"Money [is] coming into Maine from Mr. Musk and other billionaires against Troy. You don't need to know much more than if Elon Musk wants to defeat @TroyJackson207, we've got to elect Troy Jackson."
@BernieSanders is right. Last week, that's exactly what we did.

The most corrupt administration in American history. By a mile.
This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

I appreciate the support people offered my classmates and I after the Parkland shooting, but there’s a big difference between what happened to us and what happens in Palestine.
The Parkland shooter got a life sentence. Settler terrorists will experience no accountability.

A 76.9% win rate.
2 years ago, Ro & I worked to rethink his endorsement program. Not just some social graphic: our own resources & picking up when candidates called at 11pm. When you truly organize, you win.
Ro was the 1st Member of Congress to endorse in many of these.
1/2

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.
