Mainers are less interested in 2nd District Congressman Jared Golden running: only 29% definitely (9%) or probably (20%) want Golden to run for U.S. Senate while 62% definitely (39%) or probably (23%) do not want him to run.

Polling results for the Maine Republican gubernatorial primary. The “not familiar” values range from 47% to 72%. This is funny to me.
Favorability polling results in Maine for Sen. Angus King, Gov Janet Mills, Graham Platner, Sen Susan Collins, and donald trump.
In an interview, Monahan of the IBEW said he was drawn to Platner's "impressive" backstory. "He's an impressive person, kind of a [former Sen. Joel Manchin, [Sen. John] Fetterman type, in that kind of category," Monahan said, referring to Democrats from West Virginia and Pennsylvania who tacked to the center and frequently butted heads with the party's base. "The numbers I keep seeing out of it, I mean, this isn't just his polls. The guy's kicking ass."

Smoking outside after the town hall, Platner rattled off some current U.S. senators who he admires: Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democrats Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Ed Markey of Massachusetts. On the other side of the aisle, Josh Hawley of Missouri. “We don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he has been fighting for stuff,” Platner said. “For instance, trying to ban stock trading. Yeah, I’m into that,” notably the opposite stance Collins has taken

Light therapy Photoperiod-related alterations of the duration of melatonin secretion may affect the seasonal mood cycles of SAD. This suggests that light therapy may be an effective treatment for SAD.[34] Light therapy uses a lightbox, which emits far more lumens than a customary incandescent lamp. Bright white "full spectrum" light at 10,000 lux, blue light at a wavelength of 480nm at 2,500 lux or green (actually cyan or blue-green[35]) light at a wavelength of 500nm at 350 lux are used, with the first-mentioned historically preferred

Screenshot of Facebook comments regarding Graham Platner. Relevant section: Oh shit. I remember him from back in early 2020. We matched, texted every day, planned to meet up multiple times but "things came up" for him. Then ghosted me. I assumed he had a significant other & maybe she just came back into the picture, he got caught, etc. Sounds like he hasn't changed his MO in almost 5 yrs 1y Sara Stowe Tracy Wright in my experience, he's been up to the same nonsense for at least 8 years...

The trade-off might well be worth it—but confiscating billionaire wealth is not a magic bullet to solve U.S. budget problems. Does this mean that the United States shouldn't aggressively tax billionaires? Absolutely not. Let's take a tour through the events from back in the first few months of the year. After taking office, President Donald Trump stepped aside and allowed Elon Musk and the newly created Department of Government Efficiency to run riot in the federal bureaucracy, effectively shuttering entire agencies.

The bill he voted against was an amendment to the revenge porn statute which was passed in 2019, before Zohran was in the Assembly. He voted against two amendments. One expanded the scope for prosecution beyond the context of revenge porn to posting crime victim images, in reaction to an EMT who posted images on his social media account of a dead victim at a crime scene. This is problematic on its face because means already exist for civil recourse, and there are potential First Amendment issues by placing it under penal law instead. The other actually weakened the revenge porn law because it removed the ability to prosecute actors who posted revenge porn for reasons of malice or profit.
