Dunking on Collins, on c-span, "her record sucks". When Collins was a lot younger, she thought 12 years of service was long enough for anyone, and she said she would decline to run for re-election and let someone else serve. #mepolitics

Go Troy. Collins did all she could to defend a woman's right to abortion care except for repeatedly voting for conservative nominees when her vote was needed to put them on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh, in official remarks greenlighted police racial profiling, unconstitutional since 1975 #mepolitics

Ohio Gov. Dewine R-OH says mass deportation is not what a majority of Americans want after a Haitian college student in OH, who was in ROTC and on the soccer team, took his own life after losing lawful immigration status --TPS-- and being ordered to wear an ankle monitor restraint #mepolitics

Did the chair of the Appropriations Cmte take up 'ICE shooting Into Cars' with the White House? No. She did discuss reducing the ICE surge in ME with DHS Sec. Noem, which they did but not before ICE agents put Mainers in their database as domestic terrorists for #1A protected speech #mepolitics

Nick Collins Hired a Trump Operative. Why?
Nick Collins’s chief of staff supported Trump. Her politics face scrutiny as Collins avoids taking a clear position on Boston rent control.

Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war. @fetterman.senate.gov's vote four months ago was for an unauthorized war in Iran. It's cost $37 billion, the ceasefire just collapsed, the Trump admin is asking for more war-funding. #papolitics

U.S. taxpayers ponied up $37 billion for an unpopular, unauthorized war on Iran. Pres. Trump campaigned against new wars. The ceasefire just collapsed and Trump admin is seeking more war funding. At home, topline inflation that includes energy and food is 3.5%, wages are up 1% #mapoli
Voters have learned they cannot trust Trump and Trump admin representations about consequential issues.

Ex-Amb. to Hungary warns of U.S. authoritarianism, July 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zxn... #bospoli #mapoli
Former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman issued a glaring warning to Americans in a NYT op-ed about the dangers of acquiescing to what he says are President Trump’s “authoritarian advances.” Noting the parallels with the slide in democracy under Viktor Orbán in Hungary, fascism expert and philosophy professor Jason Stanley says national elites prioritize their individual agendas over the good of the country, “without seeing that what you’re supporting is authoritarianism.”

Come for the scoop that Whiskey Pete has been dubbed Dumb McNamara; stay for the details about the flood of backbiting leaks. zeteo.com/p/the-thug-o...
We here at Zeteo have noticed something we’re sure other media outlets have picked up on, too: The war has turbo-charged the amount of leaking and backbiting that senior Trump officials are conducting against one another. So many of them are truly freaked out. No one wants to be left holding the bag. But so few of them are willing to go against Mad King Donald and will keep waging his wars for him.

The spike in quantity and quality of recent leaks (and finger pointing) remind us of the deluge of leaking to the media that occurred during the first Trump presidency – an era of constant factional gossiping to the press that the second Trump White House had sought to put behind them.

“Everything has gone to shit,” a once-buoyant Trump appointee tells us.
