Tonight in Biddeford, I had the opportunity to meet supporters, talk about the stakes of this election, and gather signatures to get on the primary ballot this June.

I’m ready to earn this nomination and take my commitment to standing up for Maine people to the Senate.

A long and very interesting thread on Jan 6, the reporting, the almost all white, nominally Christian, planners, attackers, and media, and why those same are all back in power and control now.

A good read worth your time. #Jan6
The issue, & not one @qjurecic.bsky.social has demonstrated in her reporting, is how the majority of the news media, politicians, & other elites & notables responded to & framed the attack on 6 January, how the attack came about, & its aftermath. 1/
my theory of Jan 6 is that nobody (except for a few weirdos) likes to think about it. from 2021-2025, the investigations/prosecutions meant that Biden was the guy who was making people think about it (which they hated). now Trump is the guy making them think about it and they also hate that

Yesterday, more than 20 million Americans saw their healthcare premiums skyrocket — an average increase of 114%. Tens of thousands of Mainers are now starting the year with another crushing cost spike. Congress and Donald Trump own this. Demand they extend healthcare subsidies.

Started 2026 with a cold plunge in the ocean and ended it canvassing for petition signatures in a snowstorm with friends across Maine.

After thousands of conversations, one thing’s clear: Mainers are done with Susan Collins and her bullshit.

I’ve spent my career taking action when Maine people were at risk — from expanding health care to standing up to the powerful when they hurt Maine people.

Washington is broken because too many refuse to act — but I won’t be one of them.

In the face of rising authoritarianism, creativity is an enduring movement superpower that helped us break through the stranglehold of fear this year.

250 Years Ago Today, Gen'l George Washington hoists the 1st US flag at Prospect Hill, Somerville, Mass.

The American Revolutionary War would battle on another 7 years, 8 months until Sept 3, 1783.

For fascinating OTD in history glimpses, give history teacher @eddietheteacher.bsky.social a follow!

Welcome to 2026.

We’re finishing what we started in 2025: building a working-class movement and sending a couple of establishment politicians into retirement.

Let’s get to work.

Been one hell of a year, is right, Graham.

Happy New Year, man – being someone who regularly catalogs/posts #MEpolitics events, I gotta say you are one hell of an organizer/mobilizer. Impressive. I believe you're right, this is what it's going to take to take on the establishment and oligarchy.
So long, 2025. It’s been a hell of a year. Thank you all.
