We can protect Social Security, get people healthcare, and keep more of what we earn. I owe nothing to the billionaires or Trump. I owe everything to the people of Maine. That's what's in my heart.

The big “if” only fellow democrats like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Obama and legacy media didn’t force out President Biden, he could have been reelected & beat Trump.It’s the legacy media that did most of the damage when they decided Trump’s lies won at the presidential debate.

🚨 BOOM! THE HOUSE MAJORITY IS ABOUT TO FLIP. 66 of the 81 most competitive races are in Trump-won territory. This election will come down to turnout. Show up. Bring people with you. VOTE. 💙🌊 #VoteEarly #VoteBlue2026

I was proud to help pass universal school meals in the Maine Legislature. But feeding our kids takes more than passing a law. Hardworking farmers like those at Milkhouse Farms, who produce high-quality milk for families across Maine, are the ones putting in the work.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

Most Americans abhor what they see, because what they see is abhorrent. This is how the great sleeping giant of America awakens, roars, and puts an end to it. This is how America throws the bums out on November 3.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Dems "are signaling that the deployment of all kinds of tactics against such persecutions is on the table. Employing aggressive oversight, a Democratic House could subpoena all communications between Trump, the White House, DOJ, and the Department of Homeland Security about the targeting of Omar."

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Working Americans around the country are having to choose between getting groceries or filling up a tank of gas — all thanks to Trump. But what is he focused on? Finding new schemes to evade taxes on his billions. Despicable.

Is just racism. That’s all they’ve got.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

‘We, the people’—not we, the white people—not we, the citizens or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, but we the people.” —Frederick Douglass, 1857 www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

Zelensky is the most popular foreign leader in the United States; his 53 percent approval rating is far higher than Trump’s. So insulting Zelensky, as Trump does with distressing regularity, isn’t a smart strategy for reversing the president’s crumbling popularity. wapo.st/4zQY9Si

🚨 THE HOUSE MAP IS BLOWING WIDE OPEN. House Majority PAC is now pouring money into districts Trump won by DOUBLE DIGITS: 🔵 $2.2M against GOP Rep. Brad Finstad in a Trump +12 seat 🔵 $380K against GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz in a Trump +17 seat It’s striking how strongly Democrats are playing offense.

📊 A new poll reveals voters overwhelmingly reject Trump’s election-meddling tactics. Voters were given potential scenarios outlining how federal or state officials might respond to the 2026 election process. Overwhelming majorities disapproved of every tactic: https://demdock.com/4yIGP19

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Dan Sullivan and his DC insiders have spent millions on dishonest attack ads to distract Alaskans from the truth – Dan is part of a rigged system where politicians get wealthy while we go backwards financially.
