Gov. Mills (D-ME) tells President Trump: 'See you in court'

“You better do it because you’re not going to get federal funding,” Trump told Gov. Janet Mills during an event with the National Governors Association captured by a press pool recording.

“We’re going to follow the law sir. We’ll see you in court,” replied Mills, who is attending the organization’s winter summit.

“Enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be an elected official afterwards,” Trump responded. Mills’ second term ends in 2027.

Before the exchange, Mills and other Maine officials said the state would not be intimidated by Trump after the president singled out Maine during a Thursday speech at the Republican Governors Association meeting.


Do we want fighters in the House and Senate or not?

The age and *packaging* shouldn't matter. Who can beat the shit out of the magapub Fascist?

The people of Maine should get to hear the arguments of everyone regardless of gender or age and make a decision.

And directing everyone back to NJ 2024 - that was a brutal primary. But at the end of the day everyone coalesced around Andy Kim. Everyone coalesced around Sherrill this year. And just 8 years ago this state had a two term Republican Governor (Christie).

I'm so fucking sick.and tired of *establishment dems* and the word *rigged*.

At this point its a tired old trope. If we have an election next year that is FREE AND FAIR - it will be existential for many of us. It is good vs evil.
