This is what America looks like without an Attorney General. This is what America looks like when the Justice Department is the President’s private law firm.

Janet Mills understands the needs of Mainers. She has served with integrity and passion as Attorney General and Governor. As a U.S. Senator, she plans to work to lower costs, protect healthcare, and stand up to anyone who tries to hurt the state and its people.

Elect Janet Mills

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

Here’s a list of J6 pardonees who’ve had unrelated crimes also pardoned.
You know, nice list of illegal arms dealers, kiddie porn manufacturers, oh, and a domestic terrorist.
Trump re-pardons a Jan. 6 defendant to erase unrelated gun conviction — POLITICO
The new pardon ends a legal clash over the limits of Trump’s sweeping Day One clemency for those who stormed the Capitol.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Weather is short-term; climate is long-term. A cold week doesn’t disprove a warming planet. Scientists use decades of data—temperatures, ice loss, ocean heat—to determine climate trends.
