His district covers @80% land of Maine, he won the house but the district voted for Trump. He represents a very much rural area. I can’t yell at him as he probably was listening to his constituents. I can be disappointed that he couldn’t or wouldn’t tell his people how bad this bill is.
You can call him but only emails from constituents from district! He doesn't even listen to other Maine residents!
Truly 💩
He ran as a Dem cause that's the only way he could win but He's Red Red Red Inside!! 💩
Jared golden you are a turn coat. Even worse you are a veteran. How could you support this regime - that does not respect you or anyone that served in the military.
@jaredgolden.bsky.social . You are a fucking traitor and we will make sure this is your last Rodeo pal. You literally are working for the Republican Party you mediocre piece of shit
Doesn't bode well for the senate vote honestly. 7 is still a tall order but they've got Fetterman at a minimum so they just need 6 more to be complicit in the destruction of America.
When we reclaim our country we will remember every single traitor; politician; crooked judge; hacker; media personality and or billionaire that facilitated this coup will be brought to justice. For The Worlds' safety we need to stop them.
This planet is too good for the likes of Musk, Trump, and the Republikkkan Party. I wish they would make a rocket and get the FUCK OFF our planet. I'll chip in.
I think if that bill hadn't passed there would have been too many opportunities for the Republicans to blame democrats for the shutdown.Rock and a hard place.The only way to stop this is peaceful protest and constant court cases,grind it out America!
I would agree with that until I looked into the ramifications of a shutdown.Doge would run rampant and jobs would be permanently axed without recourse to the courts due to lack of funding.It doesn't sit well with me either.This is going to be part of the long game.Until people start protesting..
There are lots of house bills filed. Eliminating the EPA; repealing ACA and repealing rule to protect wildlife to name a few. I hope the info is wrong but somehow this sounds all too familiar
He then worked for an international logistics firm before joining the staff of Republican senator Susan Collins on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.[7][5]
We need to make sure the Senate strikes the paragraph relinquishing decisions & oversight from Congress to Musk. Couldn't that be challenged as an unconstitutional clause? Congress can't give up its power of the purse. It's not an optional clause in the Constitution... and 6 months is too long!
There is always one! But in the long run, it made no difference. Republicans are in control of everything- we should be focused on calling them out. #Resist
Well at least we know who the traitors are. They're the ones who made it possible for Elon Musk to keep looting the commons. If we get to vote again Jared Golden needs to have an opponent willing to primary him AND his vote to help Elon Musk needs to be everywhere.
Did Jared think he was being selected by the overlord as the chosen one when “a new golden age for America” was being spoken about? 🙄🙄🫣
Hard to see otherwise WTF he was thinking.
The Principals behind the different factions of Repubs have decided that no matter what, they’re staying together as one block in passing whatever they can, principles be damned.
65% of veterans votes for this. Most veterans voted against their own interests. Just like Golden. I agree he should be voted out but ppl act like primary voters will automatically vote you out. That’s no guarantee. I wish Republicans realized that.
Veterans have always voted against their interests bc their “leaders” have gaslit them into thinking they the GOP gives a fuck. They literally haven’t ever given a fuck about veterans, not one day in the last 50 years. Look at all the GOP Congressmen & Congresswomen who are veterans. They’re all pos
Modest proposal: Fire the entire house and senate and save us millions and then elect people who actually support THE PEOPLE and not their re elections and wallets.
He’s going to be a spoiler in the Maine gubernatorial election. Also, Paul LePage (former governor, enormous piece of shit) is gunning for Golden’s seat. The fix is in.
The only reason he was elected at all was ranked choice voting. It’s a very conservative district. That said, having a Democrat in name only doesn’t really help.
That district depends heavily on Canadian energy. And he’s been very supportive of Trump. Gonna be interesting.
The other choice was a mediocre nascar driver who was maga and unqualified. Golden will run for collins's seat, so he'll play both sides. And he sucks. We need better choices in northern red Maine.
Well, if he does run for Collins’ seat that’ll solve the problem because the next congressman from the district will be republican, as is usually the case.
You don’t need better choices, you need better voters. People elect their leaders. Golden made a very bad decision here, but it’s not his fault Maine’s rural population is filled with racist dumbfucks.
I have not been to those places. And what was impossible before is rapidly becoming possible, we must not underestimate the power of solidarity and the ability of fascists to drive us together. Change is possible. We have FAFO, now it's time to start fighting.
I’m a vet and a Harris voter and we need to acknowledge a whole bunch of vets who knew better voted for 🍊💩💼 and not calling it out lets them use their vet status to burnish this act for stupid civilians -
Does it matter? If he is going to be the only "dem" to vote with MAGA,does it matter who holds the seat? Fetterman is the next one to let us down on this.
FFS. This is what was said about Manchin. Do you know ANYTHING about this district? It’s the 2nd most rural in the country. It’s 99.4% white. It went for Trump in ‘16, ‘20 & ‘24.
Golden fucked up here, but no, primarying him is an incredibly stupid idea.
Jesus Christ.
Because most of the time he doesn’t?
Who voted with the Republicans five times by voting against the Brady Bill?
Bernie Sanders. He claimed it’s what his constituents wanted. Which is what Golden is saying here. I’m furious with him, but primarying him is the laziest idea on earth.
He ignored the wishes of not only his constituents, but of the entire democratic party after massive social media output regarding it. This was a slap in the face. He doesn't deserve his position. We need to be united. This is why they win. They are united.
Alright, I’m going to say this again:
Maine’s 2nd District is as red as it gets. It’s nearly all white. It went for Trump THREE TIMES. His constituents are CONSERVATIVE ASSHOLES who voted for Golden because his opponent was like a child with a TBI.
Which could’ve prevented the deaths of thousands of people. But because he didn’t want to piss off his rural supporters, he voted against it FIVE TIMES.
And I hate Golden, but saying this one vote enabled fascism is the stupidest thing I’ve read on here in weeks.
Just humor me. I don't know much of anything about Maine does it rely on a lot of gov't programs: forestry, farming,fisheries, weather? Is his district heavily reliant on SNAP or TANF, or even SS? (My rural area does & 🐆 are eating faces, the crying farmer on Tiktok is from my county)
Yes, like all poor, white areas it does. And the biggest disappointment about Golden is his record on gun laws. Then again, the lord and savior of the Left, Bernie Sanders fucked it up for years on this too, and none of them seemed to mind.
I don't want people's lives to become terrible, but it seems they are intent to "touch the stove". We have to let them get burned before they'll talk to us. 😒 [never mind our lives will suck too]
York County here…you are right…he is on the list of districts dems will spend big $$$ on to save his seat…my guess he had leaderships ok to vote as he did…”released “
I live in the district too. But I am so tired of Golden playing both sides trying to appease MAGA that I no longer care if he is primaried. He nearly lost to a GOP contender in 2024, I do not foresee him keeping his seat in 2026 -- primary or not. His support of tariffs has pissed off too many Dems.
I believe he has always been a moderate Dem, mostly for his pro-choice and civil rights stances. But economically -- he sounds like a republican. He's a blue dog Dem.
blue dog dems are conservatives, my one senator is a bd, it's exhausting
I hope you succeed in removing him definitely easier to remove a congress critter that's new
Listen, he’s a complete prick- but can you guys do any better? Everyone likes to say your district is turning purple, but is it? It happily went for Trump the last three elections! Golden has had a lot of good votes too. I’m all for dragging his ass to hell, but primary him? Really? Come on.
This district is not purple. It gets the purple distinction because Golden replaced a perfectly horrid GOP rep in 2018. ME-02 is quite red except for the city areas (Bangor/Lewiston) I'd rather keep him than have a GOP rep but he is over appeasing MAGA after his squeaker 2024 election. Not cool.
He also gives off a whiff of Christian Nationalist vibes, but again, I don’t think you guys have a choice. Honestly, I think if his right wing constituency gets fucked over these policies, they’ll blame him instead of Trump.
Looks like from comments below he changed his vote on this, but I still stand by my comment. I ended up on his email list and I have never read a more pro-MAGA pile of garbage from a democrat. We need better in the Maine second congressional district!
We need to have a location where we document all of these issues. People need to have a quick method of reminding themselves about what the incumbent did with their time in office to see if they deserve to return next term.
Mainers! Blow up his offices phones requesting a town hall! I just called and they still do not have one scheduled! I called requesting one during the last congressional recess! Bullshit!
What they fail to acknowledge is that they can turn a blind eye to their constituents, ignore them and don't go home, but some folks will only be snubbed for so long before they feel called upon to take matters in their own hands. Better to face the music because you can only run for so long.
@golden.house.gov you better be holding a town hall so you can tell your constituents to our faces why you're such a traitorous fucking asshole. I'd love to hear how you can justify voting for this because I see absolutely no reason
Gave away the power of Congress to move money. Now it’s in the hands of the president. Great job Jared. Just made yourself unemployed. You are worthless now. Go stay in Maine.
Repubs passed the 'Backdoor Budget' (bend over). VOTE THEM OUT! Support the Dems: Valimont in FL-1; Josh Weil in FL-6; Blake Gendebien in NY-21; Crawford for WI Supreme Court in the upcoming Special Elections. DONATE at https://www.actblue.com/directory? and State Legislatures at https://dlcc.org/ LOCK THEM UP!
It should be obvious to all interested after 6 weeks with no united path forward by the Dems in House & Senate that the coup has been accomplished.
The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil has made clear America is no longer a democracy.
No reason to donate to Dems or expect a fair 2026 election.
This asshole @golden.house.gov
He has a thread defending himself here on bluesky.
He is a traitor, it would have passed without him, but this suckup thought it might be better (for himself) to support it.
He should never win another election.
Some Democrats would rather appease the people that would never vote for them rather than vote in solidarity with the people that did vote for them. There is nothing moderate about voting with people trying to undermine democracy.
If you haven't followed Jared Golden he is PRO TARIFFS and pretty much in Maine only cares about Veterans and Bath Iron Works which he quotes BIW in his statement about voting. He leaves out that the GOP budget which isn't a CR cuts Vets as well as many other programs we currently have and need.
The Democrat party is 90% moderate right wingers. They are the Republicans of the 70s. This is how far right the Republican party has moved and how much the American government favors right-wing politics. Pro-corporate, pro-Jesus.
"I spoke with @POTUS earlier today. Voting for a CR goes against every bone in my body, but I am placing my full trust in the President's long-term commitment to getting our fiscal house in order" Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.)
They’re taking jobs and livelihoods from Americans and making us some esoteric “saving money” line. The real money saving should be firing every member of congress
I got fooled by what appears to have been an intentional, strategic appropriation of marginalized symbols for the purpose of deception during a political campaign. In other words, I got suckered by tattoos, a cute dog, hoodies and some big but ultimately fake talk.
they will be crowing it from the rooftops
and most ppl will not look any further and shrug then say both parties suck
so thanks to this dipshit jared the microscopic veneer of bipartisanship will be the tagline on the worst CR ever
and most ppl won't know it's just one fkn fool
many don't remember the blowback the Obama Administraton got during his first term. Republicans shot down everything that went through them, several shutdowns resulted
If they don’t then people like you will be responsible for allowing trump & maga to continue aligning with Russia….
Let’s be real. Dems are the only party that believes in Democracy and can put a check on this chaos that’s driving the country into recession.
Lmao people like her? For being angry that Democrats are voting with Republicans when they should be voting no to every single thing. These so called Democrats that are voting along with the Republicans are no different.
At a time Trumps admin is targeting the state of Maine, and Gov. Mills ans state gov. is trying to protect us, this fool is siding with the admin. He needs to be primaried.
🤬 they give no fucks for the public they represent and haven’t for a long time BECAUSE most people have NO clue who their representative even is 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Agree! It’s time we take to the streets. We did it when we were young—Viet Nam, Equal Rights, Civil Rights, Student movements, gay rights. Are you just going to sit and let DJT take our grandchildren’s futures away? 1946 to 1964–get out there!

Truly 💩
He ran as a Dem cause that's the only way he could win but He's Red Red Red Inside!! 💩
I get the feeling it’s a religious attack on Democracy
Schumer was not expecting the bill to pass in the House. Seven Democrats will have to join the Republicans for the bill to pass.
Democrats may believe they will be blamed for a government shutdown, which is incorrect!
“Dems are misleading you…”
This guy needs to be primaried.

It’s over.

Assuming we’re still doing elections by then.
Get your shit together, Dems, or we will primary the shit out of you. IF WE'RE ALLOWED TO VOTE by the time your asses get off the mat. 😡

We all need to ask him how much the GOP paid him. I thought he was a Marine.
Traitorous dipshit!
That district depends heavily on Canadian energy. And he’s been very supportive of Trump. Gonna be interesting.
Golden is the most liberal person who will ever get elected in that district.
Go Figure!!
🤬🖕🏽
I'm a vet, I'm a Harris voter, I hate all fucking nazi magat citizens.
He's a fucking piece of shit because he voted with the nazi maga cultists....period.
I've not felt anger like this since tricky dick in 73. But THIS IS WORSE!
Thank You For Your Service Sir!

This likely will be unrecognizable if the Senate even passes it.
The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil has made clear America is no longer a democracy.
No reason to donate to Dems or expect a fair 2026 election.
But I know one thing: bankrupting Tesla isn't the answer.
I suggest a firearm safety course. YMMV

now they can claim it was a bi-partisan bill
it totally sucks and that Jeffries couldn't get this over the finish line
it is a travesty and it shows, once more, that he isn't up for the gig
It's theatre.
"Come be a sucker with me".

I read the news today oh boy!
