I got a text that the DOJ is planning a coup to disqualify Dem wins next week. Two state supreme courts elect members this week and need support if we’re going to have them able to protect us. I support Defend our Courts and thought you might be interested in their work, too!

Read this op-ed on the debate’s starkest contrast, Paul LePage’s record on health care versus Matt’s focus on restoring coverage for Mainers who need it most:

Susan is likely guilty of corruption outlined in that article. That’s why she’s beholden to Trump, voting with him 96% of the time. Even when we call, even when we write, even when we protest and ask for meetings. Even when it breaks her word.

Hey is it a good thing when, eight days before an election, you feel compelled to plant a column by one of your staffer's husbands (!) in your sympathetic local paper arguing that a Pulitzer-winning outlet's month-old story was poorly researched? #MEpolitics

10/26 The "No Nonsense PAC" supporting Bobby Charles for governor has already spent $169,000 backing 'Independent' candidate Rick Bennett, painting him as a progressive #maine #MEpolitics

Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s WWII globe for his office. His staff went ahead without the experts who normally oversee these moves. They broke it. It’s hard to imagine a better metaphor for this administration’s arrogance and incompetence.

They're scared to have real people from the working class in Washington because they know we'll challenge the status quo at every turn. The government we have now doesn't work for everyday people. It works fine for the wealthy. They're scared of losing that.

It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us. We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump. Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.

Yes! Tell it, Troy. #mepolitics

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

Mainers needed help long before Susan Collins needed saving. But apparently, families struggling to pay their bills wasn’t enough of an emergency. Her losing her job is.

Collins poured big bucks on billionaires & corps, spared a few pennies for us, and sprinkled uneven money, in an effort to pull the wool over our eyes, on a few fire stations & projects that honestly any Senator would seek. For her campaigns, she engaged in pay to play. #MESen #mepolitics #VoteBlue

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

startledsquirrel.bsky.social reposted

There's a reason Press Herald and even Susan Collins's normally deferential hometown paper ran this story a month ago today: It's credible, damning and includes e-mails to support it's bombshell claims. Challenge anyone to read it and not come away thinking Collins is corrupt as hell. #MEpolitics

As governor, Paul LePage pardoned political allies convicted of felony crimes and let lobbyists write policy for industries they used to represent. I’ve built my career on oversight and accountability. Maine deserves someone who answers to Mainers, not lobbyists.

10/22 Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a town hall meeting in Portland with Senate candidate Troy Jackson on Thursday, linking Senator Susan Collins to what she called a "ruling class" #maine #MEpolitics

“Do you want a man from Hancock County, or a man from Ormond Beach, Florida?” Mike Michaud summed up this race perfectly. While Mainers are splitting wood in the dark, Paul LePage will be at the pool. 📺️ Watch the coverage:

Susan Collins and her billionaire allies are spending millions in this race trying to tell you who Troy Jackson is. Let me save them some money. I’ll tell you who I am…

Oh, no. Not Simones. Damn there are fascist enablers everywhere. That’s the worst part. I honestly didn’t think there were that many people who would go along with this shit.

Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social

We knew that New Balance -- where Susan Collins took Manchin yesterday -- is run by a Collins donor but didn't realize/recall that Simones' Hot Dog Stand was owned by a Collins staffer's relative. There's something sad about a "campaign" that only visits folks who are already on board. #MEpolitics

This is the BS we’ve tried to warn you about since 2000. No one would listen that conservative ceos alone having the software to count our votes and fractionalizing votes was dangerous. And once Trump lied about it being used against him, it became sacrilege to talk about black box voting.

Michelle Ball was an FBI anti-corruption agent. Her work touched a contractor's claims about Susan Collins (she denies them). Kash Patel fired her last October. She sued in March. Thursday, nine more fired agents lined up behind her. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-accoun...

Press Herald runs a story on a desperate, pro-Collins attack ad Susan Collins is trying to distance herself from...but doesn't mention that she's given the group behind the ad $165,000 since 2020! Gotta love the Maine media. #MEpolitics

Thank you, Ro!

Beverly and Jeff Morris lived in peace and quiet on their beautiful farm before Meta broke ground on a data center complex next door. Now, they don't have clean drinking water and are dealing with constant noise pollution.
