I know what happens when working people decide that they've had enough. Together, we'll make sure Susan Collins and the Republicans find out soon. Join us at JacksonForMaine.com.

Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office. We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House. 📸: @ms.now @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

A citizen-led campaign is working to put universal healthcare before Maine voters next year, with volunteers collecting signatures for a 2027 ballot measure that would require lawmakers to develop a publicly funded healthcare system covering all residents.

We can't afford to wait for DC to get its act together. Families are in crisis - universal healthcare is a must. Troy can deliver and protect the families of Maine. He has the guts, the experience, and the knowledge to run a state. For all of us.
If politicians are worthy of government-sponsored healthcare, everybody is. When I'm Governor, we're not waiting for DC to get its act together. We will pass universal healthcare ourselves. #mepolitics

“Troy has proven to us for years now that he is ready to fight for Mainers and their ability to thrive. Now it’s time to elect him to the Blaine House and give Maine back to the working class.” Thank you, Phoebe. I am so honored to earn your first ever vote! #mepolitics

A Republican-aligned political group has spent millions of dollars on ads promoting Susan Collins, but a closer look at these ads shows they rely on misleading — and in some cases impossible — claims about her record on health care.

Not to be overly alarmist, but everyone should be worried about DOJ’s indictment of SPLC. Here’s why: joycevance.substack.com/p/whats-wron...

Maine has such an engaged population when it comes to resisting (one of the most engaged in America), that middle school students are staging walkouts in protest. #ORGANIZE #RESIST #OPPOSE #NonViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #GetInvolved #MEpolitics

In digging for events every morning for my calendars, I've been really impressed with the number of teen groups planning and implementing educational events, rallies, and candidate forums. This alone helps instill hope and faith in Maine and America's future. #MEpolitics #MaineYouth #Organize

I'm feeling a need to share realities this morning. Here's one, in case you didn't see it yesterday.
Troy Jackson has the heart to pay attention to what matters to families, and the experience to deliver it. Well thought-out plans, not slogans. Do you know a Maine family who struggle to afford childcare? Of course you do.
Childcare costs in Maine are insane. They’re forcing Mainers' kids and grandkids out of the state. Even worse, they’re holding working folks back from starting families at all. Enough excuses. Enough compromises. Enough half-measures. It's time to solve this problem at the source.
