@CelloMomOnCars Though, tbh, now that I'm thinking about it, that's a reason the Northeastern US should secede -- to get away from #Trump and #BigMineral!

#Maine #GovernorJanetMills releases $1.25 million to help #FoodBanks respond to #SNAP losses
Mills also has not ruled out calling a special session of the Legislature so roughly 170,000 Mainers don’t lose federal food assistance.
by Randy Billings. October 30, 2025
FALMOUTH — "Gov. Janet Mills said Wednesday that her administration is releasing an additional $1.25 million in funding for food pantries and anti-hunger programs in a bid to keep nearly 170,000 low-income Maine families from losing assistance during the federal government shutdown.
"Mills said the funding would be distributed through the #GoodShepherdFoodBank and the #AreaAgenciesOnAging to support programs such as #MealsOnWheels and other anti-hunger organizations.
" 'When the federal government fails, Maine will not,' Mills said in a written statement. 'When challenges arise, Maine people step up.'
"Mills is using $1 million from the governor’s contingency account and the John T. Gorman Foundation is providing $250,000. The Portland nonprofit noted that 55,000 children could lose food assistance.
"Heather Paquette, president of Good Shepherd, said in a written statement that the funding will help support nearly 600 food pantries and other partner organizations across the state.
" 'Our partners on the front lines are facing an overwhelming need for food right now and these funds will go to work immediately to help ensure everyone in Maine has access to the food they need to feed themselves and their families during this uncertain time,' Paquette said.
[...]"Some other states are also announcing emergency funding for food banks and food assistance programs in anticipation of the loss of SNAP benefits. #Minnesota, for example, has announced $4 million for food assistance programs, and #NewYork is committing $30 million."

#GovernorJanetMills calls on #Trump to tap emergency reserves to fund #FoodStamps
by Christopher Burns, October 30, 2025
Excerpt: "Mills and the other governors said in their letter that the anti-hunger program prevents low-income Americans from having to make 'impossible choices' between eating or taking medication, between eating or heating their homes, between eating or going to the doctor.
" '#SNAP lifts families out of poverty by allowing them to spend money that would otherwise have been used for food on rent, heat, or health care,' they wrote."

The formation of #District13!
Several Northeastern States and America’s Largest City Announce the Northeast Public Health Collaborative
Voluntary Coalition includes #Connecticut, #Maine, #Massachusetts, #NewJersey, #NewYorkState, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #NewYorkCity
Regional Partnership Brings Together Public Health Agencies and Leaders to Share Expertise, Improve Coordination, and Promote and Protect Evidence-Based Public Health
Work Groups Created to Identify Opportunities for Collaboration Including Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Vaccine Recommendations, Data Collection, Infectious Disease Management and Laboratory Services
September 18, 2025 — "Several Northeastern states and America’s largest city have been collaborating since early 2025 and today formally announced the Northeast Public Health Collaborative, a voluntary regional coalition of public health agencies and leaders, brought together to share expertise, improve coordination, enhance capacity, strengthen regional readiness, and promote and protect evidence-based public health.
"The Collaborative’s shared purpose is to work together in new ways – optimizing the use of shared resources, innovating and reimagining core services – to ensure trust in public health, respond to public health threats, advance community health and strengthen confidence in vaccines and science-based medicine. The group’s shared goal is to protect the health, safety and well-being of all residents by providing information based on science, data, and evidence, while working to ensure equitable access to vaccines, medications and services.
"The regional partnership, which was informally established several months ago, held its first in-person meeting in Rhode Island in August. The Collaborative has already formed interjurisdictional working groups to identify opportunities for collaboration and shared planning across multiple public health disciplines including public health emergency preparedness and response, vaccine recommendations and purchasing, data collection and analysis, infectious disease, epidemiology and laboratory capacity and services.
"Members of the Collaborative worked together on science-based guidance for health care personnel (HCP) advising on precautions health care workers should take to protect themselves and patients during respiratory virus season. Other examples of collaborative efforts include sharing information on public health emergency preparedness related to three FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) World Cup host cities within the collaborative, exploring workforce pipeline activities given the understaffing in public health and coordinating state lab related activities and services."

by Eesha Pendharkar
Fri, September 12, 2025 at 1:14 PM EDTExcerpt: " 'I will not stand idly by while the #Trump Administration makes it harder for #Maine people to get a vaccine that protects their health and could very well save their life,' Mills said in a statement.

#District13 looks to take care of its own health care needs!
Despite new federal guidelines, #JanetMills looks to expand #Covid19 vaccine availability in #Maine
BY Susan Cover Maine
PUBLISHED 2:19 PM ET Sep. 08, 2025WATERVILLE — "Gov. Janet Mills said Monday she’s working to ensure that Mainers who want to get a COVID-19 vaccination at local pharmacies without a prescription can get one.
" 'We’re working with the attorney general’s office in Maine to clarify whether we can issue a standing order and take measures like that,' she told reporters. 'We want to make sure everyone who wants to get a shot can get one.'
"She expects more information to come out this week.
"Last week, Massachusetts Gov. #MauraHealey took steps to ensure that vaccines, including those for COVID, flu and RSV, remain readily available and covered by insurance.
"Like Maine, Massachusetts is one of 16 states prohibited from offering COVID vaccines at pharmacies without a prescription following new federal guidelines restricting who is eligible for the shot.
"The federal guidelines issued Aug. 27 authorize vaccines for those 65 and older or those with at least one underlying medical condition. Others need a prescription to get the vaccine.
"In response, the Massachusetts public health commissioner issued an order Sept. 3 allowing pharmacies to continue to provide COVID shots to those 5 and older, according to Healey’s office. That prompted CVS and Walgreens pharmacies in Massachusetts to work toward making appointments available, the governor’s office said in a press release.
"Healey’s office also noted that it is 'leading efforts to create a public health collaboration with states in #NewEngland and across the #Northeast committed to safeguarding public health as the federal government backs away from its responsibilities.'
"Mills said in Maine, officials need to ensure pharmacists and physicians are protected from 'any liability' that might arise from the discrepancy between state and federal guidelines.
"After attending a Rotary meeting in Waterville, Mills mentioned the group’s efforts to eradicate polio worldwide. As she mulls a run for U.S. Senate — a decision she’ll announce in November — she said changes to the federal public health system are one of her top concerns.
" 'The current state of affairs, the state of flux in the public health system nationally is of great concern right this minute,' she said.

#Maine rejects #JusticeDepartment’s request for all #voters’ personal info, list of election officials
Secretary of State #ShennaBellows' responded to the request by telling the DOJ to "go jump in the Gulf of Maine."
by Dylan Tusinski, July 29, 2025
AUGUSTA — "Maine is denying the U.S. Department of Justice access to its voter registration records, state officials said Tuesday, rejecting an unprecedented request for sensitive voter data that the Trump administration has now delivered to all 50 states.
"A letter late last week to Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and signed by Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General Michael Gates claims Maine had roughly 11,000 voters with duplicate registration. It requested the state’s entire voter registration list dating back to November 2022 'to ensure that ineligible voters are being removed.'
"The state has 14 days to respond to the letter dated July 24.
"Bellows, who is also a Democratic candidate for governor, said in a press conference Tuesday the Trump administration is overstepping its bounds, empowering false narratives and 'trying to change the topic away from the Epstein files.'
" 'Article 1 of the Constitution places the states — not President Trump, not the federal government — in charge of federal elections,' she said. 'The DOJ doesn’t get to know everything about you just because they want to.'
"Bellows’ office is coordinating with Maine’s Office of Attorney General to draft a formal response, she said.
The Maine Republican Party has previously claimed widespread voter fraud across the state, but a subsequent investigation by Bellows’ office concluded this month and found those claims were baseless. Just because someone is registered to vote in two different towns doesn’t mean they intended to vote twice.

#Maine rejects #JusticeDepartment’s request for all #voters’ personal info, list of election officials
Secretary of State #ShennaBellows' responded to the request by telling the DOJ to "go jump in the Gulf of Maine."
by Dylan Tusinski, July 29, 2025
AUGUSTA — "Maine is denying the U.S. Department of Justice access to its voter registration records, state officials said Tuesday, rejecting an unprecedented request for sensitive voter data that the Trump administration has now delivered to all 50 states.
"A letter late last week to Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and signed by Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General Michael Gates claims Maine had roughly 11,000 voters with duplicate registration. It requested the state’s entire voter registration list dating back to November 2022 'to ensure that ineligible voters are being removed.'
"The state has 14 days to respond to the letter dated July 24.
"Bellows, who is also a Democratic candidate for governor, said in a press conference Tuesday the Trump administration is overstepping its bounds, empowering false narratives and 'trying to change the topic away from the Epstein files.'
" 'Article 1 of the Constitution places the states — not President Trump, not the federal government — in charge of federal elections,' she said. 'The DOJ doesn’t get to know everything about you just because they want to.'
"Bellows’ office is coordinating with Maine’s Office of Attorney General to draft a formal response, she said.
The Maine Republican Party has previously claimed widespread voter fraud across the state, but a subsequent investigation by Bellows’ office concluded this month and found those claims were baseless. Just because someone is registered to vote in two different towns doesn’t mean they intended to vote twice. Often, it simply means that they moved between elections."A spokesman for Maine Senate Republicans declined to comment on the DOJ’s request or Bellows’ response.

#PortlandME, 2 Maine counties named 'sanctuary jurisdictions' by Trump administration
Brad Rogers,WGMEFri, May 30th 2025 at 8:04 PM
Updated Fri, May 30th 2025 at 10:29 PMPORTLAND (WGME) -- "The Department of Homeland Security is putting more than 500 '#SanctuaryJurisdictions' across the country on notice.
"The Trump administration says cities and counties on the list are obstructing immigration enforcement and standing in the way of President Donald Trump's #MassDeportations.
"Portland, #CumberlandCounty and #HancockCounty made the list in #Maine.
"Cumberland County believes it made the list because it won't illegally hold detainees for ICE and won't do ICE's job.
"The Trump administration is increasing pressure on communities it claims are protecting people who they say are 'violent criminal illegal aliens.' " [You know, like trade workers and business owners!]

#MaineResists! #Maine officials refuse to sign #Trump agreement on #TransgenderAthletes
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said earlier this month that it would give state and local officials in Maine 10 days to sign a proposed agreement banning transgender athletes or the state would risk referral to the U.S. Department of Justice.
by Rachel Ohm, March 27, 2025
"Leaders of the Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School say they will not sign a proposed agreement from the Trump administration requiring Maine to stop allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ high school sports.
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School 10 days to sign a proposed resolution agreement in response to its findings that Maine violated federal #TitleIX law by allowing a transgender high school student to compete in a girls’ indoor track championship last month.
Thursday marks 10 days since the Maine entities were notified of #DHHS’ findings and presented with a proposed resolution."'In a letter to the community Thursday, the school board of School Administrative District 51, which includes Greely High School, said the district will not sign the agreement.
"'As stated during our Board meeting on March 6th, MSAD 51 will continue to follow state law and the #MaineHumanRightsAct (#MHRA),' the letter said. 'Compliance with the proposed (agreement) would be a violation of current Maine law.'
"A spokesperson for the #MPA said Wednesday it also will not sign the agreement. The MPA also sent a letter to DHHS last week saying the federal agency doesn’t have any jurisdiction over the private non-profit organization and asking it to dismiss its finding of a violation.
"'The Maine Principals’ Association is bound by the law, including the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA), which our participation policy reflects,' the MPA said in a statement Wednesday. 'We are unable to sign any resolution agreement that would mandate we create a new policy that would violate the law and MHRA. As such, we have not signed and will not sign the resolution agreement sent by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.'"
[...]
"The Trump administration has said it could refer the findings to the U.S. Department of Justice if the agreement is not signed. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has also threatened to sue Maine if the state refuses to comply with Trump’s executive order calling for a nationwide ban on transgender student-athletes.
