This article is really tough to read about people in Oklahoma struggling for basic essentials in an energy world gone crazy and one many here in maine are likely to face this winter - nytimes.com/2026/10/18/us/ok….

Spot on @VanJones68.
If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?

Lifelong Republican from a small town in deep red western Maine: It's time for Susan Collins to go. "I am no particular fan of Mr. Jackson, but I am sure he will stand in robust opposition to the menace in the White House. Country over party." #MEpolitics

From picking potatoes as a child in Caribou to working on behalf of Maine’s communities, small businesses, and first responders, I have always been proud of my Aroostook County roots and the strong work ethic they instilled in me. I will never stop showing up and working hard for the people of Maine.

The sad fact about this story is that there are a lot of people in DC who will read this and simply shrug and say, “it’s just the way Washington has worked for decades.” And I’m sure senators (who should be quaking about a story like this) have instead convinced themselves that this isn’t even illegal and if it is, it will take years (or never) for law enforcement to build a case. The swamp is a real thing, this admin didn’t drain it, they monetized it. There’s an extra layer of rot in this town at the moment and everyone who has lived and worked here for a while knows it.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

Great piece from O'Brien -- maybe the best ME-SEN reporting of the cycle! -- cuz it's as simple/straightforward as it is scathing. Also speaks to Maine legacy media's abject failure to provide readers the basic info they deserve. #MEpolitics @BenKail @aseitzwald @randybillings
Here’s my latest piece on Susan Collins’ Potemkin campaign & all of the party hacks, corporate lobbyists, former staffers, MAGA cronies featured in her ads. She used to feature Dems & indies talking about how moderate she was. Ticket splitters are an endangered species.

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ». Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique. Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes. Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Good news! Last November, we learned how much Mainers care about our right to vote absentee when we overwhelmingly voted to protect those rights in huge numbers! Now, let's use it! Request your absentee ballot today at absenteeballotrequest.sos.ma… !

This is what happens when we come together to use our collective power and demand action. I'm proud of the Maine State Nurses Association, and all of us, who are fighting every day against this racist administration. Welcome home Debora. nationalnursesunited.org/pre…

Lee Zeldin clearly doesn't like being called out. In Congress, he was part of the bipartisan PFAS Task Force. Now, as Trump's EPA Administrator, he's rejecting his own agency's science, dodging basic questions, and abandoning farmers whose lives have been destroyed by PFAS contamination. Kudos to @lisa_fletch for refusing to let him change the subject and holding his feet to the fire.
 There's nothing "hypothetical" or "hilarious” about losing your farm, euthanizing your herd, or wondering whether your family's land has been permanently contaminated. Maine farmers know that better than anyone.

Holy shit. @SenatorCollins campaign staff at @TeamCollins207 are in sheer panic mode.
7/30 Press Herald editor admits to changing a headline about Senator Collins supporting more money for the Iran War to make it friendlier to Senator Collins at her staffer’s request #maine #MEpolitics
