Bold move by Candace to come out as pro-choice

Thank you @chelliepingree for standing up for #votingrights and equal representation! As the House prepares to vote again on this historic legislation, we are #Maine4DCStatehood and all in this together! @SenAngusKing @SenatorCollins #DCStatehood @RepGolden

It’s time to end taxation without representation. #DCStatehoodNow

"On this, the 200th anniversary of Maine’s statehood, Mainers should support D. C. residents’ efforts to gain the same dignity and equal voting rights that we have long enjoyed." - Harpswell resident on #Maine4DCStatehood https://t.co/mCH4EL5JkR @SenAngusKing @SenatorCollins

Amid an increase in attacks against Asian Americans and a pandemic that has killed more than 560,000 in the U.S., Maine Republican Rep. Michael Lemelin thinks it's appropriate to downplay COVID-19 and call it the "China virus" in an email to an Asian American woman. #mepolitics

[Swing Left Maine @SwingLeftMaine]

@SuitUpMaine The sad thing here is that Lemelin took over the seat from Chloe Maxmin when she ran for Senate (after she had previously beaten him, I believe.)

Thanks to all of you tireless Mainers who worked to elect @CraigHickman to the Maine Senate. Historic and important victory. PS He won by bigger margins than Biden did in his district in Nov. @IndivisibleNWKE @SuitUpMaine

Paging @RepGolden. A fact check you might want to see before you share any more false GOP taking points about the #CovidReliefBill.

Susan Collins 2016-2020: "A president has a right to appoint anyone he likes to his cabinet, short of being an axe murderer."
2021: "OR tweeting mean things about me."

Who remembers the Texan bumper stickers from the oil crisis in the 1970s, after Nixon lowered the speed limit to 55 to save oil: "Drive fast, Freeze a Yankee". #WhatGoesAroundComesAround #DriveFastFreezeAYankee

@missjennahoward @SpeakerFecteau Congrats to both of you.

.@SenAngusKing Why are you silent on this? Give a voice to the 700K American residents of WAshington DC who CANNOT VOTE! Support the bill to do away with this anachronistic and undemocratic rule. #DCStatehoodNow https://t.co/hq8kiZBkH6

[Swing Left Maine @SwingLeftMaine]

@benwikler @santos_erinm Amazed that nobody on this thread seems to have heard of the National Popular Vote Compact, a way to work around the Electoral College without having to amend the Constitution. With a few more states, we could have it in place by 2022. https://t.co/8fBobksKyd

[Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing]

My colleagues who are supporting this week’s anti-democratic sideshow should listen to this recording, and think twice about if they’re truly ready to go down in history with a President who so clearly and desperately wants to delegitimize democracy.

[Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing]

President Trump’s efforts to pressure the Georgia Secretary of State into actual election fraud would make Richard Nixon blush. Let’s call this what it is: an overt, corrupt attempt to overturn the will of the voters.

[Swing Left Maine @SwingLeftMaine]

@SenatorCollins If you had voted to impeach for this kind of behavior in January, not only would you never have to issue this kind of pathetic statement, you would have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives lost due to Covid denial.

[Swing Left Maine @SwingLeftMaine]

@DeeeLite27 @cptnwtrpnts @HeyJudeMullen @Patrice_Brost1 Good for you!

[Swing Left Maine @SwingLeftMaine]

@JohnathanSRoss1 @SenatorCollins This is not true. She never had the guts to come out and say whether she was voting for Trump or not. Never.
