It's another example of why the Democratic establishment has such low credibility...

There are lots of other things Mills can do to fight back against Republicans rather than be a freshman Senator.

Speak on in the media, organize resistance efforts. raise money for grassroots efforts...

The fact that all she can think of is run for office shows the problem.

Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

🧑‍🌾 FARMER: “BAILOUTS DON’T WORK. Trump is destroying our markets.”

As @rustygrills & @tnhousegop beg Trump to bailout farmers, farmers are begging the tariffs to stop so they can get back to work. Why won’t Republicans stand up to him? @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @GovBillLee

The unbridled ego to think that NO ONE else in Maine can be an effective Senator is astonishing.

Thank you for your service. It's time to move on and make way for new leaders.

He looks like an evil Jimmy Carter.

The cynical pessimist in me expects Bibi to find some excuse to begin the bombing again, or at least to ramp up the attacks in the West Bank.

Maybe he'll claim that the Hamas representative signed using a pen with blue ink instead of black.

My entire career has been dedicated to protecting Pennsylvanians’ fundamental freedoms – and I won’t stop now.

Anyone who tries to undermine them will have to go through me – whether that’s a predatory corporation or the President of the United States.

Perhaps they should use this as training material for ICE and CPB personnel.

It's a hopeful sign, and I'm grateful for his words.

But will he continue to speak out after the MAGA death threats that will be coming for him?

Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism.
