Inverted Pyramid

I was proud to help pass universal school meals in the Maine Legislature. But feeding our kids takes more than passing a law. Hardworking farmers like those at Milkhouse Farms, who produce high-quality milk for families across Maine, are the ones putting in the work.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

A margin that seems almost impossible … but miserable defensive play enabled the Fins’ third TD right before the half, so sure.

“The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses. But they’ll never stop the arrival of spring.” — Lula What an extraordinary victory for Brazil! The Brazilians beat back fascism at the ballot box. We can damn well do it here, too. VOTE!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

We should honestly try unplugging this country, wait 60 seconds and then plug it back in.

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

“Georgia Without Ivanishvili!” Thousands have gathered in Tbilisi to protest Ivanishvili’s one-party rule and the ban on opposition parties. Day 697 of uninterrupted protests in Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests ✊🇬🇪🇪🇺 📹 Mo Se

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"

#TrumpCorruption now comes to the Catholic Church.

Give the Nobel back, Trump. #Venezuela

the republican running Constantino… is really really bad. He is a huge trump kiss ass. He is attacking Blake’s family. It’s really disgusting. He just talks about trump.. not what he would do for #NY21. He could create less about #NY21. It would be a waste of time for Blake.

#AgentKrasnov #RussianSanctions #Diesel Bessent’s so full of shite.

No, all of that to fulfil Krasnov's obligations to russia and keep russian finances afloat. Now Krasnov is moving to phase 3 because fuel prices are not yet high enough to cover russian war spendings.

#CostOfLiving has become the number 1 issue for American #Voters, closely followed by #Corruption. Every single Republiacan lawmaker who does not speak out and vote against the #TrumpRegime is responsible for #Trumpflation and corruption. #VoteThemOut, including candidate #PeterOberacker in #NY19.

Watching you destroy what's left of your "career" while inadvertently taking down Vance, is the gift that keeps on giving.

DEAR REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS, BUT INSTEAD YOU WERE COMPLACENT AND LET YOUR "KING" RULE WITH YOUR "RUBBER STAMPS OF APPROVAL"

The corrupt billionaires ransacking our tax dollars and destroying our country are the same guys saying it’s the fault of immigrants, trans people and people of color. It’s never been more blatantly obvious.

I'm asking my fellow Jews in Michigan to help elect the first Muslim American to the U.S. Senate—a devoted dad, a scholar, a visionary thinker, and a genuinely good dude. Let's be the people we hope others will be. Islamophobia and antisemitism feed the same beast. Let's starve that MFer.

Bill Maher had lunch with Donald Trump again. It’s beyond belief that someone would so willingly sit down for a meal with such a reprehensible piece of shit. But I’m sure Trump had his reasons.

The 696th consecutive day of protests in Georgia.

When does Obama get to part where he checks out Ossof’s biceps and Mayor Pete’s glutes? #Election2026 #OHsen #OHgov

Outstanding ad! Corruption isn’t endemic to American politics, and it doesn’t have to be … Trump be damned. #TXsen #Election2026

Great story! The best lives are those filled with such anecdotes.

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

@larrysabato.bsky.social Please update Senate ratings soonest. I’m losing my mind …

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

UPDATE: The DOJ’s demand to set aside ballots in California is impossible to carry out and has no basis in federal law, L.A. County told a federal court last night. Voting is already underway, the county said, and once a ballot leaves its envelope, it can’t be traced back to a voter.
