PPH is under no obligation to publish this junk from a group trying to kill the country.
Would they run a piece by a Ku Klux Klan official? No, they would not. So why are they OK w/ platforming an org whose founder/chairman was a key figure in Trump's push to overturn the 2020 election? #MEpolitics
Porltand Press Herald headline: Susan Collins has taken a bold stand for secure elections | Opinion The senator 's support of the SAVE America Act is an example of the steady, common-sense leadership that Maine has long admired.
Sick and twisted. Susan Collins hand-in-glove with 2020 election deniers and coup enablers. #MEpolitics
Troy Jackson, candidate to be Maine's next governor, channeling Bernie. . . watch 'til the end for a bit of Troy's fire.

For Paul LePage it is a game.
He’s deeply dissed #Maine numerous times; hates it here. He’s running for Congress because he believes he can easily dupe #ME02 voters so he can run his mouth nationally. If elected, he’ll spend every Congressional break where it’s warm- FLORIDA!

Graham Platner is not ready for prime time The vile comments Graham Platner made re-victimizing women, as well as his disparaging statements about the “stupidity” of rural folk and alleged ignorance of Nazi symbolism — from only 12 years ago — are certainly of deep concern.What is of greater concern, though, is that people have dismissed these comments in favor of his self-professed “change” declaration by merely accepting an apology. Based on what? What I see — and I have looked carefully at his “platform” and remarks, as should you — are no corresponding actions that indicate how he has changed or evidence of the changes he has allegedly made. Is an unsubstantiated apology enough to gain the trust and confidence of fellow citizens especially during this time of disastrous upheaval? It shouldn’t be. Yes, his online “platform” and campaign speeches offer words of rage shared by many, but little substance. Resolutions he proposes are either naïve, lacking in substance or just plain incorrect. The idea for a medical school as a mechanism for increasing the number of rural doctors was recently nixed as costly and ineffective: increasing residences is far more productive. A recent ad holding Big Pharma responsible for rural hospital closures is wrong: look instead at Medicaid reimbursement rates. His lack of any political experience coupled with an absence of practicable reforms of how to confront the severity of the issues this state and this country face during the most divisive times in recent memory should leave all of us with grave concerns.The U.S. Senate is not a place to practice leadership and ideas. Luisa S. Deprez Cape Elizabeth
Note this letter in the Press Herald on Platner, saying he's "not ready for prime time" and focusing on his lack of experience and policy substance, along with his "vile comments." #mepolitics
Last night the president backed off committing a war crime.
DO NOT LET THE MEDIA, POLITICIANS, OR SENSE OF RELIEF NORMALIZE THIS.
He is still a grave danger to Constitutional government, us, and the world.
THIS BREATHER IS A TIME TO ACT. IMPEACH, TRIAL, REMOVE.

Now's the time to let your opinion be know, Mainers. #MEPolitics
I almost just made a post about the #ME senate race. But I came to my senses. Just so we're keeping score. I'm still undecided and I don't see any reason to make up my mind now.
That said, there's a ton of bad faith and mindless discourse from all directions. I just want Collins gone. #MEPolitics
I scored 5/5 finding Paul LePage! (He was in Florida. He's always in Florida.) Play it yourself: lepagelivesinflorida.com

Protesters at Susan Collins office in her old hometown (population 7,431) in one of the redder parts of Maine where her family remains a force to be reckoned with via their multi-generational business that sits across the street if we recall correctly.
Huge credit to these folks. #MEpolitics
Omg the Buddhist in me can not handle this level of gore. I told you he is a sociopath! (Platner)

Winner winner chicken dinner! #ME02 #MePolitics
i don't think that mills has had a single ~ campaign event ~ outside of her candid conversations house parties. Everything else has been her showing up to a dems meetings or a photo op around the state #MEpolitics
Janet Mills supporters - do you believe that she is better on the issues than Platner? Which ones? #MEpolitics
The art of the deal.
#mepolitics
Trump Truth Social post about suspending the bombing of Iran for two weeks. Trump states that Pakistan was a mediator in the deal. It is unclear if Iran has actually acknowledged this deal to open the strait.
Trump suspends his threatened attack on Iran for two weeks pending the opening of the strait of Hormuz. The world is more unstable than ever before and it’s almost entirely because of this man and his sycophant followers. I cannot wait for Susan Collins to be replaced. #mepolitics
Everything still stands, Trump is a criminal, danger to the entire world, and must be removed.
#resist #mepolitics #VoteBlue
Lisa Murkowski tweet: The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran. This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home. The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.
Not Susan Collins. #MEpolitics
Justifiable question. My point is the moment calls, this is no time for “regular order,” Senators should be screaming in the streets and revolting against a king. So ought the House.
Fast track impeach, trial, and removal. “You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one.”
