Trump was asked about Iran tonight, and if he had any message to the families of the service members who were killed.
He ignored those questions, and instead commented on new statues that he has installed in the rose garden.

Grateful to @newrepublic.com who asked for my immediate thoughts in Trumpβs attack on Iran.
In short, the demand for nuclear weapons is about to go way up. If you do not have nuclear weapons, you are vulnerable.

This war must end. Our Senators and Congressman must not know a momentβs peace until this ends.
The bombing of Iran will not in the slightest improve the lives of a single American.

Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran.
She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.

A headline from NBC News: Unions privately urge Chuck Schumer and Democratic leaders to stay out of Maine's Senate primary Subheadline: At least three pro-Graham Platner unions are pushing Democratic leaders to stop supporting Gov. Janet Mills in the competitive Senate race.
βUnion leaders in recent days have urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to end their support for Gov. Janet Mills in Maineβs Senate primary, pointing to what they see as her weaker record with labor.β

If the national Democratic Party represented the people in it, it would look a hell of a lot different. Here in Maine, we are organizing a party by working people, for working people.
