Senator Bernie Sanders should be enjoying a well earned retirement (from our presidency), but this statesman is as passionate as ever. He does not mince words with the US Congress as only he, with his forty years of standing up to bullies can deliver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTO3XDt2gUs
Good on her......but everyone else fell silent...that was the disappointing part of the great moment....all the "power" in numbers and knowledge in that room and they all bowed to a bully. Pathetic!
Frankly. She was too respectful. I would have said, “Good god man you couldn’t run a church bingo. You outsourced the Presidency to Musk. Your AG is incompetent see you in court.” That is how they need to talk to him.
I hope we’re approaching a point where the states that can’t get the money they have paid in (or overpaid in most blue states) consider secession- it’s certainly justified and doable. Tired of the shit - it’s been ten fucking years.
If he is stupid enough to stop sending $$ back to the states that contribute the most, then I say the residents should send their federal dollars to the state instead. Let states award block grants for the federal services they need.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been Governor Mills say to Felon-President Trump, Mr President, pardon me but go fuck yourself!
I was looking to see how my governor reacted, how the rest of them reacted. Have they not learned from watching Congress get picked off one at a time? Stand Together. United We Stand.
Instead we saw stone cold fear of Trump. She’s the only one who deserves her position.
Dissenting opinion… We're going to have to do better than "see you in court"! Why weren't all of the Democratic governors shouting him down over his crimes...and in unison? Civility, reverence, and respect for the office can no longer take precedent over lawlessness! Literal democracy is at stake!
Blue states need to stop funding Republicans poor fiscal policies in there states. They want to complain about waste and efficiency while taking from states that actually produce and while talking shit about the hands that feed them. Its way past time to cut them off and see how much they talk then
He talks like he is the end all be all King. This isn’t going to end well FOR HIM NOR Elon. The people have had it. His supporters have shrunk down to a few really misguided dimwits.
She’s caught between a rock and a hard place. The fact that she’s already being primaried by a former Musk employee indicates that she did something to irritate T. Sadly, it’s not enough to please many Mainers on either side. Fence walking is hard when you’re wobbly.
Trump is such an idiot! He thinks he’s being a mobster, but he’s so off the mark. He’s losing steam folks. That ole ticker of his is soon to be timed out.
Trump has no idea what is legal & what is not. Dating to the Reagan era, it has been unconstitutional to withhold federal funds that aren’t directly related to the subject of the withholding. So, (for instance) you can’t withhold highway funds for failure to ban transgender athletes. Trump loses.
Trump almost lost his gourd- he was the old guy, sputtering mad and threatening his neighbor for refusing to euthanize their dog he hates. I wish he’d been pressed harder so he’d really lost it for all to see. He’s emboldened- press him into showing his true colors.
Kudos to Governor Mills. My question is, why didn't the rest of the Governors back her. They all should have spoken up for their State constituents. Mango Mussolini can't stand conflict. His policy is wrong and they should have let him know. Shame on them
Because we didn’t win many of our rights until the 70’s. We couldn’t even get an apartment in our own name or own a car! We have finally gotten our voices, we aren’t afraid to use them anymore. (PS: I accidentally deleted this so I just added it back.)
Because we have waaaaay more balls. We've had to have them, to get this far. Any successful woman of the last few decades has had lots of practice dealing with bullies. Kudos, gurl. "See you in court" 🤣
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!”
Ooh. Do not bully Mainers. Don't even try. I remember when Pres. Bush had to tell the Secret Service to not engage with the lobstermen (near his vac. home) because, he said, "If it came to a fight between SS and lobstermen, I'd bet on the lobstermen."
Trump threatening her reelection pretty much put that reelection in the bag for her. I don’t live in Maine, but I’ll sure as hell contribute to her campaign. 💙
Trump conveniently responds with "leave it up to the states" when it suits him and "do as I say or else" when it doesn't.
Give 'em hell, Gov. Mills! 👏👏👏👏👏
I would be so proud to have my governor say that to Trump. Not saying my governor isn’t great. I love Andy Beshear. But Governor Mills made many Americans proud in that room today!
Love that she did it in his house. Gov Mills can keep telling him to fuck off because Maine is one of 6 states that pays more to the federal government then it receives in distribution from taxes
Big Gretch did great. Michigan was the state in the country with the lowest infections for months. But once Republicans and MAGA-voters bitched about masks, social distancing, closures, etc. and she couldn't keep her policies going, rates spiked. People don't want to do things for their own good.
I was watching Trumpys speech from the UK when he attacked Gov Mills and the people of Maine. I am so proud of the Governor for standing up to this little bully.

Sounds like a mandate to call out more!!
I think he knows he’s in trouble.
Please share widely to resist a president threatening and bullying Maine and cut federal funding.
Support Governor Janet Mills of Maine’s courageous stand against the PresiDon’T, and protect Maine’s Student Athletes of all varieties.
Stand firm, Ye governor of Maine! DIRIGO STRONG!
Janet Mills for President of the United States of America!
Maine is a state that saved the Union once before, and we can damn well do it again if we have to!

Women with courage leading!
If you’re unwilling to stand up for us like this then step aside for those who will.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
dude, you’re losing your ass in court.

Its wrong and not ok.
Out of over 500,000 student-athletes attending NCAA schools, fewer than 10 are transgender.
She's 77. She's done with taking any shit from ignorant, bullying men.

Another reason I could not be in politics.
His turf, for the moment.
Good luck cutting funds for Maine. Maybe Susan Collins cannot be counted on, but junior Senator Angus King can be.
She's such a relief after Pepe LePew LePage. Collins ought to pay attention.
Always remember that women love serving revenge when it's cold.
P.S. We also have very long memories.
