One simple fix can save Social Security: lift the cap that keeps Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and the rest of the top 1% paying a lower rate than the rest of us.

Preferring Corinthian over Ionic is such a predictable Trump move.

This is why I support Graham Platner for the US Senate from Maine = He gets it!

This one drills down into Platner's economic populist foundational beliefs--it's a serious interview. Anyone puzzled at why we support him--here it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwgb...

Happy Birthday Maine!

youtu.be/v0R55QGMUsk?... Their are dark money organizations coming hard after progressives. #Illinois #elections

Happy Birthday Maine! The Army had me live in a few different states and I've travelled to quite a few others, but Maine was always calling me home. I was very happy to finally move back a few years ago. It remains my favorite place to be!

3/15 Three things Mainers should know that happened this week in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran #maine #MEpolitics

Working class DC lobbyist Robert “Bobby” Charles pumped $80k into his own campaign. Now, he says he can barely pay his bills. Someone get this man the budgeting help he needs!

He appeared on a right wing podcast to reach out to a different audience. While ignorant in some respects, the podcaster isn't any nore racist than Fox News

We actually look harder at the candidates and don't listen to talking points. The podcaster in question is no more racist than Fox news, and many Democrats go on there with little criticism.

Recently got spam mail for Susan Collins. They referenced a quote of support from 2023. Very similar to how Collins has been found to cite “accomplishments” from two or three years ago herself since lately she hasn’t done much of anything to help Mainers. #mepolitics

To defeat Susan Collins, we cannot run the same kind of campaign that has lost to her for decades.

3/14 Press Herald reports that DHS notified local police that the ICE surge in Maine was ending a week before Senator Collins announced it #maine #MEpolitics

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

No Kings 3 will might be in March (28th) but it will come quick. So mark the date and time in Freeport ME. 8-11a Corner of Main St (rt. 1) & School St. organized by “Visibility Freeport”

Threats and intimidation. "This is your one warning," agent tells observer in Westbrook who had followed and filmed them, then in turn led her to her own home. "We know you live right here." #Maine #ICEOutOfMaine

No lies detected.

This is really good. Well worth the read.

Brilliant move here by Platner to put this op-ed in Cruz’s hometown paper and it would be so great if ANY other Democrats (who didn’t have a Nazi tattoo past) were this good at their job www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

Over 6,000 US strikes in Iran over the last 13 days, averaging a strike every 3 minutes. But apparently we cannot afford to build more schools and hospitals in Maine. Only to bomb them overseas.

"Nobody has solved it" 🙄 Here's health expenditures per person, adjusted for inflation for the US, Canada, France, UK, Japan. Guess which one is us?

Also new from me - how ICE's "Operation Catch of the Day" cost Mainers, businesses and our economy as a whole millions of dollars #mepolitics www.mecep.org/blog/immigra...

allegedly lying the somali event he appeared at was a large protest from what I can see, which he was invited to but did not organize, and was in line with very direct imminent threats from ICE.

I don't understand how anyone can say with a straight face that "The affordability crisis is not solvable...Nobody has solved it." Not only do other countries not have people bankrupted by hospital costs, they've also seen slower growth in per-person spending! themainemonitor.org/hospital-lob...

Good piece on the broad impacts of the ICE surge in Maine #mepolitics www.sampan.org/post/operati...

3/13 Democrats in Augusta advanced a bill Tuesday to create a safety net for Mainers’ food assistance benefits, which President Trump attempted to withhold for political leverage during the government shutdown in October #maine #MEpolitics

well, defense of a person who once had a totenkopf, not defending the totenkopf itself. I understand nuance is difficult. And yes, tragedy is always used to silence progressives. That was true post 9/11 and during the war on terror, true after every school shooting, and is true today too

If you want to question my integrity and you are replying to me. I'm blocking you. I'm not here to argue with any of you. I know that's how many of you get down, but I'm not that person.

New from me - the numbers on Trump’s first year are in and they don’t look great for Mainers #mepolitics

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

"No elected leader who claims to stand with nurses or represent the interests of Maine working people should be taking campaign contributions from Palantir. This is, after all, a company that profits off the collection of our personal data and surveillance of our community."

"Once you cheapen a phrase like antisemitism… when you call Miss Rachel an antisemite, you're completely undermining the very important common struggle we should have against antisemitism.” Piers Morgan & I discuss Ben Shapiro's attempts to cancel anyone who criticizes Israel.

Tommy Tuberville should stick to football. I’m sick of politicians using ignorance to make people feel like they don’t belong — and I’m done tolerating it. This is disgraceful. #MEPolitics

Maine dems need to hitch spicy suzie to Trump policies. Illegal war Abortion Voting rights ( save act) ICE which she LIED about The list is endless.. Using OUR tax dollars for HER tax cuts while taking food, health and housing away from our fellow Mainers? Know your enemy.

Just one more reason the 'concerned, im sure he's learned his lesson" senator who campaigned on only serving two terms needs to go!

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

We are still paying for the lessons learned from the Iraq war: Appeals court upholds jury verdict of $14,000,000 for 3 Iraqi men tortured by U.S. soldiers at the Abu Ghraib prison The judges compared torturers to pirates, “the same small category of criminals representing enemies of all mankind”

Damnit.

CENTCOM has confirmed the death of four crew members of the KC-135 that crashed in Iraq. The status of another two crew members is unclear at this time. The crash was not the result of enemy or friendly fire. I sincerely hope this illegal war with Iran ends soon.

Deranged all right

Maine has a bit of a Public Defense crisis in the courts. Funding for defense attorneys will run out on 23 March. This bill must pass to remedy that problem. The justice system is already far too biased against those lacking financial resources. We can't allow it to get any worse. #mepolitics
