Screaming into the void. Cory Booker said he will vote for a Trump SCOTUS nominee if the candidate is not too crazy. If Democrats win control of the Senate and then shackle themselves to decorum, they might as well resign now. No confirmations. Block everything. This is your one job, fuckers!

Not that I expect @dunlap4congress.bsky.social or @troyjackson207.bsky.social to have read my “Best Of” archives - here again is a simple to implement plan for universal healthcare. I would make just two little changes:

On the job boards I have seen quite a few senior roles in federal agencies (HUD, Secret Service, DOD, etc) which suggests to me that people quit or were fired and now the asshats have to rehire because the work just has to be done.

If you are able to donate, please find a drive near you. Maine has a critical shortage of whole blood. All joking aside, you could save a life.

I know this is old. But it is still hilarious. Every large agile project I have observed took way longer than forecasted, cost more, failed, or all three. The ones I know that were successful were just doing minor changes, like to a website.

Our county is doing our delegate nominating meeting tomorrow. (Elected Delegates will meet next weekend and vote for the new Senate candidate to send Susan Collins back to Caribou) Candidates published their lists of delegates. And we’ve reported errors to them that are not fixed yet. #mepolitics

I’m ready to answer the call.
Andrea LaFlamme for US Senate 2026

As a victim of sexual assault, myself, I'm still processing the news that came out yesterday about Graham Platner. I have a lot of feelings about the public reaction to it, but I want to focus my energy on the path forward and the needs of Maine.

Mainers showed up in a huge way in the primary. That's really exciting and it's necessary if we're going to beat Susan Collins. Maine voters made their voices heard. They made it clear that they want a candidate who isn't a part of the political realm--someone who supports Medicare for All, workers' rights, and reproductive rights, a person that fights with our communities against ICE, and, most importantly, someone who isn't afraid to speak truth to power. All of those things bring me so much hope. I'm proud of Maine for stepping up and I'm hopeful that we can use that energy to make some incredible policy changes, bring relief to struggling Mainers and beat Susan Collins in November.

If you've been following along on social media, you've seen that even after the primary, l've continued to show up for Maine in any way I can. As a young voice, a union leader, public health professor, and lifelong feminist, I've championed all of the things that Maine has said that they want in a candidate. I want to thank you all for your incredible messages of support since the primary.

I'm still here and I still believe that I'm the best person to take on Susan Collins.

We're going to see things start to move really quickly over the next week. We don't know what the future of the Senate race looks like, but one thing I can say with certainty is, whether l'm in an elected position or not, I'm always going to be here-standing up for Mainers and leading us forward.

Together, we lead.

Graham Platner came out of nowhere a little over a year ago, and his first video got me interested in him as a candidate. And within 12 hours I learned that he had a Nazi tattoo and my interest in him was gone forever. I am very sorry for the survivors of his abuse and violence. What an asshole

Alex Wagner: “Platner knew he had a woman in his not so distant past who had accused him of rape. And went forward and lied to the American public and lied to his supporters and said nothing else was coming out. And Graham Platner, the man never got back to a woman who accused him of rape.”

Today is our 32nd wedding anniversary. I knew I wanted to be with Amy forever about a month after our first date. And so we made that happen. We raised two amazing kids and have been empty nesting for a bit. Here is to another 32 years!

He is still not worthy and knows it.

Tomorrow, June 9, is Maine’s Dem primary. Huge opportunity to have your voice heard - rank your favorite candidates high to low for state-wide races. Help decide our next Governor. Choose who will replace Jared-Fucking-Golden. And pick who will help retake the Senate. Make a plan and get it done!!

This pissed me off also. Interrupted my sleep last night actually. But this tiktok performer is misstating a few things. The paper focuses on mostly on the negative impact of AI for Black and minority candidates. And the 330 day thing is for one site that makes candidates play games.

Maine’s primary is on Jun 9, so if you haven’t yet please remember to vote for your pick of the candidates! In addition to a chance to defeat Sidewalk-Chalk-Is-Too-Scary-Collins, we have a race for Governor, and for Trump ally Jared Golden’s house seat. Let’s Go!!!

Wait wait wait, Platner is a creep who disrespects his wife? The slur guy? The mercenary? The guy who loved doing imperialist violence? Are you sure? The guy who pretends to be a working class common joe whose excuse for his nazi tattoo was that he's very stupid? That guy? No. Don't buy it.

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

In panel 1, a cartoon goose says “Why would the entire system collapse?” 
In panel2, the goose is chasing a figure with the face of Pam Bondi, and repeats “Why would the entire system collapse?” 

This is a reference to the Epstein files, about which Bondi said they cannot prosecute everyone in the files because the entire system would collapse.

Dear Mainers, It just started snowing here in the midcoast a few minutes ago. We are in for a major blizzard. Visibility is already down to less than 1/4 mile. Which means you cannot safely fly by at 60mph and stop before you hit that invisible plow truck up ahead.

It may feel sudden, the bile that forms at the back of my throat, the dread that creeps from my fingertips to my solar plexus; it’s always there, has been for too long. Some days I’m simply forced to acknowledge it, the unwelcome gloaming on a bright winter morning. I want their blood on the snow.

As the bill moves to the Senate, Democrats have a responsibility to draw a line. Putting actual guardrails on ICE is the bare minimum here. Allowing Trump’s brutal secret police force to operate with essentially a blank check is unacceptable.
Andrew O’Neill on Bluesky: “Just sent an @indivisible.org note to every Senate Dem office, urging a NO vote on the DHS funding bill. We do vote recs often, but this one was different. This time we opened with a picture of 5 yr old Liam Conejo Ramos, who's been abducted by ICE. Liam, his hat, his bookbag, and his abductor.”
