Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

This is how bribes work.

The questions remain. Why did White House border czar Tom Homan accept a bag with $50,000 cash? Who was it from? What was promised in exchange? Why did the DOJ close the investigation? How does bribery and corruption make America great? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Pressed on Tom Homan controversy, JD Vance and Pam Bondi struggle to answer

The attorney general and the vice president confronted straightforward questions about the scandal surrounding the border czar. Both Republicans struggled.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump told Republicans NOT to negotiate with Democrats. Democrats said they'll meet anytime, anyplace, anywhere. The Convicted Felon does not care about you, me, or anyone who isn't a rich donor.

Kid Rock
“I owe everybody money
I think racist jokes are funny
I'm a lowlife
I got a dirty mind, a gutter mouth
I'm makin' time, I'm goin' out
With your wife
I got kids I've never seen
And their momma's 17
I'm a lowlife
I take strippers out to breakfast
You can add that to my checklist
I'm a lowlife

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?
