Loss #1

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.

Amen

Agree re outlets I’m familiar enough with—especially appreciate TNR, AP, Guardian, ProPublica & MSNBC except for Joe & recent missteps including terminating Matthew Dowd. I can’t watch CNN. Heartbroken over The Atlantic & WaPo—I keep thinking Henry David Thoreau & Katharine Graham don’t deserve this

Try to imagine if federal agents under a Democratic administration had fired pepper balls at conservative clergy protesting--- let's just say --- abortion.

They've litigated and won Supreme Court cases over much less.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

"After a few moments of laughter..."

The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

“If Americans had a more clear-eyed view of Putin, they would see a dictator who’s bet everything on a failed invasion, a country losing its sphere of influence, and an economy…cooling. A realistic view of his power would strip Putin of his biggest leverage: the perception of his invincibility.”

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

Future historians may well argue that the Jim Crow era, which, depending on how one periodizes, lasted for roughly 75 years, represented a longer time period than the modern civil rights era, which, even if one starts with Brown v. Board, is barely 70 years old.

Indeed “reminiscent of Reagan/Carter & a different hostage release…”

Hamas agreed to this same deal by Dec 2024. But “Baskin would soon learn that the Israelis had no intention of striking any agreement before a change of administration in Washington…”
Reminiscent of Reagan/Carter and a different hostage release…
