The national party “putting its fist on the scale” for a designated favorite suppresses the participation of Democrats and of potential Democratic voters - who identify such heavy-handed election manipulation with the Republican party.

Respect our desire to have a level playing field in our primaries so that the best candidate, according to local judgment, can win.

Action: If you are a registered Democrat, express your approval of the Maine neutrality policy. Let the national party know that we expect any organization worthy of the name Democratic to adhere to the state rule when dealing with political candidates in the State of Maine.

Golden just voted to cede congress’ war powers to the president. The war is likely to expand. It’s costing taxpayers on avg $42M per HOUR! They will be voting to allocate more money to this war.

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

Unions privately urge Chuck Schumer and Democratic leaders to stay out of Maine's Senate primary At least three pro-Graham Platner unions are pushing Democratic leaders to stop supporting Gov. Janet Mills in the competitive Senate race.

Maine is very beautiful yes.

Do you know anyone in any labor unions there? they don't seem to like Mills too much www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Virginia Supreme Court clears way for voters to counter GOP gerrymanders The decision restores the referendum and allows election preparations to move forward immediately.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map — clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Axios headline: Maine's Janet Mills, 77, declines to release medical records as age becomes issue in Senate race

Axios headline: Maine's Janet Mills, 77, declines to release medical records as age becomes issue in Senate race

In the same article (paywalled) Susan Collins, 73, who's clearly lost a step and seems more frail than she used to, ALSO refuses to commit to releasing her medical records. (As does Graham Platner.)

Interesting headline choice, Axios! #MEpolitics @alexthompson.bsky.social

Frances Perkins, workers-rights advocate who served as the 4th United States Sec'y of Labor from 1933 to 1945, has strong Maine connections.

Her family's homestead in Newcastle, which she considered her true home, was recently designated as the Frances Perkins National Monument.

The real deal.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Jake Sherman tweet: 🚨NEWS in @PunchbowlNews MIDDAY

SIX HOUSE DEMOCRATS are supporting an alternate War Powers Resolution that says Trump has to stop U.S. hostilities within 30 DAYS unless Congress authorizes the war. 

This signals a discomfort with the @RoKhanna resolution among House Dems.

The Dems on this measure: @RepJoshG @RepJimmyPanetta @RepCuellar @GregLandsman @RepGolden and @RepJimCosta

MAGA bootlicker and professional contrarian Jared Golden wants to give Trump a green light for 30-days of deadly mayhem...and then take the keys away, I guess?

Totally unserious in addition to everything else. #MEpolitics
