Used to fancy myself an independent, but realize I cannot afford to think that way. I'm blue. I did not vote for him in 2016, not in 2020 not 2024 either. I believe that our country is headed in the wrong direction and it makes me sad.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Mike Johnson says Republicans want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, calling them “entitlements” that need to be fixed. Of course, they plan to do it after next year’s midterm elections.
