As Senate President, I passed a bill to ban the aerial spraying of glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, which is wreaking havoc all across our state. But big landowners wanted it vetoed, so it was. When I’m Governor, I’m signing this damn bill into law. #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
Thank you, Bernie Sanders. What Zohran Mamdani built in New York City, we are building here in Maine: a grassroots movement of working people from all walks of life standing up against power and greed to take back what's ours. #mepolitics
Yes, I am going to tax millionaires and corporations so we can rebuild this state for working class families like mine. If that makes me “radical,” I don’t give a damn. #mepolitics
By returning to our labor roots, the Democratic Party can easily expose MAGA’s “pro-worker” charade. Candidates like Graham Platner, Laura Supica, Amy Roeder, Nina Milliken, Mike Tipping, and many others already grasp this. The party establishment would be wise to catch up.
Maine can’t pretend to value education if we’re going to insult our teachers with salaries that don’t cover the cost of living. When I’m Governor, I’ll work with the Legislature to raise the minimum teacher salary to $60,000, effective immediately. #mepolitics
This has been going on in Maine for years. As Senate President, I passed a bill to ban the aerial spraying of glyphosate. But the corporate landowners wanted it vetoed, so Governor Mills vetoed it. If the big landowners wouldn't drink this, why the hell are they making us drink it? #mepolitics
I’m tired of good laws not being enforced. I’m tired of good bills getting vetoed. And I’m tired of lobbyists and corporate-backed politicians telling us we need to wait a little longer for meaningful action. On June 9th, we have a message for them: We're done waiting. Our time is now. #mepolitics
Working class DC lobbyist Robert “Bobby” Charles pumped $80k into his own campaign. Now, he says he can barely pay his bills. Someone get this man the budgeting help he needs!
I won four straight elections in a heavily pro-Trump district. A lot of fancy consultants would tell you it takes some magic formula to do that, but it doesn’t. If you focus on real economic issues that affect working class people, working class people will support you.
❗Σε πλήρη εξέλιξη η αναχαίτιση του στολίσκου για τη Γάζα από το ισραηλινό πολεμικό ναυτικό. Σκάφη ακτιβιστών που επιχειρούν να ''σπάσουν'' τον αποκλεισμό του παλαιστινιακού θύλακα περικυκλώνονται, ενώ μέλη των IDF κάνουν ρεσάλτο σε τουλάχιστον ένα πλοίο. Credit: Clash Report #skaigr #news
Так виглядало небо перед вчорашньою грозою у Вінниці. Величезні кілометрові хмари всього за кілька годин перетворилися на темно-сині дощові вали. Жахаюче та захоплююче водночас.

Trump’s NSPM 7 flags “domestic threats” based on beliefs, not actions. Anti Americanism. Views on race, gender, migration. “Hostility” to traditional values. None of it is defined. That is the danger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRlhAMdxHXg

It began much earlier than that. "Network" by Sidney Lumet contains a scene that discusses the issue - and it was made 50 years ago. Decades prior, Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays wrote of the need to concentrate matters concerning decision making within a "specialised" minority of society.
A warning about impregnating a demon from a different dimension is said to be contained within the Talmud — and total shock was expressed by Rogan upon hearing it. 😂

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.
