I actually suspect that they want Susan Collins to be re-elected. Ironically she’s considerably younger than Janet Mills.

If any candidate takes AIPAC money, it’s an automatic no vote. We lost Cori Bush in Missouri to @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social and his AIPAC money. To refresh memories. He let Mike Brown’s murder walk without even a trial. I’m sure his prosecution record is intact.🙄

Guard the Leaf, a Canadian YouTuber, has done a couple of segments on Janet Mills, cup in hand in Canada begging for tourists to return. She’s tone deaf and lacks eloquence and managed to further aggravate the Canadians.

NEW: Maine Democrat Dan Kleban suspends his Senate campaign & endorses Janet Mills the same day she launches her campaign.

Also comes as the DSCC files a joint fundraising committee with Mills.

Consolidation happening around Mills, who would be 79 if elected to the 6-year-term.

Dan Kleban Suspends Senate Campaign,
Endorses Gov. Mills for Senate

“I Got Into This Race for the Same Reason I Started Maine Beer Company—to ‘Do What’s Right’”

“Governor Mills is the Right Leader for this Moment and is in the Best Position to Win”
Cumberland, ME — Dan Kleban, founder of Maine Beer Company and U.S. Senate candidate, released the following statement today:

“Today, I am suspending my campaign for U.S. Senate and enthusiastically endorsing Governor Janet Mills.

“Right now, our country is at a crossroads. Susan Collins is not doing what’s right for the state of Maine, and hardworking Mainers are literally paying the price—housing, health care, groceries, and electric bills are all too high and getting worse. I believe Governor Mills will win next year and put Mainers first by addressing these pressing issues.

“I got into this race for the same reason I started Maine Beer Company—to ‘Do What’s Right.’ That motto has guided me in business and is why we paid a living wage from Day One, cover 100% of health care costs and provide retirement benefits for our full-time employees, and share our success with the community. We’ve taken action on climate and environmental sustainability, giving 1% of our sales to nonprofits addressing climate change, promoting conservation, and integrating clean energy practices into our business. People thought we were crazy, but we proved we could build a company that’s a force for good.

“These core values also guided me in this campaign. I entered this race because I believe Washington needs more leaders who put people before politics and who will fight every day to make life better for Maine families. While our message was right, the timing isn’t. Governor Mills is the right leader for this moment and is in the best position to win.

“I’m not a politician. I’m a guy who loves his family and was blessed to start a business in the state that gave me so much. This isn’t the end of my fight. Maine has given me so much, an…

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

No he absolutely didn’t.

Machado doesn’t give out the Nobel prize. She can dedicate it all she wants. Doesn’t mean anything except showing that she was unworthy to get it herself.

Praising a fascist should mean automatic disqualification. Of course it is not the first time that the prize was given
