With thousands of ground troops arriving in Iran, check in on the 4 House Dems who voted *against* an Iran war powers resolution this month.

-Henry Cuellar #TX28: member of Blue Dog Coalition and New Dems
-Jared Golden #ME02: Blue Dog
-Greg Landsman #OH01 and Juan Vargas #CA52: @newdems.bsky.social

For sure. I wasn’t saying that Labor was looking for someone who fits the profile. I actually agree! The whole thing was to find someone who fits the #ME02 profile.

This guy literally rage quit his job as State Representative back in 2024 because a candidate he didn't like won his home town in the #ME02 Republican primary.

Now? He's running for State Senate this year. So much for retiring lol

Corporate-Funded ‘Blue Dog’ Dems Plan New Super PAC and Dark Money Group The new groups will give the Blue Dogs a new way to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on their campaigns, possibly including money from sources that go undisclosed.

Three House Dems in the Blue Dog Coalition voted for the GOP's SAVE Act in April, as they raised more dark money to spend in Democratic primaries.

Blue Dog Co-chair Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez #WA03, with Reps. Henry Cuellar #TX28 and Jared Golden #ME02. (Ed Case of #HI01, too, a former member.)

Good for Jordan Wood.

No matter who you support in #ME02 or how you will vote-rank in the primary, this type of personal vicious attack has no place in #Maine. All Dems should condemn this type of homophobic racism spew and thank Mr. Wood for standing up to it.

Dropping US Rep Jordan Wood D-ME from list of US Senate candidates not pledging pro #DCstatehood, despite his still rejecting pledging,

because he dropped out of the US Senate race to run #ME02 US Rep race instead.

#mepolitics #ME02

Golden’s already been forced out by #ME02 Maine Dem activists and the primary to succeed him is under way.

#resist #mepolitics #VoteTrueBlue

Thank you Jared Golden for saving us from peace, diplomacy, and responsible leadership in the world. Trump ad hoc war chaos and bombing school girls is truly your finest moment of ‘finding common interests on which to work with the administration.’

#resist #VoteBlue #mepolitics #ME02

Jared Golden voted to just let Trump and Hegseth continue their illegal WAR on Iran without Congressional declaration as our Constitution requires. He's the least representative and worse decision maker Dems ever put into #ME02 office. Glad we forced him out.

Great time at the Can-Am races — talked with so many folks and caught some incredible racing.

We’re going to every corner of this district because every corner matters. Every town. Every family. Every vote.

That’s how you build a winning campaign.

#ME02 #MEPolitics

What a jam-packed caucus weekend. Supporters showed up across ME-02, and I made my way around the district making the case for this campaign.

We’re fighting for the working families who feel left behind every single day. And with your support, we’re going to win.

Five Dems Vote With GOP to Push Pentagon Budget Over $1 Trillion The House Armed Services Committee members voted with Republicans to advance their portion of President Trump's sweeping budget "megabill."

Video verified by the NYT shows "piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks" in Iran.

Someone can ask the five Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee—in #ME02 (Golden), #NM02 (Vasquez), #NC01 (Davis), #CA27 (Whitesides) and #VA07 (Vindman)—if they would repeat their vote funding Trump's military.

17 House Dems voted for Trump's $1+ trillion defense budget in September:

Cuellar #TX28
Davis #NC01
Gillen #NY04
Golden #ME02
Gonzalez #TX34
Gottheimer #NJ05
Gray #CA13
Horsford #NV04
Kaptur #OH09
Lee #NV03
Delaney #MD06
Rivet #MI08
Mrvan #IN01
Perez #WA03
Sykes #OH13
Vindman #VA07
Whitesides #CA27

Platner +11 and Mills +1 in #MESEN but Collins % doesn't vary much. More driven by indies voting 3rd party or unsure when Mills is Dem nominee. Surprised that #ME02 looks competitive.

We'd wait @golden.house.gov but we already know that you don't apologize, believe you don't make errors, and feel enabling storm trooper fascism is somehow a "centrist" concept.

THAT'S WHY WE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO WIN SO YOU'D NOT SEEK REELECTION. GOOD RIDDANCE!

#resist #mepolitics #ME02

It’s because Maine was overwhelmingly KKK state in the 1920s, with massive support Trump in #ME02. GOP TFG Trump R-ME is trying to excite his KKK base, now called GOP voters, in your #ME02 campaign district.

He is trying to harm #ME01 liberals & flip the state GOP with old fashioned KKK violence.

... and 7 Democrats just voted to give ICE thugs more money to keep killing Americans in our streets.
Fire them - force them out now. Don't even wait for the #2026Midterms, given a few are planning to retire then anyway.

Hey voters in #NY03 #TX28 #NC01 #NY04 #ME02 #TX34 #WA03, YOUR House members are complicit in the cold-blooded execution of Alex Preeti today.
By voting in favor of more ICE funding, those cowardly Dems clearly told ICE it was OK to keep killing people on American streets.
Pretti's blood is on them!
