Pretty accurate
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Williston Vermont, take note.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

1/2 62 years ago today was a Friday. We were in the schoolyard at St. Leo Elementary on lunch recess. Suddenly the nuns lined us up and we went into the main church. The monsignor told us that President John Kennedy had been shot and was in surgery and we were to pray.

No plan, but she's "very concerned."
Susan Collins has no plan to fix healthcare. She’s letting the system fall apart—facilities closing, Mainers left behind. Enough.
I’m running to lower costs, protect care, and make quality healthcare a reality for everyone through Medicare for All.
