My MAGA neighbor five minutes ago: “I just read that tariffs are going to raise prices for stuff. I don’t get it. I thought China was going to pay them.”
I explained how tariffs work. I wish you could see the look on the guy’s face when it sunk in.
So much ignorance out there.

All 3 (?) Maine politics columnists have now turned on Susan Collins.
Kerr's been backing her since '96 but writes:
"The senator's habit of declaring herself 'concerned' or 'troubled' by actions of the Trump Administration she previously authorized has become a running joke."

Here’s my prediction:
🏛️ HOUSE: Democrats will pick up roughly 20 to 25 seats — potentially a 45 seat advantage over Republicans (240-195).
🏛️ SENATE: Democrats will pick up 4 to 5 seats — enough for a 51 or 53 seat majority.
But forecasts don’t vote. YOU DO.
Show up. Bring someone with you. VOTE BLUE and finish the job. 🌊

Just spoke with the son of one of my neighbors in Orlando. The guy is in his late 30’s. He’s a lifelong Republican who voted for Trump three times, but he told me he’s not voting Republican this time.
Asked him why. His reply: “They all lie, and they’re corrupt as fuck.”

Democrats are going ALL IN for the final stretch. Vote. Volunteer. Finish the job. 🌊

Retired Republican County Judge Glen Whitley endorses James Talarico for US Senate:
“I’m ashamed that Ken Paxton is even on the ballot. He’s the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”

This is a change election.
The only way we’re going to get out of the mess we’re in is by taking back the U.S. Senate and House and holding Donald Trump accountable.
This moment is much bigger than me or any one person. I’m proud to be part of the fight for what comes next.

Pope Leo. There is a reason why Catholics are dropping their support for Trump and MAGA.
From the Holy See Press Office: "Pope Leo XIV has exercised his right to vote as a United States citizen, whenever he was eligible to do so. The Holy See Press Office confirms that in keeping with this long-standing practice of civic participation, he has submitted his mail-in ballot in Chicago. The Holy Father has also confirmed that, during his years of residence in Peru he exercised his right to vote whenever he was eligible to do so. The Holy Father expresses his belief in the right and the duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes."
🚨 HOLY SH*T — MICHIGAN JUST ERUPTED.

Republicans in Kansas and Iowa are scrambling to keep Donald Trump as far away from their states as possible.
But he insists on skunking up the place.
This guy is toxic in farm country and throughout America.
VOTE.

"I can’t imagine how that ad passed vetting in the Susan Collins campaign. That line making fun of his working class roots, that line is what’s gonna stick and it may be that line that beats her ... Women can’t deliver babies very industry in rural Maine now thanks to Susan Collins ... I cannot believe how tone deaf and stupid that was."
