Yeah if Angus King is going to parade his nepobaby candidate son around the Capitol then it's a legitimate question to *both* men why the older guy is doing such a poor job of standing up to creeping authoritarianism. #MEpolitics

Hi @anguskingiii.bsky.social, since you're with him, can you convince your father/top supporter to stop voting with Trump and Republicans? He keeps doing it and he knows better - or should

The monster is really coming for us all. General Letitia James has been indicted following Trump’s pressure campaign. She’s accused of committing “mortgage fraud.” The MAGA movement is weaponizing the Justice Department.

As usual, the media betrays the country.
Their silence is deafening as Democracy dies.

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients.

His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board.

Always follow the money.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
