STUDY: Households headed by non-citizens use means-tested welfare programs at substantially higher rates than households headed by U.S.-born Americans in nearly every state.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday begged their donors for money to try to save Maine Sen. Susan Collins, saying that newly minted Democratic nominee Graham Platner is a threat and that Collins will go down without GOP donors’ monetary support. Read more here: dailykos.com/stories/2026/6/…

So here’s some insider baseball on Platner’s stuff. I knew about the Fifield abuse allegations last October when I was in Maine. I didn’t know who it was or the extend of it. All I knew is that he got violent with an ex and she was a Republican, I hinted at them here several times, saying that Mills campaign was trying to get her on the record but she, a couple of other women, didn’t want to talk. Mills campaign knew Fifield was a Republican and that she and others were holding on to their story until it was advantageous for the GOP (1)

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

Graham lives in Maine where state law allows him to coerce, threaten and intimidate all the women he's ever impregnated to kill his babies so he isn't "saddled with kids" So this is a lie. His precious "abortion rights" are safe so he can stay childless and full of rage at women

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Thank you to over 150,000 Mainers for your support. Together we will defeat Susan Collins and take back this Senate seat for the working people of Maine.
