It’s like he said from the beginning. We’re not from the right or the left. We’re from the bottom, and we are rising!

Don't just be upset with Bill Green for his elitist comments about former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson and Green's disdain for everyday people. Remember, this is the messaging Collins has chosen to finish out this race. Her campaign produced the ad. Green is a surrogate. #mepolitics

She’s been embracing racism ever since Trump called the DoJ off.

Steve Collins@stevecollinsyji.bsky.social

One of the saddest developments of this year’s U.S. Senate campaign in Maine has been watching Susan Collins, a senator once renowned for civility and decency, embrace the Maine Wire’s sickening racism and vulgar politics. www.pressherald.com/2026/10/26/s...

Flock and AI . . . what could go wrong? What could use up public services and funding needlessly? #WTFlock #StopAI

ACLU@aclu.org

A young woman from Virginia was in the middle of a road trip when police pulled her over, because Flock flagged her vacation route as "suspicious." This is unacceptable — where we drive is none of the government's business.

Susan approved a message saying he said shut up to Maine woman. No. He said that to a liar insulting our intelligence. It may not be polite, but it isn’t gendered and it isn’t unreasonable. Troy fought to protect choice in Maine because Susan would not do it nationally. One candidate supports us.

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

.@mainewomenslobby.bsky.social came out and endorsed me last week. They’ve never done that for a U.S. Senate race before. It's a huge honor.

I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

Corrupt cowardly pendejo Marco Rubio helped dictator-wannabe criminal Flavio Bolsonaro and his family flee from Brazil to the US after losing the election and says he will issue them visas. The MAGA regime won’t grant asylum to people fleeing war zones, but they’ll protect a terrorist. Got it.

Hey, Bill Green, some people with experience think he’ll do just fine.

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

GUILTY: In a bipartisan vote, the Maine Ethics Commission fined Bobby Charles’ campaign over $22,000 for accepting $45,315.98 in illegal over-the-limit contributions. Mainers deserve a governor who is honest and plays by the rules. Bobby Charles has shown he’s not fit to lead our state.

Every accusation is a confession with these people.

Bruce Bourgoine@brucebourgoine.bsky.social

If you read the article, you have to wonder why the headline writer left an open question out there, the real header is: “Republican ads call Troy Jackson and his family corrupt. THEY ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.” They just cannot accept that Susan Collins is a liar. #MESen #mepolitics #VoteBlue

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

That’s right, Troy! And we remember when you helped Mainers afford heat during another financial crisis. This election is about many things, but one of them is who has distain for working Mainers, and who has our back. Susan just showed you.

NY Times seems to be the first to run with the story about the ad boomeranging on Susan Collins. tinyurl.com/v8dm3uda #MEpolitics

Oregon man who yelled 'Trump's a loser' files lawsuit after arrest Neil Daniels, 59, filed a $75,000 lawsuit after his Oct 2024 arrest for yelling “Trump’s a loser”, alleging city, county & Coquille police infringed on his right to free speech.

LePage is clearly unprepared and incapable of leading in a way that helps Mainers. Vote for Matt who as the courage to answer!

Matt Dunlap@dunlap4congress.bsky.social

This war is driving heating oil prices through the roof, and Mainers deserve a leader with a clear answer. Here’s mine: no, I don't approve of how it is being handled. This war needs to end.

Yes. But they didn’t hurt Bill Green. Bill Green spoke those words. He showed his distain for working Mainers with his actions. And she showed it by letting this air. No vote on appropriations will help us if it is cast by someone who disrespects the people.

Susan Collins’ latest ad: “I know Troy Jackson, but we’re not talking about buying a cord of wood here. We’re sending someone to the U.S. Senate.” Mainers are done with her condescending bullshit.

She promised to be a moderate. Nothing moderate about her record. Maine is pro choice and Susan is clearly not.

Maine Newsroom@mainenewsroom.com

10/27 Maine Senator Susan Collins has voted to confirm 52 of Trump’s anti-abortion judge nominees to federal courts (not including the Supreme Court). #maine #MEpolitics

So telling. They are elitists who serve owners, billionaires. The same type of people who call AOC just a waitress. Because they are the working class and they’re not supposed to run for Senate. We need to win this thing. Can you canvas this weekend?

Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social

Part of how you know this ad has boomeranged on Susan Collins is that Jackson is talking about it and her team isn't. But the other part is that all her corporate media errand-runners -- who've run plenty of 'new Susan Collins ad' stories in recent months -- are ignoring it. #MEpolitics

A Trump voter told me she was frustrated and disappointed he didn’t release the files. I made sure she knew Susan Collins voted against releasing the Epstein files. Canvassing matters. Please canvass—low information and sporadic voters need our encouragement.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have released a new 50-page report detailing Donald Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, claiming to lay out "the case against Donald Trump emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's desperate efforts to cover it up."

Susan Collins had many chances to stop this abuse. To speak up for the Constitution she swore an oath to uphold. Instead, she did worse than nothing & voted to give them another $70 billion when they were already amply funded. There are so many ways she has betrayed us, they don’t fit in this post.

“I’ll be your neighbor first and your congressman second.” With one week to Election Day, I laid out my priorities for ME-02, joined by former Congressman Mike Michaud, Maine AFL-CIO president Cynthia Phinney, Maine Nurses Association president Erin Oberson, Jordan Wood, and local sportsmen.

Bill Green is pathetic. Same attitude as AOC is just a waitress — elitist garbage. Susan and her billionaire PACS started the negative ads, her record is awful and each negative ad is tied to some way she’s betrayed us. Including that fraud investigation!

Pine Tree Activism@pinetreeactivism.org

What a bunch of cockamamie bullsh*t, Bill Green. To find ways to get free firewood, find fuel oil prices, and much more, Troy Jackson has put together a Resources & Support page. HELP WITH HEAT & ENERGY COSTS IN MAINE: 👉 www.jacksonformaine.com/heat 👈 Susan Collins should be ashamed. #MEpolitics

CONFIRMED: ICE IS IN SALINAS, CALIFORNIA! Attention Monterey County! Stay alert, stay informed, and look out for one another. Please don't spread rumors or panic. Let's keep our community safe.

Folks, we have one week until Election Day. There's no way for the working class to win our government back if we don't take action and VOTE. No one is going to swoop in and do this for us, we have to do it together. Make a plan to vote today: jacksonformaine.com/vote

I got a text that the DOJ is planning a coup to disqualify Dem wins next week. Two state supreme courts elect members this week and need support if we’re going to have them able to protect us. I support Defend our Courts and thought you might be interested in their work, too!
