According to this, Susan Collins "has appeared to hold grudges against people who criticized her vote" for Kavanaugh. Oh, really? And what about us? I think we can/should hold a grudge against her for that! #mepolitics www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Maine Republicans have decided they want to talk about Troy Jackson's long time partner. I guess that opens the door to others talking about how Susan Collins married her former boss who is a rich lobbyist whose clients benefit from Collins’ decisions. #mepolitics

With numbers like these, it’s not helpful for LePage and Bobby Charles to be so linked to Trump. #mepolitics

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

The new CNN poll found that 67% think Trump's actions in the Iran War have hurt Americans. No wonder LePage, like Poliquin with the ACA, won't say where he stands on the war. Actually it's even worse because LePage didn't answer anything himself. He had his campaign staffer text. #mepolitics

This is weird. Matt Dunlap answered questions from the Press Herald by chatting with a reporter but 78 yr old Paul LePage didn’t. Instead LePage campaign staffer Brent Littlefield answered by text and refused to say anything about the Iran War. #mepolitics www.pressherald.com/2026/07/29/w...

What a great story from Troy Jackson's mom: "In second grade, Jackson came home and informed his mother he was going to write to then-President Jimmy Carter to inform him that a disabled student in his class was not being treated properly." #mepolitics themainemonitor.org/jackson-unpr...

There’s a very basic fact about healthcare that Collins is trying to erase: She voted to advance a bill with massive cuts and is trying to get credit for restoring a smidgen of the funding. Dems and the press should correct the record. #mepolitics
