Pete Hegseth should be investigated for war crimes.

Susan Collins "cast a decisive vote last month against Democratic-backed legislation to essentially prevent a U.S. attack on Venezuelan soil without congressional authorization." #mesen #mepolitics www.bangordailynews.com/2025/12/01/p...

Working Mainers deserve a Congressperson who fights for them — not billionaires or special interests. I wrote about why I’m running, what I’ve learned serving this state, and the future we can build together. Read my op-ed in the Bangor Daily News: www.bangordailynews.com/2025/12/01/o...

Caving on the shutdown without extending the ACA tax credits was the wrong move. Small-business owners deserve fairness — not massive premium hikes. I’m running for Congress to protect these credits and lower costs for Maine families.

Trump is a maximally corrupt dipshit who does crime, what’s the contradiction

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Support small business. Break up monopolies.

100%

We watched The Harder They Come last night. It is sadly never not topical but the music is a great joy. RIP Jimmy Cliff.

When he was governor, Paul LePage gutted working-class Mainers and then flew off to his luxury Florida beach home. Maine is done with politicians who put billionaires before working families. Paul — do Mainers a favor: go home to Florida for good.

There is no ceasefire.

one of the things to keep in mind as you process the story that Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning is that she's a dumb piece of shit and she sucks and her quitting is great

one of Jon Hamm's first SNL appearances he played Scott Brown as this effortlessly charismatic dude who straight bamboozled Democrats and that's basically what Zohran is doing to Trump

Colombia will no longer approve new oil or large-scale mining projects in its Amazon biome, which covers 42% of the nation’s territory. Acting Environment Minister Irene Vélez Torres said the entire Colombian Amazon will be made a reserve for renewable natural resources.

This is sobering but precise. From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

amazing to live through recent elections and have someone straightfacedly argue that Democrats have nothing to gain from burnishing their labor bona fides or defending the civil service

🚨BREAKING🚨: We're going to win.

"the first step to winning an election is making it about what you can win on. Strategic campaigns begin with the question: How do I force the issues and conversations that most benefit my side to the fore?" www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a...

It is increasingly difficult to argue against the first part of this in particular. #MEpolitics

morbidly curious over how many Senate Democrats would be "yea" votes on a GOP voter ID bill

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Chuck Schumer is not built for this moment.

@senangusking.bsky.social I am a constituent and I am DEEPLY ANGRY that you not only will vote for this meaningless "compromise" but that you were one of the leaders putting it together. Do not try to run for re-election.

Can’t wait to Schumer to learn that Trump has no intention of honoring an Obamacare deal as he is perhaps the only person in America who doesn’t realize this

It seems Trump was asleep in the Oval Office for longer than we realized. He missed 20 years of debate on healthcare reform cepr.net/publications...

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House *no SNAP benefits *half benefits *full benefits *pause provision of benefits. Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

yeah, I mean...we just saw Ds of every ideological stripe win sweeping victories in every kind of district. it seems pretty clear that Golden's strategy of running against the Ds a la Manchin and Sinema has backfired spectacularly in an era of massive backlash to MAGA.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Graham Platner at the Chocolate Church in Bath. Full house. Seats 300. Begins by calling on attendees to support local food banks amid shutdown and suspension of SNAP assistance.

Susan Collins - deep in her deeply concerned soul - is just another right wing warmonger. #MESenate #MEPolitics

There you have it. Susan Collins reportedly waits till the last minute to see if Trump needs her vote to let him keep killing people indiscriminately without due process; it turns out he DOES need it; so she provides it. A pretty simple system! (Not so great for Maine. Or fishermen.) #MEpolitics

Gov. Janet Mills opposed the Question 2 gun safety referendum while her opponent Graham Platner supported it. 60% of Maine voters backed it, showing once again Mills' conservatism is out of step with most Mainers. open.substack.com/pub/andyobri...

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Today, as U.S. Rep. Jared Golden announced his decision to not seek reelection, Maine State Auditor Matt Dunlap released the following statement:

Last night’s election results sent a clear message. Here’s my statement. TL;DR: Caving to Trump doesn’t win.

Platner - Jackson - Dunlap Let's go!!

"Bowdoin grad wins New York City mayoral race" headline in the Bangor Daily News this morning. You have to love it :-)

up next, analysis of tonight’s election results… in multiple races across the nation, voters tell the gop and president trump to fuck off

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer should resign their leadership positions as soon as possible. Their failure to so much as endorse Mamdani laid bare layers of incompetence. They are why Democrats have completely failed to combat Trump. The sooner they are replaced, the better.

Maine voters opt for red flag law, expanding options for confiscating a firearm mainemorningstar.com/2025/11/04/m...

Question Two is about protecting Maine’s communities, schools, and families. Vote Yes on 2 to support Gun Safety.
