11.11.2025 17:33 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0To all who have worn the uniform—thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our country. Your service has protected our freedoms, strengthened our communities, and inspired generations.
We recognize the families of veterans, whose love and support make that service possible.
The numbers of people who A) don’t know the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing (my co-worker), or B) don’t understand that they received Federal Subsidies to make their premiums affordable is staggering.
Democracy depends on an informed and engaged electorate.
Good news on the Election Front

Protesters in Senator Angus King’s office hallway with signs Gave Up Health care Large banner Grandmas for Democracy
Large protest sign: Promising Future Negotiating is NOT Negotiating!! Mainers are not fooled!!
Indivisible Greater Portland Maine 11/10/25
Leaving our (about 60 folk in the rain) message at Senator King’s office:
NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

In loving memory of every Black man and woman who served in this nation's Armed Forces from the Revolutionary War to World War II--172 years total--in segregated, underfunded, and improperly equipped units amid racist hostility from an ungrateful nation. Lest we forget...

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.
And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.
The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.
Susan Collins votes against extending ACA tax credits for one year. Angus King voted in favor of the extension. #MEpolitics
11.11.2025 01:23 — 👍 22 🔁 15 💬 0 📌 0Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov is right—Trump’s authoritarian “Pocket Rescissions” defy the constitution and hurt our communities.

Today we honor our veterans. 🇺🇸 We thank them for their service and the many sacrifices they made to protect our freedom. There seems to be no better way to show them our gratitude than to stand by them as #VetsSayNo

Put the responsibility where it firmly lies—with the few weak and cowardly Dems. Stop this nonsense of no funding for Dems. There are serious Democratic fighters in the Congress and I will continue to support them.
10.11.2025 02:45 — 👍 60 🔁 12 💬 3 📌 1Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.
Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
Reverse Robin Hood.
If it weren't for the Marine Corps, I probably wouldn't be here.
Thanks to the Corps, my mom's brother introduced her to my father, they fell in love and had two kids. They are still married to this day, 66y later.
So Happy Birthday Marines, and all the other birthdays they're responsible for.
This could be a disastrous ruling:
