Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

No wonder the powers that be are doing everything they can to stop the files from coming out. The credibility of the entire government is going to come crashing down.

BREAKING: FBI documents from 2008 confirm that Jeffrey Epstein provided information to the FBI as part of a non-prosecution agreement with the State of Florida.

In return, federal charges were dropped as long as Epstein upheld the terms of his plea deal.

Vance has already brushed off these vile comments while the staffers who made them lose their jobs. He will come to regret his flippant response when it's fodder for campaign attack ads.

Prosecute ICE. Reform SCOTUS ASAP. Restore ROE. Medicare for All. Boot Blackstone from the housing market. Repeal Citizens United. Make college affordable. Ban Congress from Insider Trading.

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.

Why were Kennedy and Trump fighting at Kavanaugh's swearing in ceremony? Kennedy's son worked for Deutsche Bank on Trump's case. Trump forced Kennedy to resign. I'll always wonder.

Elise Stefanik is inextricably linked to the vile New York State Young Republicans, describing them as the "backbone of our party." They also gave her an award. This should destroy Stefanik's chances for New York Governor. Too bad so sad.
