While you're contacting Mike Johnson's offices, why not also file a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct and the House Committee on Ethics?

It can't hurt for us all to call Mike Johnson's offices and insist he get the House back to work, right?

ALERT: Work in tourist biz in #Portland, like food service, or clerk/shop in the Old Port, or work/visit downtown?

Be aware there is a cruise ship docking on Sunday carrying the very contagious novovirus.

Novovirus is spread a variety of ways:
Indirect transmission Contaminated surfaces: Virus particles can survive on surfaces for weeks. Touching an object with contaminated hands (like a doorknob or countertop) and then touching your mouth can lead to infection.  Contaminated food and drink: This can happen when a sick person handles food without washing their hands, or when food is grown or harvested in contaminated water. Eating undercooked shellfish from contaminated waters is also a risk.  Contaminated water: Drinking water from an infected source or swimming in recreational water that is contaminated with the virus can lead to infection.  Norovirus Fact Sheet for Food Workers - CDCMay 8, 2024 — Foods contaminated with norovirus can make people sick. Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks i...Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC (.gov).H62xKc{color:var(--m3c11);text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-thickness:8%;text-underline-offset:10%;text-decoration-color:var(--IXoxUe);white-space:normal;text-decoration-style:dotted;text-decoration-skip-ink:auto}.H62xKc:hover{cursor:pointer;color:var(--m3c11);text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-thickness:8%;text-underline-offset:10%;text-decoration-color:var(--IXoxUe);white-space:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:auto}.H62xKc:visited{color:var(--m3c11)} Direct transmission Person-to-person contact: This includes sharing food, drinks, or utensils with an infected person, or having close contact with someone who is sick.  Aerosols: Tiny droplets from vomit can be sprayed into the air, landing on food or surfaces, or even being inhaled.  Aerosol Transmission of Norovirus - PMC - NIHJan 19, 2024 — The movement of aerosols in the environment is affected by gravity and airflow.

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

In one Facebook comment, Russin described himself as “straight up racist.” In another, he said that he is openly homophobic and misogynistic.

Michael Russin has questioned the scope of the Holocaust, called for violence against minorities, and was accused in a lawsuit of drugging and sexually assaulting co-workers.

The architect behind the destruction of the East Wing is James McCrery. Be a shame if McCrery Architects got an earful from The People.

I’ve been in the East Wing. It’s amazingly beautiful. If you were visiting the White House, this was where you’d probably come in.

Trump just totally destroyed it. Knocked it down like a dilapidated garage. Without any approval or oversight.

This is the People’s House. He has NO right to do this.

Here are a few pictures from Waterville and Augusta today. People I saw were concerned, committed and creative, an unbeatable combination, I think. We are going to preserve our rights. Mainers are a free people who are going be ruled by laws, not the whims of a corrupt and petty king.

Do we have anyone who can pull IPs from public comments? #altfam? @youranoncentral.bsky.social? @maddow.msnbc.com? There are over 100k comments on this proposal, and batches of them seem mighty sketchy.

Y'all, this is clearly getting swamped by AI responses in favor. The Russian boys are hard at work here.

I just opened the first four comments listed and somehow they're all structured basically the same way but with different wording. This could not be more obviously AI bots.
