AP — Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the Army reservist who would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state’s history. https://apnews.com/article/4d5066230b500c152a7dd0d3e4d13f1b
Police were alerted last month about Maine shooter’s threats

Police across Maine were alerted weeks ago about “veiled threats” by the man who authorities say would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state’s history. Two local law enforcement chiefs told The Associated Press that a statewide alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Army reservist Robert Card because of threats he made against his base and fellow soldiers. But after stepped-up patrols of the base and a welfare check to Card’s home – neither of which turned up any sign of him – they moved on. Said Saco police chief Jack Clements: "We never got anything.”

Rep. Shontel BrownOct 25, 2023
House Republicans have elected a MAGA extremist as Speaker. His support for an abortion ban, cuts to Social Security & Medicare, opposition to marriage equality and election denial are deeply alarming.

If that is the House agenda, I will fight it every step of the way.

The country wants us to move forward responsibly. It is time for the GOP to abandon extremism and work with us to serve the people.

Best way to protect a Dem presidential win in ‘24 would be to retake the House and have Jeffries preside over the certification.
