Mainers, you can't say you oppose Trump and all the bad things he has done and be upset about the economy and price of everything, and then vote to re-elect Susan Collins. She has voted 95% of the time for Trump policies and has done zero to hold him accountable.

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

The Teapot Dome scandal involved $400,000 in 1923 dollars. Huge scandal, taught in every HS history book, almost the synonym for "corruption." In 2026 dollars, Teapot Dome was a hair under $8 *M*illion. With an M. Not a B. M. The scope of corruption under Trump 2--plus its nakedness--is epochal.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.
