Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned”
She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired.
The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.
That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.
This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

Anyone who accepts a Kennedy Center award at this point is a quisling to be shunned. No one with any self-respect would even attend this ceremony. I would hope that whatever TV network broadcasts these awards would get the lowest ratings imaginable.

CW: Sexual assault
In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.
This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

The Democratic Party's approval ratings are terrible, a young Democratic politician solidly wins a primary in the country's biggest city by generating enthusiasm and high turnout, and Democratic leaders think the move is to publicly distance themselves, even denounce him, do I have that right?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
