We're watching so-called Second Amendment absolutists deciding, in the space of a day, that masked federal agents are justified in murdering an American citizen because he was carrying a gun. As a gun owner myself, this is abhorrent.

1/28 Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey has created an email hotline for Mainers to report abuses by federal agents while here for immigration enforcement surge. But remember: emails to government accounts may go public under the state's Freedom to Access law. #maine #MEpolitics

"The Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition’s ICE hotline logged nearly 650 sightings in the seven days since the massive operation...Of those calls, 536 contained locations that were spread out over 56 towns — as far south as Kittery and as far north as Stockholm." www.bangordailynews.com/2026/01/28/m...

Just in time for a new funding fight, WaPo reports that DHS has not really investigated ANY of 16 shooting incidents. Dems should demand real investigations for all of these (maybe get Robert Storch, fired DOD IG to do it) AND ALSO LaMonica McIver event. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

1/28 Speaker of the Maine House Ryan Fecteau: Lowering the cost of living is Democrats' top priority #maine #MEpolitics

"Maine is one of 20 states that have asked to join Minnesota’s lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem." Thank you AG Frey. www.pressherald.com/2026/01/26/m...

Stop the terrorism. Stop the violence. Stop the invasion of masked armed agents into Maine to kidnap and terrorize our neighbors.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Senator Collins’ Senate offices in Portland and Bangor to demand: No More Money For ICE. I'll see you there. RSVP at the link below.

Health care is a prime example. She’s not wrong about all impacts. But there’s next to nothing she’s going to do about it! #mepolitics Calling for vague “universal health care” from the federal government isn’t enough.

My quick personal take on Maine State of the State: It doesn’t meet the moment in terms of the scale of the problems we face either in everyday affordability or threats from Washington. The headline affordability checks aren’t the worst but are a one time solution to an ongoing need #mepolitics

1/27 Senator Collins has boxed herself in between her appropriations bills and oversight of ICE #maine #MEpolitics

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26: • Alex Pretti • Renee Good • Keith Porter • Heber Sanchaz Domínguez • Victor Manuel Diaz • Parady La • Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz • Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres • Geraldo Lunas Campos They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

A kindergartener is one of a growing number of children in Maine who have been left without a parent as the Trump administration carries out a major immigration enforcement effort, according to local officials.

A group of faith leaders and other people of faith held a sit-in at Sen. Susan Collins’ Portland office today to urge her to block funding for ICE. Nine people were arrested. This afternoon, Collins called on the Department of Homeland Security to pause the current ICE surge in Maine and Minnesota.

I think the far right would be shocked if the libs decided to exercise their right to open carry.

Aside from the lopsided nature of these proposals, the ranking Republican on the Maine appropriations committee wants to use 2 years of revenue to pay for 1 year of tax cuts 🤔 #mepolitics

1/27 ICE has taken ANOTHER corrections officer from Maine, this time from York County. He had no criminal record and was taken when ICE invited him to a fake immigration check-in status appointment at the Scarborough facility. #maine #MEpolitics

The Maine Attorney General's office is now reviewing reports of intimidating and excessive federal enforcement behavior for potential violations of the Maine and federal Constitutions, as well as the Maine Civil Rights Act. Tell them what you're seeing: www.maine.gov/ag/news/arti...

When Susan Collins held her last town hall, Bill Clinton was president and I was in middle school.

Trump says he wants to support manufacturing jobs but this made-in-USA manufacturing business has to call in help because Trump’s secret police has its employees terrified to come to work. #mepolitics www.mainepublic.org/maine/2026-0...

Businesses are closing to protect their staff and customers in the wake of the terror federal agents are spreading across Maine #mepolitics www.sunjournal.com/2026/01/26/i...

If the best the feds can do is identify 4 people out of 200 with criminal records, that says a lot about who they're actually targeting #mepolitics

1/26 The NRA and other 2nd Amendment groups are angry at the Trump Administration over using his having a weapon as justification for killing Alex Pretti #maine #MEpolitics

What folks think in #Maine think about

Canadian boycott of Maine update #mepolitics: Between February and December 2025, there were 801,000 fewer authorized border crossings between Maine and Canada The drop was almost entirely due to Canadians staying away - thru November, there were 672,000 fewer Canadian visits to Maine

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

When our union sisters and brothers were under siege by masked ICE agents this past week, faith leaders stepped and formed a human chain in front of the factory.

Mainers - if you're fired up about ICE in Maine, the legislature will consider a bill to restrict their access to sensitive locations (school, daycares, hospitals, libraries) on THURSDAY. More info and contact your reps here: #mepolitics ilapmaine.org/ld-2106

Governor Mills could have signed LD 1971 into law last June. Instead, she delayed until a few weeks ago and it won’t be enforced for months. She could have protected Mainers against ICE. But she didn’t. That’s not leadership. That’s just Susan Collins with a D next to her name.

A directory of Black-owned businesses in Maine has gone offline because it’s afraid ICE will use the information to target business owners and customers. This is the level of fear they’re creating in our community and I’m afraid it’s exactly what they want. #mepolitics

We wanted to cancel our two events today in Kittery with the storm bearing down. Our people insisted we stay the course. Susan Collins could never.

Badass alpha male Steve Robinson of the Maine Wire has been LARPing with ICE in Portland. As he told a podcast recently, “I was ready to go see some protestors tear gassed...I thought we were going to see some purple-headed weirdos thrown to the ground….just kind of dull.”

This has to feel a lot better than shooting your neighbor in the face.

We have the right and the duty to resist ICE and protect our fellow Americans.

Today I am angry. Kidnapping. Abductions. Using violence against the innocent. Destroying their property. Holding them against their will. Murder. All crimes being committed by federal agents.

He can’t imagine a potluck dinner.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

You know who”stayed a little back” in VIetnam? DJT.

Portland, Maine is a Sanctuary City with a sizable immigrant population, including my neighborhood. These signs are all over the place today. 💙

"As I told the White House in no uncertain terms this morning, the Federal Government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The State will handle it. Period." Governor Tim Walz
