Facts not in dispute: Susan Collins finance director and her husband's boss BOTH colluded with a felon donor to obtain separate illegal campaign donations. Denying this amounts to 'wrongdoing' is just further confirmation that Collins's moral compass is broken. #MEpolitics

There have been a couple news stories quoting Mainers who either hadn't heard about the @propublica.org's corruption revelations or didn't think they represented anything unusual or unusually disturbing. Here's a video Mainers can send folks in their lives who fall in those categories. #MEpolitics

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Seen enough? She may as well resign now. This is Collins defense of bribery. “Rights of contractors to make political donations?”As far as I’m concerned the practice should be completely banned. Otherwise you get compromised Senators like Collins. #MESen #mepolitics #VoteBlue

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Geez, disclosure might force sleazy government contractors to donate to Collins through fake entities like "the Society of Young Women Scientist and Engineers" Also the law might force that too. As @propublica.org noted "Government contractors are banned from making political contributions"

Lifelong Republican from a small town in deep red western Maine: It's time for Susan Collins to go. "I am no particular fan of Mr. Jackson, but I am sure he will stand in robust opposition to the menace in the White House. Country over party." #MEpolitics

Press Herald letter: This lifelong Republican says it’s time for Sen. Collins to go. The reason is simple: her support for Trump.
I have written the senator for more than eight years, always asking for a response. I’ve never gotten one. Odd, considering when I’ve written to Sen. King, I’ve gotten three pages of soggy prose that didn’t address the point.
But the issue is Collins’ support for Trump; her votes for his minions who are harming the American order and her limp opposition when it’s apparent her vote isn’t needed shows me she’s chosen party over country.
I am no particular fan of Mr. Jackson, but I am sure he will stand in robust opposition to the menace in the White House. Country over party.

PPH memoryholes Susan Collins camp's answer from the day before -- when her deputy chief of staff said Collins DID call Kao. (tinyurl.com/2pja4fhj) Beyond that, notice her team being careful not to outright *deny* a call. Trying to hedge in case evidence of a call surfaces. #MEpolitics

If Susan Collins didn't illegally coordinate with the super PAC run by her spouse's boss then the answer to the question is easy: 'There was no call. Period.' After all she had no way to know Kao gave the $$ unless the PAC told her! That they can't/won't say this gives the game away. #MEpolitics
