I really hope that group in Maine follows through and donates to her opponent in 2020. She needs to go. She is most definitely a (I get to use this word twice in a day) FUGHESI

20. Great piece in the NYT. Includes Maggie as co-author. Do we trust her or not?

Maybe I'm mixing up my opinion sources (vs. "news" sources). I thought Maggie was just a voice of the establishment.

Given all the sources and all the opinions that fluctuate over time and place, I think we need an app to tell us who to believe - right now.
