If Republicans pass this disastrous bill: 🚨 50,000 Mainers will get kicked off their health care. 🚨 Children in our state will go hungry. 🚨 The rich will get richer. 🚨 The poor will get poorer. 🚨 The deficit will grow by $4 trillion. No wonder they met in the middle of the night to finalize it.

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur. Like, I know all birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur. (📷: Suzie McCann, eBird)

“It’s good to feel a victory like this. I stood in the White House and when confronted by the president of the United States, I told him I’d see him in court. Well, we did see him in court, and we won.”

If a preacher knows that legislators are developing policy that will create injustice, it is our duty to “go down to the palace of the King.” … it is our duty to relocate our ministry to where these life and death decisions are being made.

Maybe it’s foolish of me, but even if the Republicans do cause our economy, our environment, our standing in the world and the rule of law to go completely in the shitter, I still believe we can come back. That we will live up to the promise that is America. johnschaberg.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

My best guess is the “fire Powell” Rhetoric is not really about actually firing Powell, though I’m sure he would love to do it. I think it’s more about turning Powell into the new Fauci and the Fed into the CDC. He needs a scapegoat so his followers never blame him for the failures ahead.

He was compassionate and humble. He cared deeply about immigrants, families suffering in war zones, the poor, those of other faiths and the LGBTQ+ community. He did not condemn or judge but urged us to love and care for each other. He was the best Pope of my life time. Thank you Pope Francis .

We paid to have these men housed in a Salvadoran prison. So if Bukele USES them like chattel, we actually SOLD them to the president of El Salvador. Just sayin’. The South rises again.

Sorry but there's something tone deaf and blinkered about beseeching Susan Collins to show courage on [name your pet issue] in the year 2025. She won't even stand up for her own state, facing an illegal persecution campaign by her own party's leader. And you want to talk about Ukraine? #MEpolitics

We all thought the president was patterning himself on Victor Orban. When he was actually patterning himself on Rodrigo Duterte. Don't leave the country Mr. President.

Big shout out to @chelliepingree.bsky.social for holding an in person town hall in Westbrook. Capacity crowd and some really good energy. One passionate person who wanted Chellie to call the president a Nazi. Nazi is a loaded term. Call them Fascists - that's what they are...
