We stand with Indivisibles and our partners demanding Oscar Belgal’s release, a full independent investigation, and immediate release of the body camera footage. And we join them in urging the public not to shop at Target until they stop letting DHS use their parking lots as staging sites for ICE!

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.

Three months ago today, ICE murdered Johan Sebastián Guerrero on the streets of Biddeford. Senator Collins said she was going to get ICE out of Maine, but instead handed over $70 billion to them without guardrails or accountability. Mainers are ready to hold her accountable.

Sen. Mark Warner: "there is a fundamental difference between carrying out a lawful sentence and turning an execution into a public spectacle. Public executions are the hallmark of authoritarian regimes like Iran and North Korea, not the [USA]... bluevirginia.us/2026/10/vide...
"Warner Condemns Trump’s Push for Public Execution

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s push to publicly execute the perpetrator of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting:

“The Fort Hood shooting was a horrific act of violence that took 13 innocent lives and devastated military families. The perpetrator was convicted and sentenced to death, and nothing changes the gravity of his crimes. But there is a fundamental difference between carrying out a lawful sentence and turning an execution into a public spectacle.

“Public executions are the hallmark of authoritarian regimes like Iran and North Korea, not the United States of America. There is a reason that almost no countries in the world engage in this barbaric practice. Beyond the profound moral concerns, a public execution could hand terrorist organizations a propaganda victory, fuel radicalization, and put American service members, diplomats, and citizens overseas at greater risk. Justice for the victims does not require creating unnecessary threats to our national security.

“Unfortunately, this is part of a much broader pattern. From proposing public executions to threatening to interfere in our elections, President Trump continues to challenge the principles and practices that distinguish America from authoritarian regimes. With the election just weeks away, I am particularly concerned about his willingness to abuse the powers of the federal government to interfere with how Americans cast their ballots and how those votes are counted. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy, and we cannot allow the United States to go down the path of countries where those in power decide whether and how elections take place.”"
