This one hurts. Walter was a kind, humble and loving man…and a friend. He will be missed by so many. My dad is joined with his friend in heaven.

Bill Green has trashed his reputation to be one a dozen attack ads you'll see today. It's embarrassing.
Replying to @aobrien2010
Shocking he stooped so low.

Bill did a nice feature on my cartoon series several years ago for his show. I liked him personally, but he has really shown himself to be an elitist jerk. Troy isn't "just a logger." He spent 20 years in the Maine Legislature, including six years as Senate President.

YOUR CHOICE, YOUR VOICE | We asked our voters what issues they wanted to learn more about leading up to the midterm elections. One of the top responses was election security. Here’s what candidate for governor had to say about it. #mepolitics #mainepolitics #election @WMTWTV

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. pressherald.com/2026/10/26/s…

Although I am a NH Republican. if I could, I would go to Ohio and vote for Amy Acton for Governor. What Vivek R and the Rs there have tried to do to her is outrageous, and beyond excuse.. Shame on them for creating the obscene ad and shame on her for allowing it to be aired

As a kid, I worked for John Reed and Bill Cohen. In college, I became a Democrat because of an ill-advised war , like Trump's adventure in Iran. One goes to college to learn new things. I learned to be a Democrat.

Bill Green--retired newscaster, and a great guy, in spite of supporting Susan Collins--said in a recent OpEd that I always vote Democrat. Not true, Bill! I grew up in a Maine Republican family; my grampa wouldn't say FDR's name, just called him "That man in the White House."

Familiar Washington figures have been spending time in Maine looking to boost @SenSusanCollins & @TroyJackson207. Who has star power and influence? Do endorsements matter? We look into that on Ep. 103 of @InTheArenaMaine youtube.com/watch?v=kGJcou0n… @WMTWTV #MePolitics

Are you a nervous Democrat? This will calm you down. Or not. At least you’ll laugh.
There’s a lot of this vibe in DC these days.

When asked for an example of when her opposition blocked a Trump priority, @SenSusanCollins cited an unsuccessful effort to block Pete Hegseth from becoming SECDEF. Our @InTheArenaMaine team ponders the process and what it means. youtube.com/watch?v=kGJcou0n… @WMTWTV #MePolitics

I didn’t realize until now that this isn’t even the first woman married to an incestuous pedophile to appear in a Ramaswamy tv ad! Vernon Edwards “was convicted of gross sexual imposition in 2006 for molesting several of his nieces under the age of 13” local12.com/news/local/quest…
