Corporate landowners are spraying glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, all over Maine's woodlands. We're told it's safe. They used to tell us DDT and PFAS were safe, too. If the corporate landowners wouldn't drink this, why the hell are they making us drink it? #mepolitics

🗳️ Texas showed up. Turnout was strong this primary — proof that participation shapes elections. Some races head to a May 26 runoff. In Texas, if no one clears 50%, the top two advance. Runoffs are often decided by far fewer voters. Democracy continues. #TXVotes

It’s literally in the constitution — the government’s responsibility is to “promote the general welfare” of its citizens. No money for social programs (that save people’s lives) — just for the military that he and his family are profiting from — Wild times.

🚨| ¡Cállate, cállate, cerdita! Así estalló el presidente. Donald Trump perdió los estribos e insultó a una periodista que se atrevió a preguntarle sobre los documentos del caso Epstein. El incidente ocurrió durante una conversación del mandatario con reporteros a bordo del avión presidencial
