It's a nice thought, but Customs/Border Patrol has to agree to leave them alone before most Canadians will chance coming to #Maine The likelihood of that is nil. #MEpolitics

Will Congress EVER do anything about all of this? You're right, dumb question. #MEpolitics

Re: #JobCorps I've been following the case via PACER. A document filed this week is a May 28 letter from Collins to DoL requesting information. Whether or not it's been provided I do not know. #MEpolitics

Although the Senator Padilla arrest was awful, the real story is Noem claiming they would liberate California/LA from a duly-elected “socialist” government.

The #Maine Senators should be calling for Noem's impeachment and removal. Help @pingree.house.gov write up the Articles, people. #MEpolitics

It would have been good to include a link to the report. There's a lot of missing context in the headline. #MEpolitics #MEschools The Report: www.aecf.org/resources/20...

The #Maine Commission on the Status of #Women has a new website. #MEpolitics [My daughter is a new member]

As much as I appreciate the analysis, the premise is that Felon47 will follow the law. That is far less than certain. #MEpolitics

Temporary Restraining Order issued against the US Department of Labor in the #JobCorps situation. S. Dist. of NY, www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/... #MEpolitics

Congress has been ceding its authority for years. #MEpolitics

@collinswatch.bsky.social Has Collins actually “delivered” or is she being given credit for others’ work? #MEpolitics

The effect on the local economy will be profound. The Center (again, 1 of 5 in #Maine) bought 4-5 trucks' worth of oil weekly in the winter. Loads of groceries, office supplies, water, propane, you-name-it, it came. Kids shopped in local stores/went to local restaurants. All gone. #MEpolitics 2/2

Just FYI: there are 130 staff at Loring #JobCorps (1 of 5 centers in the state), most of whom will be laid off in the next week or so. The kids will be gone (many to unstable living situations) by Thursday without having been able to finish the training they were getting there. #MEpolitics 1/2

The US needs hundreds of thousands of new construction workers and the DoL is cancelling a program that has been - and could still - providing those. #JobCorps #MEpolitics #nothingmakessense www.rand.org/pubs/article... www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

Ok, #Maine delegation, now what? Lost jobs, lost kids, and more unemployment claims. #MEpolitics www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...
