Any Republican elected official in any capacity not leaving the #GOP TODAY is forever a contributor to ending American leadership in the world and our standing for higher ideals and purpose.

Susan Collins, “Our Senator,” enabled and tolerates this. IN OUR NAME #MAINE!

According to Susan Collins the United States can't afford universal pre-k...which would cost less per year than we've spent on the illegal war of choice with Iran that she supports. #MEpolitics

Unhelpful, unpresidential, scary Easter Post by Pres Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—n’ Strait, you crazy b—--ds, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” #MEpolitics
A photo of three women: (L to R) Katie Brydon, Destinee McBean-Knight, and Andrea LaFlamme at the Hike for Homeless event yesterday.
At the Hike For Homeless yesterday I got to hang out with two other amazing Maine women working to make a difference in our state. Katie Brydon and Destinee McBean-Knight.

AP article: "The Mills and Collins campaigns both rejected the idea that Platner is more accessible to voters, and both cited their candidate's busy workloads as an elected official."
'Susan Collins and Janet Mills deny water is wet' moment in this AP article on the community-oriented bent of Graham Platner's campaign. #MEpolitics
I have not seen anything from the #Maine delegation about his post this am. #MEpolitics
It really is truly remarkable how easily an American party and all its leadership morphed into 1950s commie style personality cult.
Joe Stalin would be proud.

Good to see many candidates for governor embracing tax fairness as well! #mepolitics

Once again, Maine students are taking the reins to help educate Mainers on Pine State Politics.
Bowdoin College students 2nd season of podcast Pine State Politics to be on all major podcast platforms. This season concentrates on candidates vying to be Maine's next governor.
#MEpolitics
Negotiating isn’t in his skill set, is it? But, then, what is? #MEpolitics
Graham Platner tweet: "Once upon a time Susan Collins was a moderate on climate change. Then the fossil fuel industry showered her with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and she's been a great friend to Big Oil ever since."
Gotta understand Susan Collins to beat her and this post gets her journey wrong:
She's ALWAYS been an errand-runner for the 0.1%.
What changed isn't $$$. It's that her base lost patience w/ the moderate act and to keep 'em on board she mostly ditched it. Coalition moved right/narrowed. #MEpolitics
DHS (government) Instagram post of the crucifixion of Jesus with a quote from the New Testament.
Unclear if this post is a product of the leadership of the *current* Homeland Security Secretary -- who Susan Collins voted to confirm -- or the *prior* one...who she also voted to confirm.
(Also: How does this sort of thing play in Maine, one wonders?) #MEpolitics
I don’t know how all these weird photos from North Korea keep showing up in my timeline…
#resist #mepolitics #VoteBlue
In digging for events every morning for my calendars, I've been really impressed with the number of teen groups planning and implementing educational events, rallies, and candidate forums.
This alone helps instill hope and faith in Maine and America's future.

This film screening and fundraiser will take place at 54 Columbia Street in Bangor. Please join us in supporting this event. A like and a share helps too 😉 #MEPolitics
Unlike Susan Collins, David Costello isn't afraid to answer questions in front of a room full of everyday Mainers. In fact, he believes that public debates and forums are integral to developing elected officials that actually represent the People
The next debate is 11 April in Topsham!

Stickers of Donald Trump and Susan Collins suggesting they both take credit for high gas prices.
Who did this? #MEpolitics via @aobrien2024.bsky.social
Susan Collins own campaign published two photos of supporters...and they couldn't help but include at least four lobbyists!
(They'd be more careful if they thought there was even a chance Maine legacy media outlets might notice.) #MEpolitics
You know you're doing something right when you've annoyed the editorial board of the Bezos Post. Oligarchy dies in Taxes! #mepolitics

I was at an event today with @shennabellows.bsky.social, @troyjackson207.bsky.social, @anguskingiii.bsky.social, Nirav Shah, and Jim Libby who took questions from the MEA about education in Maine.
I came away impressed, especially with Secretary Bellows. She was clear and thoughtful.

Since everyone's discussing this: there's more to the social media algorithm insights side of this Agree or disagree? #photography #mepolitics #social #media
In my opinion, America would be a lot better off with more teachers and health experts in Washington and fewer lawyers and career politicians.

Aroostook County DEMs did a great job of putting together and conducting an excellent Senate candidates forum in Presque Isle. Next up 4/11 forum/debate in Topsham...
Given the importance of Maine’s US Senate race and the scarcity of substantive policy and experience analysis by the media, public debates and forums are indispensable. As one of the three Democrats on the primary ballot, I’ve said yes to all of them and encourage others to organize more #MEpolitics
