  1. News of Jackson’s anonymous online activity comes as he prepares to take on #Republican incumbent Sen #SusanCollins in a pivotal #Senate race this November. Jackson, a former logger & one-time president of the #Maine Senate, recently became the Democratic nominee after the high-profile implosion of progressive outsider #GrahamPlatner.

    [what a freaking mess Dems 🤦🏼‍♀️]

  2. “Oh yes, the Republicans never do any thing approaching this,” he wrote. “They are working hard on good government, night and day, and if they have just a one spare moment, they get together for bible study or a good game of tiddly winks. PLEASE.”

    CNN’s KFile was able to link Jackson to the “Canadians for LePage” alias through multiple records, including an email address connected to Jackson, jacksonforsenate(at)hotmail.com.

  3. In another comment in 2012, possibly responding to another reader, Jackson used a report about a Democratic lawmaker obtaining a protection-from-abuse order against a fellow Democratic legislator after their breakup to take a sarcastic swipe at the #GOP, mocking the notion that #Republicans were morally above such conduct.

  4. Meanwhile, posting anonymously online as “Canadians for LePage,” #TroyJackson frequently disparaged LePage in the comments sections of news articles. “You are no more a woodsman than LePage is a Governor,” Jackson wrote in one exchange commenting on an article on the state’s budget.

  5. Using an online alias, “Canadians for LePage,” #TroyJackson posted dozens of times on The Bangor Daily News website, acc/to a CNN analysis, routinely mocking & criticizing LePage at a time when the 2 were caught in a political fight over Canadian loggers being allowed to work in #Maine.

    After LePage vetoed one of Jackson’s bills restricting foreign labor on state-owned land, Jackson publicly accused the governor of being, “more interested in giving jobs to Canadians rather than Maine workers.”

  6. I mean it’s not great, but there are worse things…

    #Senate candidate #Maine #Democrat #TroyJackson ran anonymous account to troll #Republicans online

    In 2012, Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics. An outspoken Democratic state lawmaker, Jackson openly feuded with then-Republican Gov Paul LePage.

    But in private, Jackson also took shots at LePage anonymously.

  8. Some advice for the #TroyJackson campaign with "only 100 days":

    You CAN & SHOULD remind voters that #KamalaHarris also had (essentially) only 100 Days to campaign, illustrating the importance of #Democrats SHOWING UP on Election Day, and the consequences of staying home.

  12. ‘Working-Class Organizing Wins’: #TroyJackson Pulls Ahead in Race to Replace Platner in #Maine

    from #CommonDreams July 19, 2026

    After Saturday’s county meetings, Jackson addressed some of his supporters virtually, giving his volunteer network credit for quickly organizing on his behalf after many had previously expected to be campaigning for Platner, who spent nearly a year mobilizing Mainers [...] with a platform focused on taxing billionaires, ending US “forever wars” and military aid for #Israel, and passing #MedicareForAll.

    “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the hard, hard work. I’ve been getting text messages all day about what a great job I did. I didn’t do a goddamn thing, all of you just smoked it,” said Jackson in a video posted on social media. “It’s really, really incredible, so thank you so much. We’re well on our way to getting the government that we fucking deserve, and that’s what I’m excited about.”

  13. Alrighty then... Switching gears back to #USPol and #Doomposting. In #MainePol news, #TroyJackson is the presumptive #Democratic candidate, as both #ShennaBellows and #NiravShah dropped out. So, there you go!

  15. It looks like #JanetMills took the hint from the primaries and will NOT be appointed by the #Maine dems. The two top contenders seem to be #TroyJackson and #NiravShah.

  16. On the ground in #Maine.

    Some things change quickly and others barely at all. Here, overlooking the ferry terminal at Lincolnville Beach.

  17. The Venn Diagram of leftists who complained about Kamala not winning a primary and those supporting Jackson to replace Platner is just special.

    If Platner exits the race Mills is the Democratic candidate with the most primary votes. Be glad Chuck Schumer was smart enough to ask her to run, that's why he's in leadership dummies! 😂😂😂
