Maine Governor Janet Mills here with an important update.
On Friday at a bipartisan meeting of governors, Donald Trump threatened to deny Maine school children federal funding unless we fall in line with his personal demands.

I was raised to be brave and to fight for what’s right.
No matter the obstacles, I will always fight for the people of Maine.
Our future right now is threatened by a wannabe strongman in the White House who is playing games with federal funding.
We will not be bullied.
But our state is the frontline in the fight for democracy.
