Maine, you have a choice: A Senator who helps Donald Trump hurt Maine and then tells us how concerned she is or somebody who will stand up against him before another family in Maine has to pay the price. I owe the people of Maine everything and tonight I'm asking for your vote.

Putin and Xi appear to enjoy humiliating Trump for all the world to see and Trump appears to enjoy being treated like a fool by autocrats. How far we have fallen in such a short period of time.

Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps confirms Starlink issues on the Huliaipole axis. Starshield connections began dropping for 10-20 seconds as UAVs reached 110-120 km/h. The disruption has already forced one unmanned systems unit to cancel some missions today. #Ukraine

“This is the Epstein Administration because there are two types of people in it — people who are in the Epstein files and people who are covering up the Epstein files.” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social “The Epstein Admin protects the Epstein Class, supported by the Epstein Court.” @dzaia40.bsky.social

“Admin Officials in the Epstein Files:
Donald J. Trump (President*)
Melania Trump (1st Lady)
Howard Lutnick (Sec. Commerce)
John Phelan (Sec. Navy)
Paolo Zampolli (Kennedy Center)
RFK Jr. (Sec. HHS)
Kevin Warsh (Fed Nominee

Who else is in the Epstein files that we don’t yet know about?

Madeline Westerhout is in the Epstein files but not as an abuser:

This tweet is from 500 days ago. Apparently the "really bad things" that would happen to Putin and Russia if they refused to stop their war would be Trump lifting sanctions on them and paying them billions of dollars for less than a days worth of America's diesel needs.
