1/ This isn't front page news, but it's important. For years, Congress has said no taxpayer money to Egypt to help them repress free speech. But Trump ignored Congress. And a disaster resulted for the Egyptian people. Soon, maybe disaster for us. apnews.com/article/rubio-egy…

Senator Collins, I think you are a little out of touch. This is about a cord of wood — and about Mainers struggling to afford to heat their homes this winter. I know what it’s like to run out of fuel. I’ve lived that struggle. That’s the experience I’ll take to the U.S. Senate. And I’ll use it to fight for working people.

The high prices crushing Americans are rooted in political decisions made in Washington. We need leaders like @TroyJackson207 in the Senate who'll fight to lower costs for Mainers. #MESEN

Elon Musk is dumping half a billion dollars into Republican races. Why? Because Democrats in Congress won’t be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump and will actually fight to lower costs.

“Our land is very important because it’s about people, it’s not about kilometres,” says President Zelensky. “A lot of people died defending this land, defending our independence, our country… All what is occupied is temporarily occupied. So nobody will recognize these territories… as Russian territories.”
