MAINERS: If you see ICE, call this hotline: (207) 544-9989. It's the Maine Immigrant Rights org, and their website has resources on how to protect yourself and others, what do do if someone is taken, and how to safely film their activity. maineimmigrantrights.org/mirc-resourc... #MEpolitics

Because of Maine's outdated constitutional provision on property taxes, Mark Zuckerberg will pay the same tax rate on his 1,400-acre mountain as a working-class resident of Greenville. It's to time fix that and let towns impose higher rates on the wealthy #mepolitics www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

America can't be fascist because I'm not doing anything about it

I've always been annoyed by the assumptions people made about the victims at Pompeii based on where they were found, their position or connection to others. Making up relationships, assuming genders, etc. Nice to see that dealt with by science; www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Helluva play, but is it considered a rebound?

The “Big Beautiful Bill” means higher health care bills for Maine families. And Paul LePage embraces it. Mainers are done with Florida-men like Trump and LePage who want to raise our costs.

TreyVeon Henderson are you my editor bc you’re making some nasty cuts out there

Watching the Patriots

AFC Offensive Player of the Week incoming?

Drake Maye is good

HAT TRICK FOR TREYVON! #Patriots #NFL

Congratulations on 1000 to our Little Ball of Hate. #bruins #nhl

TreVeon Henderson carrying the ball but that's a team TD

Love Douglas’ role on this #Pats team. #NFL

Patriots v. Jets. 1986. Irving Friar. Tequila!

Moms are awesome! #nba

It went down in 2023. It went down in 2024. It went up in 2025.

Sister Irene O’Connor :: Fire of God’s Love (1973) aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/12/s... Drenched in reverb and powered by organ and fuzzy drum machine, it sounds like a holy devotional side project by Broadcast—future music imbued with traditional faith.

Fun fact: over 20 years ago, Charles Rossotti--then IRS commissioner--estimated that the average American was paying an involuntary, undisclosed 15% surcharge on their income taxes because the ultra-rich were engaging in mass tax avoidance like this. Imagine how much higher that surcharge is now.

Swayman almost gets his skull split open! Worked TSN last night. We originally thought the shot knocked off his mask, but I had the slot iso (first look in the sequence) and noticed his helmet came off as the shot was taken! I showed production and we came back with this.

PASTA’s 400! #bruins

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

Buh-bye dude. Don't let the door hit you etc etc. #MEpolitics

What a coincidence that this wound up with exactly the number of Dem votes required for it to pass. Schumer, Durbin and the rest engaging in the Susan Collins-ization of the Democratic party. Primary them all. #MEpolitics

Forgot to tag him! @senangusking.bsky.social, you are a constant disappointment to Mainers. We want you to fight for us, not bend to Trump whenever the going gets tough. #mepolitics

The administration went all the way to the Supreme Court on Friday night to halt food-stamp funding. 🤡

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

I just got home from work. It’s late. I still took 5 minutes to write Angus King and ask him and his colleagues to grow a spine and rethink their agreement to reopen the govt. You can too! www.king.senate.gov/contact #mepolitics

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

I also wrote an anniversary piece about GZA's "Liquid Swords", a masterpiece that is arguably Rap's all-time greatest Winter album: dartadams.medium.com/gza-liquid-s...

The US Government is telling states not to feed their hungry citizens or face penalties. WT actual FUCK!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

🚨 New video: DC powerbrokers think they can pick Maine’s next member of Congress. They can’t. Mainers make our own decisions — and we choose leaders who show up for us. That’s what this campaign is all about. Watch 👇

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Yesterday, Congressman Jared Golden announced that he will not seek re-election. I’m Matt Dunlap: lifelong Mainer, current State Auditor, former Maine Secretary of State, and the only Democrat in this race with the experience, integrity, and grassroots power to beat Paul LePage and win.

This episode speaks to the current race to unseat Collins. Being “moderate” isn’t what it used to be. #mepolitics
