Now is not the time to demand perfection from our candidates. If Democrats take the Senate we can block Trump from appointing another Supreme Court justice. That's monumental.

Good news from Maine. Hannah Pingree is the Dem nominee for governor after ranked choices were tabulated. She is a solid progressive with lots of great experience. also a good pick for CD2 prevailed in RCV in Matt Dunlap who will now face off against Paul Lepage

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Jeff Bezos’ intentional destruction of the Washington Post, a long-time linchpin of the Fourth Estate, is mostly about currying favor with the Trump administration to advance Bezos’ many business interests. deeply cynical & calculating. a sign of the depths to which we have sunk

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate. They are state-run media. Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

We Mainers know Angus king to be a lame excuse for a senator. I see that Tim kaine & Jeanne shaheen have joined him in accepting a fake deal with the fascists. shame on rh bunch of them for joining the MAGA cult for nothing. The laugh on them is that the house is likely going its own crazy way

One of the Orange Menace's biggest lies is that he is a skilled & accomplished negotiator. Those of us capable of remembering his first term remember that he could not reach or close productive deals (remember how he got played by China). He is all about delusional self promotion & nothing else.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

The Trump administration is grossly incompetent on all levels. It lacks personnel w/ the knowledge to make meaningful trade deals w/ individual countries. We will end up with arbitrary tariffs that, in the absence of a coherent & long-term industrial policy, will do nothing to restore manufacturing

Gotta say there is a small amount of perverse justice in Trump's willingness to screw Jeff Bezos by imposing mega tariffs on the core component's of Amazon's business--imports from Asian countries. Bezos is finding out the hard way that there is no deal to be had with the devil.

The Trump presidency is deeply embarrassing. Today, he and JD Vance, went to new lows in attacking president Zelenskyy – a true war hero. Trump and Vance looked weak. Absent their positions they are weak. Today we witnessed way beyond Nixonian abuses of power. It was Hilterian.
