I had a great time putting yard signs down all over Maine and speaking to some neighbors! It’s our time. Let’s go win this thing 💪

10/23 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on how the $70 billion Senator Susan Collins appropriated for ICE is fueling a broader effort to instill fear in and divide Americans #maine #MEpolitics

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Overall he's grabbing most of the waterfront south of the (also seized) Kennedy Center, west of the National Mall. This is the people's land. Maybe it's about ego, but he's also grifting taxpayer money & land for his MAGA elites, & it's gotta be stopped. stickycomics.substack.com/p/trumps-dc-...

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Lots of good news today for Dems. Don’t get complacent. Check your registration. Go vote - early if you can. Let’s win this fucking thing.

When you put it THAT way, it looks like *we're* stupid enough to pay Russia to sell Iran missiles to hit us with. This is the stupidest timeline.

Tonight is my final debate with Susan Collins. I’ve invited her to many town halls during this campaign. She hasn’t shown up to a single one. After 25 years without hosting one herself, “Our Senator” is long overdue to answer to the Mainers living with the consequences of her votes.

It turns out that the best way to avoid being killed by drivers is to be protected by infrastructure.

We cannot allow the Senate to remain a rubber stamp of Republican control. We can win this together, Maine.

New Hampshire consistently has one of the largest college student populations per capita in the country. It also has some of the nation’s most restrictive voting laws — and students feel them most. Here’s what makes the Granite State so hostile to student voters: https://demdock.com/4zKPjWz

Susan Collins in 1996 vs. Susan Collins in 2026

Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

📬 USPS delays this midterm season could cause your mail ballot to not be counted. Nearly half the zip codes in the lower 48 will be affected by new USPS procedures. We mapped those zip codes to help you figure out whether your mail ballot could be affected ⬇️

“This election is likely our last chance to stop the march of fascism led by Trump and his enablers seeking to hold onto power by any means necessary…We should take seriously Trump’s repeated assertions that he intends to stay in power after 2028.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-are-und...

📮 Your mail ballot could be postmarked too late to count, even if you mailed it on time. New USPS cost-cutting changes put tens of thousands of mail voters at risk of having their mail ballots rejected. Make a plan and check to see if your zip code is affected: https://demdock.com/4rMi8Ps

KFF’s Juliette Cubanski explains that the Trump Administration’s plan to provide a one-time $90 payment to Medicare beneficiaries may not offset rising costs. https://on.kff.org/4i3f9Ph

Yes.

10/3 Yes, Maine Congressional candidate Paul LePage really did describe Social Security as “welfare, pure and simple" #maine #MEpolitics

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Is that like how Donald polices himself?

10/1 Absentee ballots are on their way to the 64,000 Maine voters who requested them, and early in-person voting starts in Maine on Monday #maine #MEpolitics

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

My take away: trump engaged in serious crimes against the nation.

The idea that we should let kids go hungry just to give tax breaks to people like Elon Musk is ridiculous to me.

Last night I wrote about consequences, and what happens when the courts give Trump a pass. I hope you'll take a moment to read it, especially in this moment where we see the Court isn't immune to public pressure—Justice Alito just recused from a case because of it.

🚨 FACT: There is a federal criminal law that prohibits any armed agent of the federal government from being at the polls. There is only one exception. Marc Elias explains. Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

🧵 I agree with every word in this thread. People keep calling Carney the new leader of the free world. I'd maybe give him second place, but no one is in the same league as Zelenskyy.
