This is Vance’s second trip to Maine to campaign for Susan Collins. And yet, both times Collins was “unable to attend” his events. I wonder why Susan Collins won’t get on a stage with Trump or Vance in Maine?

He was impeached for being corrupt. His own office of lawyers resigned en masse because they thought he was a criminal. He was under federal indictment until Trump dropped the case. Did he think he could run for Senate and just…. Not have to talk about that stuff?

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Anyone being cavalier about how this is playing with the general public doesn't care about deportations or demographics. They're nihilists who just want a good show. The number of highly-committed 3-time Trump voters I know who have stepped away over the past week is astonishing.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

If the Biden administration had sent federal agents to do a law enforcement operation 10X milder in a white suburban neighborhood in order to apprehend a serial pedophile and violent domestic abuser who happened to be a white Christian pastor, the MAGA crew would have reduced the country to rubble.

A plurality of voters think nuclear plants should be publicly built, owned, and operated And they are right!!!! www.dataforprogress.org/memos/7/27/v...
Horizontal stacked bar chart titled “A Plurality of Voters Think Nuclear Plants Should Be Publicly Built, Owned, and Operated.” Question: “Would you prefer that nuclear power plants in your state be built, owned, and operated publicly (by state or federal government) or privately (by energy companies)?”

Legend/colors: dark blue = “publicly”; yellow-orange = “privately”; red = “I don’t support any nuclear power plant in my state”; light gray = “Not sure.”

Results:

* **All likely voters:** Publicly 37%, Privately 28%, Don’t support 23%, Not sure 13%.
* **Democrat:** Publicly 40%, Privately 19%, Don’t support 29%, Not sure 12%.
* **Independent/Third party:** Publicly 41%, Privately 20%, Don’t support 22%, Not sure 17%.
* **Republican:** Publicly 32%, Privately 40%, Don’t support 17%, Not sure 11%.

Takeaway: Plurality overall, Democrats, and Independents prefer public ownership; Republicans’ plurality prefers private ownership. Fielding note at bottom: July 11–12, 2025 survey of 1,179 U.S. likely voters. Source: Data for Progress.

Worse than that. Read this EO carefully, it says anyone they see as essentially out of their mind OR homeless. It’s repeated under every point they make. This here allows to take anyone they see as a “threat” and put into an institution.
