If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

Boston Globe—“Democratic Representative Seth Moulton of Salem officially launched his challenge of longtime incumbent Senator Ed Markey in the 2026 primary, arguing “it’s time for a new generation of leadership for Democrats and for America.”

These vile texts messages are from a Young Republican group chat and include epithets, racism and Hitler praise as the norm.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

RCMP training is six months. CBSA officer training is 14 weeks. It will take time and budget allocations to scale both up to hire a thousand officers each.
But tell me again that it's a failure and a broken promise that it didn't happen over the summer.
Can everybody just grow the fuck up already?
@PierrePoilievre Prime Minister Carney’s Public Safety minister is responsible for the Canadian Border. He promised to hire 1,000 new border guards, but hasn’t gotten it done, so illegal weapons and drugs keep flooding into our country. Fire Gary Anandasangaree and bring in strong laws that stop crime and secure our border: Quoting @hollyanndoan .@Safety_Canada Minister @gary_srp confirms cabinet has yet to fulfill April election promise to hire more police and border guards. “I’m not responsible for the hiring,” Gary Anandasangaree told Commons committee.

“People like Maxim — who refuse to become silent accomplices to the Kremlin’s crimes — are saving our country’s honor amid this current darkness. And it will be they who will lead Russia back to normality once the drawn-out nightmare of Putin’s rule is over.”

The arrest of opposition leader Maxim Kruglov is a blow against the last vestiges of Russian democracy.

people are DONE with old white people running their worlds

they've completely fucked it up to date so don't expect them to embrace more of the same

if leadership was serious, they'ld look past their buddy network and find a grassroots organizer worth backing

otherwise 'that dude' it will be

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

I will go out of my way to make sure I never hire someone who worked for ICE in this administration. I hope others do the same.

They deserve prison and I hope that happens to them. But I can do my part regardless.
