Bobby Charles defends himself against accusations of mismanagement in the federal government by saying George W. Bush & Colin Powell thanked him. Yikes. #MEGov

Bobby Charles says ICE’s fatal actions in Minneapolis that resulted in the deaths of two American citizens were “completely constitutional."

"I fully support what President Trump did in trying to stabilize the various cities in the United States." #MEGov

Bobby Charles says he supports ICE "unequivocally" because they operate under the Constitution.

Mainers disagree. #MEGov

Bobby Charles praised Ron DeSantis for building Alligator Alcatraz and called for one to be built in Maine. #MEGov

Mainers, meet Bobby "I Left" Charles. He wants to be your governor. #MEGov

All three independents align with the Dems. There doesn't seem to be much reason to think they'd all waver should the GOP nominally tie the chamber. (Ed Crockett is a recently former Dem running for #MEGov as an indy, while Bill Pluecker & Sharon Frost both won office by unseating Republicans.)

New UNH poll of #MEGov Dem primary has pandemic-era Maine CDC director Nirav Shah, Sec of State @shennabellows.bsky.social, and former state senate prez Troy Jackson in that order. Hannah Pingree and Sen. King's namesake son trailing. Dem likely to win general. scholars.unh.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Bellows is also running for #MEGOV, so that's probably the GOP's actual motive for impeaching here:

That hockey gear fits nicely in a carpetbag. #mepolitics #MEGov

Thank you to all the great candidates who participated in the Democratic Party forum at the University of Maine in Augusta. It was helpful to learn more about who I might rank second and third after @shennabellows.bsky.social.

Let’s pretend Powerful Chair Collins was double crossed by leadership.

In that case you call a ripping mad press conference, expose the matter, and publicly say you’re blocking it until XYZ happens. You lead; you call in chits, you stand on principle.

But no.

What we ought do is create solutions that provide good housing, can be paid for with living wages, & don't make you an indentured servant to banks & Wall St for a half century through buying a home, having kids, helping launch them, & blowing past your retirement age.

The 50yr mortgage "housing solution" Trump teased has been aptly exposed by @shennabellows.bsky.social as a gimmick.

If you take a $320K mortgage for half a century vs 30yrs, you'll pay $392K more interest, be in debt 20yrs more, & after 10yrs have $40K less equity.

Hannah gets the bad news FWIW this is more than my mortgage payment and keep in mind - you DO NOT want to use your health care insurance! You don't want to get sick or break a bone or have surgery Insurance is there "just in case" www.facebook.com/reel/2247578... #MeGov #MePolitcs

Since a lot of people think the Angus running for Governor is the Angus who is Senator, Dad probably hurt his son’s chances with his cave in vote that the son agrees with anyway.

For us high info voters, we’ll be voting against each King in 2026 and 2030.

Tea Leaves…

I really doubt the “don’t say mean stuff about my dad” voters are going to be a very influential slice of the Maine Democratic Party electorate.

I wonder if Troy Jackson will rethink his #MeGov run now that Golden is out of #ME02 #MePolitics

Maybe someone ought to jump out of the #MEGov race into the #MESen race. #mepolitics

Former Maine CDC director, Dr. Nirav Shah, joins Democratic race for governor Shah, who lives in Brunswick, was the public face of Maine's response to the COVID pandemic and also held the second-highest position at the U.S. CDC for two years until President Donald Trump regaine...

I certainly think the technical expertise and dedication to #Maine people would make Dr. Shah a possible splendid qualified addition to a SHENNA BELLOWS cabinet.

@asfried.bsky.social about your comment about national Dems staying out of primaries #MeGov #MePolitics

Charles Gaba should be the running mate of #MEGOV Janet Mills

Presumably this will also have #MEGOV action

Governor's Race: Jonathan Bush to Make "Major Announcement" in Belfast The Athenahealth co-founder and Bush family scion has been actively exploring a run for Maine governor.

This is going to shake up the #MeGov race a bit www.midcoastvillager.com/news/politic...

Great... someone even older than Susan Collins. That's not going to go well with some rank and file Dems that want younger people who are fighters.

And they also might be raising concerns about the open #MEGov race in 2026, knowing that if they lose, it could result in #MESen flipping back to red.
