No "peer review" in the US, either; Congress has abdicated that role.

Never said otherwise.

Congress has also repeatedly allowed it to happen.

Maybe so, but doing it following the 2026 primaries might guarantee the election actually happens *and* a strike has an impact on candidates.

Every statement is an admission.

We are in no way obligated to "root for success in military actions".
We are in no way obligated to accept that military actions are needed/necessary/wise.

The more the rest of us know about these brands, the less economic growth those companies will experience.

Some specifics as to how to "stop the slide" would have been helpful.

The MAGA crowd will - without reading - immediately claim this is a lie.

Don't even have to be (or appear to be) an immigrant.

Darn that JCPOA. Oh, wait ...

Unless Congress is willing to impeach/convict/remove, his approval ratings are irrelevant.
In 2026? Maybe. If we get there.

A more accurate headline: "Felon47 uses authority illegally to promote himself as dictator".
I'm sure others here can come up with something better.

Even though I'm not a Jackson fan, I agree.

We also have Shenna Bellows and Troy Jackson running. Too many big names, IMO. #MEpolitics

Take a look at the report: www.aecf.org/resources/20...

As we have seen over the past few months, Felon47 will do what he wants and let the states/courts figure out if he has the authority. Whether or not he pays attention to *them* is still an open question.

That’s what I said.
The MSM is celebrating the feud, not reporting on its impact.

Let’s not promote this middle school drama except as it affects real people, please.

A lot of those "earmarks" were part of Biden's post-Covid infrastructure projects; they are not Collins' alone. Her reputation is overblown. #MEpolitics

The Maine Morning Star article specifically mentions $1B in earmarks, specifically, during the past 3 years. I don't have the information to evaluate that claim. #MEpolitics

Despite the Goal below, historically, MaineEA is not willing to make a scene about much of anything. #MEpolitics

Immediately-published summaries are a good idea; it would be great if someone from every town did them.
It's absurd to have to wait weeks or months for a municipality to post "official" Minutes when they could just put out drafts. #MEpolitics

The numbers Chavez-DeRemer was quoting and what are in the DoL public statements are from the year following COVID. Just saying. #JobCorps #MEpolitics

What will you do about this administration eliminating #JobCorps, which has 3 centers in your district? The local economic impact, particularly in Limestone, will be devastating. The educational impact for the students there - some of whom are from your district - will be equally awful. #MEpolitics
comment in response to

DoL decided to pre-empt the budget process. I'll be interested to see if the corporation that runs JobCorps sues for breach of contract. #MEpolitics

Shutting down JobCorps - already funded, too - ahead of FY26 budget consideration.

We thought we had all that before January 20, 2025.

Or maybe - just thinking out loud here - we should make those jobs less stressful.

Other than self-aggrandizement, what’s the message?
comment in response to

And yet the proposed budget eliminates JobCorps, a program that trains young people for exactly those kinds of jobs.

The FY2026 budget proposes closing Job Corps, TRIO, and more.
