Be good to each other. Start good trouble.

Paul LePage cut revenue sharing as governor, and your property taxes went up because of it. Meanwhile, he and his family were collecting a homestead exemption on their Florida home, a tax break that only applies if Florida is your permanent residence.

Count on James Myall @jamesxmyall.bsky.social to bring light to the backstories on economic issues facing Mainers.

"Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” cuts $2.7 billion from MaineCare, and 28,152 Mainers will lose coverage."

So many of these cuts take effect *after* the midterms.

Paul LePage violated federal law. He was required to file a financial disclosure with Congress, and he simply didn't, until he got caught. He's calling it a "simple oversight." Really? Mainers don't get to call it an oversight when they miss a filing deadline. Why should he?

Mainers are tired of the negativity, and so are my kids. I'm running to build more housing and lower health care costs. That's the conversation Maine people want to have. Check out our new ad, "Time-Out".

Did you catch this at the debate? Paul LePage said he wants America to "go in and finish it" in Iran. Finish what, exactly? I'll say it plainly: I will never support boots on the ground in Iran.

Paul LePage slashed municipal revenue sharing by 60% as governor, costing Maine towns over $585 million and driving up property taxes statewide. Today I stood with former Gardiner Mayor Thom Harnett to talk about fixing it. That's the real cost of LePage's record, and I'm running to fix it.

Holy cow if only there existed some independent entity that could assess whether what Susan Collins and her team say is true or not. (It's not.)

What absolute junk @randybillings.bsky.social / @pressherald.com. Running errands for a flailing, corrupt politician. Aren't you embarrassed? #MEpolitics

Here's a nearly 10-minute supercut of Troy Jackson taking it to Susan Collins during their debate tonight, including Jackson telling her "you can't eat road salt" and "Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

For folks who might want a reminder of Paul LePage's time as governor #mepolitics:

- An anemic economy
- Cutting and blocking health care for tens of thousands
- Keeping people in poverty unnecessarily
- Shortchanging towns and schools by $2 billion

Paul LePage’s record: What Maine lost
LePage blocked policies approved by voters, cut services for families, shifted costs onto towns and households, and left federal funding unclaimed or unspent.

Susan Collins cannot be trusted with voting on our next Supreme Court Justice.

She voted for the three justices that overturned Roe v. Wade. And she's going to do the same damn thing if Alito retires unless we win this election.

Of all the politicians Navatek’s CEO courted, Susan Collins was its most important patron.

The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Your heating oil is $7 a gallon because of the Iran war. Paul LePage can't decide if he's for it or against it.

We lost track during the debate. So we went back and counted…
