We're spending billions of dollars on a deadly and pointless war while our health care system in Maine is collapsing. Stop the war. Now.

Have you seen these?! Stickers have been spotted in Philadelphia and Sacramento that are calling attention to how Trump's war in Iran is driving up prices at the pump. The average price of gasoline jumped to $3.63 a gallon last week, according to a report by Business Insider.

This type of behavior is becoming "normalized" and is a threat to society. This isn't what the founders imagined when they ratified the 2nd amendment in 1791. If we care about this country, it's time to redefine that amendment.🗽

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes, that’s right! Susan Collins voted to make it harder for us to vote. It’s an election year and this can only mean one thing: she doesn’t think she can win if we all have fair access to voting. We’re not taking this sitting down and we hope you won’t either. #MEPolitics #SeeYaSusan #BangorME

Hey #Maine, the worse elements in the far right are praising Susan Collins to the high skies for sponsoring with them the types of voting restrictions that 64%, that is over 308,000, of us rejected just 3 months ago. She’s someone’s else’s Senator, not ours. #resist #mepolitics #MESen #VoteBlue26

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government. And they won’t even show up to work. Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

An interesting factoid I unearthed today. The NY Times no longer calls Epstein's death a "suicide." An article today said he "died in a Manhattan jail cell." But (a search shows) until July 24, the Times routinely called his death a suicide. Language matters. What changed their editorial policy?
