The State of Maine routinely elects ‘Concerned’ Susie Colling back into office.
But, SHE’S GOTTA GO.
Thank goodness for the vetting process.
When I say that I don’t give a rat’s azz if the Governor of Maine is 100 years old….
She’s better than the Poseur YT Man with a Nazi tattoo.

THAT BLACKWATER?
I believe Democrats can have higher standards than this.

Let’s be clear. The DSCC leaked this to try to destroy Platner the day their hand-picked candidate entered the race.I respect Platner’s journey & the man he is today. I reject the politics of personal destruction.
I stand by my endorsement. I won’t cower to the establishment.

Federal immigration agents tear gas Lakeview, raid Lincoln Park as feds focus on city’s tony North Side
By Gregory Royal Pratt | gpratt@chicagotribune.com | Chicago Tribune and Rebecca Johnson | rjohnson@chicagotribune.com | Chicago Tribune
UPDATED: October 24, 2025 at 2:39 PM CDT
For most of fall, Trump’s immigration agents have set out every day to scour Chicago neighborhoods where immigrants live. On Friday, Operation Midway Blitz fanned out across the wealthier white communities on the North Side where they work.
Throughout the day, caravans of federal agents hit neighborhoods that had so far avoided serious confrontations.
In Lakeview, agents threw tear gas into the street even as their use of chemical agents has drawn intense scrutiny from a federal judge. Masked officials arrested a man at the Laugh Factory comedy club. They detained a man at a gas station near the tony Latin school where the city’s elite send their children.

“He was engaged and always on top of policy. He pushed his team to make sure they were doing the right thing and actually carrying out what he asked. He also has a deep sense of history.”
“No one is denying that he’s aged.”
“And I’m not saying anything different now than I said at the podium. When people questioned his mental sharpness or whether he was fit to serve, the answer was yes—he was.
Objectively, if you look at the record, he got a lot done. Infrastructure, major legislation—that was because of his leadership.”
