Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

They hid or downplayed the seriousness of multiple health-relatee absences during his first term, so it's impossible to know. Like the week in 2017 when nobody saw him. Or in 2020 when he had COVID, they lied about how severe his case was, and we didn't learn until after he was out of office.
