Letters to the Senator @ltrstothesenator.bsky.social · 02/12/2024
Mainers, start your Monday morning off right with a letter to your senator! Need an idea? How about demanding she refuse to confirm Kash Patel and the other that comprise Trump's clown car of cabinet picks.

Important reminders from In this moment, Trump’s people are working hard to convince Americans that they have gathered up all the power in Washington, D.C., but that power is actually still sloshing around. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-2...

Mainers, we want your letters to read via livestream to "Our Senator" -- 250 words or less on any topic. Need ideas? How about Collins' confirmation votes for Gorsuch and Kavenaugh to the Supreme Court, who then dismantled abortion rights for women? #mepolitics www.propublica.org/article/pors...

From the article: Imagine that you are a foreign leader who wishes to destroy the United States. How could you do so? The easiest way would be to get Americans to do the work themselves, to somehow induce Americans to undo their own health, law, administration, defense, and intelligence.

Mainahs have you written a letter to the senator yet? If you care about health, longevity, and quality of life, perhaps you should write a letter about the cabinet nomination or Robert F Kennedy Jr to head up Health & Human Services. Millions could needlessly die if Susan Collins confirms him.

Mainahs! Take a break from raking up the leaves this weekend and write a Letter to the Senator. Need some inspo? How about Hegseth to head up Defense? Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a former Marine Corps officer, said he believes Hegseth is “going to try very hard to politicize the military.”

Help us #resist by sharing the post below on your skyline. Share it with anyone from Maine! Susan Collins isn't going to do anything to protect democracy unless Mainers' voices are heard loud and clear. We received our first letter yesterday but we're going to need a lot more. #Maine #resistance

Susan Collins votes to block the nomination of another highly qualified Biden judicial nominee. Kasubhai -- a federal magistrate judge and former state judge rated 'well-qualified' by the ABA -- is the 69th Biden nominee Collins has sided against, overwhelmingly women and minorities. #mepolitics

For the 3rd time today, Susan Collins votes against a "well-qualified"-rated Biden judicial nominee. Pennell is the 71st Biden nominee she's sided against overall. Last time under Trump, Collins helped confirm a 33-year-old 'unqualified'-rated nominee who'd never even tried a case #mepolitics

Susan Collins, whose brand is built around the idea that she's a straight-shooter who loathes partisanship, just voted against 3 highly-qualified Dem judicial nominees in one day. That's more than she voted against in 8 years of George W. Bush and the first 2 years of Trump combined. #mepolitics

Trump posted this today and then, for the first time that I can recall, Susan Collins voted against three Biden judicial nominees in a row. #mepolitics

Did Susan Collins vote to reject three eminently qualified, mainstream Biden judge nominees at the same time she's tiptoeing around Trump's burn-it-all-down, authoritarian picks as a way to suck up to the MAGA lord? Or just because she's a GOP team player? Does the answer really matter? #mepolitics

Resharing this post because today would be a *great* day for Mainers to write a letter to Susan Collins telling her to stop being partisan and stop holding up confirmation of qualified, competent and fair minded nominees for judges. #mepolitics #maine #ussenate
