Dammit. Janet Mills is, after all, going to run for Collins’ seat. This means the Dem machine is going to keel-haul Graham Platner, lose to Collins, give up governor to the GOP, and they’ll learn nothing from it.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This is absolutely mind-blowing corruption.

Somebody in the NH House should introduce articles of impeachment.

The opposition info thats going out is HIGHLY misleading and the math is wrong.

We did a webinar tonight ("we" being the people who actually wrote the amendments, and a member of the rules committee) explaining the changes and reasons for it all along with the impact. VOD is uploading now.

Great, but when the shutdown is resolved, stop voting for Republican legislation. Could ya do that for us? Be a Democrat?

Tim Smith (Insert any of my various titles here.) @tjsnh.bsky.social · 2d

You're declaring this nonsense as an in-kind donation to the Republican party, right?

Great - but once the shutdown is over, please STOP voting for Republican legislation. Some of the stuff you've voted for has been seriously awful, and absolutely ZERO Republicans are going to carefully examine your voting record looking for bipartisanship and then decide to support you.

Stop voting for Republican legislation.
That needs to be step one.

I can't even read the news anymore.

Every hour is a fresh new constitutional crisis that in any other circumstance would lead to mass resignations in the administration, from POTUS on down.

But in 2025? Just another day.

I don't know how we save the Republic.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

If you live in California, now’s your chance to fight back against Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. Vote YES on Proposition 50.

Early voting starts today. Let’s make sure Republicans know that we won’t let them rig our elections.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.
