1/Here’s the thing about #Maine: it’s a small town with *very* long driveways.

As a result, many Mainers will know someone impacted by Wednesday night’s horrific events, either directly or indirectly.

One of the victims was my friend and colleague, Josh Seal.

There is an active shooter in Lewiston. We ask people to shelter in place. Please stay inside your home with the doors locked. Law enforcement is currently investigating at multiple locations. If you see any suspicious activity or individuals please call 911. Updates to follow.

Today, Maine has become the thirteenth state, along with the District of Columbia, to pass paid family and medical leave legislation. We applaud states like Maine that are making progress on this critical issue.

🎉🎉🎉Paid Family and Medical Leave is signed into law with a historic budget bill!!🎉🎉🎉 I HAVE ALL THE FEELS!! #mepolitics

[Governor Janet Mills @GovJanetMills]

Today, I signed a historic budget agreement that delivers on my guiding belief that the way to build a stronger, more prosperous state is to invest in the infrastructure that Maine people need to succeed.

I rarely get alarming when it comes to the cold. We live in Maine, it gets cold. But lengthy exposure this weekend will be downright dangerous for humans and animals. Be smart.

[Maine Senate Democrats @mainesenatedems]

This morning, the legislature passed a resolution commemorating #MLKDay. Hear from Sens. Jill Duson and @CraigHickman about the importance of reflection, recommitment, and the fight to overcome. #mepolitics

[Gävlebocken @Gavlebocken]

I made it. Merry Christmas.

You know it's a strong storm when the waves crash and come up behind the Nubble Lighthouse. Wow! #MEwx #winterstorm

[Maine SDCC @MaineSDCC]

Pres. Jackson said it best: “With temperatures continuing to dip, we can't afford to waste time studying the issue or arguing over long-term policy, nor do we need to. Mainers need heating assistance and they need it now. We must act quickly before the heart of winter sets in.”

[Maine SDCC @MaineSDCC]

Today, on the very first day of the 131st Legislature, despite strong bipartisan support in the House, every Senate Republican present voted against LD1. Every one of them cast of vote to risk letting their constituents go cold, hungry, or houseless this winter. #mepolitics

[Gävlebocken @Gavlebocken]

I have arrived, Christmas can start ✨

BREAKING: Gov. Janet Mills is projected to win Maine's gubernatorial race. BDN and @DecisionDeskHQ called the race at 11:47 p.m. Story coming. #mepolitics

[MaineSOS @MESecOfState]

Still have your absentee ballot at home? Make sure to drop it off with your municipality (either at a drop box if your town or city has one, or straight to the municipal clerk) by 8 p.m. tomorrow, Tues. 11/8. It is too late to put it in the mail. #TrustedInfo2022

His last attempt to curb the opioid epidemic basically amounted to “if they’re going to die, then they’d better do it, and decrease the surplus population.” LePage is counting on Mainers to have short memories. We don’t. #mepolitics

[Phil Hirschkorn @PHirschkorn]

Paul LePage says he can curb Maine's #opioid epidemic better than Janet Mills:
