I was going to start a thread about what I saw on Rachel Maddow but basically I wanted to say I'm not sure when Maine will have a Democratic nominee but I will hope the next one works to reign Trump in instead of the ways Susan Collins failed and capitulated to Trump on key votes. I would also like to see the next nominee address problems like this and work on solutions to solving them.

I do support abolishing ICE and that is actually a mainstream position according to polling. Glad to see here that Jackson supports it.

I will also do my K&R for this thread here.
