Twice, the legislature was asked to return to session. Twice, Republicans refused. Its like they want to be in the minority forever #mepolitics
@MaineHouseGOP The official record shows that almost all of your members did not respond to the polls #mepolitics
Malarkey detected. Anyways, Happy Pride from the White House! #mepolitics https://t.co/HFHsHXICCd https://t.co/dgp7kiaKhC
Moral of the story: 1) don’t shut down the government 2) if you agree to a deal, you have to vote for it 3) if you act with dishonesty, people will remember 4) if you ignore 1, 2, and 3, don’t be surprised when the answer is No next time you say “trust me.”#mepolitics
Susan Collins doesnt regret voting for Kavanaugh, doesnt regret voting for Trumps 2 trillion dollar tax cut for corporations, and doesnt regret voting to undermine the Affordable Care Act. That answer right there is why shes going to lose #mepolitics
Congrats to the newest member of the House Democratic majority, Kevin OConnell !!!!!!! #mepolitics
Jeff Timberlake and Trey Stewart arguing for negotiations on a bipartisan budget. That’s exactly what happened 2 years ago, and after they agreed to a deal they both voted No! How can they possibly expect to be trusted after that? #mepolitics
The biennial budget has been enacted. How we got here, a timeline: June 2017: Nearly all House Rs follow LePage and Fredette, like lemmings off the cliff, into a state shutdown. Among them are Dillingham, Stewart, and Timberlake #mepolitics
