Mainers are tired of the negativity, and so are my kids. I'm running to build more housing and lower health care costs. That's the conversation Maine people want to have. Check out our new ad, "Time-Out".

In keeping with her no phones policy, I won’t say much about the Phoebe Bridgers show at the Garden last night except: A) I went with my daughter and that was lovely in its own right and B) it was a truly amazing performance both musically and aesthetically ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't think Katie Britt went slackjawed because she was mortified by Eric Schmitt's sloppiness. I think she (like all Republicans) knew the hearing was meant to generate propaganda and lawfare and she was crestfallen to see it come apart. Reporters should ask her if she knew the ambush was coming.

It's fascinating, to me, how many columns and articles were written after Biden's withdraw from Afghanistan about the looming humanitarian catastrophe that Biden caused and how many fewer were written about Trump slashing US humanitarian aid still being sent there from $3B/year to $0 in 2025.

"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."
