The US government has jumped headfirst into insanity. Under Pete Hegseth, the US military will now subject soldiers to religious tests of their "spiritual fitness". This comes from a military that insists that bombing a school full of children was perfectly fine. ffrf.org/news/release...

Pete Hegseth announced a new military project today, to create a force of thousands of robot soldiers. It’s named Project Agincourt. The Battle of Agincourt was infamous, even in medieval times, when King Henry slaughtered French prisoners, an atrocity. So, you trust those robot soldiers?

As someone who grew up along the shore of Lake Ontario, I have to ask: When Donald Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America, will he also rename the Town of Ontario, New York to the Town of America, New York? Will he rename Ontario County, New York to America County?

On the scene here in Biddeford where ICE shot and killed someone this morning. Still so many unknowns. Let me be clear: Federal immigration enforcement should NOT be using deadly force against anyone in our communities. Period. We need a full, independent investigation, and we need answers.
