More on Platner. #MEpolitics
NEW: Graham Platner says he's no John Fetterman. But he gets the concerns.

“Look, as somebody that was disappointed [with Fetterman]—if I was me looking in, I’d have the same concerns. We’ve been burned before.”

He explains why he’s different.

Graham Platner says he's no John Fetterman. But he gets the concerns.
The Democratic Senate candidate said he understands why some may compare him to the Pennsylvania senator, but he told NBC News he's different — and wants to earn voters' trust.

Over a 6-hour shift as an election clerk, I checked through probably 200 voters. Only 5 tried to show ID. That gave me hope at the time and it proved accurate. #MEpolitics

*Now* they want to "follow the law"?
#SNAP #MEpolitics
After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

#SNAP benefits under fire in more ways than one. 6% is the cutoff or states will have to pick up the cost. #Maine is 10.26.

Is there a #BlueSky trick to seeing which post or comment is being replied to? On the *very old* Twitter I could tell, but here I get "mentions" with no idea what the original was. #MEpolitics

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Important information about the #demolition of the #EastWing.
#MEpolitics
The East Wing Desecrators

Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this.

In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info.

The Maine Wonk

🚨 TRUMP POLICIES LEADING TO COLLAPSE OF MAINE LOBSTER INDUSTRY?

Under Donald Trump’s trade and tariff policies, the Maine Lobster industry is collapsing while Canada is booming by overtaking the Europe and Asia markets Maine can no longer compete in.

Question: if the White House Historical Association ("mission: to protect, preserve", www.whitehousehistory.org) knew about the #demolition in July, what did it do to warn someone?

"The association ... [said] ... that historic artifacts from the East Wing “have been preserved and stored.”"
What was in the East Wing of the White House before Trump demolished it?
The president said the old structure was "never thought of as being much." But once a historic building is gone, it's gone forever.

Explain to me why we should believe numbers from this administration.

A good question which links to the one I asked yesterday: how did he get selected to run for US Senate? #MEpolitics
All very interesting. But why is no one asking why there's no apparent history of *doing* anything (community organizing, committee membership, local political leadership, even just volunteering for a cause) that aligns with the profound shift in values and beliefs this guy is now telling us he had?
