Join us on Oct 23!

[Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities @Mass_DPU]

This week, the Department of Public Utilities is conducting three public hearings on its proposed regulations related to Grade Crossing safety and Rail Fixed Guideway System in Massachusetts.

The hearings will be conducted on September 22 and 23.

Solidarity is more than a word. It’s a lifestyle.

I am so grateful to have the support of more than 100 community leaders here in Maine. Together, we will defeat Susan Collins, and we will reclaim our U.S. Senate seat for everyday working people.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Less than a year after breaking ground, Foxborough's new @MBTA_CR station is now open.

It means more capacity. Better accessibility. Faster, easier trips to games, concerts and everything in between.

And it's just in time for @FWC26Boston.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

They said we had no chance. They said I’d pissed off too many powerful people along the way. They said we couldn't win without corporate PAC money, fancy galas, and backroom deals with billionaires. They said I should go back to the woods.

All that time, the working class knew something they didn't. There’s more of us than there are of them. And we’re rising. On June 9th, we're going to win.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

It is notable that in Maine’s crucial swing House seat, @dunlap4congress has been airing ads appealing to working-class voters by touting his links to @BernieSanders — and then @hakeemjeffries’ DCCC decided to intervene to try to crush his candidacy.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

We’re not from the right. We’re not from the left. We’re from the bottom.

And we’re rising.

Like other candidates, I paid $1,000 to NHDP to display campaign banners at the event. But NHDP blocked only my banner, claiming it didn’t fit their “spirit of unity.”
I won’t pretend there’s unity when donors control who gets a voice. I’m running for U.S. Senate to stand up for NH.

[Karishma Manzur, PhD @Karishma4Senate]

My banner rejecting AIPAC money wasn’t allowed inside the NH Democratic Party event: apparently not in the “spirit of unity.” I’m united with Granite Staters who want big money out of our politics, with no exceptions.

[Bryce Kaw-uh @bryce4mht]

This censorship is deeply concerning. @NHDems, what specifically was the problem here?

I heard that speakers were allowed to make primary endorsements onstage, which is not in the “spirit of unity.” Our party deserves better than double standards. #NHPolitics #NHSen

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

As Governor of Maine, I will pass the strongest labor laws in this country.

Not only that, but I’ll do what previous governors haven’t: I’ll damn well enforce them.

[TTD | America's Transportation Unions @TTDAFLCIO]

Today, 20+ labor groups urged Congress to expand the overtime tax deduction to millions more workers. The No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act would provide deserved tax relief to working families. One year to go until next #TaxDay -- let's get it done. https://t.co/K6rIvtsAeD

GO TROY!

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.

Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people.

In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that “billionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

[Republicans @Republicans]

Vote the pro-peace ticket. Vote Trump-Vance 🇺🇸

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

[Amanda Terkel @aterkel]

SCOOP from @akarl_smith @bridgetbhc: Unions are privately urging Schumer and DSCC to stop backing Janet Mills in the Maine Senate primary.

UAW head Shawn Fain called Schumer and spoke to him about it, and an IBEW leader sent a letter to the DSCC.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Democrats have confirmed that they're considering losing again in 2028.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We built an interstate highway system across the entire country seventy years ago.

There is no reason (aside from the interests of fossil fuel companies) why we can't have high-speed rail.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I actually requested to speak on the Epstein class but the party said they did not have a slot. I will be speaking at the Progressive Caucus that invited me to a packed house tomorrow evening.

[Maine AFL-CIO @MEAFLCIO]

CSX has received hundreds of millions of dollars in state & federal funding. Now they are closing shops & laying off hardworking Mainers with just months left until they can retire. This shop has provided generations of Mainers with good union jobs. https://t.co/JpSDuHhCpI
