If recent history is any guide, the party that canceled common sense may be canceled by the voters it took for granted.
If Democrats in Vacationland thought the censure of Rep. Laurel Libby would put an end to the education policy debate surrounding Title IX—and the participation of biological men in women’s sports—they’ve misread the moment, misread federal law, and badly misread their voters.
What was meant to silence dissent has only amplified it. What was supposed to end the debate has cracked it wide open.
In March, I wrote about how Democrats’ schizophrenic treatment of women’s sports—both existential and irrelevant, depending on the news cycle—was a political liability that helped cost them the 2024 election. Today, in Maine, that liability is becoming a full-blown revolt.
And yet, what are Governor Janet Mills and House Speaker Ryan Fecteau doing with this information? They’re ignoring it—and worse, they’re escalating.
While federal agencies investigate the University of Maine for potential Title IX violations, Maine Democrats are pushing legislation to mandate LGBTQ+ curriculum across public schools—from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It’s not enough to censure dissent. Now, they want to codify orthodoxy.
Libby was not just censured—her constituents were effectively erased from the legislative process for the audacity of posting two photos that exposed a truth the left couldn’t rebut. Fifth place in the boys’ division. First place in the girls’. One athlete. No words needed.
Fecteau reacted like a scalded Maine Coon Cat, clawing wildly at the messenger instead of addressing the message. They couldn’t defend the policy—so they weaponized the rhetoric instead.
Significantly, this week the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 7–2 decision, issued a temporary order restoring Rep. Libby’s right to vote. It was a no-brainer—a textbook constitutional violation if ever there were one.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
What a great example of mass psychosis the left is demonstrating every day.
Deep State isn’t worried.
As long as Msine still has RCV.
“SCOTUS issued a temporary order restoring Rep. Libby’s right to vote.“
Damn. Another TEMPORARY non-solution solution. Nothing gets,decided permanently.
Comments BUMP!!!
"See you in court" <-- intended to faze Trump.
Didn't realize that's how New Yawkers say "Good Morning."
People vote democrat for a number of reasons and interests. The Constitution and the welfare of the nation called America are secondary to their reasoning. We have witnessed corruption, criminality and deception mostly within the democrat party and its supporters (institutions, media, NGOs) at a level never before seen. Sadly, we hear democrats and pundits: lying, deflecting, gas lighting the reality most Americans understand - and democrats continue to believe the lies and deception.
The 2024 election shows us that a few democrats and independents have been red pilled and now understand the evil that the democrat party represents. Let's pray this continues.
If they were still voting Dem, then why does Maine have RCV...?
I can’t understand why very homely men identify as women. Weird crap.
That’s a man, baby!
This is an issue that turned even many White left leaning suburban women away from the Democrats and toward the Republicans. Its an amazingly stupid hill for the Democrats to die on but they’re determined to do exactly that.
The public is not for this tranny crap. Not suburban White women. Not actual feminists. Not Blacks. Not Hispanics. Nobody except the tranny lobby and really really hard core Leftists supports his - and that’s not anywhere close to enough to win elections.
Voterid and revoking Ranked Choice Voting are the only two effective moves to save the state.
...And Susan Collins to help pick up the slack.
There’s one more and it’s a necessity, too.
Go back to dumb voting machines.
NYC now has RCV for mayorals.
If Gotham is so true blue, why is that...? 🤔
But Maine pubs can’t get traction.
The radical Left policies are 86ing Dems who embrace it, which is nice.
Because the Dems have weakened and destroyed the state and local GOP parties by piecemealing out some patronage jobs to keep them quiet and in line. So funding opposition candidates and an army of on the ground support is impossible due to the weakened state GOP Party. Same thin in most New England states.
