I took this photo at the JFK Library in Boston a week ago.
I needed to connect to a time of aspirations. Yes they were politicians; yes they were wealthy, yes they were ambitious; yet genuine caring about their fellow human beings and country shaped their public service.

Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

As a kid who grew up in scouting, it was never perfect but my troop did a lot of camping & I worked, growing up a lot, summers at a BSA camp. I still hike with a friend I made in scouts 50 years later.

The thing he should do to best honor and serve the people of his district is transfer every dollar of it to the #ME02 Democratic primary winner to beat Paul LePage and send him home to Florida.
If he does, I’ll shut up about him for the rest of his term.

The Admin should be focused on extending the ACA tax credits and negotiating a fair deal to end the war in Ukraine.
Instead we get the “Secretary of War” cutting ties with the Boy Scouts and threatening to court martial Senator Kelly.
Just more examples of how petty and dangerous these people are.
