Thank you @neal_katyal for representing me as an intervenor in this lawsuit and for your brilliant argument yesterday defending our right to have a political system in Maine that is not only free from corruption but also free from the appearance of corruption. #morevoice
Walking into Maine Federal Court to defend Maine’s Question One, a voter initiative that ends big dark money in SuperPACs. The initiative passed the ballot last year by a 74.9% vote, garnering more votes than any candidate or issue in any election in the 205 year history of the State

Missouri’s Amendment 6, approved by a decisive margin, sharply limits the legislature’s ability to overturn laws and constitutional amendments enacted through citizen initiatives or to revive laws voters rejected through referendums. propublica.org/article/misso…

Maybe both parties keep mistaking voter rejection of their opponents’ agenda for an endorsement of their own sweeping platform, when voters really just want a president who fixes the proverbial potholes.

Results are still coming in, and we are seeing some incredible numbers. In St. Mary's, more Alaskans voted for me on Election Day this year than voted at ALL in 2024. Thank you St. Mary’s, for the warm welcome earlier this year and for turning out to vote!
Rural tour day ✌️ was a lovely day in St. Mary’s!

This is a Dealignment. @JohnAnzo is correct and has been keenly prescient all year. Listen to him - if Democrats want to keep Latinos focus on the economy.
Latino voters will continue to be the biggest swing voter group in American politics in upcoming cycles. Democrats have to understand that this is not a realignment with Latinos. They will have to continually earn their vote. They were mostly voting against Republicans. Now we need to make the argument to Latinos that we are listening and lay out an economic agenda that will keep them voting for us in 2028.

Have been receiving many messages like this... I want to say: The majority of the valley stands for humanist, pro-society values. We believe in building technology that supports the many. The loudest voices do not represent the majority, and we cannot let them define us.

Susie Wiles submitted her resignation last night. President Trump was angry with her this week following the GOP wipeout Tuesday night.
