“It went on to make clear that this policy is a plan to help U.S. businesses take over Latin America and, perhaps, Canada.” 😡 They’ve got a lot of vicious gall, don’t they.

“Observers referred to the document as National Security Council Report (NSC) 88 and noted that it could have been written in just 14 words. White supremacists use 88 to refer to Adolf Hitler and “fourteen words” to refer to a popular white supremacist slogan.”

I’m so disgusted by this. If you have friends and family who have been through this process, you know how huge this day is for someone. How devastating it would be for it to go down like this.

1) Susan Collins doesn't know what she believes until she gets permission from her GOP overlords.

2) Susan Collins thinks this is all a game.

3) Susan Collins can't avoid looking ridiculous even in a kid gloves interview by an outlet built around sycophantic access "journalism." #MEpolitics

Can't imagine Gov. Mills vetoes this bill...but it's nonetheless striking that she hasn't already said she'll sign it, or explained why she didn't do so back in July. tinyurl.com/mryru46v #MEpolitics
Bangor Daily News letter: "In June, the Maine Legislature passed LD 1971, a bill putting guardrails around how local law enforcement spends time and resources on federal civil immigration enforcement. Since July, the bill has sat on Gov. Janet Mills’ desk without a signature. Once the Legislature comes back into session in January, Mills will have three days to either let this bill become law or to veto it. We believe she should not veto this law. LD 1971 would essentially prevent Maine state police from joining in the outrageous and frightening tactics of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that we’ve been seeing across the country and here in Maine over the past year. LD 1971 provides a framework for local law enforcement agencies to maintain their limited resources for public safety rather than to assist ICE in stopping, investigating, interrogating, arresting or otherwise detaining people. Raids on restaurants, arrests of people on their way to work or school, and other ICE activities have understandably terrified our immigrant neighbors, keeping them at home and away from their jobs, education, and faith communities. This is not how life should be in Maine. New Mainers are our friends, our colleagues, and our neighbors. They are essential to our economy and our community. Mills has earned our admiration by standing up to President Donald Trump. We believe she should do so again: local and state resources should not be used to support ICE’s current mission.

Very long profile of Graham Platner that doesn't explore a whole lot of new ground...except for its detailed recounting of how he got recruited for the race which we haven't seen previously. #MEpolitics
Graham Platner Really Might Be Doomed. Pay Attention to Him Anyway.
The candidate embodies a quarter-century of raw American frustration. It’s the source of his strength — and potentially his downfall.

#MEPolitics: This is an excellent argument from the Food and Medicine’s Civic Engagement Group outlining why Gov Mills should allow LD 1971 to become law.

Those that have been following my advocacy will know I strongly support legislation to help protect immigrant members of our Maine community.

COLUMN: Trump is the president who just won’t grow up.

Instead of focusing on governing, he spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence, writes our politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin.

On the radio this morning: “Bullying happens in places where adults aren’t available to provide supervision [for kids].”

I guess this says a lot about the bully in chief and his gang of hooligans.
