My list for dumbest U.S. senators were Tuberville, Blackburn and Mullin. All are leaving the Senate. So else fits that category?

Manufacturing has taken a beating under Trump

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Maine is part of this lawsuit. Thank you, AG Frey.

Job losses started after Liberation Day

We were definitely liberated from something

US wants world to buy its fossil fuels, while China wants to sell world its clean tech.

Matt Dunlap helped force out Jared Golden by challenging him for the nomination. Baldacci endorsed Golden and Wood said nothing. #mepolitics

Good riddance, Jared. #mepolitics

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

This is enraging. #mepolitics

Katz. See my question.

Does he do anything Jewish? He doesn't have to to be Jewish, but it is a real question that tells you how enmeshed he is in some Jewish community.

APNewsAlert: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Bahrain says an Iranian missile hit a state-run oil refinery.

Agree. Platner seems to think the job of a senator is to give speeches and take votes based on preexisting opinions. He's missing part of the job and doesn't demonstrate the ability to negotiate, query witnesses and experts and work in coalition to pass imperfect legislation.

The Maine Wire regularly spreads this same anti-Catholic, xenophobic smear. #mepolitics

Graham Platner’s wife isn’t Jewish. That said, I don’t think he’s an antisemite. I do think he should speak out against antisemitism.

You could write a book!

At this point, whenever a news headline starts with the phrase “College Republican group chat”, it feels like a pretty safe bet that the article involves a metric fuckton of bigoted slurs and/or Hitler particles.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

No. No. No.

What would you do?

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Tapping the sign:

The power of the purse is the ultimate war power.

We’ve seen Mills win statewide before. Last time it was by 90,000 votes. Platner has political skills and is running at a time that gives him advantages but he’s never been tested in any election.

No, but she’s won statewide before. Last time it was with a 90,000 vote margin.

Republicans voted down Schumer’s attempt to end this war.

Susan Collins just gave Donald Trump the green light to take further unilateral military action that could push the United States into another endless war without oversight.

She doesn't have the courage to stand up to the President, even when American lives are on the line.

No money for health care but there’s massive amounts for war.

Off

My sense is that she doesn’t want to piss of his strongest backers.

There has not been a single negative ad aired against Platner yet, so his number vs Collins is inflated. #mepolitics

UNH has a lousy track record, no?
