is intentionally tanking the economy, ordering the military invasion of american cities and indiscriminately sending innocent people to foreign slave labor camps is also in the child rape brag book of the worlds most notorious pedophile? is all that correct?

I’m sorry this guy sucks

Collins advances an evil regime with every action, but then show votes against it when passage is safe . @pressherald.com always gives cover. Maine has the most embarrassing federal delegation thanks to the PPH failure to hold anyone to account. What is the purpose of the PPH?

I wish @pressherald.com for *once* called Senator Collins on her role advancing patently malicious actors through Committee and then ultimately show voting against their manifest unfitness for the role. She owns Kennedy and Bove and all of the Republican evil. A free press would hold her to account.

Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five… Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it. Share it with family and friends. #VoteNo

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

How did Whitmer end up in an Oval Office ceremony with Trump, Newsom hosting a MAGA-fluffing podcast, various frontline Dems hedging their trade war critiques, and House Dems preparing not to run on Trump corruption again? I have a grand unified theory. www.offmessage.net/p/how-politi...

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

This was….five months ago

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

There are only two plausible reasons for Susan Collins *not* to supoena Musk and haul him before her committee to answer questions under oath: --She doesn't actually mind his corrupt pillaging of the govt --She's too scared/complicit/etc to do her job Neither of these reasons are OK! #MEpolitics

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

3 of 4 Maine federal reps voted to harm Mainers. I blame @pressherald.bsky.social. Collins has been harmful for decades and a credulous PPH was stenographer. King and @golden.house.gov believe that they are similarly unaccountable. Read your letters to the editor - we're mad.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

“The man occupying our White House has made a life of corruption and criminality by exploiting norms of courtesy.” And for those who believe it’s their higher duty to follow norms of civility in this urgent moment? It’s the pathway to America’s demise. www.americaamerica.news/p/when-civil...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I talk a lot of shit about Democrats not stepping up, so I'd be a prick if I didn't recognize and appreciate Maine's Governor Mills making the second in command look like a sniveling jabroni today.

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

What value is head of Appropriations Committee when you cede your power to a tyrant? Collins knows Trump/Elon are bad. The only "courageous" stance she has taken was on Trump's impeachment. Now she just advances his agenda with "concerns". I hate the deserved derision Maine gets for her uselessness.

It's also going to be embarrassing - but not unexpected - if Maine media, including @pressherald.bsky.social and @bangordailynews.bsky.social don't follow up and press her on this

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.

instead of taking concrete measures to improve my situation I have elected to sit in a chair and look at phone

The "We didn't start the fire" song for 2024 will be seven hours long and will be an increasingly atonal dirge.

"This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them."

This happened to me. I grew up in the city and found myself at a county fair in Ohio with pony rides. I didn't know better and the teenager running the show was not kind. :(
