Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

Boothbay Register letter to the editor:

Disenfranchising voters 
Mon, 02/23/2026 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: 

Last week I called Senator Susan Collinโ€™s office in Augusta. I got through to one of her assistants. I asked the assistant if it is true that the Senator proposes to vote in favor of the SAVE act which is currently under discussion in the Senate. The staffer said, โ€œYes.โ€ 

I pointed out, as a constituent of Susan Collins, that a little over three months ago Mainers voted overwhelmingly against similar measures in Referendum 1.A vote for the SAVE act and similar measures would fly directly in the clearly expressed face of the wishes of Susan Collinโ€™s own constituents. The staffer ended the call without asking for my name, or town, or whether I would like any response from Senator Collins. 

It seems that constituent opinions are no longer of any importance to Senator Collins. This prompted me to do some online research into the last time Senator Collins held an in-person town hall with any of her constituents. Artificial Intelligence (AI) reported it is over 20 years ago. I donโ€™t trust AI and simply could not believe this answer. I did some more checking, and some more checking, and some more checking. And everywhere I got the same answer: over 20 years. 

If true, this is frankly astonishing. Imagine an elected politician who avoids meeting her constituents! And who is willing to vote against the clearly expressed wishes of 64% of those who voted on Referendum 1 last November. And to do this on a measure which, if passed, will disenfranchise an estimated tens of thousands of those voters.  

But that, of course, is the whole point of this Republican effort. To make it harder to vote so thatentrenched politicians like Susan Collins are not accountable to their constituents. President Trump has expressed this multiple times recently, including the statement last week that if the SAVE act is passed Republicans will โ€œnever lose a race for 50 years.โ€ 

Let us hope thโ€ฆ

Susan Collins doesn't do town halls; doesn't mingle in public (at least not in Maine!); and over and over you hear folks relate that her staff are rude if not outright dismissive. #MEpolitics

The Pentagon will now use Elon Musk's Grok AI on classified projects and weapons development systems.

This comes after Grok drew controversy for producing explicit images of underage girls.

2. Why wouldnโ€™t Nancy Guthrieโ€™s kidnapping remain unsolved given the countryโ€™s leading lawman doesnโ€™t take the law seriously? He thinks the FBI gives him access to things other people canโ€™t, as if law and order were an exclusive membership card to an elite club.

The U.S. men's hockey team reveals why men in America are failing at a spectacular rate.

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. ๐Ÿงต
