Rep. Max Miller’s repeated abuse of my daughter and granddaughter makes him unfit for public office. Thank you for your patience as I awaited results from the focus group before releasing this statement. by Sen. Bernie Moreno

The "Wall Street Journal" has a column accusing Mayor Mamdani of antisemitism, and they've chosen to illustrate it with just about the most blatantly Islamophobic illustration of Mamdani one could find. This is the equivalent of illustrating a Jewish politician with moneybags and puppet strings.

Only 1/3rd of Americans say Trump's East Wing, Reflecting Pool, and triumphal arch projects are good ideas. But among construction contractors with ties to Trump golf resorts, that number seems much higher.

Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.

Trump hebt jetzt 100% Zölle auf Generika ein. Dadurch werden sich die Preise verdoppeln. Ein genialer Schachzug - denn zuvor schon hat Trump ja bekanntermaßen Medikamentenpreise um 500% gesenkt. Also auf minus 400%. Nach Verdopplung jetzt also -800%. Wer in den USA Medikamente braucht, wird reich!

Die Normalisierung des Faschismus, die wir seit Jahren erleben, ist eine Katastrophe. Die nächste Eskalationsstufe ist jetzt die Abnormalisierung des Antifaschismus. Wenn man mit Antifa-TShirt jetzt Angst haben muss, als Terrorist betrachtet zu werden, dann wird's wirklich finster.

„Gipfel gegen Linksextremismus“: Mit Trump gegen die Antifa

Die Bundesregierung wird Gastgeber des Follow-ups von Trumps „Gipfel gegen Linksextremismus“ – und treibt damit den autoritären Staatsumbau auch hier voran.

Es ist wieder mal dieses Wetter, bei dem man denkt "kann hier bitte endlich mal jemand die Fenster öffnen und ordentlich durchlüften!", aber leider ist man schon im Freien.

We skipped straight from “climate change isn’t real” to “climate change requires us to viciously compete with the rest of the world for increasingly scarce resources” without any stop at “collective action to fight climate change” in between.

Post from Mike Rogers: “For the fourth summer in a row, Canada has made its wildfire smoke Michiganders’ problem. 

The implications are real — and hazardous for you and your family — yet zero accountability for the country that constantly pushes crippling environmental regulations. 

Canada has to get its act together—and as your Senator, I’ll make sure of it.”Post from John James: “FINAL WARNING TO CANADA: Manage your forests to prevent these fires. American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year. 

Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.”

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I have finally found it, the stupidest anti-trans argument. Congratulations on understanding that gender, just like language, is socially constructed, I guess.

“Wait, hear me out. The gaslighting that society puts us through with our children can be reasonably analogized to the gaslighting that society puts us through with jalapenos. I can explain.

Society INSISTS endlessly that the word “jalapeno” is pronounced “hall-uh-peen-yo”, even though all spelling rules and conventions would say that it SHOULD be pronounced “juh-lop-en-oh”. In much the same way, society insists that, not only can my estranged son become a woman, but that he ALREADY IS. This despite CENTURIES of tradition and language demonstrating the opposite - that he is a MAN and MALE and will always be A MAN and was once a BOY. Just the same, “jalapeno” is pronounced “juh-lop-en-oh” when speaking proper english.”

I believe Ted Cruz is eligible because the term natural-born citizen should be read against the common law's historical practice and subsequent American practice, given the text. It isn't hard to extend legal principles to your political opponents if you actually believe them, I reckon.

I contend Cruz is not eligible. My opinion is that natural born means from the Constitution, not from Congress. Cruz is a citizen due to a law passed by Congress, not from the Constitution.

I think this is a good example of why having candidates dropping from the sky is a bad thing, and why having candidates come out of cadres is a good thing. There is a reason why people like Zohran don’t have these issues. They had to build a reputation inside an organization for years.

Absolutely embarrassing for Maine Democrats to be releasing this statement now and not over the Nazi tattoo. Those women all had to re-traumatize themselves and be cast as liars and villains by the worst misogynists of our nation bc you all decided Nazi tats were fine, actually. Disgraceful.

Statement from Maine Democratic Party Leadership on Allegations Against Graham Platner
Augusta, Maine - "Maine Democratic Party leadership takes seriously our responsibility to hold every candidate who seeks to represent our state to the highest standard.
Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today's statements take those allegations even further.
Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.
The Maine Democratic Party leadership stands with women and survivors, and that principle does not bend based on party affiliation. We respect the women who made the hard decision to come forward. Speaking up is often costly.
We are entrusted with deciding who represents our values and who carries our banner. That responsibility requires judgment, leadership, and a willingness to act when circumstances demand it.
This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. It is essential that we refocus this campaign on that struggle".
Charlie Dingman, Chair Imke Schessler, Vice Chair
Devon Murphy-Anderson, Executive Director

The embarrassment of celebrating Trump’s corruption and cheating at the World Cup. Jeffries telling the world the Democratic Party also supports corruption at the world stage. Pathetic.
