Time is something we don’t get enough of in Maine. Too many folks are juggling multiple jobs just to survive. I know that life, and I can tell you it’s not living. People deserve better.
Government’s got plenty of Ivy League graduates. It doesn’t have many folks like me who graduated from UMaine Fort Kent after going back to school as a 29-year-old logger. Those are the sorts of people who need a voice in our state government. When I’m Governor, they’ll have one. #mepolitics
In light of the disastrous Virginia ruling, it’s clear we can’t wait for the courts to save us. To protect our state and country, we need to run Democrats with track records of winning in Trump-dominated areas. I’ve done that three times. I’ll do it again as your nominee for Governor. #mepolitics
Roosevelt would never have gotten the New Deal off the ground if he’d spent his time worrying about what Republicans had to say. When I’m Governor, we will pass universal childcare with or without them. #mepolitics
Rural Mainers have more than just Republicans to blame for our hardships. Both parties had a hand in selling out our industrial base and offshoring family-supporting jobs. Bad trade deals devastated my hometown of Allagash. Chances are, it’s the same story in your neck of the woods. #mepolitics
I’ll admit it. I’m tired of having a government that cares more about cutting taxes for the rich than it does about funding the programs working Mainers need to survive. #mepolitics
Maine needs a governor who will tell the corporate lobbyists in Augusta exactly where they can shove it. I’m not running for those guys or their bosses. My only special interest is you. #mepolitics
Donald Trump is the worst conman in the world. But he gained support among my working class neighbors because they were pissed off at a rigged system that was stealing their time and livelihoods. For that, I can’t blame them. This campaign is about making their lives better, too. #mepolitics
You’ve seen the polls - we are surging. Now, a PAC backing Dr. Shah is lying about my record. Not just criticizing, outright lying. As Senate President, I had your back on abortion rights. I will do the same as Governor. I’m calling on Dr. Shah to disavow these lies and set the record straight.
No matter what you call it, cutting taxes for the rich is the biggest scam in history. #mepolitics

❌ The American political system is #FAKE. It’s not a legitimate governing apparatus. It’s an organized crime syndicate that rapes, murders, and profits from the death and destruction it intentionally inflicts. These people must be indicted, tried and fried‼️
If this is what they do to Westerners in public, imagine what they do to Palestinians away from cameras in prisons? 😡😡
Sarah Isgur: The Ninth Circuit used to be the court that was overturned the most. That was the Liberal Ninth Circuit where we are now, California. That's not the court being overturned the most by the Supreme Court anymore. It's the Fifth Circuit because of cases like this Ten Commandments case.
SCOTT BESSENT WERE YOU THINK EVERY THING IN YOUR HOUSE COMES. AMERICA DONT HAVE THE FACTORYS TO PRODUCE THE PRODUCTS AMERICA NEEDS. DONALD TRUMP CARES MORE ABOUT WAR THAN MANUFACTURING IN 🇺🇸. DJT CARES MORE ABOUT BAILOUT FOR OTHER COUNTRY'S INSTEAD OF HELPING THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY USA.!!!! IJNA.
When people say 'what's the point of protesting?' I always answer: There are only two options in life: A. You can do something Or B. you can do nothing Nothing gets you nothing. Guaranteed. While something at least has a chance of getting you something. That's why I ALWAYS choose something.

🤼Well now things get interesting. Kirishima lost focus for an instant and fell to Shodai's hatakikomi. Shodai is just 4-6 but Kirishima is now one of 6 wrestlers at 8-2 and 4 more sitting at 7-3 now have a ray of hope. It's Day 15 and 1/4 of the field is mathematically in contention.
"Political violence is always wrong...It’s counterproductive…and it only makes more problems." –Jon Favreau on the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting.
The 9-11 anniversary & Epstein Files et al were swallowed up today by an alleged sighting of a shooter, deemed so obviously unsophisticated that his escape route was managed over an open rooftop and over open ground all while caught on camera. It's hard to not feel being played...

A federal judge signaled that the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could amount to fraud on the court. The judge cited the $1.8 billion settlement and concerns that the parties were not true adversaries.
