The quid pro quo takeover for oil.
Screenshot of a post by James Talarico on X criticizing Donald Trump over oil policy and Venezuela. The post claims Trump promised American oil executives favorable treatment in exchange for campaign donations and argues that U.S. actions in Venezuela are illegal, reckless, and corrupt. Below the post is a screenshot from The New York Times showing an article excerpt about U.S. plans for Venezuela’s oil industry. A highlighted sentence quotes Trump saying oil development “is going to make a lot of money,” emphasizing financial motivations tied to Venezuela’s large oil reserves.

If you haven't called the reps yet, @indivisible.org has a good script to start this latest conversation with their offices.

A screenshot of a script from indivisible org that says, "Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m outraged that the Trump administration is pushing us into war with Venezuela. They’ve escalated military pressure and taken over Venezuela without a clear plan for transitioning power. All without authorization from Congress. Your constituents do not want another endless war. We do not want more violence where US servicemembers and civilians are put in danger, just to serve Trump and his Big Oil cronies. Congress must reassert its war powers. We’re counting on you to stand up to Trump and put a check on his power grab immediately. Thank you."

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?

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.

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.

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.
