Which future headline did Trump write this week?

“Winterport Meeting House”

Many of these “meeting houses,” built in the early 1800s dot Maine. A fair number are being carefully restored to be used as community assets for concerts, weddings, and similar events. Restoration is often costly to maintain a building’s historical authenticity.

Imagine if this kind of loose murder talk was done by somebody with a history of pardoning violent insurrectionists.

Just listened to a poll analysis on NRP speculating on Republicans possibly bucking Trump as his numbers go underwater.

This is framed in politics as normal. Reminder, Trump acts as a vicious vengeful autocrat willing to punish detractors.

Don’t count on GOP courage.

I needed a new wall charger for my over-the-top, over-packaged iPhone and this is the ridiculous amount of tree waste that it came in.

We badly need packaging regulations.

What we ought do is create solutions that provide good housing, can be paid for with living wages, & don't make you an indentured servant to banks & Wall St for a half century through buying a home, having kids, helping launch them, & blowing past your retirement age.

The 50yr mortgage "housing solution" Trump teased has been aptly exposed by @shennabellows.bsky.social as a gimmick.

If you take a $320K mortgage for half a century vs 30yrs, you'll pay $392K more interest, be in debt 20yrs more, & after 10yrs have $40K less equity.

A huge fallacy the GOP always pushes.

The strongest support lifting people out of poverty & hunger isn't giving but government action, the truest expression of the total community.

Do give! But also advocate for government to help all, not just a lucky segment.

#Maine question is:

Will tacking center Mills(77) capture enough 35 year olds’ politics of the present & aspirations for the future or will tacking left Platner(41) capture enough 65 year olds’ politics of the present & aspirations for the future to defeat Collins(72)?

Time to ask the big question if it was taking away SNAP from poor folks or trimming the privileges corporate business enjoyed & profited off in flight availability that really counted in providing momentum to end the #shutdown.

I suspect it's those with the most paid lobbyists.

Trains are about to get great again.

Trump's threatening to put his "true Patriots" up into air traffic control towers. That probably means armed, fanatic loyalist, underqualified, blowhards in flag bandanas bossing pilots and dodging accountability when crashes and collisions pile up.

Thank you Joshua Chamberlain for your guts to take on the opposition in a risky battle and not giving quarter at Little Round Top to help secure overall victory.

Any Senator who has a frequent penchant for invoking your bravery and leadership ought not be surrendering high ground.

You'll see the video of a person collapsing with a medical emergency in the White House today but I wonder how many mainstream outlets will show you Trump's reaction.

By the way that's his "cut SNAP" face.
