"Judge orders Trump to sit for deposition in $10B BBC lawsuit by Dec. 11"
He will not appear & will there be consequences?
When will 1 judge issue contempt orders then arrest & imprison them for ignoring them?
Or
Will he drop the lawsuit?

But we certainly can outvote them
Then they can crawl back under the rocks where they came from with the other slime

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

My apologies to the Bangor Daily News for tweeting out the full text of Lana Pelletier's op-ed response to Susan Collins, but I don't think something this powerful and critical to the public should be paywalled.

I encourage everyone to read it.

Bangor Daily News
October 21, 2026

Lana Pelletier is a licensed clinical social worker from Allagash and the longtime partner of U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson. They have two adult sons.

When Troy first talked to me about running for the U.S. Senate, we started with what it would mean for our family. We knew it wouldn’t be easy. We knew the race could get ugly.

But I never imagined U.S. Sen. Susan Collins and her allies would stoop this low.

As a social worker and therapist, I’ve mostly stayed out of the public eye. My work is private, and I want the people I work with to know the focus is on them — not my politics or my partner’s career.

But over the last few months, people who do not know me have increasingly tried to tell the public who I am, what my relationship has been and what kind of family Troy and I have built together.

Collins has brought our family into this campaign herself. She has ridiculed us publicly, invoked my children in debates and treated deeply personal parts of our lives as fair game for political attack.

I know Troy. We’ve been together for nearly 40 years. He is my partner, the father of our children and now a grandfather to our beautiful newborn granddaughter.

I also know myself. I am not the person Collins and her allies seem determined to turn me into.

I am not a helpless woman who needs politicians to tell the world what happened in my own life. And I am not a punchline or a caricature of where I come from.

I’ve spent my career helping people navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives. That work has taught me to take allegations involving violence and abuse seriously — and how much care is required when we talk about it.

That is part of what makes what is happening now so upsetting.

Earlier this year, a police report from nearly four decades ago became part of this campaign.

There was a fight between Troy and another young man when Troy was 19 years old. He took accountability for that and has never hidden it. The report included statements attributed to me that I’ve already said I don’t remember making and that are not accurate.

I’m now forced to say it again because Susan Collins and her allies are using my family to tell a story that simply isn’t true.

I’ve spent nearly four decades with Troy since then. I know the life we have actually lived, the family we have raised and the person Troy has been through the years as a caring partner and father.

Our children have been dragged into this campaign. Our relationship has been mocked. Our family has been talked about as though there is something shameful about who we are or where we come from.

There isn’t.

I’m proud of our children. I’m proud of the life Troy and I have built together. I’m proud of how Troy continues to evolve and grow as a leader and advocate.

And I deeply resent watching Collins and her allies treat our lives as something beneath them — especially when serious issues involving women are manipulated into political weapons by people who show so little care for the women involved.

If Collins truly cared about my voice, she could have listened to it. Instead, they’ve decided they know my life better than I do.

They do not.

This is not the first time Collins has asked women to trust her while ignoring what they were telling her. She voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme, who helped overturn Roe v. Wade, and still says she does not regret it. Women warned her what was at
stake. She did not listen to them either.

I was not pushing Troy to run. But I understood that if people were hurting and he could help, it was bigger than any one of us.

When Troy sees somebody without much power being treated unfairly, he feels it deeply. And he has spent much of his life trying to do something about it.

There are families across Maine struggling to afford healthcare, heating oil and groceries.

Their lives matter more than the ugliness of a political campaign.

Those are the people Troy is running for.

I don’t expect everyone in Maine to agree with Troy. Ask him hard questions. Challenge his record. Disagree with him.

But there should still be a line.

Collins has been quick to demand respect and decency for herself. My family deserved the same.

I stayed quiet because I never wanted this election to be about me. Collins and her allies made a different choice.

So if my name, my relationship and my family are going to be used to tell a story that isn’t true, Mainers deserve to hear from the person who actually lived that story.

I know my own life. I know my family.

And after nearly 40 years with Troy, I know who he is, too.
