Mr. M. Thomas McDonald

@zatara2010 @SotoH0F @jellen200 @prem_thakker as you are clearly from away, let me give you a little news from locals, during the late 1990s and early 2000s the local Sumner High School lost its accreditation and students were offered educational opportunities other places. This is why Graham went to John Baptist.

@SotoH0F @jellen200 @prem_thakker "Graham Platner attended the prestigious John Bapst Memorial High School, a college prep school (current tuition: $12,500) and came from a wealthy and prominent local family."

Reminder: the DSCC is not some amorphous blob. It's led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester. These are the Democrats now fundraising for someone to become the oldest freshman (age 79) ever elected to a 6-year term. All to stop Graham Platner.

I called this yesterday, Graham is going to out fund-raise her.

@UAW Graham Platner: Backed by American Labor

🚨 UAW ENDORSES GRAHAM PLATNER FOR U.S. SENATE IN MAINE 🚨 The United Auto Workers have endorsed Graham Platner for the United States Senate in Maine. As a U.S. military veteran, oyster farmer, and proud lifelong Mainer, Graham Platner is a true fighter for the working class. His campaign is grounded in rebuilding the American dream for working people who can no longer afford a good life. His service and his background give him the leadership needed to fight for policies that put the needs of workers first and demand bold solutions to our economic and political crises. The UAW represents nearly 2,000 workers in Maine, including marine draftsmen at Bath Iron Works, nonprofit employees, workers at the Portland Museum of Art, and graduate employees across the University of Maine System. Together, these members are part of a growing movement of working-class people demanding an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few — and standing behind candidates who fight for dignity, fairness, and justice for all workers. “Inequality is out of control in our country. Today, the top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% of humanity combined. @grahamformaine understands this, and at a time when too many politicians take their cues from billionaires and corporate lobbyists, he has chosen to stand with the working class,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “He’s focused on the real problems facing workers across this country — not the distractions the billionaire class uses to divide us. His campaign is rooted in the same core issues our union fights for every day: a living wage, affordable health care, retirement security, and time outside of work to actually live our lives. The UAW is proud to endorse candidates like Platner taking on the broken status quo.” @UAWRegion9A Director Brandon Mancilla added, “Graham Platner has emerged as a voice for the people of Maine fed up with the corrupting influence of the oligarchy and money in our politics. More importantly, he is building a mass movement that will not only power his campaign but will be ready to take on the challenges facing working families in Maine and across the country once in office. Our members are ready to hit the ground running with Graham’s campaign and take back the power for Maine’s working class.” “I think he's the real deal,” said Trent Vellela, president of the UAW’s Maine CAP Council from Bath Marine Draftsmen’s Association (BMDA-UAW Local 3999 ). “Graham directly addresses the hard issues in a straightforward and relatable way. He is clear about his principles and his plan to achieve positive outcomes for the working people of Maine. We're excited to endorse Graham Platner for Senate and look forward to seeing him in DC.”

To see the absolute push back from so many Maine voters against Janet Mills announcing her run for US Senate is beautiful to see. Maine Dems and those who lean Left do not want a candidate pushed on them by the DC Elite. #MEpolitics

@JanetMillsforME It is the DC Elite and their handpicked candidate vs Graham Platner and the working people of Maine. Donate to Graham for Senate HERE: secure.actblue.com/donate/platner…

For too long, Susan Collins has put party politics and Donald Trump ahead of Maine families. It’s time for change, so I'm running for U.S. Senate. This is the most flippable Senate seat in the COUNTRY! Chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us win →

@mainebeerbrewer Low energy drop out endorses low energy 80 year old....how shocking!

Today, I am suspending my campaign for U.S. Senate and enthusiastically endorsing Gov. Janet Mills. I got in this race for the same reason I started Maine Beer Company–to ‘Do What’s Right.’ Gov. Mills is the right leader for this moment. Thank you to everyone who supported me, & I'll continue to fight for this state I love

@ttagaris Graham Platner is going to out fund-raise her today...bank on it.

@thunderbay63 @grahamformaine Here in Maine the Dems have a semi-open primary which allows Dems and Unenrolled Independents to vote.

@grahamformaine If Platner can't defeat Mills in a primary consisting of Democratic voters only, it's a forgone conclusion that he would have lost to Collins. Platner needs to prove that he can win. You don't get that with an unchallenged coronation where voters don't get the chance to vet him.

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary. DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

The Candidate of the People is bringing the FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

I am old enough to remember when Janet Mills @JanetMillsforME twice vetoed legislation that would have given poor farm workers the right to organize. I also remember the many times she failed to properly recognize the First Nation peoples of Maine. Such an elitist.

This person is having a temper tantrum because the mad lad Mike Hein exposes his nonsense along with the nonsense of @TruthSlingerX .

@grahamformaine Pretty clear this race is now the DC establishment vs. Graham Platner and the working people of Maine.

In two months, we have built a movement together tens of thousands strong. We are not slowing down.

As Janet Mills launches her low energy bid for US Senate every major Young Dem organization in the nation endorsed Graham Platner.

@JanetMillsforME Graham Platner will out fund-raise Janet Mills today, proving she is the candidate of the elites while he is the candidate of the common people. Donate to Graham HERE: secure.actblue.com/donate/platner…

I've never backed down from a bully and I never will. Donald Trump is ripping away health care from millions, driving up costs, and giving corporate CEOs massive tax cuts. And Susan Collins is helping him. My life’s work has prepared me for this fight—and I'm ready to win.

@JanetMillsforME I’m sorry… you’re telling me a 78 year old milquetoast attorney/career politician is a more electable candidate than Graham Platner? I don't think so. Donate to help Graham Plater defeat Susan Collins: secure.actblue.com/donate/platner…

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents beside her – alive, waiting, and all of them delirious with relief and joy.

In a clear affront to Italian Americans, top Maine Democrats refuse to acknowledge Columbus Day:

The last World Cup played by Norway was in 1998. 🔙 Then a robot emerged who, at 25 years old, is already the all-time leading scorer for the national team. ⚽️ 51 goals in 46 games, enough to be the all-time leading scorer for most national teams. 🤯 And now Norway are heading to their fourth World Cup in history. 🌍🏆🇳🇴
