Maine's Republican Party has strung together a series of humiliating losses -- with the exception of Gov.-now-Rep. Paul LePage. Relegated to near-super minority status, the party is going to need new leadership and new thinking if Maine's can recover.

“Harm Reduction”
A Bangor driver who had just gotten a dose of methadone was arrested after being involved in a car crash. He was charged with an OUI, but then refused entry into jail because he was "too high."

As originally reported by @TheMaineWire, Susie Wiles son-in-law was mixed up in some incredibly shady hemp business. Newly relevant with @calleymeans allegations.
Replying to @TheDankInformer
🧵8/X - Now the White House part. Asterra’s counterclaim alleges that starting Dec 2024, Worley boasted of influence over federal policy via his relationship with Caroline Wiles — daughter of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles — even claiming he could help arrange political appointments. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/TheDankInformer/status…

The full story shows that Wiles son-in-law, Bret Worley, is in the middle of a scummy industry that’s bringing Chinese synthetic drug juice to all of the tobacco shops around America (which we also subsidized as taxpayers for Indian investors) themainewire.com/2025/08/a-l…

Vance came to Maine twice for Paul LePage in ME-CD2, and LePage won. So there's that.
How is Vance vindicated? He campaigned for every candidate who lost. He said “give us a couple more years” and voters gave their response to that. Vindicated? He lost.

If she sees @MaineWireJon kick another dog I'm authorizing her to use lethal force
Here's our interview with the armed anti-ICE protesters in Scarborough: JON: "So you guys are out here seven days a week?" PROTESTER: "Of course. 12 hours a day at least"

Umm... Are they ready for the extremely uncomfortable conversation about who is no longer going to be eligible for credit cards?
JUST IN: Sen. Elizabeth Warren reveals Democrats have legislation ready to cap credit card rates at 10%.

Some stats on how Maine's UOCAVA votes broke out this election cycle. 90% in favor of Democrats -- and just 3% of military. Not a big enough cohort to swing statewide elections (yet) but the UOCAVA vote has tipped legislative majorities in the past and multiple races this year.
TWO MAINE REPUBLICANS APPEARED TO WIN... THEN CAME THE OVERSEAS BALLOTS! 🗳️ Steve Robinson, editor of The Maine Wire, joined me with some eyebrow-raising details about Maine's election. He says overseas ballots reversed the apparent outcome in at least TWO races. And some voters haven't lived in Maine since CHILDHOOD! Meanwhile, Paul LePage managed to flip a congressional seat while much of the state swung dramatically blue. What's really happening with Maine's elections, and who's keeping an eye on the process? Steve and I dug into these serious questions on "Early Bird With Ed Martin," on @RealAmVoice! WATCH! 👇

The UOCAVA ballots are a left-wing scam that has allowed people with no intention of ever returning to live in Maine to vote in Maine’s elections — and these votes happen to trend 9-1 Dem. On multiple election nights, a GOP candidate has won the local resident vote only to later learn that the overseas votes have given the election to the Democrat. Those overseas votes just so happen to be counted by the Secretary of State, not a local clerk, and the non-residents can vote by email. Indeed, it’s easier to vote if you’re a resident of Denmark who is never coming back to Maine than it is if you’re a lifelong Mainer and taxpayer. Democracy!

Announcement video coming this week. Our next long term (very long term, in fact) project. Worthy of our time and attention. It will be like nothing else; we're creating something that (pathetically) does not exist.

Immigration enforcement backfired so spectacularly in Maine, where there was a controversial ICE shooting, that Paul LePage explicitly campaigned on enforcing Trump’s immigration policies and he’s the only Republican in the country who won. Much backfire.
There it is. The donors. The GOP donors are the biggest impediment to enforcing our immigration laws. Always have been.

After the Maine GOP lost three senate seats, giving Democrats a supermajority for the first time since the 1980s, the caucus re-selects State Sen. Trey Stewart of Aroostook as leader. Per sources, Sen. David Haggan of Penobscot will serve as Assistant Leader.
BREAKING: Trey Stewart reelected as Senate Republican Minority Leader

Democrat Secretaries of State found a loophole: eligible but unregistered voters who’ve permanently moved to Europe or whatever other shithole country are technically allowed to vote. So Shenna & Co. do aggressive outreach and make it as easy as sending an email for them to vote.
Overseas votes, which are handled directly by the Secretary of State's office rather than by local clerks, broke at a 90-10 clip for Democrats in Maine:

LePage has won this race. The RCV count is a legal formality. Even Shenna couldn't cheat this one.
BREAKING: Maine's CD-2 race will proceed to ranked-choice voting tabulations. Maine Secretary of State's office announced the decision: "As reported by Maine’s 487 municipalities, there were 341,248 total ballots cast in the race, with 170,263 votes (49.894%) for Paul LePage (R), 164,845 votes (48.307%) for Matthew Dunlap (D), 123 votes (0.036%) for declared write-in candidates, and 6,017 blank votes (1.763%). Since no candidate received more than 50% of the total ballots cast, the ranked choice tabulation process will begin this Monday, November 9, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the Maine Department of Public Safety Headquarters building located at 45 Commerce Drive in Augusta." The LePage campaign has already declared victory in the race.

I'm told Maine's Second Congressional District will soon be called for former Republican Gov. Paul LePage -- the singular victory in one of the most humiliating election nights in the history of the Maine Republican Party. #MECD2

If the Paul LePage versus Matt Dunlap race comes down to fewer than 2000 votes, send this CCTV footage from Lewiston. City Hall might just show Ware the Democratic machine was able to make up the difference. This link is a micro site we made so anyone can explore all 140 hours of security camera footage from Lewiston’s early voting or download the raw video to explore with your own methods. As you will see, the “translators” were effectively voting coordinators, hanging out at City Hall and mass processing automatic Democrat votes from illiterate Somali. I’m not quite sure how a democratic society survives, or a government maintain legitimacy if this is how elections will be run. diversity-makesus-strong.gro…
