America must put an end to this gross abuse of power. Blanche must be held accountable for this blatant prosecutorial misconduct & complicit DOJ officials held in contempt.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has again charged James B. Comey, the third time the Trump administration has mounted a criminal case against the former FBI director — a prominent political foe of the president — since last year.

@areyounew.bsky.social The big “if” only fellow democrats like former Speaker Pelosi & former President Obama and legacy media didn’t forced out President Biden, he could have beaten Trump. It’s the legacy media that did most of the damage when they decided Trump’s lies won the presidential debate.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social Republicans (Maga Inc.)pressing “win at all costs” in Michigan even if they win the Senate race will be a Pyrrhic victory. Alienating the US Muslim community here and abroad that will have far reaching political consequences in the future. Fortunately Abdul is going to win.

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

We can protect Social Security, get people healthcare, and keep more of what we earn. I owe nothing to the billionaires or Trump. I owe everything to the people of Maine. That's what's in my heart.

🚨 BOOM! THE HOUSE MAJORITY IS ABOUT TO FLIP. 66 of the 81 most competitive races are in Trump-won territory. This election will come down to turnout. Show up. Bring people with you. VOTE. 💙🌊 #VoteEarly #VoteBlue2026

I was proud to help pass universal school meals in the Maine Legislature. But feeding our kids takes more than passing a law. Hardworking farmers like those at Milkhouse Farms, who produce high-quality milk for families across Maine, are the ones putting in the work.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Dems "are signaling that the deployment of all kinds of tactics against such persecutions is on the table. Employing aggressive oversight, a Democratic House could subpoena all communications between Trump, the White House, DOJ, and the Department of Homeland Security about the targeting of Omar."

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Working Americans around the country are having to choose between getting groceries or filling up a tank of gas — all thanks to Trump. But what is he focused on? Finding new schemes to evade taxes on his billions. Despicable.

Is just racism. That’s all they’ve got.

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

Zelensky is the most popular foreign leader in the United States; his 53 percent approval rating is far higher than Trump’s. So insulting Zelensky, as Trump does with distressing regularity, isn’t a smart strategy for reversing the president’s crumbling popularity. wapo.st/4zQY9Si
