Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

I-638 would require genital inspections before children can play a sport, which is bad enough BEFORE you get to the part where it’s *only for girls sports*. So they are trying to mandate genital inspections for girls, and of course the parents would be paying for it. NOPE

Susan Collins voted with Trump 96% of the time. And if she votes against Republicans, she waits until her vote won’t change the outcome. Mainers aren’t stupid. We deserve a fighter who will actually stand up to Trump.
