Donald Trump is betraying Ukraine and the USA and violating his own Russian sanctions to buy oil from Russia because he’s terrified of losing the midterms because he’s in the Epstein Files over a million times.

FBI agents were circling Susan Collins and her operation. Then Donald Trump came back and dismantled the unit investigating. And now Susan Collins conveniently votes with him 96% of the time.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the White House to IMMEDIATELY restore the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters after President Trump barred the outlets from the White House. 1/
Screenshot of page 8 of a September 24, 2026 federal court order signed by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly. The order grants the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and directs White House officials, excluding President Trump, to immediately restore the “hard pass” press credentials of employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked around September 18, 2026. The temporary restraining order remains in effect for 14 days. The plaintiffs are also ordered to post a $1 bond by October 1, 2026. The page ends with “SO ORDERED,” Judge Kelly’s signature, title, and the date September 24, 2026.
