I have been inspired and moved by the @MaineDems and the incredible work they’ve done in the 96 days @TroyJackson207 has been in this race.
From navigating tumult to creating and executing the Nominating Convention according to the bylaws to staging one of the most impressive ground operations I’ve ever seen.
The voter contact numbers are off the charts. This state party is full of young, motivated and inspired activists and voters.

This article is really tough to read about people in Oklahoma struggling for basic essentials in an energy world gone crazy and one many here in maine are likely to face this winter - https://t.co/zGeL5YMjxl.
If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?
Lifelong Republican from a small town in deep red western Maine: It's time for Susan Collins to go.

The sad fact about this story is that there are a lot of people in DC who will read this and simply shrug and say, “it’s just the way Washington has worked for decades.” And I’m sure senators (who should be quaking about a story like this) have instead convinced themselves that this isn’t even illegal and if it is, it will take years (or never) for law enforcement to build a case. The swamp is a real thing, this admin didn’t drain it, they monetized it. There’s an extra layer of rot in this town at the moment and everyone who has lived and worked here for a while knows it.
Great piece from O'Brien -- maybe the best ME-SEN reporting of the cycle! -- cuz it's as simple/straightforward as it is scathing.
Also speaks to Maine legacy media's abject failure to provide readers the basic info they deserve. #MEpolitics@BenKail@aseitzwald@randybillings
Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.
Good news! Last November, we learned how much Mainers care about our right to vote absentee when we overwhelmingly voted to protect those rights in huge numbers! Now, let's use it! Request your absentee ballot today at https://t.co/SZm2tVrqTQ !
