Women are not magical unicorns who never lie. To say "believe women" without qualification is condescending and misogynistic.

"I'm just going to try to help fix big problems and make it so you never hear about me on the news/Facebook" is essentially my entire stump speech.

they could still get actual evidence that he was a coke dealer (at the moment only a rumor passed around by various politbaero members)

Senator Susan Collins was hanging out today with disgraced MAGA perv Eric Dore of Skowhegan who got busted in 2022 for taking upskirt photos of a 19-year old without her knowledge.

Susan Collins does not care.

US Senatorial candidate Graham Platner channeling the uncompromising, revolutionary spirit of Thomas Paine. #USA250 "It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error." - Thomas Paine youtu.be/B8sR4E3jArI?...

Nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have donated to reelect Susan Collins. Keeping poor people poor & rich people rich! Fix: Support Democratic nominee Graham Platner!

And the New York Times will be a key tool for fomenting internal conflict within the Democratic Party. We see this already with their pieces on Mamdani and Platner. They are also going to drive wedges on support of Israel's killing spree.

Let’s debate then, Senator. And let’s do them town hall style. Refusing to hold a single town hall in almost 3 decades because you cannot defend your own record is disqualifying as Maine’s United States Senator.

“Our effort is about elevating the voices of everyday Mainers,” said McCollister, lobbyist and ex-chief of staff to ex-Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, Maine Morning Star noted. Small donors power the PAC (and Platner’s campaign), while out of state billionaires, fund Collins. #SusieTheEnabler

Look at what's happening to our once-safe neighborhoods under Democrat rule in Maine #bobbycharles #saveus

In-depth look at Platner's military service. Kudos to Washington Spectator. Nobody else has really bothered. I'd be interested to hear what other vets have to say about it.

I agree with Susan Collins that campaigns should be about the issues, our records, and our vision for Maine’s future. The issue is Senator Collins’ record of funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband’s lobbying firm. My vision is to make that illegal.

Half of what's being called "socialism" is just "what if we didn't completely abandon people to misery simply because they had some shit luck?"

6/27 Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner shared his plan to root out waste, corruption at Pentagon, part of a broader anti-corruption plan laid out on Thursday #maine #MEpolitics

Local paper has this on a local woman running for #MeGov www.midcoastvillager.com/news/a-small... #MePolitics

Last month JD Vance claimed he was going to find hundreds of millions in fraud committed by Somali Mainers. The results of his nationwide dragnet are in: they found 70 whole bucks. And of course the defendant isn't even an immigrant. My latest piece: andyobrien.substack.com/p/jd-vances-...

Bottom line: we can't afford Susan Collins.

Susan Collins really doesn’t like the “Collins Rule”…

Welcome to our MIRC summer 2026 interns!

I'm going to start posting some of the articles I've published at the Bread & Roses Tribune. This one is a comprehensive article about all the controversies and claims surrounding Graham Platner. It will be updated until the 2026 midterm elections. Enjoy!

Urgent update: gofund.me/fb1d2dcd7

Andy O'Brien covers a lot of important territory in this one, but the quick and easy takeaway is Collins waving that effing sword around. I've seen it mentioned on FB a few times but it needs a lot more attention.

🧵 The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Administration to strip Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, and potentially so many others, is a devastating act of cruelty. (1/8)

Maine is home to hundreds of TPS holders who've fled horrific conditions, followed the rules, paid taxes, sent their kids to school, and built lives in our communities. Because of Trump's anti-immigrant agenda, and a SCOTUS all too willing to rubber stamp it, their futures are in jeopardy. (2/8)

We overwhelming voted against the Maine version of the SAVE act. Her support is a spit in the face to her constituents. Even the PPH criticized her in breach of their mandated glossing.

It's great news that Maine exceeded its housing goals last year, and we have a new online portal to keep tracking new units.

Interesting analysts here - and one that changed my mind about how the Sec of State office takes so much care when counting ballots. You really do run the risk of declaring the wrong winner if you overlook a few hundred ballots #mepolitics www.bangordailynews.com/2026/06/26/p...

"A Constitutional right millions of us had lived with for nearly 50 years disappeared in a single morning with a vote,” local organizer Marie Follayttar said, WGME reported. “And every single one of us who fought to stop it knew exactly how we had got there. Susan Collins." #SusieTheEnabler

Forget about what mainstream media has said about Platner. Listen to his plans and if elected, watch his actions: youtube.com/watch?v=B8sR...

Great hosting my health research colleagues from across the country last week at @pellcenter.bsky.social. A great audience turned out for our public talk on the geography and cultural determinants of health and our modest proposal of how to completely fix US health care.

I didn’t say what Susan Collins did is criminal. I said it SHOULD be criminal.

Susan Collins got incredibly wealthy, funneling taxpayer money to her husband & profiting off stock trading while in office (violating the STOCK Act 25 times). In a reasonable society, that would be criminal. Unfortunately, corrupt politicians like her still write our laws.

Two things from this jump out to me: - Workers’ share of income is at its lowest level in 80 years - In past decades, hits incurred during recessions saw an eventual recovery. Not the case since 2000 where it’s been a steady decline libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2026/06/the-...

This seems correct. I’ve covered many many dem campaigns and what voters seem to want isn’t so much about ideology as about saying things with your whole chest.

@pressherald.com and @randybillings.bsky.social playing “prevent defense” for the Collins campaign.

Exactly as Graham Platner proposes! GrahamforSenate.com #GrahamForSenate2026

"The world we live in is not how it has to be. We CAN have a healthcare system that is not just another mechanism of extracting wealth out of working Americans, but a guarantee of safety and health for all." -Graham Platner

“The executive branch awards contracts. Congress does not award contracts. Susan Collins has never awarded a contract in her life.” This statement from the Collins campaign should be added to every press release she sends out about federal grants #mepolitics www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...

We need a Senator who spends more time with working Mainers than rubbing elbows with the Epstein class.

Not gonna happen. Besides, Maine voters have spoken. www.patreon.com/BGIM/posts/m...

Data shows reports of ICE activity in Maine have risen

This is so bad. Thanks for telling us what's going on right now in the Maine VA.

Today, I laid out my anti-corruption plan right outside of Susan Collins’s office: 🇺🇸Ban Billionaires & Corporations Buying Elections 💰Pass the "Collins Rule" (no funneling taxpayer $$$ to your spouse) 📊Ban Congressional Stock Trading 🪖Root Out Pentagon Corruption & Waste
