Has anyone heard what #Maine is doing? #MEpolitics

Since some of the elections today may need a second round of counting for a final determination, here is the link for information about that process: www.maine.gov/sos/election... #MEpolitics

This is only one of several posts about how the changes to the Affordable Care Act is, and will be, affecting Maine enrollees. Over $150 per month increase for premiums; about $100 in out-of-pocket expenses. It's easy to see where this is headed... #MEPolitics

@charlesgaba.com has been posting these regularly; today was Maine’s turn. #MEpolitics

Wow! This is a massive undertaking. #MEpolitics

If it matters to the Platner people in Maine, the country is watching and not liking what they see. Do better on Tuesday. #MEpolitics

The “suddenly, magically” modifiers are so accurate. #MEpolitics

As a comment on yet another Platner news story, someone wrote, “… he is the one we’ve been waiting for …”. The sole redeeming factor is that the person did not capitalize he or one. #MEpolitics

We saw the same thing in 2016 (then 2020, then 2024) when Felon47 came down the golden escalator. #MEpolitics

Is this really who #Maine wants as its senator?

The wagons are circling around Platner again. Will he ever go away? #MEpolitics

Excellent point. #MEpolitics

One of my first posts about Platner, 7 months ago.

But wait, there's more. #MEpolitics I looked at his most recent FEC filings and thought many of the donations seemed odd, but I was more focused on the sheer number of large donations from out-of-state.

If Maine Democrats (and unenrolled voters who chose that ballot) who used an Absentee Ballot want to try re-voting in light of today's Platner revelations, call or visit your Town Clerk's Office. Many towns have already begun processing those ballots, but not all. www.maine.gov/sos/election...

The Advisory Council had posted a Kickoff Survey with a short timeline for responses, but the PowerPoint indicates that it will be open for another week (scroll way down on the homepage). Readers here could take the opportunity to respond. #MEpolitics 2/2

The Maine Data Center Advisory Council met on Wednesday. Below is a list of the membership (lots of high-ranking execs, no citizen reps as best I can tell). The Council's webpage: www.maine.gov/energy/datac... #MEpolitics 1/2

"The worst of the rumors we’ve all heard are not true." What "rumors"? If he wins the primary, he should be thinking reaching out to those of us he has turned off. Is this type of quote supposed to make us feel better or do we not matter? #MEpolitics

If the #Maine media had been asking these questions over the last few months, we wouldn’t have to go to right-wing sites for answers. #MEpolitics He’s not qualified in any way, shape, or manner.

Poor MCNase, all they’ve got is name-calling.

I recognize that The Maine Wire is persona non grata here, but you might be interested the piece they published about GOP Gubernatorial front-runner Bobby Charles anyway. #MEpolitics

Maine Democrats still have a chance to make the right decision on June 9. #MEpolitics

The Free Press leans right, but does that make it inherently wrong? You decide, #MEpolitics

Remember when Collins freaked out over @andrealaflamme.bsky.social chalking the sidewalk outside her home? #MEpolitics

My goodness, experience, expertise, and background matter? I had no idea. /s #MEpolitics

Experience and progressive enthusiasm should matter. #MEpolitics @andrealaflamme.bsky.social

GP and team must be focused on something else, eh? #MEpolitics

Hypothetical: if Platner does not win the primary or withdraws, will his people support the nominee? #MEpolitics

There's a citizen Kickoff Survey due in 2 hours: www.maine.gov/energy/datac...

I don’t believe “GP is not as bad as Trump” will be a winning message for #Maine Democrats and yet I regularly see arguments to that effect. We’ll see. #MEpolitics

I am disappointed (but not surprised) at the number of Maine Democrats who appear unable to admit they backed the wrong horse even though there’s still time for most* to do the right thing: rank LaFlamme, Costello, and Mills but not GP. #MEpolitics *Absentee ballots notwithstanding

I had asked if GP attended his Portland rally today. He did but it apparently did not go very well. Yes, I know it's the Maine Wire, so if anyone has a different respective, feel free to share. #MEpolitics

Just saying: I find following threads/chats/comments on @bsky.app challenging. I very often have no idea what comment (usually) someone is responding to.

Does anyone know if Mills would even be willing to be the nominee? #MEpolitics

If Maine Democratic voters hadn’t latched onto the #beard/henley/boat mystique without knowing anything about the guy, we wouldn’t be in this mess. #MEpolitics

Unwanted sexting is a form of sexual harassment. Do GP's supporters really want to send yet another such perpetrator to DC? From what I'm reading, it appears they do. #MEpolitics #MeToo #Shame

Make sure you bookmark this, #MEpolitics Support @lawfaremedia.org, too

I had missed this: Platner's DD214 (with redactions) form from the Marines with a separation date of 2008 (3 years, 8 months). #MEpolitics

@asfried.bsky.social You might know: has Platner always been registered as a Democrat?

Most recent FEC filing from Platner shows most contributions are from out of state. #MEpolitics

Rank first, #MEpolitics.

Count on Collins to highlight this: the second highest amount of earmarks ($331.49) per capita #MEpolitics Source: www.cagw.org

Had I been on Sanders’ PR team, this would not have been my choice of location for a photo. #MEpolitics #HandmaidsTale

As we know, experience does not matter any longer (although I had hoped it was just MAGA).

Study group for Wellness and Mental Health Resources for [Maine] Heritage Industries (agriculture, fishing, forestry and logging). #MEpolitics I don't see a notice sign up yet.

Good news, although not surprising given DoJ's history in these suits. #MEpolitics

This is who we should be supporting for actual progressive policies, #MEpolitics

It's actually worse than I realized. GP in 2019 (while setting up the Maine oyster farm) said this (you can read it for yourself) about a video in which a soldier is shot while drawing fire away from others: www.foxnews.com/politics/pla... Why do his groupies keep excusing him? #MEpolitics
