Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

The president’s proposal to enclose a park in Washington could alter how the space has been used for generations.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

According to ERA5 global sea surface temperatures have set a new all time record. This is likely the warmest sea surface temperatures have been in at least the last 125,000 years. What’s more concerning is this will likely rise further in the coming months.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

One of the things I hate the most about tariffs is that we knew they were illegal, and when the court finally decided they were illegal, they forced Trump to refund the tariffs. But the refunds went to the corporations, and not the people the corporations raised prices on. What a scam.

Instead of fighting for Maine, Susan Collins has destroyed Roe v. Wade, recklessly funded ICE, threatened rural hospitals, raised gas prices, propped up Big Pharma, and helped slash Medicaid. Maine deserves a senator who actually gives a damn about the working people in this country.
