Yeah Jared Golden, we are not impressed that you're not taking all of this more seriously... 🙄 What will it take for the man who calls his constituents "pearl clutchers" to wake up??

Monday’s storm gave us about 5-6 inches. I went out to my car around 7 (didn’t go anywhere), and snapped this shot on the way. Beautiful snow for my birthday!

It now seems we have yet another raging pandemic that was cured by use of vaccination. Here in America, thanks to Robert Kennedy Junior being confirmed as the secretary of HHS I am sure many Americans are going to listen to him and not have their children vaccinated. Ignorance will cause death.
Updated #Measles outbreak map in #Canada

Measles cases are now confirmed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Measles were eradicated in Canada in 1998, get your children vaccinated, stop listening to propaganda.

Absolutely brilliant turnout at today’s Empty Chair Town Hall for Jared Golden in Bangor, Maine.

All of the speakers were amazing and spoke to everything I had planned to say so there was no need to read my letter.

Americans are coming together in numbers to demand that our reps fight the regime!

Nearly 400 people from District 2 showed up to a town hall held in Bangor today. Jared Golden could not be bothered to show up. 🙄 It made for extra passionate speeches and helped us build our solidarity. Lucky for us, there are already people lining up to replace him 👋 #holdtheline #togetherwecan

Americans are in denial about the implications here because they wish it wasn't happening. But this is the behavior of a dictator. It's the sort of thing that warrants secession or revolution. The Republic is over the second federal funding is withheld pending a governor's personal apology.
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

Direct File is a new online tool from the IRS that people can use to file their taxes for free. Elon Musk and the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" want to end it, making it harder and more expensive for people to file taxes.
A government program made tax filing free and more efficient. Musk and DOGE may get rid of it anyway
The fate of the IRS Direct File program is unclear as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency cleave their way through the federal bureaucracy. Republicans and commercial tax preparation...

The important thing to understand about the ADA is it doesn't enumerate accommodations within the law. It just refers people to the guidance created by the Access Board. So removing the guidance is a workaround that hollows out the law without repeal.

I know it’s Sunday, and the Sunday Scaries are basically the Every Day Scaries now.

I want to let you know doing one thing, even one, to fight the all consuming awful of the world is not necessarily to help the world. It helps you too.

Did your Democratic senator betray you yesterday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government? Let them know you’re outraged by their decision to cave to extreme GOP demands, and that they’ve got some work to do to win back your trust: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Again, if the Mad King can just disappear legal residents on personal whim, he can do it for any citizen of the Republic. And if he can do that, without consequence, then I have no idea why you still believe the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive.
I really, really want to be wrong about this. But it's textbook stuff, on a daily basis, right now, & we were starting, in 2025, from a baseline that isn't fully democratic anyway. If the last weeks are what the next several years have in store, then 2026/28 simply will not competitive elections.
Again, elections happen under competitive authoritarianism. What doesn’t happen is legal accountability for criminals allied with the government, or elections that are fully free & fair. We already don’t have those. If the claim is we’re still going to be a full democracy in 2026/8, I have bad news.

What is even happening as people let this happen?
Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power.
