Susan Collins super PAC pals give her credit for money that she voted AGAINST in a new ad.
Typical but still infuriating. A liar surrounded by liars -- the only one she's been able to hold on this long. #MEpolitics

Ok, here's my attempt to analyze the candidates' different affordability ideas 🧵 #mepolitics
The biggest tell here is which candidates have specific, workable solutions vs just vague or unrealistic promises. Also remember that if you promise a giant tax cut, it probably also means cutting programs that make things affordable #mepolitics

We asked all 21 candidates for Maine governor how they would lower costs. Here’s what they said.
Housing, health care and energy prices were the top priorities for almost every candidate, but they're presenting vastly different ideas for how to address them.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

A smiling Susan Collins in the oval holding a MAGA hat is an obligatory story in a healthy media environment.
Local media not touching it, though. In the warped Maine news ecosystem, drawing attention to Collins being icky without balancing it against something positive amounts to bias. #MEpolitics

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.
Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.
