Update from Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson on the Maine Senate race.

[Arielle Kane @ariellesophia]

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?

Who could have imagined that dismantling and defunding Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act would cause inflation to rise?

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

In America, decisions about what is legal and illegal are made by courts of law. Not by the Vice President.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending:

-Universal healthcare saves $650B

-Gun safety laws save $557B

-Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B

-Funding the IRS saves $124B

But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.

All you had to do was vote for the Black Woman and her midwestern dad running mate.

That’s it.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

To be abundantly clear: we did not change the rigorous standard for becoming a certified air traffic controller. Those claiming otherwise are mistaken or lying.
We did increase funding & training, and grew the ATC workforce after years of declining numbers, including under Trump.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

I understand that this is an unpopular opinion on the American left but I actually prefer the liberals to the fascists.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

2020: attacks on “BLM”
2022: attacks on “CRT”
2024: attacks on “woke”
2025: attacks on “DEI”

BLACK.

THEY MEAN BLACK.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time.

DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.

They really can’t be any clearer

[Stagatha Christie @STAGathaC]

Trump likes to test run ideas he’s serious about as “jokes.” He’s being doing that for years with the idea of violating the 22nd Amendment and running for a third term.

As a result, this is totally (if tragically) predictable: https://t.co/rr6C7NJx8K

Because kids learn better when they’re not hungry.

And we all benefit from a well-educated populace.

And we’re not all cunts.

Found this in Reddit seems like it might be useful for some people.

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man.

The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.
