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

Trump was asked about Iran tonight, and if he had any message to the families of the service members who were killed.

He ignored those questions, and instead commented on new statues that he has installed in the rose garden.

Trump Just Made the World Much More Dangerous By waging war on Iran, the president is making it more likely that other countries will develop nuclear weaponsβ€”to protect themselves from the U.S.

Grateful to @newrepublic.com who asked for my immediate thoughts in Trump’s attack on Iran.

In short, the demand for nuclear weapons is about to go way up. If you do not have nuclear weapons, you are vulnerable.

🚨 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.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

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.”

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.
