My bottom line on the Maine senate primary is that I think it is very helpful to have a serious contested primary with each candidate staying in the race pulling no punches on everything that Republicans would use in a general, and let MAINE
Dems decide their candidate next year.

Jack Smith, former Special Counsel, requested a public hearing before Congress to address mischaracterizations of his 2023 investigations. He aims to clarify facts and address these concerns. Basically Jack has nothing to hide. Let’s see if the Republicans let it be public. 🔄

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

Crimer-In-Chief Donald Trump wants to steal $230 million dollars from American taxpayers, claiming he’s owed money because of his investigations and prosecutions.

His claims are absurd & we should all sue him for the pain and suffering he’s put us through over the years.

🇺🇸 I don't want to overstate this, but any testimony from Jack Smith into Trump's attack on America would be a bombshell that would rock this country.
It is vital we know what led to Jan. 6, and Trump's part in it.
One way or the other, this MUST come out, and I salute Smith for coming forward.

He lied. He destroyed them.

It will be interesting how the judge in Tish James' case, Jamar Walker, deals with what is sure to be a DQ motion for Lindsey as well.
