I bet every Mainer knows a young person or two concerned about what's going on in America.

Let them know about The Franklin Project: "For Young Americans to take our future into our own hands."

The new group is holding their first meeting this evening in Portland.

If there was ever anyone who just radiates good energy, a positive outlook, and an unwavering faith in working with and standing up for Mainers, it's Shenna Bellows.

David, I've appreciated our back & forths as you campaigned to represent Mainers as our next U.S. Senator. Your experience & insights as chaplain & policy writer in the military helped shape a unique perspective.

I look forward to what else you may do.
All the best to you & your family.

Universal healthcare is a moral imperative. It unleashes creativity. It unleashes small business.

I often think about what Maine would look like if all of my friends who work incredibly hard didn't have to worry about healthcare.

Today, Farmington celebrated one of our own — Chester Greenwood, who invented the earmuff at fifteen and built a business that reached far beyond Maine.

Chester Greenwood Day brings out the best of our community every year, and it was wonderful to join the parade and festivities.

Good article by Michael Kruse (@michaelkruse.bsky.social) on the state of American frustration with politics, how Maine candidate for US Senate Graham Platner fits into it all, with info & details on Platner's thoughts and background I'd not seen before.

#Maine #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.

Well now!

This statement is born from critiques of immigration in Europe. This regime is so anti-immigrant, it wants to police immigrants in other nations.

The election deniers are now ascendant in the federal government.

But I’m not afraid & I’ll never stop fighting back. Im proud of the work we’ve done to stand up to the DOJ. As Maine’s next governor, you’ll always be able to count on me to do the right thing. Even when it’s hard
For decades, right-wing groups have been fighting to access private voter roll information—data they see as critical in their long war to establish unproven claims of rampant voter fraud.

But today, it’s Trump’s Justice Department at the forefront of this mission.
Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.
