Without reference to the Iran war, Bobby Charles has released an “energy plan” which draws down the Rainy Day Fund. I’ll be interested in seeing an analysis from @mecep.bsky.social about the true costs of his proposal. #MEpolitics

Bobby Charles releases winter heat plan
Last week, the average statewide price of heating oil hit a record high of $6.02 per gallon, according to the Maine Department of Energy Resources. That’s an 81% increase from this time last year.

There is a USM faculty member offering to help community members draft municipal petitions demanding moratoriums on data centers. What worries me is that this person was apparently unaware, despite “having done their research”, that the Maine Data Center Advisory Group exists. #MEpolitics

Opinion: The advantage of reelecting Susan Collins is diminished in this political climate
“I disagree strongly with his assertion that a win for Collins would better serve the interests of Mainers and the nation than one for Troy Jackson in the current political climate.”

NutHatch @nuthatchme.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
It seems to me this "fact check" gives short shrift to Jackson's role/position while excusing Collins'. Politifact must know about Collins' propensity for only voting against Trump when it's safe to do so; everyone else - except the #Maine media - does. #MEpolitics

PAC ad misleads about Susan Collins and Medicaid cuts
An ad from a Democratic super political action committee about Maine’s U.S. Senate race tries to distinguish between Troy Jackson and Sen. Susan Collins on Medicaid cuts, but misleads.
