I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Their letter calls out her five votes to let Trump continue the war with Iran and her votes to confirm the officials carrying out his tariff agenda—decisions that are driving up costs for Maine families. I’m honored to have their support. Mainers deserve a senator who will stand up for them.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

The orientation I want congress to have: productive conflict is GOOD. Dems have a real credibility gap. They need to communicate clearly to the public what they are for. Hold the regime accountable and force Trumpists to oppose popular stuff. Don't muddy the message with watered down bipartisan BS.

Early voting is now possible throughout the country. Most crowded I’ve ever seen my local polling place on an early voting day. Which is a good sign. Turn out. Stand up. Please vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do.

They are among the biggest sources of cancer-causing pollution: chemical manufacturers, steel-making plants, facilities that sterilize medical devices. In 2024, they were required to take steps to reduce toxic emissions. That all changed when President Trump returned to office and gave them a pass.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

And then the Russian company, presented with the evidence we had gathered, acknowledged in a statement: Yes, we are moving to take a large stake in the Polar LNG project in Alaska. Story was nailed. A bit hard to follow with all the names. But this is confirmation. Had not been previously disclosed.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.
