I dunno, maybe it was the erratic and lawless POTUS who "ignited" the "war"? Not the LePage-era policy that's been on the books since 2013? (Used by just four kids in eight years.) Credulous and offensive framing from Bangor Daily News. Truly shameful, guys. #MEpolitics @billykobin.bsky.social

Republicans want to pass a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill — and we need to get loud to stop it: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

generalstrikeus.com The number of people pledging goes up about 5-6 thousand per day. If it was 50 or 60 thousand, or a couple million, this could happen and it would make a huge difference, I really believe it would generalstrikeus.com/strikecard

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

Federal funding is not a political bargaining chip. President Trump’s threat to cut off funding to Maine is not only an egregious abuse of power—it’s an unconstitutional act of coercion designed to force states into compliance with his extreme and discriminatory agenda.

This sora thing would be fine from Angus if he followed it up with deeds. But he voted e.g. to confirm an unqualified reality TV star to run Transportation; hasn't explained why it was a good idea; and hasn't apologized for it or said he's learned his lesson. Less talk, more action. #MEpolitics

russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territories isn’t just about land—it’s also about people living under terror. War crimes, oppression, and stolen futures define their reality. This is why Ukraine fights—for its people, freedom, and justice. The world must not look away #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine

Susan Collins is literally as well-situated as anyone in America to expose this -- and stop it. She runs the relevant committee. She has subpoena power. A vow to withhold votes from Trump priorities would send shockwaves thru DC. She's got the tools. Not using them makes her complicit. #MEpolitics

Let’s make these Republican senators regret every vote, every betrayal, and every second they choose Musk and Trump over us. Let’s make them answer for every provision of Project 2025 that comes to pass. And come November of next year, let’s replace them: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...
