Did anyone else watch the Tuesday night @thedailyshow.com episode and notice that the voiceover in the anti Matt Dunlap ad that played during the show sounded exactly like @jordanklepper.bsky.social? A new tactic in the Republican's deceptive campaign strategy. This is HIGHLY illegal. #mepolitics

#mepolitics Republicans are definitely using paid canvassers. To be fair, I also looked for paid Dem canvassing jobs in ME. Field organizers get paid $19/hr for 55 hrs/wk, but there are no paid canvassing jobs. We do it b/c we're passionate about the cause. www.canvassamerica.com/safapplyme?f...

I was knocking on doors today in Farmington - someone I talked to said that a Collins canvasser had been there a few days ago. When she asked the canvasser a question he said "I don't know, I'm from Colorado." So she is using out-of-state money to pay for out-of-state canvassers. #mepolitics

Cyclospora, which causes explosive diarrhea that can last for weeks, was one of the 6 pathogens Trump and RFK removed from the mandatory tracking list. Ultra-wealthy ag owner Trump donors benefited. Susan Collins voted to confirm RFK. Susan does not care if you poop in your pants. #MEpolitics

Delegate vote results from Franklin caucus: From Jackson slate - 7 of 9 (77%) From Maine People Power Movement "Unpledged and open-minded" flyer (available at meeting) - 3 of 5 (60%) Only one elected who was not in either of those two groups (a well-respected county commissioner). #MEpolitics

I'll support/canvas for Jackson if he's the candidate, but given the Jackson delegate slate machinery already in place, clearly connected to former Platner supporters, it looks like the reason Platner dragged his feet was so he could turn over all of volunteer/supporter info to Jackson. #MEpolitics

I wondered which candidate for Sen has the most support in the counties where Collins got >50% of the 2020 vote. Governor candidates have received the most vetting to date and are my top choices. Created this graph from scratch b/c the governor primary results by county were not posted. #MEpolitics

From Fox News: Overall approval of Trump’s job performance comes in at 44%, down 5 points from 49% approval in March. That’s lower than the approval of Biden (54%), Obama (62%), and G. W. Bush (63%) at the 100-day mark in their presidencies. I love this for him!

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

11% of ME-2 moved last year. If the SAVE Act passed, to register to vote at your new address, you’d need to bring a passport or birth certificate matching photo id to an office registering voters. Especially hurts access to vote: disabled, seniors, youth, rural, workers, military, women. #mepolitics
