Proud single mom. Foul-mouthed former English teacher fed up with the misogyny, racism, and bigotry fueling our nation.

Here's a nearly 10-minute supercut of Troy Jackson taking it to Susan Collins during their debate tonight, including Jackson telling her "you can't eat road salt" and "Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics
Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."

Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

We're losing our health care here in Maine so Susan Collins can give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax cuts. I support Medicare for All so people across the state have health care.

Tonight is my first of four debates with Senator Susan Collins. Eight years ago today, she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade—and she still says she doesn’t regret her vote. I’m fired up and ready to hold her accountable.

Susan Collins cannot be trusted with voting on our next Supreme Court Justice. She voted for the three justices that overturned Roe v. Wade. And she's going to do the same damn thing if Alito retires unless we win this election.

In December I wrote to Susan Collins asking how her vote to confirm RFK jr has improved the health of Mainers. This is the ridiculous response I received. She defends the many times she has spoken up against him clearly not grasping the irony.

Susan, you can’t vote with Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies 96% of the time, then show up every six years and pretend you give a damn about working families. Mainers see through your BS. Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend, wherever you were.

When Susan Collins had a chance to block Trump's blanket tariffs from driving up costs, she voted no. I'm sick of her letters. I'm sick of her “concern.” It's time Mainers had someone in the U.S. Senate who will actually stand up for them.

JD Vance called Susan Collins his “dear friend.” No wonder why — she's voted for Trump's agenda 96% of the time. I don’t need a half-dozen meetings with JD Vance or to pal around with billionaire hedge fund executives to know what Mainers are dealing with every day.

Susan Collins voted against body cameras for ICE. Then she voted to hand Trump’s immigration machine another $70 billion. Now DHS wants to equip ICE agents with electric-shock gloves? Actions have consequences and it’s time we vote Susan Collins out to protect our communities.
