Here's Mary Ann Lynch popping up for a 'woman on the street' quote in an LA Times piece on Susan Collins in 2020. The unavoidable inference is that legacy media outlets let the Collins campaign choose who gets quoted in their stories. PR masquerading as journalism. Unforgivable. #MEpolitics

We added red lines into the below Susan Collins campaign image to show how her red-shirted minions have effectively cloistered Collins off from unscreened folks who might have the temerity to puncture her bubble of sycophancy and e.g. ask a pointed question about bribery. #MEpolitics

And now Yougov has Susan Collins -5%. Bottom line: This is a close race that will be decided on the ground. Throw all the polls in the polling average and go about your business. (Especially if your business is making calls or knocking doors or texting relatives etc etc.) #MEpolitics

@propublica.org says Kao e-mailed this guy's wife (Susan Collins campaign finance chair) and told her to reallocate his excess (illegal) contributions to his father. "This is perfect" she e-mailed back per @propublica.org. "We are so grateful for ALL the Kao support!" True? False? #MEpolitics

Susan Collins campaign with a press conference on the @propublica.org story but the set-up only underscores the problem: The guy talking is the spouse of Collins 2020/2026 finance director who traded e-mails with Kao re: falsifying donor info. Of course he says nothing wrong was done! #MEpolitics

Video: In Maine, Swing Voters May Hold Key to Victory
Independent voters in Maine could decide the future of the Senate. We spoke with the voters in the swing county of Kennebec, which is critical to the election and possibly the control of Congress.

According to a post that we'll dig up tomorrow, it seems Susan Collins doesn't even travel in the same bus as her red-shirted clappers. She has her own bus. (Car?) Can't even bear to mix it up with her own supporters. #MEpolitics

New York Times comes pretty close to admitting that Susan Collins is running a Potemkin campaign. #MEpolitics
NYT: Most of her stops were sparsely attended, with the senator accompanied by her staff and met by volunteers and supporters who were trailing the bus through town.

An 82 year-old Mainer on a low-sodium diet due to severe arthritis resorting to eating higher-salt canned soups because she now gets $24 per month instead of $48. This is what Susan Collins has wrought -- all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. #MEpolitics

OK folks. We've officially reached the part of the cycle when upending the status quo requires action. That means signing up for a volunteer shift. Texting relatives etc. Even (especially?) folks who aren't predisposed to do this sorta stuff. The difference between winning and losing. #MEpolitics

In any case: Susan Collins's husband ran a K Street lobbying shop lobbying on behalf of big, wealthy, corporations while they were married. Whether they actually violated the rules or managed to skirt a violation by tiptoeing around them may be a distinction without too much difference. #MEpolitics
Maine Monitor article: Jefferson Business Consulting represented big-name lobbying clients such as defense contractor Lockheed Martin, telecommunications company AT&T, and kidney health services company DaVita while Daffron was Jefferson’s COO and he and Collins were married.

Maine Newsroom has thousands more followers on Instagram than Press Herald does so this seems like a smear job on a rival publication that is eclipsing the legacy outlet in relevance as much as anything else. (Doesn't make the piece any less lazy or sloppy or more defensible though.) #MEpolitics

Susan Collins sent $70,000,000,000 to a lawless Trump paramilitary after it had spent a year terrorizing Maine and other states. She doesn't get to feign surprise when they use that blank check to buy torture devices. #MEpolitics

Bluesky: Before responding to a headline like: "Platner To Speak At Rally" by asking "Why are Mainers so stupid?" maybe take a sec to consider why a small town's event is getting covered at all. Hint: Bangor Daily News exists to keep Susan Collins in office and thinks this helps her. #MEpolitics

Jokes are inevitable but when you put wildly incompetent people in charge of the nation's health and safety infrastructure as Susan Collins used her power to do...there are going to be health and safety consequences. It's not rocket science. #MEpolitics

Vintage Susan Collins. You've got a guy who very clearly has no business in the role Trump has tapped him for -- like Kavanaugh, like RFK Jr -- and she designs a fake "due diligence" process that hinges (pretends to) on narrow, irrelevant questions. Is anyone still fooled by this junk? #MEpolitics
DC Examiner reporter tweet: Cornyn tells me he spoke to Susan Collins “at length” about Blanche’s AG nomination last night:

“In her typical due diligence, she asked me a lot of questions.”

Says he’s “optimistic” about Blanche’s prospects on the Senate floor

Tipster suggests this is Miles Theeman (tinyurl.com/a58km7c9) who earned nearly $700K in 2016 as a VP at Northern Light Health per @propublica.org: tinyurl.com/zata2j4b. That's ≈ $1M in 2026 dollars. Susan Collins's surrogate is a guy who got rich off Mainers' health care? Makes sense. #MEpolitics

Finally, we wrote the reporter of the piece to ask about the origin of the story's detail on the house's previous ownership. The reporter replied to note property records are public, but didn't respond when we clarified, asking if the detail had been unearthed from an older article. 9/X
