This one hurts. Walter was a kind, humble and loving man…and a friend. He will be missed by so many. My dad is joined with his friend in heaven.

Bill Green has trashed his reputation to be one a dozen attack ads you'll see today. It's embarrassing.
Replying to @aobrien2010
Shocking he stooped so low.

Bill did a nice feature on my cartoon series several years ago for his show. I liked him personally, but he has really shown himself to be an elitist jerk. Troy isn't "just a logger." He spent 20 years in the Maine Legislature, including six years as Senate President.

So well said! Safe voyages Walter.
This was just posted over on Facebook by @GeorgeTakei . #AdAstra Walter - and Pavel 🖖 My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date. Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

YOUR CHOICE, YOUR VOICE | We asked our voters what issues they wanted to learn more about leading up to the midterm elections. One of the top responses was election security. Here’s what candidate for governor had to say about it. #mepolitics #mainepolitics #election @WMTWTV

One of the saddest developments of this year’s U.S. Senate campaign in Maine has been watching Susan Collins, a senator once renowned for civility and decency, embrace the Maine Wire’s sickening racism and vulgar politics. pressherald.com/2026/10/26/s…

Although I am a NH Republican. if I could, I would go to Ohio and vote for Amy Acton for Governor. What Vivek R and the Rs there have tried to do to her is outrageous, and beyond excuse.. Shame on them for creating the obscene ad and shame on her for allowing it to be aired

As a kid, I worked for John Reed and Bill Cohen. In college, I became a Democrat because of an ill-advised war , like Trump's adventure in Iran. One goes to college to learn new things. I learned to be a Democrat.

Bill Green--retired newscaster, and a great guy, in spite of supporting Susan Collins--said in a recent OpEd that I always vote Democrat. Not true, Bill! I grew up in a Maine Republican family; my grampa wouldn't say FDR's name, just called him "That man in the White House."

Familiar Washington figures have been spending time in Maine looking to boost @SenSusanCollins & @TroyJackson207. Who has star power and influence? Do endorsements matter? We look into that on Ep. 103 of @InTheArenaMaine youtube.com/watch?v=kGJcou0n… @WMTWTV #MePolitics

Are you a nervous Democrat? This will calm you down. Or not. At least you’ll laugh.
There’s a lot of this vibe in DC these days.

And that’s why they made Reggie Bars candy.
Replying to @BBGreatMoments
Both, obviously very good, but only one Mr. October. In that ‘77 Series Reggie homered the last four times he swing the bat! Five World Series titles with two different teams, two WS MVPs. The correct answer is: Reggie Jackson!

When asked for an example of when her opposition blocked a Trump priority, @SenSusanCollins cited an unsuccessful effort to block Pete Hegseth from becoming SECDEF. Our @InTheArenaMaine team ponders the process and what it means. youtube.com/watch?v=kGJcou0n… @WMTWTV #MePolitics
