Owned a small ME biz for 20yrs. The Chamber’s drive to cut regs & oppose biz taxes boil down to getting us small fry to carry water for big corps who benefit from reg cuts so they can kill local competition (us!) while using tax attorneys little guys can't afford. Shell game. #mepolitics #VoteBlue

We’re going to be inundated w/articles & opinion pieces about Susan Collins from now 'til Election Day. The one I want to read most is that she’s done, gone, lost her seat in the Senate to straight-talking Troy Jackson. Here’s a recent opinion piece. . . #MEpolitics #VoteHerOUT #JacksonForMaine

I was knocking on doors today in Farmington - someone I talked to said that a Collins canvasser had been there a few days ago. When she asked the canvasser a question he said "I don't know, I'm from Colorado." So she is using out-of-state money to pay for out-of-state canvassers. #mepolitics

This is not the slam some folks think it is, at all. The GOP and media is just trying to stir up shit. It's a nothing burger. No state has ever banned second cousin relationships at any time in U.S. history. #FactsMatter #GoAwayBot
Is It Legal to Marry Your Second Cousin

Marrying your second cousin is legal in all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and all US territories. No American jurisdiction has ever enacted a prohibition on second cousin marriage.

US marriage law prohibits marriages between people within certain “prohibited degrees of relationship.” Those prohibitions consistently cover parent-child, sibling, grandparent-grandchild, aunt/uncle-niece/nephew, and in many states, first cousins. Second cousins fall outside every state’s prohibited degrees list.

The reason second cousins are universally permitted is the degree of genetic relatedness. Second cousins share great-grandparents, not grandparents. They are separated by four degrees of kinship, a distance at which the law recognizes no meaningful basis for prohibition.

For a couple considering marriage, the practical takeaway is that a second cousin marriage in any US state will be processed through the marriage license clerk like any other legal marriage. No additional documentation, proof of relationship, or waiver is required.

The thing about the Biddeford ICE shooter being identified (David Michael Brouillette, let his name become radioactive) is it really highlights how none of the other ICE shooters have been. Not because any investigator cared to find it. Because his ex-wife came forward. Regular people being brave.

Except when it comes to fire houses, Susan Collins position is that she's just an observer. She has no agency over what the government does. Also: Her votes don't mean what everyone else understood them to mean and those votes don't make her responsible for events they set in motion. #MEpolitics
Tim Miller tweet: What is this statement?

Susan Collins is the chair of the appropriations committee. She is responsible for providing ICE the funds that led to the murder of a man in her state. Stop acting like a helpless bystander.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin has informed me that the Boston office of the DHS Inspector General has taken over the investigation of the Biddeford shooting in cooperation with the FBI.
