Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

Lorenzo formed in a peculiar place for mid October. Not since Nicholas and Peter in 2003 have we seen a named storm form this far east in the deep tropics this late in the season. Also, models are starting to signal Caribbean mischief for next week. ⬇️

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

The war of domestic terrorism continues.

Nasty people. You wouldn’t believe. So unfair to me. So unfair. Frankly, a witch hunt. But these are just the nastiest people so we had to do it. A lot of people said we wouldn’t do it. A lot. But we did it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Today, Maine observes Indigenous Peoples' Day. We honor the lands and legacies of the Wabanaki Nations — Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Abenaki.

I look forward to passing legislation in the Senate to protect tribal sovereignty, which has been trampled for too long.

No one’s against ICE or immigration enforcement. They’re against ICE being comprised of fascist high school bullies who couldn’t cut it in the military and think that shooting pastors in the head with plastic bullets, for no reason, is acceptable.

They are SO scared of the mass display of opposition that they’ll see on Saturday that they’re claiming the protesters will all be paid.

Flop sweat, folks.

If they were a truly strong majority, they wouldn’t care.

They’re not.

Ah yes, the evil cabal of Antifa-billionaires and their grassroots-funded pawns are directing the largest peaceful protest in US history!

Has anyone gotten their George Soros check yet? We haven’t 😔 we keep having to buy frog costumes and make signs ourselves.

It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change. Both due to greenhouse warming (causing a warming Gulf ) and urban heating (more concrete/ asphalt).
