Mills then replied, "See you in court."

"Good, I'll see you in court," Trump said. "I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics."

After the exchange, Mills released a statement saying, "If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides. The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the President's threats."

The Trump administration argues that Title IX, the statute that prevents sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding, requires the government to "take all appropriate action to affirmatively protect all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms."

1. have any dems pointed out what donald trump thinks about all girl locker rooms? nt

[Sogo]

4. Or teenage pageant dressing rooms....

nt.

[magicarpet]

30. He owns the pageant he has right to take inventories ....

..... and fully inspect the operation.

Okay girls .... The Donald is here .... everyone pull down their panties for the inspection reports.

[calimary]

41. Eeeeuuuuuuuuuuw!

[choie]

2. You are absolutely right.

[Sogo]

3. My thought, too.....GMTA!

[Daleuhlmann]

5. Trump Sounded Like An Ass Today in Answering Governor Mills!

This oaf doesn't know the meaning of civility or reason. Governor Mills has a great chance of winning in court, and he knows it!

[malaise]

6. An uncouth ill mannered vulgarian - and a woman-hating fascist bully

who has never read the Constitution.
He really believes he is king

[bdamomma]

18. He's in

his bubble of his delusional thinking. What SF!!!

[slightlv]

28. He's probably got everyone in his administration...

and anyone who wants to meet with him, already calling him "king" and, once again, literally kissing the ring. Hubby makes no bones any longer. When we're together and crap like this comes out, he just says Someone has to take him out. Luckily, he keeps it just between the two of us. It's to the point now you're almost afraid to open your mouth in public any longer.

[Katinfl]

34. That is what my husband says too.

I totally agree, but I would rather by natural causes. Unless, and until, he is stopped by the courts I don't see any way out. Hope I am wrong.

[Wifes husband]

10. I doubt he does

He is living in an alternative universe.

[Skittles]

24. Trump is disgusting, and a daily embarrassment to America

FUCK everyone who voted for him, they make me SICK

[B.See]

29. no, THEY are the sick fks.

They just make me angry.

[Daleuhlmann]

26. Trump's Sexism Was on Full Display, Too!

If Governor Mills had been a male, would he have called him out in the same, confrontational way? Knowing the long history of Trump's fights with female reporters and politicians who have shown the courage to stand up to him, I don't think so.

[Wifes husband]

31. Absolutely not

I have known a bunch of these nut jobs.

Cowards. Every one of them. One of the reasons they are afraid of everything

[LiberalArkie]

27. The MAGA was created to be uncivil. That is what they hated about the Liberals. They were civil, educated nice people

whereas they were always the uncivil. They were the ones who liked to bomb churches with kids inside. They like to lynch people. So they built a party around their viewpoint.

Everything was fine until they got a tv network behind them and found out that they were not the only ones who HATED every living thing on Earth. Everything was fine until they found others who were like minded.

[AdamGG]

39. He sounded like a mafia thug

Nice state and nice career you have here, it would be a shame if anything happened to it.

[Quiet Em]

7. Governor Pritzker is fantastic

Maine won't be the only State rejecting this order. I know NY won't and NJ isn't planning on enforcing it either.

[raccoon]

8. Gov. Mills and Gov. Pritzker both rock! We need more people to stand up to the asshole the way they did.

[MaineNative]

9. We love you Gov. Mills!

As Maine goes, so goes the nation.

[Bluethroughu]

11. I hate Illinois Nazis.

?si=lU-NCTIqUkwWOlfV

[DENVERPOPS]

12. He enjoys

googling at younger women, especially girls...........

Look at ALL the women he has chosen to surround himself with.....All visited the plastic surgery docs, got the pre-requisite "Republican Rack", got the hairdresser to do their hair like Melanoma's. and purchased fashionable knee pads to kneel down and kiss his ring....

Because back when he was a teenager or young creep, no woman would go out on a date with him unless she was paid. Same for all his "marriages".......

[malaise]

14. He's a first rate creep

Rec

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Yes

as well as being a sub-human piece of shit, and most certainly for his domination of adolescent women and girls, along with his bestest buddy Epstein.......

[Maine Abu El Banat]

23. Governor Mills

Was a tenacious AG for Maine during the dark days of Paul LePage. She was a constant thorn in his side.

[paleotn]

13. Blue states should confiscate federal income tax withholding.

The Constitution? It's no longer in force. Businesses won't do it? You will or you won't do business in our states. Our states are where the disposable income is. It sure as hell isn't in Mississhity and West Virginy.

[malaise]

15. THIS

Rec

[OldBaldy1701E]

19. Yep. Cut off the money and watch what happens. (n/t)

[DENVERPOPS]

22. Please Note

that the gears are already turning, but they will wait until after April 15th and everyone has filed.........
If I was still had self employed income, I would file for an "extension" on this years quarterly estimated taxes, and send no estimated taxes, and just wait and see.........Sadly anyone working for someone else, and just collecting "wages" has the money withheld and sent in to the Feds.............(of course, this year, the Corporations may just withhold it, and then hold on to it, to see what develops)

Trump will soon abandon the United States of America, and title our nation: the United Corporations of America, or better yet,
the FASCIST CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA......

[AdamGG]

38. Withhold the money on the grounds

that the executive branch is violating the US Constitution.

[red dog 1]

16. K&R

J.B. Pritzger is my new hero, along with Janet Mills.

(Pritzger/Mills ticket in 2028?)

[Wild blueberry]

20. Great speech

Thank you.

[Karasu]

21. The party of "states' rights"...LOL.

...Unless we get to control the entire federal government.

[chicago guy]

25. Prtzker

He is a true leader, hope he is our next President.

[Dan]

32. The governor should have responded to this

“ The Trump administration argues that Title IX, the statute that prevents sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding, requires the government to "take all appropriate action to affirmatively protect all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms."

By saying, keeping you out of Maine would be the first step in protecting our female athletes so that you don’t grab them by the who-who.

[4catsmom]

33. I love Pritzker!

and the rest of them telling Trump to suck it

[mdbl]

35. States should withhold money they pay to the federal government

until the big A in the whitehouse learns to be a president instead of a big bully - or until Congress starts to do their jobs as the branch of government the uses it's power to override the executive branch.

[gulliver]

36. Ineffective rhetoric in this day and age I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how many people you can persuade with cautionary tales from a history no one knows, whether it is the history of the Nazis or even the history of the American dirtbags who wanted to march in Illinois a few decades later. I would even argue that both of those lessons are of little use in the modern world. It moves too fast, it's too superficial, and its rhetoric is fueled by an information volume and velocity that completely puts previous eras to shame.

We need to be "based." This absurd fight over Title IX, for example, is something I would say the Dem rank-and-file probably doesn't want prioritized. To say the least. Our leaders, if they are going to fight for things like federal school funds, reproductive freedom, Medicaid, and so forth, need to lead with those issues. We don't need to let Trump and Musk laugh at us and goad us into punching their fists with our faces.

And I love Pritzker and Illinois in general, btw. This is not a criticism of them!

[AdamGG]

37. There's going to be a strong field of Democratic Presidential candidates in 2028

Pritzker will probably be one of them.

[struggle4progress]

40. Bless him
