Susan Collins voted to hand ICE a $70 billion blank check with zero guardrails—and even voted against requiring agents to wear body cameras. I’m sick of her tired "concerns" while refusing to hold them accountable.
 Tonight, she’ll have to answer for it.

On Friday, ICE detained a Maine father on his way to visit his deaf son at school. This breaks my heart. Susan Collins gave ICE a blank check. Families like this one are paying the price. Senator, spare us your “concern.” www.sunjournal.com/2026/10/13/s...

If you give me the honor of the power to represent you in the United States Senate, here’s what I want to do… I want Medicare for All. I want to take on Big Pharma nationally. I want strong unions, good schools, & an economy where the people who do the work get to share the wealth that they create.

Susan Collins had the power to vote no or stop the funding from passing, but she chose to give Trump what he wanted—billions of our tax dollars going to ICE. ICE must be abolished.

Yeah, Cynthia went over to the dark side, wacky noodle division, a while ago. She kind of sputters away to herself most of the time in Cape E, pops her head up from time to time to oppose work force housing projects and stuff. Not surprising, sadly.
