Nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have donated to reelect Susan Collins.

THIS is what the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

@mainepilled Without inherited homes my family would have been pushed out ages ago. One of the reason a loan from a parent to buy a house seems like nbd. Who can afford a home on the coast if not a millionare?

[Tracy @Jematral]

@mainepilled As a multi-geneation Bar Harbor resident I gotta push back on this. As a local we have to work our ass off to cater to the rich summer residents and tourists. My family are lobstermen, I'm a waitress. We can all barley afford to live here.

@NilesGApol She's been our senator for like 30 years. We know who he is running against. No need to be obtuse.

[Tracy @Jematral]

People think this a gotcha but most Maine Dems have voted for Collins at one point. In 2014 she got like 69 percent of the vote. Being the head of appropriations has done her a lot of good.

[SpideyTerry @SpideyTerry]

Platner was so upset about Susan Collins serving more than two terms that he voted for her in three different elections.

Y'know, that might come up in the general, though perhaps not as much as a certain tattoo, the abuse allegations, and whatever else drops.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

She doesn’t understand the difference between adults sexting each other and child sex trafficking?

Is she ok?

@alschade @aobrien2010 Bluesky must be shocked.

@ME_Politics_ The primary is not a suggestion.

[Tracy @Jematral]

@ohpwearhaus @pdkoenig A lot more people in Maine subscribe to The Bangor Daily or the Portland Press Herald than a Washington Paper.

[Marcus Stanley @MarcusMStanley]

Reminder that nobody has to speculate on whether Graham Platner is a Nazi from a muddy tattoo he got to look like a badass when he was a 22 year old Marine.

We have years of his anonymous Reddit posts - like this one - before he ever got into politics. They are consistently anti-fascist and anti-Nazi.

In fact the original Republican attack line on him was that he was excessively Antifa. It was only after that didn't work that they switched to the "tattoo nazi" line.

[Peter Brake @PeterRB1965]

@aseitzwald Pundits really underestimate how pissed off voters will be to see the Dem establishment work so hard & succeed in pushing Platner out. It will confirm to progressives there's no point in turning out because the DNC leadership is firmly controlled by Israel supporting centrists.

[Tracy @Jematral]

@aseitzwald If the national media and Democratic machine push Platner out, against the will of the voters, I will just write him in. The primary is not a suggestion for D.C. it is our choice.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

All across this state, working Mainers are rising. Tomorrow, on June 9th, we have a shot to reclaim what's ours. Let's take it.

I'm Troy Jackson, and I ask for your vote.

@Genevieve_207 @washingtonpost Wish you had given this interview to the BDN so it would be more accessible to the voters of Maine.

[Michael @Socdem_Michael]

He is a fucking combat veteran.

Why are the anti-Platner people pretending he’s some rich trust-fund kid when he’s literally been on the front lines of combat? Lmao

Let’s send young men to an immoral war and smear them when they come home.

[John F. Morton @musepwt]

We like him because he highlights perfectly something Mainers have known for decades; a lot of "liberals", especially those that we have to deal with as summer people and who Mills has always represented over Mainers, are just as and sometimes more reactionary than Trump voters.

[Tracy @Jematral]

@ryangrim I was there. We were loud.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

‼️ Sen. Susan Collins failed to report up to $395,000 in stock trades.

- 24 transactions in Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase & CVS from 2013-2018 weren’t disclosed violating the STOCK Act she helped pass.

- Even a Pfizer purchase earlier this year missed the deadline.
