If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Credit to Press Herald for connecting the dots among Susan Collins campaign, her super PAC and her fundraising consultant -- which share in common that they were looped in on efforts to collude with a felon/donor to obtain illegal donations. Team Collins has no real response to this. #MEpolitics
Press Herald headline: Susan Collins still working with operatives tied to straw donation scheme
Fundraising consultant MacKenzie Dolan’s firm, The Morning Group, is providing services to Collins and her super PAC.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

PSA: No Kings is a coalition, not an org, and it does not do fundraising appeals for itself. Partner orgs raise money for costs we're incurring to put it on. But if you get a text from "NO KINGS" or a PAC you've never heard of before asking for $ that is a scam and you should block/shame away.
