Truly, literally, has anybody ever pulled the ladder up behind them faster and harder in American politics than Governor Paul LePage? Truly the ideal candidate for this era of “socialism for me and my friends, peanuts for the rest” Republicans. Revolting guy.

Paul LePage lost the race tonight. By coming out against all of Trump’s policies, he’ll lose the only people that still like him. And nobody’s buying this Paul the Snowbird moderate schtick from Mr. “Trump before Trump was Trump.”

Paul LePage supports this absolutely and calls himself “Trump before Trump was Trump”. Go back to Florida Paul.

This has, unfortunately perhaps, been self-evidently true my entire adult life, and I can only assume forever. It is only a select, privileged few with the time, money, and inclination to buy “fair trade”, local, etc.

Excited to announce to my dozens of followers on here that our long national nightmare is over - I finally get to get back to work - campaigning for Matt Dunlap to hold ME-2!

PSA: Had the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Barbara this week gone the other way, Folarin Balogun, who just scored for the U.S. in the World Cup, would likely not be considered a citizen. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Folarin Balogun scored two goals on his World Cup debut, but he is the type of person President Trump is trying to ban under birthright citizenship.

Hot take incoming: Getting off Jaylen for a potential top pick, an expiring max contact slot, and more picks, when everyone in the league knows he wants out and aren’t willing to help Boston out, will turn out to be another Brad Stevens masterclass. Write it down so you remember this take.

A new genre of “how would the press treat it under a Democratic administration” is “when all four sides in the conflict are attacking one another under a ceasefire”.

Nice of the refs to keep the game going indefinitely until Turkey scored a goal at the end, wouldn’t want them to leave the tournament without winning any games at all ❤️

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

Has a Kevin Durant team ever over-performed its talent? Literally, since OKC, has it happened even once? Lots of examples of the opposite. I wonder why such a great has so little success at winning, especially when there’s not a (real) leader to shoulder the load. Anyway, good luck Houston!

I kind of love the chance to objectively see how bad these umpires are, and the speed of the reviews. Bucknor has been perhaps the worst balls and strikes umpire for years and years.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18.	He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19.	He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20.	He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

“The events of the past three months seem almost perfectly engineered to spark campus unrest,” Rose Horowitch argues. “But campuses across the country—places where students colonized the quad to protest Israel’s war against Hamas—are strangely silent.”

Where Are All the Campus Protests?
Two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad. Now the same places are strangely silent.

…the united states is neither a small central european country with a relatively closed media ecosystem nor is it a formerly authoritarian state with a starkly underdeveloped civil society. even during the heyday of hegemonic mass media…

An economic collapse entirely brought on by the Administration and the cronies or feckless foes who went along with it. If you negotiated a deal to fund this, voted for it the whole time despite “concerns”, or told us it “wouldn’t be that bad” - you’re discredited and wrong.

Now - to enjoy the privilege of blocking out the state sponsored terror campaigns in our state and across the country for 2.5 hours and watch the Patriots go to another Super Bowl as an epic blizzard rages - as we were born to do in New England.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We’re already moving into “the real problem with the government murdering people in cold blood and then lying about it is fundraising texts from Dems” on BlueSky and folks - it is not, and you need to focus on the government doing the evil things, not fight your petty little fights.

If I were an nfl expert, who 5/5 picked the wrong squad, at home, the #2 seed, 11 wins in a row to end the season, and then my pick easily lost in a predictable way… I’d be wondering what the point of my job really is. Anyway congrats Patriots!

Why is Kirk Herbstreet announcing an NFL playoff game? Why is a decaying, slurring Al Michaels? (It’s because there are now 11 distinct broadcasts and you have to Google it to figure out which one the game is playing on)

It’s a good thing some Senators negotiated a deal so we could have a (failed) ACA subsidies vote and fund the government to invade Venezuela and end NATO.
