🚨 New independent poll 🚨

I completely agree with Governor Mills. We need to nominate the most electable candidate!

Senator Collins:

I'm asking you, not as your opponent, but as a Mainer and a veteran who has seen too many people die.

You can stop this war machine before it chews up any more lives.

If you still have a conscience somewhere under all that concern, we need you to find it.

"I'm with the veteran who came back home."

Maine is home to one of the largest veteran populations per capita in America.

Hegseth doesn’t rule out US troops in Iran The nation’s top military officials made the case for why the U.S. needed to attack now.

None of my neighbors who voted for Trump voted for this.

The people celebrating the bombing of Iran know nothing of the horrors of war. They've never watched a friend ripped apart by explosives.

They tell us that these sacrifices are just what happens. But it's never what happens to them.

It's what happens to us.

My heart goes out to the families of the deceased service members, killed in this illegal and stupid assault on Iran.

I know the suffering families go through when they lose loved ones. And I know how much worse it is when it's something that didn't have to happen.

20 years ago, Americans revolted against the Iraq War and voted its supporters out of Congress en masse.

Susan Collins wasn’t up that year.

🚨 Emergency Rally 🚨

Tomorrow, Sunday March 1st at 5:00 PM
20 Ivers St, Brewer

Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran.

She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.

The bombing of Iran will not in the slightest improve the lives of a single American.

This war must end. Our Senators and Congressman must not know a moment’s peace until this ends.

If the national Democratic Party represented the people in it, it would look a hell of a lot different. Here in Maine, we are organizing a party by working people, for working people.

β€œUnion leaders in recent days have urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to end their support for Gov. Janet Mills in Maine’s Senate primary, pointing to what they see as her weaker record with labor.”

Susan Collins, from the party of β€œstates’ rights”, is pushing a bill that would trample local election laws and send sensitive data from every voter in America to Kristi Noem.

A headline from Politico: Why Graham
Platner's meteoric rise is so unexpected

A headline from Politico: Why Graham Platner's meteoric rise is so unexpected

"Platner’s meteoric rise reflects a growing frustration with the Democratic establishment and voters’ interest in a new generation of leaders. He is campaigning not just against Collins but against a β€œbillionaire class,” running a campaign in the style of Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who endorsed him."

We built an interstate highway system across the entire country seventy years ago.

There is no reason (aside from the interests of fossil fuel companies) why we can't have high-speed rail.

Right, left, Republican, Democrat β€” we’re all being exploited by the same small group of people running the world for their benefit.

The Epstein files show that in glaring fashion.

And 30 more scheduled for today.

Susan Collins's husband's lobbying firm received over $50 million in federal contracts, with tens of millions of dollars from agencies Susan Collins oversees.

It's got to be one of the great coincidences of American history.

Listen to this roomful of Mainers talk about their health insurance.

β€œThey make you feel like beggars.”

For-profit health insurance cannot be reformed.

Medicare for All.

Ten months to rule that something blatantly constitutional and illegal was, in fact, unconstitutional and illegal.

This is not a sign of a healthy system.

Today's Supreme Court tariff decision absolutely CANNOT become another $175 billion giveaway to corporations.

They hiked prices due to Trump's illegal tariffs, and WE paid the price.

Any tariff refunds belong to consumers & small businesses – not corporations w record profits.

Susan Collins wants to make it harder to vote.

She just bailed out Trump and cosponsored the "SAVE Act.” Under this terrible bill, if you get married and change your name, or if you can't find your passport β€” you could be turned away from the polls.

As I was saying before a fish rudely interrupted:

The military industrial complex has done nothing to improve the lives of working- and middle-class Mainers. Quite the opposite.

The world has lost a true giant.

Rev. Jesse Jackson understood the power of organizing, the power of movement politics, and the power of people. We look to his legacy as we take lessons from the civil rights movement for the political perils of today.
