Brava, Governor Mills!

stopbyforcoffee.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is the first of many. She’s right, every battle large or small must be taken head on so as not to let them chip away at the rule of law. This is big picture thinking.

cindybr.bsky.social•51 days ago

Where were the rest of the governors? I think i want to move to Maine where courage lives strong!!

cyborg-luddite.bsky.social•51 days ago

Perhaps she can replace Susan Collins, who may then be able to find peace by having less "concerns."

karlafortruth.bsky.social•51 days ago

Are the Republican states going to follow the rule of law like Governor Mills, or are they going to bend over for Trump? We shall see.

spotandmae.bsky.social•51 days ago

Suggestion: demand Republican Representatives and Senators hold town halls throughout the state. If they refuse to come in person, mock them have mock town halls, put a “dummy” up on the stage! @aclumaine.bsky.social @mainedems.bsky.social @acluwyoming.bsky.social

nealharkness.bsky.social•51 days ago

Susan Collins has not held a town hall in living memory.

spotandmae.bsky.social•51 days ago

@mainedems.bsky.social when where are the Town Halls? If Collins refuses to be in person put an chair on the stage . Thank! #Maine needs Town Halls for each the only one in memory was @angusking.bsky.social did one in Trump first term.

nealharkness.bsky.social•51 days ago

They seem to have disappeared in Maine. Golden did them pretty regularly when he was first elected, but seems to have stopped. Pingree did a "telephone town hall" a couple of weeks ago, but that's about it.

spotandmae.bsky.social•51 days ago

Telephone town hall ugh

katzilla01.bsky.social•51 days ago

And apparently that suits her constituents cuz they consistently vote her back into office. Go figure!

spotandmae.bsky.social•51 days ago

Her constituents believe her they do no research, etc.

katzilla01.bsky.social•51 days ago

Along with the cult, these uninformed voters are the ones who have put Musk and Trump in the WH.

nealharkness.bsky.social•51 days ago

It's largely because most of the local media openly supports her in all regards, particularly the Bangor Daily News, which is owned by her close friend and biggest donor.

katzilla01.bsky.social•51 days ago

Ahhh...explains it! Thanks for the info!

yvettejr718.bsky.social•51 days ago

Why does Susan Collins keep getting reelected? Doesn’t anyone run against her? 🤷‍♀️

spotandmae.bsky.social•51 days ago

She lies about being moderate and bipartisan & voters don’t look up voting records & Maine not known for the highly educated (!!) & she has a massive staff & volunteers who show up at every event from kindergarten graduation to birth of a new cow!! #Maine

karlafortruth.bsky.social•51 days ago

I never got the impression Maine wasn't highly educated, but I live in Florida, and it's not called Floriduh for nothing.

helen1971.bsky.social•51 days ago

They have already completed back bends for him.

pity63.bsky.social•51 days ago

Love her statement… go get’em Governor Mills. I wish you the best of luck and may you be successful!! I am not from Maine, but I commend you for standing up for your constituents 💯

jasouth.bsky.social•50 days ago

@kenmartin.bsky.social It is good to see some leadership in taking on a fascist on the issue of transgender rights as you sit in silence and await “post election polling results”.

tallyannae.bsky.social•51 days ago

Thank you Gov. Mills.
This is how you handle bullies!

Gov. Mills’ Skills Thrill

Janet Mills stood up to Trump.
She’ll follow the law so he’s a grump.
“No funds or career” his dictator retort.
Democracy answered, “See you in court!”

ppranch.bsky.social•51 days ago

Why does the King of Putin's Ass think he can speak to her that way? Why are the men in the room silent?

“No President – Republican or Democrat – can withhold Federal funding authorized and appropriated by Congress and paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will. It is a violation of our Constitution and of our laws, which I took an oath to uphold."

cmdr-bonehead.bsky.social•50 days ago

This is the way.

gabbyjones9.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes!

cinjaa.bsky.social•51 days ago

medina-vagusa.bsky.social•51 days ago

The message was basically, “it’s my way, or the highway.” He’ll threaten the funding and jobs of anyone who doesn’t bow to his authoritarian demands. We need to see more of this, but I’m fearful we won’t.

If we don’t get on our representatives’ asses about this, Gov Mills’ bravery falls silent.
