The only direction we need to point fingers is up.

Susan Collins voted to strip billions of dollars from Medicare and Medicaid in Maine. But we can all rest easy knowing that Collins’s UnitedHealth stock is up 850%.

Our army of volunteers was out across the entire state of Maine today. We are still fighting for our freedoms, 250 years later.

They want us to own nothing. To rent you your home, your car, your entire life, while they sit in paradise, profiting off every second. But that is not the only option.

If Susan Collins could find time to break the STOCK Act 25 times, you’d think she could have found a free evening sometime this century to hold a single town hall.

Maine deserves a Senator who knows that answering to constituents is a privilege, not a burden. We've held 86 town halls to date, and we're going to keep having them through this election and beyond.

Wonder who’s paying for all those attack ads you see? Hint: It isn't Mainers.

Corporations like Live Nation are jacking up prices, screwing over artists, and slowly ruining live music. Break up Live Nation.

We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office. Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.

The projects that Susan Collins funds are a pittance compared to the trillions she gives in tax cuts to her billionaire donors and spends funding forever wars like the ones she sent me to fight in.

Susan Collins votes with Donald Trump 95% of the time. I will vote with Maine 100% of the time.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm. But multimillionaire Susan Collins violates the STOCK Act 25 times, and all she gets is a $200 fine.

I'm not going to Washington by myself.
 We're building a new generation of senators who are ready to fight for working people instead of billionaires.

Not a single Democrat or self-proclaimed moderate should vote to confirm anybody to the Supreme Court over the next two years. And if you have a problem with that, blame Mitch McConnell.

When I'm in the U.S. Senate, everyone involved in the reflecting pool disaster, and every other fraud, waste, and abuse coming out of this administration, will be dragged in front of Senate committees and investigated.

Susan Collins has the billionaires. The lobbyists. The Super PACs. The Washington establishment. But we have Maine.

Last week alone, Susan Collins voted to advance four more Trump judges who will serve lifetime appointments on the federal bench. When I'm in the Senate, that number will be zero.

The Supreme Court has become an institution that serves corporate power instead of the Constitution. If Democrats can’t figure out how to hold it accountable, working people don’t stand a chance.

Let’s debate then, Senator. And let’s do them town hall style. Refusing to hold a single town hall in almost 3 decades because you cannot defend your own record is disqualifying as Maine’s United States Senator.

I agree with Susan Collins that campaigns should be about the issues, our records, and our vision for Maine’s future. The issue is Senator Collins’ record of funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband’s lobbying firm. My vision is to make that illegal.

She got incredibly wealthy, funneling taxpayer money to her husband & profiting off stock trading while in office (violating the STOCK Act 25 times).

In a reasonable society, that would be criminal. Unfortunately, corrupt politicians like her still write our laws.

I am honored to have earned the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Mainers deserve a Senator who will fight tooth-and-nail to restore and protect reproductive freedom. Susan Collins is not that Senator. I will be.

Trump could have multiple Supreme Court vacancies to fill in the next two years. If we don't replace Susan Collins in November, we could have an extremist Court locked in for a generation.

The real problem isn't immigrants or trans kids. It's the Epstein class rigging the system and getting rich doing it.

Why do we treat the Supreme Court as if it’s the only branch of government without any checks or balances on its power? There's already a compelling case to impeach and remove at least two justices.
