A MaineHealth registered nurse who works at Maine Med in Portland has been abducted by ICE! She is an asylum seeker who is legally authorized to work in the US until 2030. She is currently being held in Boston but we fear she may soon be transferred to Louisiana or Texas.

Protest in Portland, ME tomorrow for a MaineMed nurse who was abducted by ICE

Jaws 5: MAGAlodon. A Fauci-esque marine biologist tries to warn everyone, but the corrupt MAGA govt scapegoats and puts him on trial for hurting the tourism economy. Meanwhile, MAGA Shark, masquerading as a Democrat, begins a candidacy for ME Senate, way too early, and without being properly vetted.

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

I walked down the aisle to the theme from Masterpiece Theater. 🥰

I post for the people who grew up wailing “ahhhh! ahhhh!” in perfect time with the lady slumped backward over a gravestone in the Masterpiece: Mystery! opening credits and still do it every single time.

Susan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE. This is how Collins wins in Maine. Dems must go on offense on ICE to thwart this scam. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

What Susan Collins Just Did on Trump and ICE Should Worry All Dems

She voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding. But now she’s taking credit for a new bodycam commitment from ICE. Democrats can’t let her get away with this.

It would be so easy for Sen Collins to say "I made the mistake of believing Kavanaugh back then but he lied to me." But that would mean admitting to a mistake. Instead she digs in and says she'd vote for him again while blaming Maine protesters #mepolitics www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

She Voted for a Justice Who Overturned Roe. Now it Haunts Her on the Trail.

Senator Susan Collins, who supports abortion rights, endorsed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court. It has emerged as a major issue in her campaign for re-election.

8/1 Poll: Just 35% of Maine voters say Senator Collins has done a good job with how she's voted on Supreme Court nominees #maine #MEpolitics

It’s called accountability, Susan. You’d know that if you had any political courage. #MEpolitics

Amy Fried@asfried.bsky.social · 5d ago

According to this, Susan Collins "has appeared to hold grudges against people who criticized her vote" for Kavanaugh. Oh, really? And what about us? I think we can/should hold a grudge against her for that! #mepolitics www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

She's practicing for Halloween. :) See you in September! 🍂✌️ #caturday

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

As we pay our final respects to the covered artists during the final day of #5CoverSongsTribute, my co-hosts and I invite you to join us next month for #5CoverSongsOdds. You don't have to be odd to participate (but it helps!), just prep some cover songs that reference odd numbers.

All The City Lights@atcl.bsky.social · last mo.

Pour one out for #5CoverSongsHues, because it's time to move on and get your affairs in order for #5CoverSongsTribute. The only rule is the song has to originally be by an artist who is no longer with us. Join us for the final five days of July!

Because the 1st is a Saturday, “How is it August already?!” will be observed today, Friday, July 31, 2026. Please panic accordingly.

Hope to see some familiar faces in Portland tomorrow!

“Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine” is one of the greatest lines of the 20th century and if you have the chance to talk about it to the Pope as its author, or about it to its author as the Pope, I think you are required to shoot your shot

The really interesting thing about the whole Faucci thing is how they still haven't prosecuted anyone in the Epstein files yet.

I stand with Dr. Fauci, one of the most consequential scientists of the last century.His ability to listen to the Act-up community helped change the response to HIV/AIDS & his leadership in the response to Covid saved millions. A Gig poster from Bob G thanking St Anthony (Fauci) hangs outside my lab

"Tonight she had an anxiety reaction. I calmed her over the phone,” Fauci wrote of Katie Miller in an entry dated May 9, 2020. The journal entry said, “I am calling katie frequently to check on her couple time per day. www.notus.org/health-scien...?

Redacted Fauci Diary Entries Depict Him Personally Helping Katie Miller

Katie Miller, who has since called for infectious disease doctor Anthony Fauci to be jailed, has said Fauci’s diary entries are self-aggrandizing.

We must take control of the senate in 96 days and block every Trump nomination: officers, judges, and justices.

FLAG: Trump just said he doesn't object to withdrawing Todd Blanche's nomination — keeping him in an acting capacity as AG — until after Sens. Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.
