I don't care if you are the "Keating Five" (mostly democrats), Tom Delay or sweet, matronly "moderate" Susan Collins. That's my GD money! The present cancer on the body politic is the Republican Party. Vote them out of office. Every one of them. Local. State. Federal.

No body camera footage. Hey Susan Collins! I would understand your insistence on purchasing those cameras if they were manufactured here in Maine. But why support worthless equipment if you don't benefit?

Last night, Susan Collins cast the tie-breaking vote to advance Trump’s radical anti-abortion judicial nominee. Last week, she said she’s “always been pro-choice.” Senator Collins, you are a liar. A snake. Maine is done with you.

Yes, Collins is endorsed by the right wing Koch funded group that tried its damnedest to defeat Maine’s Paid Family & Medical Leave and will in the future work to dilute and destroy it. Susan Collins never sides with workers. Why would we want six more years of that. #MESen #mepolitics #VoteBlue

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Schumer (who we're no fan of) couldn't have had LESS to do w/ Troy Jackson's victory but that's not the point here. The point is to trot out an antisemitic trope about a Jew "pull[ing] the strings" as a dog whistle for Susan Collins to show affinity with bigoted support. Beyond vile. #MEpolitics

This shows the canyon that exists between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats - both voters and politicians - view the project as citizens. The Republican voter views the project as a petulant consumer and their leaders act like snake oil salesmen.

Dear Senator Collins,
I need answers to the following questions as I consider the 2026 election:
•	Who won the 2020 presidential election?
•	When will you attend a town hall to meet with your constituents?
•	When did you visit the Scarborough Detention Center? Tell me what you found:
o	Did you sample the food? 
o	Are lawyers allowed in? 
o	Is clergy admitted?
•	Does it matter to you that Joan Sebastian Guerrero was here legally?
•	How are you going to vote on Todd Blanche for Attorney General?
•	How are you going to vote on Jay Clayton for Director of National Intelligence?
•	How are you going to vote on Dr. Erica Schwartz for Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?
•	Will you oppose the SAVE Act if your vote will keep it from passing?
•	Are you still satisfied with your vote for Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court?
I look forward to your answers.

In the highly unscientific yard sign poll, the only Collins signs in town are in the yards of the Uber MAGA people--and there are very few. The normie Republicans don't have Collins signs this year--a total inversion from signage in 2020. And....no one has removed their Platner sign.

This is who Susan Collins really is - she wouldn’t outright say she’d tolerate the ‘KKK’ but based on real observations if you’re ‘KKK-R,’ she’ll do a photo op with you, endorse you for office, and even have her Dirigo PAC cut you a max check. #resist #mepolitics #VoteBlue #MESen

But not “concerned” enough to call Thune, demand the Senate recess end with an immediate session to rein him in, exhort the House to impeach, and make a “Declaration of Conscience.” Because that’s what the moment demands Senator Collins. Nothing else counts. #resist #mepolitics #VoteBlue #MESen

This is precisely the type of coddling Collins gets from the press all the time, “is known to oppose the most extreme parts of…Trump’s agenda.” His entire agenda is extreme but apparently opposing the “most extreme” makes you a moderate? Act to oppose is the true test. #mepolitics #MESen #VoteBlue

This is wild. Nice scoop from Channa Steinmetz. As far as we can tell -- and we watch pretty closely -- Susan Collins hasn't been asked a single on-the-record/direct question about abortion by any member of the Maine press since the Dobbs decision four years ago. Think about that. #MEpolitics
