Trump and his minions seem to think the job of the media is to help them promote their lies, no matter how blatant. Too many seem willing to accept that role.

You can tell that it's really dry in Southern Maine when a big buck shows up in the marsh behind us. We only see them when there's a real drought or there's been a really cold snap and the water freezes.

He's counting on the almost infinite stupidity of his supporters to believe it.

It's a Republican thing. That's why Trump went with pads.

To be fair, he also got a white elephant plane that taxpayers will pay about a billion to retrofit, then he'll take it away as a lovely parting gift (in the event he actually leaves).

Trump says military will get paid despite shutdown. Afraid of a coup?

Dear God, they're putting Lindsey Graham and J.D. Vance on Meet the Press tomorrow. Is it a federal law that Graham has to be put on one of the shows virtually every Sunday?

I'm pretty sure that's the GOP position.

So, are all of these National Guard troops being deployed not getting paid because of the shutdown?

W.M. @minuteman04.bsky.social · 1d

The Administration has slashed money for food banks and meals programs, and now the Trump/Epstein shutdown is just dramatically increasing the need. Military families among the hardest hit.

At this point "MAGA patriot" is a total contradiction in terms.

Is there any proof that Barron Trump was in class at the time?

Want to know what show's Trump and his stooges don't give a rat's ass about average Americans? Letting go a boatload of top-level scientists at the CDC and gutting medical research funding. But I'm sure RFK Jr has a "raw milk cures everything" solution.

All valid points on Mills.

I've been very happy with Governor Mills. That said, unless you can convince me she's the only one with a chance to beat Collins I think it's time for Maine Democrats to infuse some new blood.

Have you picked a candidate in the Governor's race?

Golden/LePage is the ultimate "hold your nose and vote". As bad as Jared is, I'd never vote LePage and risk giving Mike Johnson another vote.

If you look at Trump and listen to him, I find the medical report that he's in "exceptional health" as credible as Dr Ronny "Drug Dispenser" Jackson's claim that Trump weighed 238 pounds and is "the healthiest President in history".

Long past the time when Kid Rock should have changed his name Mature Soft Country.

Reports that #Maine Governor Janet Mills will seek the Democratic nomination to run against Susan Collins. I'm a Gov Mills fan, but it's time for an infusion of new blood.

"Stabilizing Argentina is America First". But apparently feeding hungry American kids or housing homeless vets isn't.

Remember the "All lives matter" crowd? Turns out all lives only matter if you are in their cult!

He'll probably hire low-cost White South African "refugees" to replace them.

The answer to Speaker Johnson is 10 million+ American patriots in the streets for the 10/18 No Kings rallies across the US.

I hear El Salvador or South Sudan are lovely.
