Can Susan Collins point to a single deciding vote she’s made on any key piece of legislation or confirmation against Trump? No, she cannot. Her rare votes against are intentionally meaningless to fool Maine voters.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Utah combed its voter rolls and found only 27 confirmed noncitizens out of more than 2 million registered voters. Of those 27 noncitizens, only 13 had cast a ballot since 2018. But as the state’s Republican elections chief said, that’s not what Trump wanted to hear: demdock.com/4ejGo5Q

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
