Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

Peggy Stuart@peggystuart.bsky.social · 6d agoFrom the Lincoln Project: Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · last wk.Trump's betting on Dems to lack the will. That's why he's mounting impeachable offenses, rubbing his impunity in everyone's face. After 10 years, you can see why he thinks this is a safe bet. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...
