64 Years To The Day: Sunday, 09/30/62: JFK warns against institutional defiance. If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men... can defy commands of our court then indeed the American experiment has failed. 2026: Trump is the embodiment of JFK’s warning 64 years ago.

You know what really fucking pisses me off? Not only did Susan Collins take a bribe from a Hawaiian Navy Contractor, in doing so, Collins sold out Maine’s Bath Iron Works— one of America’s greatest shipbuilders for the Navy. And BIW builds ships the Navy ACTUALLY wants.

On this ad with Rep Brandon Gill, who was too chickenshit to actually run for this seat: - Free Advice: If it has “Stands With Child Predators” next to your face probably not a good idea to run it - “Talarico talks like us”… NO ONE talks like Brandon Gill. WHAT IS THAT?

We all knew this day would come: Trump Admin have been COVERING UP number of Americans killed during Trump’s Iran War. Internal numbers: AT LEAST 22-23 (not 18) plus 3 contractors. Hegseth needs to be impeached IMMEDIATELY. 🎁 Gift Article www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

Today, a canvasser paid by a pro Susan Collins SuperPAC was caught on camera stealing a package off the porch of a Maine Voter. Who’s funding these PACs? The Maine Wonk did the deep dive back in June. Billionaires. Private Equity. Govt Contractors. Palantir. And Bob Kraft.

📊 MAGA didn’t launch a $100 MILLION rescue mission in Texas because they are ahead. They launched a $100 MILLION rescue mission when their internal polling has them shitting their pants… And Paxton has the rizz of a dead Texas Armadillo. www.wonkstack.com/p/the-14-poi...

Why is Rep Maria Salazar putting out an ad distancing herself from Trump in a district he carried by FIFTEEN points in 2024? Her district is 75% Hispanic. There are 7 majority Hispanic districts currently held by Republicans (including vacant TX23). All of them are in play

Less than two fucking years. That’s all it took for Trump and GOP to break the economy for working people. And in 48 days, we can start rebuilding.

‼️ BLOOMBERG: Trump made more trades than ENTIRE House & Senate COMBINED 01/20/25–06/30/2026: - Trump & money managers: 28.7K - Congress: 22.3K - House: 19.4K - Senate: 2.9K It’s the most corrupt admin in history. Why can’t we ban all stock trading by Congress AND President

📊 My Latest: MAGA still a movement but it no longer has a majority. The 2024 coalition wasn’t a conversion. It was a rental. 20 months later the receipt came due: - Independents: out - 18% approval either under 30 crowd - 26% approval with Hispanics open.substack.com/pub/themaine...

My latest: The Photo. America First without codified policy is a slogan. Equity without Hire American rules is just importing cheap labor for Corporations. Policy without investment in American workforce just maintains the status quo. open.substack.com/pub/themaine...

You cannot legislate a student section. You can put a wage floor on OPT and a lockout on layoff-and-replace. My American Workers First Act (Updated for 2026) does just that.

So if you’re keeping up: - Anthropic says we need to slow down AI development for safety & security reasons. - OpenAI says no IPO in 2026. - Elon endorses development slow down. - US futures Markets tank. - Oil up. - Market experts expect 2 rate hikes: September and December. In short:

‼️My Latest: If your 1st sentence is a culture war & your 3rd is rent, you’ve already lost the room. The Blue Collar Big Tent can’t be a slogan. It must be a coalition that can hold a Maine logger & a Brooklyn Socialist without making either the mascot.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.
New analysis by CAPAF provides rough estimates of who benefits and shows that Trump’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate down to 15 percent would:

Give the largest 100 U.S. companies (the Fortune 100) a total estimated annual tax cut of $48 billion. They reported $1.1 trillion in profits in their last annual report.
Give 10 of the largest U.S. companies alone, including Meta, Comcast, and JPMorgan Chase, a total estimated annual tax cut of $23 billion. They reported more than $520 billion in profits.
Give the five largest U.S. oil companies—Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum/ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, and Valero Energy—an annual total estimated tax cut of $2.5 billion. They reported more than $90 billion in profits.
Give the five largest drug makers—Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, AbbVie, and Bristol Myers Squibb—an annual total estimated tax cut of $3.1 billion. They reported over $50 billion in profits.
Give five of the largest Wall Street banks—JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs—an annual total estimated tax cut of $4.1 billion. They reported nearly $113 billion in profits.
Give five of the largest grocery companies—Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart—an annual total estimated tax cut of nearly $1.7 billion. They reported over $29 billion in profits.
