Maine Governor Janet Mills: A Shero Who DESTROYED Trump.

Governor Janet Mills of Maine decisively defeated Donald Trump during a closed-door press conference.

You’ve likely heard the name Janet Mills in the past 24 hours, and trust me, it’s a name you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the years to come. Who is she? Janet Mills—the Governor of Maine. She’s the leader who doesn’t seek the spotlight, preferring to do the heavy lifting behind the scenes, away from the media circus, and out of the limelight. Her leadership is rooted in action, not self-promotion. And now, after years of hard, uncelebrated work, she is finally receiving the praise she deserves—praise that’s long overdue.

This recognition didn’t come from some PR stunt or carefully crafted campaign. It came when Janet Mills found herself face-to-face with Donald Trump during a closed-door gathering with our nation’s governors. In that moment, Mills did something few dared to do—she stood up to Trump, and she did it with the kind of backbone that makes her a true leader.

You may have seen the video, but if not, trust me, you’ll want to watch it. It’s a game-changer.

In the video, we see the power dynamics at play, and it’s clear that while Trump may have thought he could bully and intimidate, Governor Mills wasn’t having any of it. When he presented his "ring" for her to kiss, she slapped his hand away. When he threatened Maine with legal action, she fired back with unflinching confidence, saying, “We’ll see you in court.”

Here’s how it went:

Trump: “Is Maine here, the governor of Maine?”

Mills: “I’m here.”

Trump: “Are you not going to comply with it?”

Mills: “I’m complying with state and federal laws.”

Trump: “We are the federal law.”

Mills: “We’re going to follow the law.”

Trump: “You’d better comply… Otherwise, you’re not getting any federal funding.”

Mills: “We’ll see you in court.”

That moment was pivotal.

Donald Trump has used this kind of intimidation tactic against governors time and time again—particularly with Democratic leaders—but unlike so many of their Republican counterparts, Democratic governors aren’t bending the knee. They’re pushing back. And Janet Mills is now at the forefront of this resistance.

Just like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is actively pursuing legal action against Trump for freezing federal funding, Mills is giving the former president a taste of his own medicine. This is what America needs right now.

We need leaders who won’t back down, who won’t buckle under pressure. We need Democratic governors who are willing to fight for what’s right. And right now, Janet Mills is doing just that.

We can’t afford to leave these battles to chance. We need more leaders like her—governors who are ready to take on the tough fights, no matter how powerful the opposition.

And here’s where you come in. I’m writing to you today, not just to share the remarkable story of Janet Mills but to ask for your support in our fight for truth and justice.

In a time when corporate media and traditional journalists are compromising their integrity and bowing to corporate interests, I promise you this: I will never succumb to that pressure. My commitment is to stand for the truth—always.

With the current administration threatening to undermine journalists who dare to speak the truth, it’s more important than ever to support independent, honest journalism.

If you believe in the power of truth, I hope you’ll consider supporting my work by upgrading your subscription here on my Substack.

Together, we can fight for democracy and for the country that we deserve.
