My name is Paige Loud and I'm a social worker running for Congress in Maine's Second District because it's time to elect leaders qualified for a new era of politics. Nobody Fights Alone.

Federal agents abandoned a blind father alone in the cold. He escaped genocide in Burma only to die from CBP's inhumane actions. He should be alive, and we demand an investigation into those who killed him. We must abolish ICE and remove federal agents from our communities.

New reporting by journalist @Aída Chávez tells of establishment leadership’s attempts to prevent @RoKhanna and @RepThomasMassie from stopping Trump from going to war with Iran. To Jeffries and Schumer, I say NO, the American people do not want this war.

2 years ago, Aaron Bushnell, an Air Force serviceman, set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in protest of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. In his memory and in the memory of all those Israel has killed, we continue to call for an end to the genocide. Free Palestine.

The Democrats who stood and applauded Trump's senseless threats of violence overseas should be ashamed. Iranian freedom will never come about from American bombs being dropped on their houses. We remember Iraq. #SOTU2026 #Peace #mepolitics #Maine

I can’t believe I just heard Trump try to claim again that he’s some sort of peacetime President as he threatens war with Iran, continues to fund the genocide of Palestinians, and attempts to colonize Gaza. Disgusting. #SOTU2026 #mepolitics #Maine #WartimePresident

Trump says we need to end political violence. I agree. But we need to end homelessness, poverty, medical debt, and our own bombs doing genocide, just as much as individual acts of violence. #SOTU2026 #Maine #mepolitics #Violence

Trump has no right to pretend to care about the safety of children while his DOJ allows Epstein's co-conspirator pedophiles and rapists to live free without even attempting to put them in prison. #SOTU2026 #Epstein #ProtectTransKids #Maine #mepolitics

Reps Omar and Tlaib are 100% correct, ICE’s actions amount to nothing less than murder. We need abolishment, prosecution, and accountability for ICE and the officials who order them to commit crimes NOW. #AbolishICE #SOTU2026 #Maine #mepolitics

Immigrants aren’t the existential threat to American lives. ICE is. Ask the families of Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, all killed in the last couple months by Trump’s unaccountable domestic army. #AbolishICE #SOTU2026 #Maine

It is despicable that Trump can claim that he is protecting Medicare when he passed the Big Beautiful Bill, which will slash Medicare and cause rural hospitals that are desperately needed for Mainers to close. #SOTU2026 #BBB #Maine #mepolitics

Privatizing our energy grid will never work for us. Mainers know: our corporate monopoly-owned CMP and Versant raised our rates higher than anywhere else in the US, thanks to lobbyists influencing our government to protect foreign corporate interests. #mepolitics #SOTU2026 #Maine

Establishment Democrats are afraid to say it, but Trump is right. Plans on the ACA marketplace are unaffordable. That’s why we need universal single-payer healthcare. M4A NOW #SOTUS2026 #Maine #mepolitics

The Trump administration pretends there isnt an affordability crisis. They are bought by megacorps and billionaires who profit from the crushing cost of living in this country. Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Affordable Groceries NOW. #SOTU2026 #Affordability #Maine

And RIGHT on time, Trump touts the DOW being over 50000, which we all know doesn’t mean a damn thing to the people down here, who still can’t afford our rent or groceries

We don't need more lies from Republicans on their tax cuts. We know what that means: more cuts for megacorporations and the 1% while everyday people are left without healthcare, rent, and groceries. It's how we got in this mess to begin with. #SOTU2026 #Maine

The president bragged about high property values. In Maine, that means high property taxes, which are boxing out new homeowners and trapping older Mainers from downsizing. We need a new vision of guaranteed housing in America. #SOTU2026 #Maine

Raise your hand if you’ve paid $1.85/gallon for gas. Not me! #SOTU2026

My respect to Rep. Al Green for again disrupting this fascist president’s State of the Union. This is the absolute minimum energy we need in Congress. Not just for speeches, but for disrupting every part of the Billionaire agenda using every tool at our disposal. #SOTU2026

While the President protects his billionaire pedophile friends, I can't help but think about all the other young women who go unheard. I've shared my thoughts in my latest substack post.
