Introvert in an extroverted world. Mainer. Politico. Believer in Democracy. And winning.

Janet Mills told Trump to his face, "We'll see you in court." Hannah Pingree will do the same. Bringing integrity back to government begins at the grassroots level. That's why I support Hannah Pingree for governor. If you're from Maine, please do the same. If you're not, give a few bucks to help out.

Tony Hinchcliffe, who is one of the speakers at Donald Trump’s rally at MSG, felt the need to hurl a racist insult at the people of Puerto Rico: “there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

As a Puerto Rican, I am tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage but doing so would be an insult to garbage. When casting their ballots at the voting booth, Latinos should never forget the racism that Donald Trump seems all too willing to platform.

Aurora borealis is active over northern Maine tonight! This was taken from an NWS employee over Castle Hill a few minutes ago. #NorthernLights

Proud partner moment: in 2019, Ron was in LA doing some initial work on this. Later he got the opportunity to co-write the final episode. Story coming to life collaboratively is amazing. The final product is stunning. Can’t wait to see the credits roll! https://t.co/A8ktsSsEoi

I feel like House Republicans in DC are going to show us today just how chaotic their “governing style” will be…all in the service of their own egos and radicalized agenda.

Are we really trusting the Twitter guy to put a chip in our heads?

[Rahna Epting @rahnamepting]

I often hear people say they don't know enough about politics to engage. This idea not only gives a bit too much credit to some in politics, but is simply not true. If you know you want to do good by your neighbor, you have all the knowledge necessary to get involved.

A few clouds are moving in but we've got an aurora tonight! In clear, dark areas you might be able to see it tonight, the further north the better. Remember, aurora are highly location dependent and go through strong and weaker periods throughout the night. Best of luck! #aurora

Tomorrow I am voting for the historic Inflation Reduction Act.

Here are a few reasons why 🧵

The FBI can’t execute a search warrant unless a federal judge agrees that investigators are likely to find evidence of criminal conduct.

How abortion access and Roe v. Wade gave sexual assault survivor Debbie Millman another way out https://t.co/OuCblYfV6W

[American Progress @amprog]

But this is not just an outrageous violation of women’s rights, autonomy, & physical health; it is also a direct attack on women’s advancement in America.

Under Roe, women’s educational attainment & earnings have increased while maternal mortality and child poverty have fallen.

Ime Udoka ends his press conference by reminding everyone listening that what happened in Uvalde is unacceptable, and that we cannot allow ourselves to grow numb to it or to move on from it.

"Change is needed," he accurately stated.

[Mike Baker @ByMikeBaker]

NEW: Documents show that Uvalde had done extensive preparations for active shooters, including a training that brought together officers from five agencies who roamed hallways with their guns drawn, role-playing how to stop a killer.

It didn’t help.

Here’s how ‘gut instincts’ work for one state trooper. If you don’t look and smile, that’s suspicious. If you look too long, that’s also suspicious.

ELEVENTH minority woman Biden nominee Susan Collins has tried to block and the *seventh* AAPI woman she's voted against or vowed to vote down.

Collins has sided against almost as many female AAPI Biden noms in 11 months as ALL her 'no' votes in 12 yrs of Bush/Trump! #mepolitics
