Family medicine direct primary care physician in Maine, musician, horse person, boy mom, vegan, animal lover, advocate for liberty and justice for all.https://bsky.app/profile/mountainsongdoctor.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mountainsongdoctor.bsky.social/post/3mwstjvx5v22rScreenshot from the top articles in the Portland Press Herald this morning. We are not doing well in Maine with the economy that drumpf tanked and it hasn’t even started to get cold yet. However, Susan Collins isn’t hurting with her pay-to-play scandal. Vote for Troy Jackson. We need help.01 Oct 2026 12:15 +0000at://did:plc:strpyhqr2kzoiw36f7p5cb2n/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwstjvx5v22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/mountainsongdoctor.bsky.social/post/3mwq7swb7ik2zI used to use USPSTF guidelines every day. There is no logical reason for why RFK Jr meddled with their work other than for his own vanity to replace science with quackery. It’s astonishing the number of institutions this administration has destroyed in such a short time.

Notice which side they are supporting, and use your voting power to get them out of power.

Please read it and spare your primary care doctor a call about the color of your mucous when you are otherwise recovering as expected from a viral respiratory infection. They will thank you!

Make no mistake: if LePage and Collins win, they will be endebted to the oligarchs and continue drumpf’s bidding. Vote for Troy Jackson and Matt Dunlap. We deserve to have our voices heard!

The way these top-heavy hospitals and corrupt insurance companies exist is by squeezing more and more patient appointments in a day out of the doctors. I’m happily free now.

I have been the MD “riding the bed” and being scrubbed in for an emergency c-section for cord prolapse. It’s terrifying. L&D closures will cost lives.

Here’s a hint: it’s not working class folks in Maine. Also, this is how scared they are of Troy Jackson, as they should be!

This is the strategy of the drumpf administration. Smoke and mirrors - blame Biden, blame Obama, blame Fauci. Say it louder so the base believes it. Repeat it so it must be true. Don’t fall for it. In 2008 Fauci was my med school commencement speaker. He was revered.
