Unions To Schumer: Stay Neutral In Maine Race

 


Several union leaders have reached out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to urge him to withdraw his support for Maine Gov. Janet Mills' run for the Maine Senate seat against meek Trump supporter Sen. Susan Collins.  The unions -- including the United Auto Workers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Machinist Union -- say that Graham Platner, who's ahead of Mills in the polls, is more pro-union than Mills, and more electable.  From NBC News:

"Union 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 Maine’s Senate primary, pointing to what they see as her weaker record with labor.

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain had a conversation with Schumer this month to discuss the race, among other topics, two people familiar with the call told NBC News. The UAW is supporting Mills’ opponent, Democrat Graham Platner, while Schumer and the DSCC are supporting Mills. [snip]

The Maine race is perhaps Democrats’ best opportunity to flip a Republican-held Senate seat this fall, and it’s a must-win for them to have any chance of taking over the chamber. While the national Democratic establishment has thrown its support behind Mills, labor’s push highlights some of the base’s discontent with that decision — and the resiliency of Platner, who has weathered controversies.

Platner announced his candidacy in August, and Mills jumped in two months later, sparking a primary that embodies Democrats’ generational and ideological divides."  [snip]

A University of New Hampshire poll conducted in mid-February found Platner with a 38-point lead over Mills among likely Democratic primary voters, well beyond the survey’s margin of error. The Mills campaign disputed the survey in a memo, pointing to other recent misses the survey had in Maine and arguing that the sample, which skewed much younger than past Maine electorates, did not accurately reflect the state." (our emphasis)

Platner also has the endorsements of progressive stalwarts Sens. Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Sheldon Whitehouse.  Platner has weathered a controversy over a tattoo that he had removed that contained a symbol associated with Nazis, which he's said he had no idea about. Interestingly much of his extended family is Jewish.  Platner, 41, is a veteran of the Marine Corps and is an oysterman and harbor master by profession. He would seem to be the ideal Dem candidate: Iraq war veteran, union-backed progressive, small business owner, and a generational symbol contrasting with the plodding, ossified Dem leadership exemplified by Chuck Schumer et al.  It's no surprise that fumbling Schumer's support for Mills runs counter to that, and to the polls.

Weekend Music

 

American musical icon Johnny Cash was born on February 26 in 1932.  "The Man in Black," as he was known, wrote and performed music spanning rockabilly, country, gospel, blues, and folk genres (he's in the Rock and Roll, Country, and Gospel halls of fame).  We're featuring two belated birthday songs from his early days recording at Sun Records:  1956's "I Walk The Line" (his first #1 hit and signature song) and 1958's "Guess Things Happen That Way."  Hope you enjoy.

Embassy Staff Warned To Leave Israel

 

As tensions increase following the end of negotiations between Iran and inept, craven U.S. negotiators Steve "Witless" Witkoff and the Malignant Fascist's corrupt son-in-law Jared Kushner, the U.S. embassy in Israel has urged its staff to consider leaving as an attack on Iran appears likely.  From NBC News:

"The United States on Friday told some embassy staff that they could leave Israel — and that those who want to must do so quickly — as fears of an American attack on Iran fueled alarm throughout the region.

The message, conveyed in an email from Ambassador Mike Huckabee that was sent to the U.S. mission, instructed those wishing to leave to 'do so TODAY.' NBC News has seen the email, which was first reported by The New York Times.

The guidance was issued out of 'an abundance of caution' after meetings and calls through the night, including conversations with the State Department, Huckabee said in the email.

'There is no need to panic,' the email read. 'For those desiring to leave, it’s important to make plans to depart sooner rather than later.'

He also urged anyone intending to leave to go ahead and book flights, citing the likely surge in demand out of Israel after the embassy's move." (our emphasis)

If war with Iran were to break out, Israel would be immediate targets of Iran's weapons and its surrogate forces in the region.  The MF's threats against Iran, backed up by a massive shift of arms and personnel to the region, come as he has yet to explain the goal for a war, particularly after he bragged about having totally destroyed their nuclear facilities last year.  The MF's regime likely sees the widespread unrest in Iran in the past months as a sign that regime change might be possible.  One can't discount the fact that the chaotic bluster from the MF would to be a distraction from his problems at home: growing interest in the Epstein - Trump files and his 38,000+ mentions, his failed tariffs, his dropping poll numbers, etc.  We'll see whether Huckabee's "no need to panic" is based in reality or not.

 

 

Trumpist Takeover Of CNN Looks Like A Go



Get ready for the CBS/Fox-ification of CNN:

Netflix is declining to raise its offer to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming business, in a stunning move that effectively puts Paramount in a position to take over the fellow storied Hollywood giant.

On Thursday, after Warner’s board announced that Skydance-owned Paramount’s offer was superior to the agreement it had previously struck with Netflix, the streaming giant said the new price that would be required to buy Warner would make it a deal that is “no longer financially attractive.”

Unlike Netflix’s bid, Paramount wants all of Warner’s operations, including networks like CNN and Discovery. That would put CNN under the same roof as Paramount’s CBS and combine two of Hollywood’s last five remaining studios.

The owner of HBO Max, DC Studios and popular titles like “Harry Potter” had backed Netflix’s proposal for months. But after Skydance-owned Paramount upped its rival bid for the entire company to $31 per share, in addition to other revisions, Warner’s board on Thursday said that the offer “constitutes a ‘company superior proposal.’”

A Paramount buyout Warner’s business would vastly reshape Hollywood and the wider media landscape. Paramount’s CBS has seen significant editorial shifts, notably with the installation of Free Press founder Bari Weiss at CBS News, under new Skydance ownership. And if Paramount’s acquisition of Warner is successful, many expect the reach of those changes to only grow.   [snip]

... Paramount is taking on billions of dollars in debt to finance its offer. And David Ellison’s father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, is heavily backing the bid for his son’s company. Foreign sovereign wealth funds have also provided equity for the offer, drawing scrutiny.

The Ellisons also have a close relationship with President Donald Trump — bringing more politics into question. Trump previously made unprecedented suggestions about his involvement in seeing a deal through, before walking back those statements and maintaining that regulatory approval will be up to the Justice Department... (our emphasis)

The Malignant Fascist's DOJ will provide approval faster than you can say "corrupt."  The involvement of "foreign sovereign wealth funds" -- Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar -- will also ensure that no media  (news, movies, etc.) will be produced or aired that's critical of the Malignant Fascist's corrupt authoritarian Middle Eastern pals in the future.

Our democracy is hanging by a thread.  The ongoing media mega-consolidations around right-wing oligarchs absolutely needs to be challenged now, but if that's unsuccessful, rolled back if and when Democrats regain power in this country.

QOTD -- A Failed Presidency

 

"... On Tuesday, Trump gave his State of the Union address. 'What a difference a president makes,' he said. Trump believes he is popular, strong and successful. The truth says otherwise. Trump is as unpopular as he’s ever been. His approval in high-quality surveys from CNN, the American Research Group and Reuters hovers between 36 percent and 40 percent. His disapproval rating reaches as high as 60 percent. Even the most skilled presidents would struggle to recover from this kind of collapse. We can safely assume that, for Trump, things will only get worse.  [snip]

"What Trump has, a little more than one year into his second term, is a failed presidency: one that has crashed on the rocks of his ambition to supplant constitutional government with that of his own will. Yes, Trump has done a tremendous amount of damage. And yes, he has degraded American democracy to the point where it is on life support. But he’s failed to make himself a dictator, and the public is poised to punish his party for his transgressions.

"Unfortunately, that will be the easy part. It’s what comes after that that will test our ability to make the union whole again." -- Jamelle Bouie, NYT, on "What Hath Trump Wrought."  This excerpt is the conclusion of his op/ed, which deserves a full reading (free link).  Bouie covers the assault on the rights and liberties undertaken by the Malignant Fascist and his toadies -- with help from a spineless MAGAt Republican party/ cult and a corrupt Republican Supreme Court -- that Americans are well on the way to deciding wasn't what they wanted or expected, and are voting accordingly.


Agents In Trump Classified Docs Case Fired


The Associated Press is reporting that the FBI has fired additional agents who worked on the stolen classified documents case against the corrupt and lawless Malignant Fascist.  The retribution carried out is just the latest attempt to purge the FBI and Justice Department of anyone connected with the classified documents case or the January 6 insurrection cases against hundreds of rabid and violent supporters of the MF.  From the AP's report:

"The FBI has fired additional agents who worked on an investigation into President Donald Trump, this time terminating employees who participated in the probe into the Republican’s hoarding of classified documents, people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

The firings are part of a broader personnel purge under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, a Trump appointee who, over the last year, has pushed out dozens of employees who either contributed to investigations of the president or who were perceived as not in alignment with the administration’s agenda. The Justice Department has engaged in similarly sweeping firings of prosecutors since Trump took office last year. [snip]

The latest round of terminations included employees who helped investigate Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, a case that involved a high-profile FBI search of the Florida property and resulted in a federal prosecution charging the now-president with holding onto top-secret records from his first term in office and obstructing government efforts to get them back.

The firings were confirmed to The Associated Press by multiple people familiar with the matter who spoke on anonymity because they could not publicly discuss the personnel moves. Several of the people said a total of 10 employees were fired, and one said at least 10 were fired." (our emphasis)

The report comes days after Trump cultist FBI Director and bug eyed jack hole Kashyap "Kash" Patel returned from the Winter Olympics after politicizing the U.S. Men's Hockey Team by selfishly crashing their victory celebration, chugging beer, and phoning the MF to get his misogynist two cents on the women's hockey team. 

In addition, reports of missing FBI files that discuss accusations against the MF in the Epstein - Trump files were made as he partied, and he has yet to justify his private use of the FBI's Gulfstream jet to go to the Games or elsewhere, after hypocritically slamming former FBI Director Christopher Wray for using the jet for his personal business.  He needs to be near the top of the list of the MF's lackeys that should be impeached.

Blind Man Abandoned In Cold By Border Patrol Found Dead

 


Is this the America we want?  It sure is the America we've got:

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead.

City Hall spokesperson Ian Ott said Shah Alam, 56, was found by B District officers after they responded to a call for a dead body on the first block of Perry Street shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“Mr. Shah Alam was identified by the Erie County Medical Examiner earlier today and his family was subsequently notified,” Ott said in a statement.

Homicide detectives, Ott said, “are investigating the circumstances and timeframe of events leading up to his death, following his release from custody.”

“I’m devastated, and I’m very frustrated,” said Imran Fazel, an advocate for Rohingya refugees who knows the family. “We never thought anyone would experience anything like this since coming to the United States. It doesn’t make me feel safe in a country like this.”

Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee, had been missing since February 19. He was released that afternoon from custody at the Erie County Holding Center after posting bail. In response to an immigration detainer that had been placed on him, the Erie County Sheriff’s Office contacted U.S. Border Patrol prior to his release, according to spokesperson Christopher Horvatits.

Benjamin Macaluso, a Legal Aid Bureau attorney representing Shah Alam, said Border Patrol agents picked him up at the Holding Center at 4:39 p.m. Thursday.

Shah Alam was released on bail, Macaluso said, after he had agreed to a plea deal with the Erie County District Attorney’s office. Shah Alam’s guilty plea to charges of trespassing and possession of a weapon — a curtain rod he used as a walking stick allowed him to “clear” the detainer and avoid detention by ICE or another immigration agency, Macaluso said.

After taking custody of Shah Alam, Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a Tim Hortons on Niagara Street in the Black Rock neighborhood, Macaluso said, shortly after 8 p.m. Shah Alam and his family live in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood on the East Side, according to Fazal.

Neither he nor Shah Alam’s family were notified of his release. Macaluso previously told Investigative Post he expected Shah Alam to be taken to the ICE detention center in Batavia and that his client would be released from there.

Instead, Macaluso and Shah Alam’s family spent Friday through Sunday searching for him. Macaluso opened a missing persons case with Buffalo police on Sunday, he said. 

As Investigative Post reported Tuesday, Special Victims Unit detective Richard Hy closed the case for several hours Monday in the mistaken belief Shah Alam was in custody at ICE’s detention facility in Batavia. The case was subsequently reopened.

Michael Niezgoda, a spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of Border Patrol, did not immediately respond Wednesday to an inquiry from Investigative Post. Kara Kane, a spokesperson for the Erie County Medical Examiner, declined to release information about Shah Alam’s cause of death.

Shah Alam had been in the Erie County Holding Center since February 2025 after being arrested by Buffalo police. On February 15 last year, he had been out for a walk in his neighborhood and had been using a curtain rod he purchased as a walking stick.

Nearly blind and with no ability to speak English, Shah Alam got lost and ended up on the porch of a woman’s home as she was letting her dog out, according to Macaluso. Shah Alam is completely blind in one eye and can only see with blurry vision for several feet in the other, according to Macaluso.

The woman called police, Macaluso said. When Shah Alam did not follow police commands to drop his curtain rod, they Tasered and beat him, then arrested him, Macaluso said. The officers suffered minor injuries in the scuffle, he said.

Shah Alam was charged with offenses including assault, trespassing and possession of a weapon. Macaluso said Shah Alam’s family opted to not bail him out of the Holding Center for fear he would end up detained by ICE out of state.

The plea deal reached recently allowed Shah Alam to be released on bail without ICE detention, Macaluso said.

Shah Alam’s death comes just 15 months after his arrival in Buffalo in December 2024. He is survived by his wife and two sons.

Was it his color?  Was it his inability to speak English?  Was it his name or religion?  Was it his disability?  What single factor or combination led these psychopathic Trump goons to decide to abandon him in the cold in a neighborhood 5 miles away from his home?  In their tiny, lizard brains did they think it was a joke, or was the intent purely malicious? 

Rep. Tim Kennedy (D-NY) is calling for "a full and transparent investigation at the local, state, and federal levels. The public and Mr. Alam’s family deserve answers immediately.”  We await with bated breath news of the prosecution of those Border Patrol thugs that were responsible for this inhumane act of depraved indifference, just as we await news of the prosecution of the murderers of Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and the other victims (known and unknown) of the Malignant Fascist's domestic terrorist organization.
