Susan Collins pledged to serve just TWO terms. Now she’s running for a SIXTH. Trust matters. Promises matter. Troy Jackson is fighting for working families, lower drug costs & protecting Social Security. After 30 years, Maine deserves more than “concerned.” #MainePolitics #TroyJackson #SheShed

Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Spending taxpayer dollars to hide the fact that his name was indeed removed from the Kennedy Center is the perfect depiction of the thin-skinned tyrant’s fragility. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had the building torn down in the middle of the night to hide his shame.

Americans need to hear this. The administration wants to cripple NSF. It did so by firing all members of the NSB. A significant amount of technological advances that we enjoy is traced back to NSF funding. The NSF budget = 1/3rd of what the Iran war has cost us in 3 months. It's not about $.🧪

This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.
