Susan Collins is just a rubber stamp for the wealthy elite in this country. Working Mainers need a Senator who will fight for Medicare For All, not one who helps gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

‘This was a righteous case. A holy war’: the lawyer who took on Meta and Google – and won
When Mark Lanier and his young client Kaley faced the tech giants in an LA courtroom earlier this year, it seemed a bigger battle than David v Goliath. But they scored a landmark victory, proving that the social media giants had created ‘addiction machines’ that harmed mental health. How did they pull it off?

This wouldn't be news if Maine media did their job and reported that e.g. Susan Collins accepted the endorsement of Maine's far-right anti-abortion org in 2020 and gave a speech at the founder's retirement party in 2025. She's not pro-choice; probably never was. tinyurl.com/yysra6ax #MEpolitics

“In trying to so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all. This is a movement about us, about the far too many, working far too hard and struggling far too much.” ~ Graham Platner #MEpolitics NYT:

Tim BalkReporting from Maine

Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, said national pundits and members of the political establishment “keep looking for that one story, that one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by.”

He added: “In trying to so hard to understand me, they failed to understand that this is not about me at all. This is a movement about us, about the far too many, working far too hard and struggling far too much.”

I used to think a fifth-generation logger from Allagash had no place in our political system. Bernie Sanders helped me see otherwise. He showed it was possible to stand up to power and influence, fight like hell for everyday people, and win. Senator, your endorsement means the world. #mepolitics

Wouldn’t a powerful Appropriations Chair grind the admin to a halt until she could metaphorically “bring home the bacon” for poor kids or does that only apply to big corp contracts with photo ops? Asking for a teacher friend who feeds some of these kids out of pocket. #MESen #mepolitics #VoteBlue

This Harvard professor who kept a PRIVATE OFFICE for Epstein ON CAMPUS — which Epstein used over 40 times, probably to prey on college girls — STILL HAS JOB AT HARVARD
Nowak maintained a close personal and financial relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. 35.
In response to the revelations of Epstein's support of Nowak and his lab (the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics), Nowak was suspended from supervising undergraduate research for two years, and the institute was permanently closed. 36][37! Harvard's review, leading
to the suspension, uncovered that Epstein had maintained access to a personal office in Nowak's lab for 9 years, even after his conviction for sex crimes, and used the office over 40 times,
"typically accompanied by young
women serving as his assistants". 38!
In 2023, Harvard lifted the sanctions against Nowak, and he remains on the faculty, jointly appointed in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.

[P] Bad Bunny's halftime show featured farmers, a pickup truck, people drinking and having a party, fireworks, the American flag and him saying "God bless America." Good thing country music fans had the TPUSA show so that they could see anything they could relate to.
