For five administrations, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have been left in the dark, waiting for accountability.
Demand the release of ALL the Epstein files. Call your member of congress and tell them to VOTE YES on the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Oh no!

I remember that jackass former governor of Maine Paul Lepage tearing down some WPA era murals in Trump’s first term.
Trump is selling off artworks owned by the American Public. Not content to dismantle America, he wants to sell its history to the highest bidder.

There seems to be an unhealthy focus on this particular issue by republicans.
For those outside Maine, LePage was trumpy before Trump ran the first time. A hateful bigot through and through.
Republican House candidate Paul LePage said he will emphasize trans-student-athlete policy in his campaign, and Sen. Susan Collins signed onto a petition related to the issue. Read more from our D.C. correspondent for free at the link below.

Jasmine Crockett from Texas for US Senate! Let’s get her elected!

republicans decided we had to change our maps and they eliminated Crockett’s district. She waited until scotus announced it’s ok for tx to gerrymander district maps to water down voting based on race to make her decision.

Go JC!

Trump’s youth support didn’t just drop, it strapped on an anchor, waved goodbye, and sank straight to the Mariana Trench. Even the sea creatures down there are like, “nah, we’re good.”

I knew getting my ass out of bed at 4am every day to catch up on #resistance events and publish my calendars was doing some sort of good, if only to help me live longer! 🤪

Horrifying news for our Country and our future. The current regime is openly embracing white supremacy. What can we do to ensure we don’t follow this path for the next three years?

From Progressive Maine:
All 151 seats in the Maine House are up in 2026. Regardless of who the next governor is, it's critical that we send a progressive majority to the state house. This image shows how red/blue each district is overall.
