Or even worse the kind of person who would leave the cart in the middle of a parking SPOT. One that can't be seen until you go to pull into it thinking it's empty.
Kinda feels like that's what we have now.

Here's an interesting thought for deciding who to vote for (who to nominate?) for President (or any public office, really): Is this the kind of person who would return the grocery cart to the cart corral? Or is this the kind of person who would leave the cart in the middle of the parking lot?

#mainers will freeze to death. Hope we can get this sorted before next winter.
The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.
Entire Staff Is Fired at LIHEAP
The move threatens to paralyze the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps to offset high utility bills for roughly 6.2 million people nationwide.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Susan Collins is "always there" when MAGA needs here. Noted. #MEpolitics
We just got to make sure every voter in Maine knows next year that her act of pretending to be a “moderate” independent of Trump and MAGA is a fraud. I intend to do everything in my power to facilitate that, and these kind of posts are extremely helpful.

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants.
"If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

It will take one week to do, but years to undo. If we don't take a stand, we will fall into dictatorship quicker than anyone ever imagined.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist
