There go her chances for winning the election to the Senate.🤬

Because bribery, that's why. Elon probably offered her 10 million bucks.

Apparently there were no exceptions even for one that was planned for to take over a defunct mill and would use the power that was already at the mill and the area apparently did not have a problem with it.

She wants to ensure Platner wins, obviously.

If your job forces you to build data centers, then it’s time to rethink your job. There has to be other jobs.

Particularly as the people rural datacenters need to hire are typically not already in the area since there isn't demand for those skills there. They'll be high paid and typically more cosmopolitan and often will try to live closer to the nearest cities since that's where the comforts they want are

And the tax subsidies that municipalities often award to developers and operators to attract these data centre projects often out-way the longterm economic benefits to the locality or region, even before factoring in tax avoidance strategies very often employed by the operators after completion.

Guess she really wants to lose that senate bid.

Money

The first thing that comes to mind is that she benefits financially somehow.

Being in the tank with the AI money baggers proves why Mills should never be elected as Senator!

Because Janet Mills is the one the Democratic machine is behind? Is this a trick question?

💰♾️

I have the same question. What’s Mills’ reasoning?

End of her senate aspirations.

$$$$$

You obviously haven't followed Mills' veto history over her career as governor. She has consistently made pro-corporate vetoes to crush both labor and the environment.

What?!!!!! WTF?!!!!!

Write/ in vote for @andrealaflamme.bsky.social The real choice for a Senator in Maine who is not a NAZI nor a corporate too old to be running Dem.

78 years old. I’m 69 and am saying we need to hit the refresh button on our aging government leaders.

Throws the primary to Platner.

Centrist truly are the reason for the demise of the Democratic Party.

Oh that'll help her Senate run. Dumbass old bag.

Someone needs a vacation home on a private island.

$$$ MUCHO $$$!!! Probably untraceable digital $$$....

Well she just lost

Jazz is Paris and Paris is jazz...

Money

Money. She's making millions.

Shame on her.

wow. she just threw her election, that's for damn sure!!

He's against of course. Did you really need to ask? And people wonder why we support him.

Usually the answer is bought influence.

Unbelievable.

Say hello to Senator Platner.

Follow the money

Money… I have some way her family was bribed

Because she doesn't want to be a senator

Maybe she had a stroke.

There goes the election.

Because she wants Susan Collins re-elected

Moneyyyyyyy

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And she won't live long enough (because of her age) to experience the devastating lasting consequences of her decision.

@muellershewrote.com

That's perplexing.

Follow the rubles through the White House, up the coast to Maine.

Greed is a horrible disease. It is toxic for the lives of others

water usage than the mill & no wastewater into local rivers. It meant millions of dollars & both permanent & temporary jobs. We need more leaders like Mills, instead of bullshit on social media. She fought for her constituents & kept her word.

Because she is a shill for Chuck Schumer! Chuck Schumer loves those big donations from Google, Meta, Palantir, and Elon Musk.

Well, she just handed the keys to Graham Platner for Senate. I would not support her for her move to veto what ppl do not want.

This is why she's going to lose. Not reading the room. At all.

Wtaf?!

bsky.app/profile/giny...

What??? Graham Plattner all the way!

Before Maine, Washington's governor vetoed a similar bill.

Money? 😮‍💨

Charles Schumer picks winners ONLY!!

Greeeeeed

Why? Cause Democrats eat themselves alive they have done it my whole long life! Never fails!

We all know why $he did it 🤑

Because she doesn’t actually want to become a senator?

Bye Janet.

Your wrong due to the reason she vetoed. Retract.

She can't let Susan Collins get all the hindering, disappointed or dismayed block to progress glory, now can she?

Follow the money?

Guessing money? 💰

Called.

Usually, when something doesn't make sense, I advise: Follow the money.

Hope they have a bunch of extra drinking water because these things gobble tons of cooling water, or so I've read. Not sure why they can't cool and recycle the water so no new/less is used.

My first guess is that it has something to do with the Benjamins

Payola..

Well, that better knock her out of the running.

💰

I think there is one in process? Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution (the Contract Clause) explicitly states: "No State shall... pass any... Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts".

The thought of storing data about all of us just seems criminal. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/for-...

How much money did she just make

Corporate Dem.

Being in the construction industry, trust me.

Jay is the site of a shut paper mill and a Poland Springs water plant that pushes out thousands of bottled water daily with about 15 employees. I think Schumer got to Mills.

You would expect someone like David "Call Me Dave" McCormick to be all in on data centers (corporations v. people), but this from Mills is almost shocking. I keep reading about local data center projects in the Inquirer and the loud public backlash. Some aren't hearing it, I guess.

Seems a reasonable veto after reading this www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Platner wins going away

Correct. They take up a lot of square footage and require a lot of infrastructure, but you could operate 100k sq/ft 24/7 with 12-15 people. That's not to say that a DC isn't a net positive economically, but they aren't the windfall that a factory employing hundreds or thousands would be.

AI needs to be regulated and corporations building the datacenters need to respect the community. Right now, they build them without input from the community taking their energy, water and creating noise population.

WTF!!!!!!!!!

You alt-leftists sure do hate that us Democrats try to help our working class Americans. What segment of the population would you all try to help out if you ever are able to win an election?

Someone already has her receipt, she sold out.

Politicians do things like this because somebody paid them🤷🏼‍♀️

Follow the money. What does she gain?

Money.

Here in the desert data centers are sucking up our water & driving up our electric bills. Republican govn'r isn't going to do a damn thing.

She just signed the win to Platner.

$$$$$$$

Corruption. Without the corruption of the Democratic Party, fascists in the Republican Party would not have been able to take power.

WTF. Isn't she running for Senator?

Put it in her f#%*>~ back yard 😡

Exactly!

Because she's a horrible person and happy to be a fascist. She's a miserable creature.

All of the above.

Unless there's a miracle, we're probably stuck with that worthless hack for another six years.

into the local river. It meant millions of dollars and both permanent & temporary jobs. And did the opposite of political pandering & stood by her constituents & her word. Shame on all the bullshit attacks that don’t even bother to learn facts.

Starting to understand why people in Maine seem to like the Nazi. (Not actually, but shit...)

My guess is she’s bought by big tech!

Yep, and that veto just cost her the senate.

Well, so much for your Senate aspirations, Janet. Goddamn it, Janet!

When the question is why the answer is usually $$$$.

Way to go! 🤦🏻‍♀️

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
