Quick count, 39 emails and texts looking for campaign contributions today. Didn't both to look at the spam files.

Vote Blue if you don’t want Christian nationalism as an American government.

Saw one of Trump's taxpayer paid campaign ads. Said he'd run the fascists out of the government. Great, when does this bastard get shitcanned?

Trump regularly brags that he's the only President known to donate his salary. Not true, Herbert Hoover and JFK did that as well. They also didn't use the office to rake in billions on cryptocurrency and stock trades.

Trump claims gas prices were higher under Joe Biden. For a short period in 2022, that's true. In Biden's full term gas was >$4 for 155-160 days. In less than two years Trump has matched that. And it will be substantially more before he's done. Also, the Biden prices weren't his fault, Trump's are

For #Maine voters, Susan Collins voted against any investigation.

A vote for Susan Collins is a vote for more anti-choice judges in the Federal courts. Trump appoints them, Collins rubber stamps them.

The phrase, "It was a Schmitt show" needs to be worked into political reporting and analysis on a regular bsis.

They may not be the worst, but Missouri's Schmidt and Hawley are definitely in the running for the most embarrassing Senate delegation. Although Tommy Tuberville may be embarrassing enough for two.

When Democrats take the House in November, they should bring Jack Smith back to testify. Then Articles of Impeachment should be filed against Judge Aileen Cannon.

Just got a text soliciting support for Susan Collins here in Maine. That means a contribution to Troy Jackson's campaign. She ain't My Susan.

Trump shouts that the U.S. economy is doing great. Billionaires padding their bank accounts and the stock market are not the economy for the vast majority of Americans. Farmers and truck drivers are taking a beating, food banks are stretched to the limit and healthcare costs are soaring. #VoteBlue

Trump wants Artificial Intelligence to be called Super Intelligence. How about if we do something more accurate, changing the name of the Department of Justice the Department of Inhustice?

Every time Trump posts an AI generated fantasy as a general, a war hero or an everyday member of the military, it's an affront to everyone who honorably served this country.

Trump's $17 billion Iowa steel mill announcement = his first term Foxconn multi-billion $ deal. How did that turn out? This will be the same.

The devastating changes passed in the Big Ugly Bill that start taking place next Jan (by design AFTER the midterms), the 70% increase in home heating oil cost, the reduction in food assistance and crisis at the nation's food banks is *not* something for which Americans are prepared. #MEpolitics

Trump's campaign ads shouldn't say, "Paid for by the US government". Should say, "You're paying for this, suckers".

You have to ask how #Texas can send Ken Paxton to the Senate: - He cheated on his clients - He cheated on his financial disclosures - He cheated on the State of Texas - He cheated on his wife and family Why would anyone think he'll stop cheating if he's elected to the Senate.

Trump claims oil and grocery prices dropped amid Iran War. Are you paying less for gas? Are you able to put more in your grocery cart then paying less at checkout? Can even MAGA be stupid enough to believe this BS?

Trump claims record low poverty in the US at the President's Cup. Funny, that's not what I'm hearing when I drop stuff off at the local food pantry.

When Democrats take over the House, one of the things I want to see in the first 6 months are Epstein hearings with a nice subpoena for Melania. Let her bring a translator. There's no Executive Privilege for FLOTUS.

In the #Texas race for U.S. Senate, grifter and adulterer Paxton is trying to make an issue of the fact that a higher % of Talarico's campaign funds are coming from outside Texas. Typical deception, he's not counting the tens of millions in dark money flowing in to support him. Crooked as always

The Iran War is the proof. We pay through the nose for gas, diesel and heating oil while the gas & oil companies rake in record profits. How much you wanna bet that Trump and his spawn bought up oil stocks just before the Trump/Netanyahu War?

Headline: "Trumps said he would campaign in midterm battlegrounds". Gee, I hope he comes to Maine to campaign for Susan Collins and Paul LePage. Maybe a stop in Iowa for Ashley Hinson and Marionette (the perfect puppet) Miller Meeks.
