The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.

But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?

"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

Such a special event to attend.

The new Sea Captain Statue was installed in front of Penobscot Marine Museum’s Fowler-True-Ross House.

An impressive tribute to mariners who contributed to Searsport’s history.

If you’re looking for what @npr.org and @pbs.org stations to donate to, this is the best website I have seen and it gives you the ability to choose how much federal funding is their total revenue if they are an HBCU if they are native, if they are rural the licensing type and the state it is amazing

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Israel is preventing the WHO from sending incubators into Gaza.

Think about how savage, how barbaric, how evil, you have to be to defend that and defend the government doing that.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? 

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Our Librarian of Congress was terminated by the Trump Admin yesterday despite her exemplary service. Dr. Carla Hayden is a librarian non pareil - an historian, researcher, & dedicated public servant. Fear of Black excellence cannot erase her accomplishments or the gift of her service. #Blacksky
