Fitz is my blue wave barometer, too. Yes, he's in a Harris district. But he's a survivor.
Let’s go! I’m thrilled to vote for Troy Jackson for US Senate and Hannah Pingree for Governor tomorrow.

In an ideal world, we’d read the paper over coffee, talk with our neighbors, and act on what we read. But we’re attached to these machines -- at least there are some good podcasts.

Had a great day out on the water with Senator Maria Cantwell talking the lobster industry and building a government for the working class 🦞
Thank you for coming out, @MariaCantwell
This is a total betrayal of 730,000 people who voted for Stevens in the Democratic primary. At the end of the day, the vast majority of Americans are pissed off at Trump’s reckless presidency. A Democratically controlled Senate is the best chance we have to stop Trump. This is the time to work together to win, not for sore loser shenanigans.

🪵 NEW: The Maine AFL-CIO just released this ad in response to Susan Collins’ ad ridiculing the intellect of loggers.
Not only did the union officially endorse @TroyJackson207, but roughly 130 union members are canvassing for Jackson. That’s part of a labor effort that has knocked on more than 45,000 doors statewide.

What if we invested in Americans the way we invest in war?
Me and Sully break down something every American deserves to understand: where our tax dollars go and what else they could accomplish.
Using Oreo cookies, we show what a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget looks like and what investing just a fraction of that money could mean for affordable housing, tuition-free public college, ending homelessness, childcare, healthcare, and better teacher salaries.
This isn’t about weakening our military. It’s about questioning our priorities.
We can have a strong national defense AND invest in the American people.
The question isn’t whether we have the money. It’s what we choose to do with it.

Very proud of the endorsement program we’ve built. Very proud to work for boss who has the guts to carry it forward, ten toes to the fire.
It’s time we take our country back. From the corruption, greed, & feeble inaction that’s rotting away our future.

This is the best response as I’ve seen all cycle, anywhere.
Hey @SenatorCollins! So you & your elitist buddy @billgreensmaine don't think working-class people can serve in the U.S. Senate? Well we've got a message for you.

Any company that spent the last two years cozying up to the Trump Admin is in for a very rough and repentant 2027 and beyond: washingtonpost.com/technolog…

Sending our brother @TroyJackson207 to the U.S. Senate is a once in a lifetime opportunity for working class Mainers. Let’s not pass it up. Sign up for a canvassing shift TODAY at the 🔗 in our bio! #Solidarity ✊

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade than Susan Collins. Her deciding vote for Brett Kavanaugh is one of the many reasons why longtime Collins supporter, Cecile Martin, is proudly voting for @TroyJackson207 in November. #mepolitics
I would love to hear Susan Collins explain how legalized bribery and overpriced underperforming weapons systems benefit Mainers at the next debate.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of working Mainers this weekend and @BernieSanders reminded me why we do this.
This campaign isn't about one person — it’s about all of us fighting for the working class and building a Maine that works for everyday people, not just the wealthy few.
Bangor, Lewiston, Biddeford: you brought the heat. Let's carry that momentum right into the voting booth.
