We’re dealing with a psychiatric case who should be removed from office.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

“If I was gonna stage a coup in an upcoming election, what exactly would I do to safeguard my protection?” Listen to Sam Hodgson spell it out in the most creative yet scary way possible.

Do not rest on this issue. These bills ban millions of women from voting unless they produce a passport or birth certificate — documents women lose when they marry and change their name. Over 21 million Americans lack ready access. The fix: reject the SAVE Act and protect equal ballot access. #Pinks

Trump promotes dirty coal but solar is out-pacing it and remains the leading source of new power. Data by global energy thinktank Ember showed solar supplied 12.8% of the nation’s electricity. Coal supplied 12.2%, its fourth-lowest monthly share ever. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I've watched about half of this interview with @davidcostello.bsky.social, and I find it mind boggling that he hasn't gotten more traction. He seems to be a decent guy with tons of experience, solid, well thought-out & progressive policy stances, etc. Mainers should check him out. #MEpolitics

Not so long ago, Donald Trump posted a picture of a bound & gagged President Biden in the back of a truck. Trump didn’t apologize & he didn’t take it down. I wrote about it here; the analysis stands up in light of the indictment of Jim Comey today. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

joycevance.substack.comWe Need to Talk About ThisToday’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

The Republican party doesn't want women to vote because women are more likely to vote Democratic than men so they have came up with this scheme called the Save Act.The name sounds like it's patriotic voter protection. But what it really does is disenfranchise women & impose a poll tax.

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social

“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…” “Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”
