Early voting in Maine starts in about two weeks now. Today I caught a three day old post with incorrect information about how Ranked Choice Voting works. It had decent engagement but no one issued a correction on the bad info. Please, use the resource below to understand RCV. #mepolitics

Am I just sleep deprived or is this very wrong? If Mills and Platner are 1st and 2nd, then their voters don't move to a second choice. The lowest vote earner is eliminated and only their voters move to their second choice. Am I misunderstanding this scenario?

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using your primary email, but there is a very informal poll you can take on WMTW for various primaries and issues related to the midterms. Some interesting numbers already. #mepolitics

Mark your calendar. This should be interesting. www.pressherald.com/debateremind...

My name and location has a really unfortunate overlap… Happy to know that these aren’t usually referring to me…usually…but still a bit jarring! Maybe we can get Tucker Carlson out of Maine?

Another nice day so another afternoon of work down in the field. We had a lot of twine to take care of as a first step for the year. Unfortunately our area of Maine is still under severe drought status, but we move onward and do the best we can with what we have.

Political violence has no place in our country. None. We should not be seeing stories like this.

While I am disappointed in the Mills veto of the data center moratorium, I don't think people should minimize the struggles of towns like Jay around Maine either. When we deny (even temporarily) these projects, we should offer help with alternative possibilities. I wish we had more studies available

Sunny, high 50s! =============== MAINE RESISTANCE SAT APR 25, 2026 =============== #ORGANIZE #RESIST #OPPOSE #NonViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #GetInvolved MAY DAY STRONG: NATIONAL DAY of ACTION #NoWork #NoSchool #NoShopping p1/8 – REPOST & SHARE! #Maine #MEpolitics

I’m a tech guy. I have two desktops, three laptops, a server, a raspberry pi, and an arduino in my office alone. I am wildly disappointed to see this veto. Maine has enough problems with Poland Springs let alone what could happen with data centers. #mepolitics mainemorningstar.com/2026/04/24/g...

I almost missed that this was even happening. I’m not in that part of Maine but sharing for those who are. This race to replace Jared Golden with a reliable Dem is super important. #mepolitics

First “big” debate for the Maine senate race will be on 7 May. Plenty of places to watch it! Regardless of who you support, it’s a good idea to see how they all interact on the stage together. #mepolitics

After almost a year of public objections, Cumberland County will stop holding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees in its jail. mainemorningstar.com/2026/04/22/c...

Baxter State Park is one of my favorite places in the world. But its existence did not occur by happenstance. It took an individual with very strong beliefs to come into existence. Today, on Earth Day, remember that we all have a role to play in protecting the environment. And every effort matters.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

HAVE A QUESTION for David Costello, Janet Mills, or Graham Platner, candidates to be Maine's next U.S. Senator? They will debate live for the first time, May 7 at 7 p.m. and @pressherald.com is asking for your questions. Details in the brief article below. #MaineSenateRace #MEpolitics #Maine

Maine Public is releasing Candidate Profiles for the 2026 primaries. Below is their link for David Costello who is running for the Dem nomination against Susan Collins. A good number of policy answers are included. #mepolitics www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...

Sorry for the wind but wanted to share an early look at the field this year! The drought really did a number on us last year, so we hope this year is a bit better. #maine

I’m a Maine Licensed Forester: this is my lane. USFS is a global leader in research for forests, wood products, and ecology. Trump Admin are proposing to simplify abandon all of it. Colossally stupid and short-sighted. #mepolitics

It appears that there is a bit of good news today. I always wait for action rather than just words these days, but happy to see positive movement here! #mepolitics

The election in Maine is probably closer than folks realize. You can already start the process of requesting an Absentee ballot. Early voting starts 11 May. That early start is great for voting, but a bit problematic for voters who like debates as most won't be held until later. (1/2) #mepolitics

Well isn’t that disappointing… #mepolitics

Don't forget, the Wabanaki Alliance is holding a US Senate candidate forum this Thursday. David Costello will be there to continue supporting full Tribal Sovereignty efforts. It is time to correct decades of wrongs. #mepolitics It will be livestreamed More info: wabanakialliance.com/alliance-to-...

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell has SUSPENDED his run for Governor of California.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

Viktor Orban has conceded in Hungary. After 16 years, he is no longer in power. Add that to a long list of failures involving JD Vance. The future is still very uncertain, but I hope Magyar gives Hungarians a real shot at a better life. And perhaps the EU may be a bit more united as well.

Trump has ordered the Navy to entirely blockade the Strait of Hormuz. No ships allowed in or out until some unspecified future point. I'm sure a crony somewhere is going to get rich off of this news as well. Wonder where it ranks on Susan Collins' concern meter. #mepolitics

The link for the Maine US Senate debate (forum) yesterday is now available. There were quite a few questions that covered a lot of ground. Please consider watching. Especially if you haven’t heard much from David Costello. #mepolitics vimeo.com/1182357929?s...

Much like the gubernatorial event, the Maine Senate debate today was more of a forum with a lot of agreement on policy issues than a debate. Both candidates agreeing that we must hold this admin accountable for their crimes and offenses against democracy was a substantial crowd pleaser. #mepolitics

Looking forward to this afternoon’s Democratic US Senate debate in Topsham, Maine. Lot’s to discuss...

Looking forward to seeing folks at the debate in Topsham today for the US Senate primary in Maine. Having candidates get on stage and talk about their ideas for the future under a bit of pressure is vital to developing a strong democracy. It's also just generally good for sharing ideas! #mepolitics

We have splashdown! So relieved to see the crew of Artemis II—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—arrive safe and sound off the coast of San Diego. It’s been such an honor to follow their journey—and share that experience with the rest of the world. (1/2)

Already talked a bit about this today, but it really is incredible to see this admin supporting the guy who constantly supports Putin over the EU. If you haven't had the chance, strongly recommend reading Autocracy Inc. Its highly relevant to what we're seeing right now.

Outstanding news! The funding from this change will benefit a substantial number of Mainers. It’s plain common sense!

The inflation numbers today are terrible. Particularly because of Trump's war of choice against Iran. But don't worry, the admin has time to campaign for Viktor Orban! Autocrats really stick together huh? Stop the autocrats. Vote out their enablers like Susan Collins. It's time! #mepolitics

Since this war began, we’ve seen report after report of insiders placing huge, highly specific bets on military decisions and geopolitical outcomes—and banking millions. It's obscene. We deserve to know who had advance knowledge, how they got it, and whether anyone in Trump’s orbit is benefiting.

Susan Collins played games and allowed the Big Ugly Bill to pass which is decimating essential services across the country. She also believes that current Congressional stock trading laws are sufficient. She isn't here for Mainers. She is here for big money and the wealthy. Vote her out. #mepolitics

After a January enforcement surge that disrupted Maine's communities and local economies, a new poll finds most Mainers disapprove of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The survey also revealed growing support for policies that allow undocumented immigrants to stay and gain legal status.

Dang. Surveillance geeks, take note.

Trump suspends his threatened attack on Iran for two weeks pending the opening of the strait of Hormuz. The world is more unstable than ever before and it’s almost entirely because of this man and his sycophant followers. I cannot wait for Susan Collins to be replaced. #mepolitics

Unsure of what I was going to with myself after dropping my political bid, I ended up talking to the town about open committee positions a while back. Last night they confirmed my appointment to the sustainability committee. Check out your local government folks! They often need help.

Again, this is the guy Susan Collins supports 96% of the time. And this isn't a matter of her needing "courage." Collins is complicit because it serves her own goals. Not because she is somehow scared of doing the right thing. Vote her out. Vote for David Costello. #mepolitics

Maine State Dems have announced their two debates for the Senate primary: May 26th at 6PM at a location TBD in CD1 May 22nd at 6 PM in Bangor David Costello will be at both and looks forward to speaking with more voters about the critical issues we face. #mepolitics #mesen

The moderator for the upcoming debate in Topsham has completely ignored David Costello's existence. In a recent post announcing that Mills was pulling out of the debate, he again framed it as a one on one debate. Regardless of your views on Costello, he did the work to be there. #mepolitics

Many of you have now seen the news about Janet Mills pulling out of the 11 April debate in Topsham. As we've previously said, David Costello has accepted every debate and forum invite and asked for more to be organized. The event on 11 April is still on with Costello and Platner. #mepolitics

This is the guy Susan Collins votes with 96% of the time by the way. The guy she believes has every right to take unilateral military action without any real checks and balances. Susan Collins has failed Maine and the nation. We must vote her out this year.

Unlike Susan Collins, David Costello isn't afraid to answer questions in front of a room full of everyday Mainers. In fact, he believes that public debates and forums are integral to developing elected officials that actually represent the People The next debate is 11 April in Topsham! #mepolitics

I can hardly blame you if you've never read the Maine Dems Party Charter, but the convention this summer allows for changes to be made to it and the party platform. If you can't make the convention yourself, then consider asking someone else to raise your desired change. (1/) #mepolitics

You simply can't trust Susan Collins to actually vote for qualified people. She has voted with Trump 96% of the time despite all her "concerns." It's time for Maine to send her packing. David Costello won't vote for sycophants. He actually has a moral compass and standards. Vote for him #mepolitics
