An Epstein-linked private equity billionaire bankrolling the Susan Collins anti-Platner PAC drove two of Maine’s largest paper mills into bankruptcy, selling them for scraps, and wiping out more than 1,000 jobs. www.dropsitenews.com/p/susan-coll...

Janet Mills just pulled out of a second debate with Graham Platner in Topsham scheduled for April 11, according to the debate moderator. She previously declined to participate in a debate organized by the Wabanaki nations.

Janet Mills lashed out at a recent forum when voters confronted her about her negative ad & opposition to tribal sovereignty, labor & gun safety legislation. www.dropsitenews.com/p/leaked-vid...

My friend @nathantbernard.bsky.social & I covered that. The opposition ran the most racist campaign against Safiya that I’ve ever seen in Maine. Even Facebook’s CTO responded to the story & had a notorious Lewiston FB group shut down. thebollard.com/2019/12/01/h...

Very good read on our dumb dystopia and emerging Silicon Valley slug person culture harpers.org/archive/2026...

Janet Mills claimed to have raised $1 million from small donors in the first 24 hours of her campaign. It turns out half that was big donations, and her small-dollar fundraising has sputtered since then.

⚡️ NEW from @dropsitenews.com: Janet Mills Is Flopping in the Fight for Maine Senate New FEC data from the Maine governor's Senate campaign show waning voter enthusiasm. Story by @nathantbernard.bsky.social and @ryangrim.bsky.social www.dropsitenews.com/p/janet-mill...

Janet Mills is flopping her US Senate run, inflating fundraising numbers to feign voter enthusiasm, skipping town amidst the ICE surge, and dining out during a service industry strike in Maine’s largest city. www.dropsitenews.com/p/janet-mill...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ICE agents abduct Lyft driver near University of Southern Maine in Portland, abandon his vehicle in middle of street jamming traffic, told to rot in hell

Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers fairly obviously mocks and satirizes fascism. Jack Posobiec (not a particularly intelligent man) sees this and unironically identifies with the Nazis:

His name is Jonathan Ross

Good morning from Maine

Speaking of Gaza, earlier today Janet Mills press sec appears to have posted/deleted the below. Whatever else this post is doing, it appears to accuse former DNC Vice Chair Michael Blake of vile bigotry for calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. #MEpolitics via @nathantbernard.bsky.social

Wonder why Janet Mills press secretary deleted this 🧐

Gov. Janet Mills opposed the Question 2 gun safety referendum while her opponent Graham Platner supported it. 60% of Maine voters backed it, showing once again Mills' conservatism is out of step with most Mainers. open.substack.com/pub/andyobri...

The manosphere bros are freaking out.

The Graham Platner campaign mobilized thousands of canvassers to defeat a Leonard Leo backed ballot question being voted on today that would demolish absentee voting in Maine. www.dropsitenews.com/p/election-c...

Graham Platner has converted his campaign into a vehicle to challenge a Leonard Leo ballot measure to curb absentee voting on Tuesday

💥 Maine Ballot Measure Is Testing the Power of Graham Platner’s Volunteer Army Canvassing teams trained by the campaign contacted 40,000 voters across the state in just two days to vote against billionaire-backed voting restrictions. By @nathantbernard.bsky.social

Looking forward to Loomer locking herself to the Pentagon when her credentials get revoked www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Getting sweaty from yelling at a mic for hours on end is not real work

Ian is incel posting again

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

One gets the sense voters hate anything tied to the Dem establishment. Platner's tattoo and posted remarks hit me viscerally, but voters don't seem to care. I'm willing to listen. The Dem establishment has had it all wrong for years.

It’s an NRSC poll so take with a huge grain of salt but if even remotely accurate, this is the first smoke signal that a Democratic Tea Party is happening

New Maine Senate race poll shows Platner with 46% and Mills at only 25%. The tattoo and Reddit controversies made 45% of those polled more likely to support Platner. Absolutely wild.

Something has been conspicuously missing from the conversation over Platner: the views of voters in Maine. We asked @nathantbernard.bsky.social to hit up some Platner town halls and talk to people. He found that the poll released this morning makes perfect sense.

@ryangrim.bsky.social of @dropsitenews.com open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

Interesting perspective on Platner. Ultimately it's up to the people.

Amidst the controversies this week, I went to Graham Platner’s town halls across Maine to interview voters. From Central to Southern Maine, people are still widely supporting him. www.dropsitenews.com/p/graham-pla...

New Platner tattoo has dropped

Graham Platner has covered his skull tattoo tied to nazism with a celtic knot

Graham Platner now says he plans to remove the skull tattoo being linked to Nazi symbols.

Good morning from Maine

With Governor Mills entering the US Senate Democratic Primary, Maine has become a battleground between the corporate-friendly establishment and insurgent progressive grassroots movement. My latest substack: open.substack.com/pub/andyobri...

The DSCC set up a joint committee to fundraise for Janet Mills the first day of her campaign, which will net her tens of millions through the primary.

One of those "kids" is Samuel Douglass.

Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

Tim Pool has somehow invented “MAGA with a hard R”

One of them was a Catholic high school guidance counselor!

Here are the grown “kids”. That one guy looks late 40’s. These are the Hitler lovers.

the "kids" were mostly 30+ years old and said they love hitler

Vance reacts to the Young Republicans chat leak

Parnas: A lot of people are saying this idea that, well, Graham Platner hasn’t won statewide, and Janet Mills has. Platner: We have a number of excellent senators who had never run for office or won a statewide race before. That’s an argument the establishment makes to protect itself
