Since the State of Maine has been attacked by the President, can we apply for this money? It could find 20+ years of Medicaid expansion here.

An oligarch-funded think tank is trying to undermine Medicare for All even before Democrats regain power. Candidates like Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed are rejecting the ploy.

What an inspiring time at Graham Platner Veteran’s Town Hall in Portland, ME where VFRL’s Dan Barkhuff and Scott Peoples were featured speakers. Graham’s voice in the Senate will be crucial for the veteran community! #VeteransforGraham

This is who Mamdani reminds me of.

GRAHAM PLATNER CAN’T BE STOPPED youtu.be/S2R41iB_JHw?...

5/18 Dozens of Flock cameras now have Mainers under surveillance, whether they’ve done anything wrong or not #maine #MEpolitics

Susan Collins holds $4.8 million in stocks, including Amazon. She also voted to give Amazon a massive tax break. Coincidentally.

"Former detainees and other advocates have been calling for Long Creek’s closure for decades. However, bills in the state Legislature to phase out use of the facility haven’t made it across the finish line. Gov. Janet Mills vetoed a bill to close Long Creek in 2021."

Donald Trump is the worst conman in the world. But he gained support among my working class neighbors because they were pissed off at a rigged system that was stealing their time and livelihoods. For that, I can’t blame them. This campaign is about making their lives better, too. #mepolitics

Graham Platner: Trump and JD Vance have no idea what war is really like

Mainers are done with corporate think tank solutions that tinker around the edges of our healthcare crisis. No more half measures. No more quick fixes for insurance companies. We need Medicare for All. #MEPolitics #M4A #MedicareForAll

Hey JD Vance - I found some waste, fraud and abuse for you.

I can't wait to vote for Graham Platner.

We just spent fifty billion in two months on the war in Iran and I haven’t heard a single question of where it came from. But the moment you say Americans deserve to see housing costs come down, or energy costs, or healthcare, suddenly there's no money to be had.

Machias ➡️ Portland. I made a promise to see voters in both places on the same day, and I don't make promises lightly. I can't afford a private jet, but thankfully, my good friend Pat McGowan helped me get the job done. #mepolitics

The thing that would piss off both the right and the left the most is if Platner turns out to be great. I honestly can’t wait to find out what happens with that race.

I’m not in Maine. I have big doubts about Platner. But, here’s another point of view: open.substack.com/pub/dbarkhuf...

Brilliant explanation for why we are at war from Graham Platner 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎

Maybe our nurses? maineaflcio.org/news/maine-s...

If they're out to get you, you're doing something right. Vote for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and Graham Platner for Senate #michigan #maine open.substack.com/pub/angrymal...

Every single time we hit a girls' school with a Tomahawk missile, a Raytheon executive makes a profit.

No trip to Vinalhaven is ever long enough. Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon! #mepolitics

Even Though He's Made Controversial Statements, Many Folks Think Platner Should Get A 2nd Chance,And Beat Susan Collins.......

If people really leave to avoid taxes, good riddance.

"Maine needs a governor who knows who we were, who we are, and who we can become. His journey to the Blaine House reminds me why I am a Democrat, and it is why I will cast my vote for Troy Jackson." Thank you, Mayor Dion. It means the world to have you in my corner. #mepolitics

Politicians don't get my money. Graham Platner from Maine earned it. We've been watching billionaires drain us dry since Reagan while nothing changes. I want fighters. I want people who mean it. This is how we win.

For the first time ever, I have set up a monthly donation to a politician--Graham Platner. It's time for a revolution.

If anyone wants a detour from my usual politics-posting, here’s a look at the movement to try to entice Franco-Americans to return from to Canada in the late 19th century. Two competing first-hand views of “repatriation” open.substack.com/pub/parlezvo...

And I can tell you, as a former Republican, that the GOP counts on that, and actively promotes cultural hot-button issues to bait Democrats into fighting among themselves. Works like a charm.

"Contrary to Buxton’s remarks, according to financial disclosures, Platner would be the fifth-least wealthy US senator should he be elected in November. His and his wife’s combined net worth is below $100,000." www.commondreams.org/news/graham-...

I spent weeks talking to Platner advisers, Maine voters, and the candidate himself about climate, energy and affordability. Here’s what I learned: insideclimatenews.org/news/1705202...

Platner campaigned for the Red Flag law that Mills didn’t support. Seems pretty clear.

2/2 Tim needs another 100, $5 contributions by Wedesday to qualify for the maximum funding from the state for his campaign. He's a QUANTUM LEAP better option for us in Augusta than MAGA Rep. Marygrace Caroline Cimino. www.votetimbecker.com

WHY AM I LEARNING ABOUT FDR'S ECONOMIC BILL OF RIGHTS FROM GRAHAM PLATNER?!? (Fucking Texas public school education) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_...

A note from Graham Platner

People are starting to like Dems who actually fight for them, and the GOP is panicking. Graham Platner, Brian Poindexter, and Abdul El-Sayed are running on Mamdani-style platforms and gaining traction. Old guard Dems always say progressive policies are unwinnable. Mamdani is proving them wrong. 👍

Interesting look at Graham Platner vs Susan Collins in Maine. youtu.be/nlRswCllI5w?...

Unions (& the Labor Movement!) The folks who brought you the weekend #MEPolitics #Maine

If Donald Trump tries to confirm a Supreme Court justice in his final two years, Senate Democrats must follow The McConnell Rule™

anybody that oyster Farms and dives for a living is working class. they can all suck it.

I don't give a sweet fuck what class Graham is. All I know and care about is he's the first politician in my long lifetime who understands and articulates what it's like to live in my class.

I don't give a sweet fuck what class Graham is. All I know is he's standing up for me and my class. That's all that matters to me.

“Racist posts” It is unbelievable to me at a time when black Americans in the South are being drawn out of the conversation literally-having representation taken away-that any serious person is talking about a comment regarding black Americans’ *tipping* practices. Are you actually OK?
