Write to Angus |

I just got home from work. It’s late.
I still took 5 minutes to write Angus King and ask him and his colleagues to grow a spine and rethink their agreement to reopen the govt. You can too!

Mainers! Call Senator King to let him know how angry we are at his decision to cave to the Republicans in exchange for nothing meaningful. Washington voice mail box is full. Call Portland to get through 207-622-8292.

He’s made his money, has his healthcare and will
be campaigning for his kid soon. What does he care? He’s seen Collins abuse us for years and knows we won’t push back.
We’re “political domestic abuse victims”.

Call now! Washington voice mail box is full. Call Portland to get through 207-622-8292.

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Thank you to Judge John McConnell and Judge Indira Talwani For Ruling Against Chump,
And For Funding SNAP.......

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

Another shutdown consequence: Democrats can’t visit ICE detention facilities Democratic lawmakers had been suing the Trump administration over their previous attempts to visit ICE facilities.

NEW: ICE says it no longer has to provide Congress access to detention facilities — thanks to the shutdown.

That requirement was part of the appropriations law that expired last month — and now operations are funded by Trump’s megabill.

Read that last sentence again. A judge to a Border Patrol leader.

If you're a praying person, please pray for my country. The trajectory and strength looks horrific.

BREAKING 🚨 42 million Americans are about to lose food assistance because Donald Trump is withholding funding for SNAP.

They’re letting families go hungry while sending $40 billion to Argentina.

A Maine Democratic Senate Primary Worth Having A Mills vs. Platner primary will be a proving ground and give voters a real say in their effort to beat Susan Collins.

SNAP is What Jesus Would Be Doing. That's Why MAGA Christians Are Trying to Kill It. The sin of cruelty toward the hungry

SNAP is one of the most effective tools we have to fight hunger, and the Administration’s neglect means parents skipping meals, kids going to school hungry, and seniors choosing between groceries and medicine.

This manufactured crisis is entirely preventable. (3/3)

Still, this is a band aid for a much larger crisis.

SNAP supports 170,000 Mainers, and the Trump Administration’s refusal to fund it will push hunger to its highest level in nearly a decade.

I’ll say it again: THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP SNAP GOING. They’re just choosing not to. (2/3)

Powerful message. Vote!

As the Atlantic Ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Ahem

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve noticed something since I’ve stopped buying US made food products, not that I bought a lot before all this tariff shit, anyway, I am having less digestive issues and eating more fresh products made locally here in NS. I feel better, anyone else? #Canada

🔥👍🖕 Over a thousand South Korean protesters gathered in Seoul to voice their opposition to Donald Trump's upcoming visit for the APEC summit. #cdnpoli

This is what Republicans voted for?
