Ossoff: "How can a sitting congressman vote to shut down a labor and delivery unit in his own district? Delivering mothers in Mike Collins's district now have to drive an hour to get to a labor and delivery unit while they're in labor while we already a maternal mortality crisis."

El-Sayed: "You just heard something out of my opponent. He said he 'thinks the war is going to end.' He's got a direct line to the president who is making sure the war does not end and he's not using it because he's cheerled this war the entire time."

El-Sayed: "The reason he's flip-flopping has nothing to do with policy, nothing do with your costs. It everything to do with his sagging poll numbers ... He's doing an ad drinking a Labatts, talking about the Red Wings, pretending he was not for this the entire time. Be serious, my guy."

Senator Collins keeps telling us how powerful she is, but for who? Families struggling to afford groceries, medicine, and heating oil shouldn’t have to write a campaign check to get their senator’s attention. I don’t owe the billionaires anything. I owe Maine everything.

Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.

In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe of politicians including Sen. Susan Collins — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. ProPublica has revealed the ...

The FBI was circulating Susan Collins for pay-to-play allegations after a major donor received millions in federal contracts. Then, Trump dismantled the unit investigating. It's no wonder she's voted with him 96% of the time. It’s time for Collins to answer to Mainers.

Susan Collins voted with Trump 96% of the time. And if she votes against Republicans, she waits until her vote won’t change the outcome. Mainers aren’t stupid. We deserve a fighter who will actually stand up to Trump.

This campaign is about how the people of Maine know that our government is fundamentally flawed—and Senator Collins won't do anything about it. After 30 years, she keeps telling us how powerful she is. What good is that power if she won't use it to stand up and fight for us?

I’ve spent most of my life working along the border. Up in the County, we know better than anyone that Donald Trump's tariffs are a tax on Mainers who are already struggling and can’t afford another hit.

Eight years ago this week, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. And when Roe was overturned thanks to her, I sponsored the strongest abortion protection law in the nation, and I made sure that reproductive care was covered by MaineCare. Abortion is health care.

Senator Collins said she was going to get ICE out of Maine, but she has failed to do that. Even further, she handed over $70 billion to ICE without guardrails or accountability. And Maine paid the price.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

A new Pew Research Center poll has Trump’s approval rating plunging to just 30% — his lowest showing in a high-quality poll this term. His previous low was 31% in a recent AP-NORC poll. A whopping 68% of Americans now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job.

Trump: "We will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections"
We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! President DONALD J. TRUMP
