To defeat Susan Collins, we cannot run the same kind of campaign that has lost to her for decades.

Over 6,000 US strikes in Iran over the last 13 days, averaging a strike every 3 minutes.

But apparently we cannot afford to build more schools and hospitals in Maine. Only to bomb them overseas.

Ted Cruz insulted dead Marines so I put an op-ed in his hometown paper. I look forward to many productive years with Ted in the Senate.

There was an opportunity to stop this war.

Susan Collins voted against it.

The New York Times headline: U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

There is no longer any doubt: an American missile destroyed a school in Iran.

A massacre of children. A war crime. Those responsible must be prosecuted. Hegseth must resign. And this war must end.

Every single independent poll in this race says that this campaign — and only this campaign — is poised to end Senator Susan Collins’s career, after thirty long, long years.

Honored to receive another endorsement from a future colleague. I look forward to working with @martinheinrich.bsky.social to end forever wars and pass Medicare for All.

Our leaders should demonstrate their "seriousness" by building schools and hospitals here, not by blowing up schools and hospitals halfway around the world.

South Berwick, Maine:

600 Mainers inside, 150 Mainers outside.

The movement we are building will win this seat back for working Mainers and end Susan Collins's career.

At our International Women’s Day event we drew inspiration from the legacies of women organizing for suffrage, equal rights, unions, civil rights, and peace.

Thankful to stand together in solidarity today as we organize for a better world.

If Susan Collins had ever seen a friend die in combat in front of her, maybe she wouldn't be so quick to vote to send more Americans to die.

An out of state billionaire is funding an anti-trans ballot question in Maine — so that we’ll spend our time fighting about trans people instead of raising his taxes.

I completely agree with Governor Mills. We need to nominate the most electable candidate!

Senator Collins:

I'm asking you, not as your opponent, but as a Mainer and a veteran who has seen too many people die.

You can stop this war machine before it chews up any more lives.

If you still have a conscience somewhere under all that concern, we need you to find it.

"I'm with the veteran who came back home."

Maine is home to one of the largest veteran populations per capita in America.

Hegseth doesn’t rule out US troops in Iran The nation’s top military officials made the case for why the U.S. needed to attack now.

None of my neighbors who voted for Trump voted for this.

The people celebrating the bombing of Iran know nothing of the horrors of war. They've never watched a friend ripped apart by explosives.

They tell us that these sacrifices are just what happens. But it's never what happens to them.

It's what happens to us.

My heart goes out to the families of the deceased service members, killed in this illegal and stupid assault on Iran.

I know the suffering families go through when they lose loved ones. And I know how much worse it is when it's something that didn't have to happen.

20 years ago, Americans revolted against the Iraq War and voted its supporters out of Congress en masse.

Susan Collins wasn’t up that year.

🚨 Emergency Rally 🚨

Tomorrow, Sunday March 1st at 5:00 PM
20 Ivers St, Brewer

Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran.

She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.

If the national Democratic Party represented the people in it, it would look a hell of a lot different. Here in Maine, we are organizing a party by working people, for working people.

A headline from NBC News: Unions privately urge Chuck Schumer and Democratic leaders to stay out of Maine's Senate primary

Subheadline: At least three pro-Graham Platner unions are pushing Democratic leaders to stop supporting Gov. Janet Mills
in the competitive Senate race.

“Union leaders in recent days have urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to end their support for Gov. Janet Mills in Maine’s Senate primary, pointing to what they see as her weaker record with labor.”

Susan Collins, from the party of “states’ rights”, is pushing a bill that would trample local election laws and send sensitive data from every voter in America to Kristi Noem.

A headline from Politico: Why Graham
Platner's meteoric rise is so unexpected

"Platner’s meteoric rise reflects a growing frustration with the Democratic establishment and voters’ interest in a new generation of leaders. He is campaigning not just against Collins but against a “billionaire class,” running a campaign in the style of Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who endorsed him."

We built an interstate highway system across the entire country seventy years ago.

There is no reason (aside from the interests of fossil fuel companies) why we can't have high-speed rail.
