Retired cardiologist. Fervent supporter of American democracy. A Mainer x 47 years.
We can conclude from statements to the press by Tom Homan, who runs ICE: “Stephen Miller is the architect. Tom Homan is the enforcer. And Markwayne Mullin, like Kristi Noem before him, is just the yes man.”
Katie Couric re: Trump’s response to 3 new military deaths from Iranian drone: “President Donald Trump said that the deaths were “a very sad thing,” adding: “We hate to see it happen. It’s in service to our country.” I guess Trump regrets missing Viet Nam because of his suddenly sore feet.
the US of munitions reserves. This is the work of a totally reckless & careless President who can only see the issue before him & can’t anticipate the consequences. In short, Trump is a selfish short sighted idiot, granted by SCOTUS near total power over our country. This must change. 86-47.
HCRichardson: “Trump tied American journalists to this alleged plot (turning the US into a Communist state) claiming the Chinese government was paying journalists to write negatively about him.” Sorry Donald: no payment needed.
alliances would excel at managing the most complicated crises…The fact that he was trusted more than his opponent on foreign policy says far more about the success of his political mythology than it does about his actual competence…the reality of Donald’s foreign policy has been catastrophic.”
Trump befouled the TV airwaves last night with lies upon lives, alleging the oft proven security of elections, which the Constitution assigns the States to run. “American democracy is acutely endangered by a sociopath who will stop at nothing to get the results he wants.”RReich
Any American with a brain knows that MAGA is terrible for America.HCRichardson: “Republicans are..trying to maneuver around the Democrats to fund priorities the Dems reject: an immigration enforcement surge that has led to two deaths at the hands of ICE agents in the past week, and the war in Iran.”
Watching Todd Blanch’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I wish a Senator would ask him “Why did you interview incarcerated Epstein cohort Ghislaine Maxwell & thereafter arrange her transfer to a minimum security facility?”
Re: The Murder by ICE of the young LEGAL immigrant driving to work in Biddeford, ME. There was NO reason to stop him but his Hispanic appearance. ICE executed him behind the wheel. A reminder: “Collins voted just last month to give ICE another $70 billion.” No insistence on training or competency.
the reflecting pool, every American is at risk and every American should be alarmed at this prosecution.” How about charging Trump with deliberate damage to reflecting pool! Let’s get serious!
HCRichardson: “Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker…reposted Trump’s reference to the Islamic Republic of Japan with the comment: “Donald Trump is suffering from dementia. Someone needs to step in before it’s too late.”
These are areas where democratic institutions should guarantee fairness rather than leaving everything to the marketplace.” These are social needs that Sen. Bernie Sanders has been advocating. For the people, not the billionaires. Medicare for all. Childcare. Higher education. A Great Society.
within the scope of the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.” The government’s refusal to release the properly redacted files (girls’ names, not sexual predators’) strongly suggests that Trump is a prominent name in the files. No more diversions! Time for the dog to wag the tail.
a white nationalist hate group founded after Charlottesville. These are Trumpers. Filled with hatred & prejudice. Violent 1/6ers. The worst products of bigotry & Nazi ideology. There is no place in this country for scum like these creatures.
Words of our President in Medora, ND:”“They didn’t have people that didn’t couldn’t they had no idea where they were. They didn’t have people that couldn’t walk up the steps. See those steps? They didn’t have people that had no idea where the hell they were.”At a Park to remember TR. Trump: a sicko.
14th Amendment to the US Constitution: ““All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside,” In opposing birthright citizenship, Alito, Thomas, & Gorsuch obviously can’t read.
Trump was not an innocent bystander on 1/6. He instigated the insurrection, he planned the threat to Pence’s life, he arranged financing to bring & house goons from far away, & then sat back & watched it all happen on TV. “They aren’t here to hurt me” said the instigator.
Trump:”“Why is it we only take people from shithole countries” like “Haiti [and] Somalia”? “Why cannot we have some people from Norway [and] Sweden?” This, spoken by a President of the United States. Shameful.& disgusting. Pure Trump.
that embraces white nationalism while those Americans standing firm on the nation’s historic democratic principles jockey to create a political system that will represent their movement.”
SCOTUS (led by Alito) shamefully removed protections for immigrants granted Temporary Protected Status (Trump term: “shithole countries”, ie.nonwhite immigrants). Dred Scott reborn.
Mary Trump: “Donald embodies one very simple truth. It is infinitely easier to destroy things than it is to create them. Unfortunately for all of us, destruction has become the defining feature of his presidency.”
This document came out of an ACLU court filing. It is blatant evidence of Trump’s blatant prejudices & tyranical behavior. He must go.
The Hill: Trump wants Republicans to nix the filibuster. I disagree, but it needs fixing: -Make the filibuster continuous speaking requred -40%+ members present required to sustain
More than a million people dropped their Affordable Care Act coverage this year after Congress let subsidies expire. Think about that. Local hospitals have closed. Need medical care? No nearby healthcare facilities? Call 911 & transport to large hospital 60-120 min away. A DISGRACE.
than before Trump started bombing. The costs to the world have been significantly higher in terms both of lives—beginning with more than 175 Iranian schoolchildren and their teachers—and of economies.” Trump uses his gut, not his “brain”, to bully other countries. He is a loser. Completely.
& on the economy, immigration, the Epstein files, the slush fund, IRS immunity, DOGE cuts, measles epidemics, AI data centers, and Billion Dollar Ballroom all matter—because they will produce a wave election in November. And a wave election is a strong defense to Trump’s efforts to cheat.”
HCRichardson:”Today Elon Musk, who poured more than $290 million into the 2024 election to elect Trump and other Republicans, became the world’s first trillionaire—on paper, at least—when shares of his rocket company SpaceX were offered to the public.” THIS IS WHY CITIZENS UNITED MUST BE REVERSED!
