I'm a long time practicing attorney in coastal Oregon town. Too many people don't understand how government works. We need to require schools to return to teaching civics in school.

There will come a time soon when approximately 13 Republican Senators will have to choose their country over a cult. We need to work on that after the elections.

The evidence is overwhelming that Susan Collins' campaign was paid by Navatek in a direct quid pro quo for her support of a bill awarding Navatek millions of dollars in defense contracts for items not even wanted by the military. www.propublica.org/article/debu...

To defeat Susan Collins, Democrats must ceaselessly tie her to Donald Trump by emphasizing how she votes, not what she says.

Trump reminds me of a 10-year-old who once did something cute in front of a group when he was 4 years old, and many people laughed. So he tries it again when he's 10 years old. It was cute for a 4-year-old, but at 10 years old it just looks pitiful and sad, and he won't stop doing it.

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has denied the Trump admin’s attempt to stay the court order blocking the president’s attempt to misuse the post office to disenfranchise voters before the election. This is a win for the American people and our votes.

So Trump wants to rename New Mexico to New America. What's next, New England? New Jersey? New York? Gee, I hope we don't get into a trade dispute with the UK, or there's going to be a lot of name changes

Trump's character reminds me a lot of the bandit leader Calvera from the original Magnificent Seven movie. One is a greedy, cruel, heartless bully, and the other is a fictional movie character.

Data centers must provide their own power and not use Public resources and it must be renewable or powered by safe nuclear power. There have been great advancements in safety and methods that make it safe. Please research this before giving your opinion.

I believe that the anti-data Center movement has substantive and procedural components that divide into two separate groups. Some are completely against data centers, and others are opposed to the effect it might have on their $ and environment. The latter can be accomplished; the former cannot.

Susan Collins is talking out of both sides of her mouth. You can't trust her because she says one thing and then caves into Trump when it's time to vote. She's selling you snake oil when she's selling you on the idea she's a moderate. She won't do anything against Trump. Remember Pete Hegseth?

Out of curiosity, has anybody made plans about what to do if Trump declares a national emergency and nullifies the elections? Has anybody planned a national strike, peaceful non-cooperation or something that will have an impact?

Hey Trump, you want to distract people from all your fuck ups? Sacrifice Ron DeSantis by prosecuting him for what clearly is a money laundering scheme. He's clearly guilty. He passed the people's money through organizations he or his people controlled and gave half of it to the Republican Party.

Upon hearing that the Department of Justice is going to deploy a thousand poll watchers, the first thought that occurred to me was "Who will watch the watchers?" In other words, how do we ensure the fidelity of these watchers?

If the US Department of Justice is going to deploy 1000 poll watchers for the election. We should have 10 volunteers for every Department of Justice poll watcher, watching and documenting everything they do.

Elon Musk turned down Ukraine's request to use Starlink to locate and destroy the Russian ballistic missiles, saying,"It will just prolong the war.You guys need to make a deal." Billionaires should not be in a position to determine the outcome of world affairs. There's no morality to their decisions

Dr. Abdul El Sayed is a medical doctor whose career has focused on epidemiology, public health administration, and public service. If anyone understands the problems with the Healthcare System, it's him. Get behind him, Michigan; he's a winner, and you'll be lucky to have him.

I couldn't put my finger on exactly what concerned me about what was lacking in so many democratic candidates. Abdul El Sayed has shown me what has been lacking in so many candidates: true leadership. Not by being the loudest or most outrageous but through a calm sense of reason.

When I say it's mathematically impossible for Stevens to win, what I mean is that, based on statistics and voting patterns, Stevens cannot catch El Sayed unless she gets 62% of the remaining vote, with El Sayed getting 38%. That's just not going to happen.

They may not have declared it yet, but El Sayed is mathematically unbeatable for the Democratic Senate race in Michigan.

Ohio's Senate race could flip control. Sherrod Brown delivered full Social Security for 2 million workers & capped insulin costs—but Repubs are spending record amounts to beat him. If OH falls, the Senate falls. Your move matters here. Elect Sherrod Brown! #ResistanceUnited #Pinks #OneV1 #ProudBlue

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

Yay, the Straight of Hormuz is open again. After spending 100 billion dollars and 13 American lives we get exactly what we had before Trump's War. Trump would take a dump in your living room and want credit for cleaning it up even though he did a poor job of cleaning it up.

Iran deal? TACO, TACO, TACO. We get the Strait of Hormuz open which was open before the war. Iran immediately gets 25 billion dollars, lifting of the blockade and relief from sanctions that were in place before the war. Like I said Trump Always Chickens Out. He also wasted $100,000,000,000 and lives

The only thing capable of stopping Russia's ballistic missiles is the US Patriot anti-missile system. These systems are critical for Ukraine to defend its cities from Russian ballistic missiles. We could sell Ukraine more. Yet, President Zelensky's appeal is going unanswered by President Trump.
