I’m still waiting to hear how and exactly when the proponents of mass deportations think the labor force transition by citizens to the jobs formerly done by those now deported and detained immigrants will occur.

Next month? Next year? Next decade?

NO! JUST NO!
The President is taking approx $1B of taxpayer funds from a military project to refurbish a plane given to him by a foreign nation, which he plans on taking with him when he leaves office.

For a person who supposedly has a lot of clout in government, Collin’s acts a whole heck of a lot like a puppet…
It's only been six months but we confess we forgot all about how Susan Collins called for Pete Hegseth's anonymous accuser to come forward (tinyurl.com/69jnns6r); the accuser then reached out to Collins thru an intermediary; and then Collins stonewalled her (tinyurl.com/yp4mjnhd). #MEpolitics

You’re Not an Employee Anymore. You’re an Excuse to Kill Social Security.

The GOP scampered off to protect pedophiles & not release the files.

Then came back to gut your right to be an employee.

HR1319 rewrites the rules.

The regime defunds the future by deleting the very idea of a worker.

Trump’s regime wants to flex its power to sweep the abuse and corruption of the Epstein cover-up under the rug.

Angus King's vote to confirm a virulently anti-choice Trump judicial nominee—the only Dem caucus member to do so!—had me so baffled yesterday that I honestly wondered if he'd made a mistake. The real explanation is somehow dumber: Apparently, Josh Hawley asked him nicely
Angus King Says He Voted to Confirm This Anti-Choice Trump Nominee Because Josh Hawley Asked Nicely
The first member of the Senate Democratic Caucus to back a Trump nominee does so for the most embarrassing reason imaginable.

Portland Press Herald has two columnists who kiss Susan Collins's ring so hard they risk swallowing it. Except when they're polishing Jared Golden's boots with their tongues.

But the song and dance has grown pretty tired at this point. Fewer and fewer folks seem to be falling for it. #MEpolitics

Embarrassing video for Susan Collins who has no credible rationale for why she helped Trumpcare pass.

In a healthy media ecosystem, her brazen lie at the front end -- about letting bills come to the floor -- would disqualify her from future office. So far Maine media is covering it up. #MEpolitics

I have never heard of lawyers being allowed anonymity, anywhere
Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.

“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

Parents are now scientists!
Makary: "We have a lot of data and it may not necessarily be the traditional 50 year randomized control trial follow up. It's data from families that say their kids have been acting with bad behavior ... and they eliminate the petroleum-based food dyes and the behavior improves. That is data."
