Those wiglets seem to have been quickly placed on her head because wow…

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

Isn’t that decision up to Maine voters?

My father had a debilitating stroke. Strokes do not change your morals or your values.

Agree! After the Fetterman situation, hopefully we’ve all learned to really get the candidates.

I’m so old I remember giving your grief when you covered Auburn 😂😂

I read an article this morning where Planter praises Josh Hawley. I’m not a Maine resident so I have no vote, but that would be a red flag for me.

the same people who warned you about john fetterman are warning you about that dude in Maine. if you want to get duped into another fetterman, by all means continue attacking Janet Mills.

if you'd like a reliable vote for democracy, democratic values, and Mainers, go with a proven track record.

Maine Democrats are facing a choice for who will take on Susan Collins and that’s exactly how it should be. A competitive primary isn’t a distraction. It’s a crucible that tests candidates and shows who’s strongest. #mepolitics

A Maine Democratic Senate Primary Worth Having

A Mills vs. Platner primary will be a proving ground and give voters a real say in their effort to beat Susan Collins.

It’s getting to the point where I don’t recognize my alma mater. Yes, I understand progress and modernization, but it’d still sad to see buildings I walked by each day as a student disappear.

I had a few issues a month or so ago. I updated the app and everything is ok now.

Omg! Is this for real? Freeze talking about someone not meeting expectations??? He’s gotta go now!

This is horrible. This competition was important in my school district.

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl–an optional state-wide competition intended to get kids excited about reading–has banned 8 books from its teen competition this year.

Among the banned books? @samiraahmed.bsky.social's book about banned books.

What the hell is going on?

Auburn, you’re on the clock.

Sickos Committee @sickoscommittee.org · 2d

Ok, we have

Trent Bray
James Franklin
Trent Dilfer

All fired today

Last call before we record the podcast tonight - anyone else want to fire their coach?

Paula @dwoodmom.bsky.social · 2d

Her seat is absolutely safe. It’s a district gerry-mandered to be Republican by the GA legislature. I really have no clue what’s going on with her.

Just bad, bad coaching and team discipline. It’s time to move on from Freeze.

Paula @dwoodmom.bsky.social · 2d

Remember the jolt of hope and joy we had when Harsin was fired and Cadillac was named interim coach? Auburn needs that same hope now from anybody not named Hugh Freeze.

Paula @dwoodmom.bsky.social · 2d

No excuses now. When you lose a crowd at a night game at Jordan-Hare, you’re done, or should be.

Paula @dwoodmom.bsky.social · 3d

Both would be acceptable.
