He believes the BS that a million people will flee NYC once Mamdani is elected mayor.

For the felony. You don’t need an indictment for misdemeanor charges.

Time to remove all the spam filters.

I think it sounds more like commingling funds or other financial shenanigans.

Ronald Holmes III
National Finance Director - Graham for Maine

Over the past few months, l've had the privilege of serving as National Finance Director for the Graham for Maine campaign. Today, I resigned from that role effective immediately.
:
I joined this campaign because I believed in building something different - a campaign of fresh energy, integrity, and reform-minded thinking in a political system that often resists exactly those things.
Somewhere along the way, I began to feel that my professional standards as a campaign professional no longer fully aligned with those of the campaign.
I'm proud of the people who showed up with good hearts and clear purpose and the lessons that came with the work.
I wish the campaign and the voters in Maine well as they continue forward with selecting a nominee who they believe is best suited to meet the moment and flip this critical must win seat for us to take back the
U.S. Senate in 2026.

Yeah, Tennyson says they rode back after the charge, but not the full 600.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 2d

Not all of them. In fact a majority survived. Of 673 light cavalrymen, only 113 were KIA and 134 WIA at Balaclava.

I think I got that update several months ago.

We probably got 75 kids this Halloween. Definitely down from prior years. Maybe because it’s a Friday a lot of the kids are out of town.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

Wow! We’re striking out. We’ve had single digits so far this year. Last year it was hundreds.

Ours is a Bernese Butterfly.

We just got our first trick-or-treaters of the night.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

And now facing me.

Piper with butterfly wings facing me.

Piper looking up at me.

And here I thought they were offering $34 million more than you demanded.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

Sounds like you should have accepted their offer.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

Had to put the Halloween decorations back up. We had some very strong winds earlier in the week.

Halloween decorations in the front yard.

Our Halloween graveyard.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

Wow! We haven’t had any yet. It’s only 5:15 here.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

I think you’ll find it doesn’t matter.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

The only sweet thing about those days is finding out that lots of us didn’t need to be in the office to do our jobs.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, it’s something finance related that crosses a line.

Ben Wheeler @bentwhee.bsky.social · 3d

My thoughts exactly. You don’t resign with zero notice and post a statement like that without the candidate crossing a major line.
