Your vote is not small to the people spending millions to make sure you never cast it. They know what happens when working people, young people, women, and every fed-up voter show up together. We flip Congress. They lose control. That’s the whole assignment. #BlueWaveIn30Days

Eight years ago tomorrow, Susan Collins came out for Kavanaugh. She promised he wouldn’t overturn Roe. But she knew he would. She lied. Maine is done. We’re voting for Troy Jackson.

Susan Collins’ took campaign donations from a known Epstein client. #MEPolitics
Wednesday: Epstein’s billionaire client. Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million, and last month the House held him in contempt for defying its subpoenas. Susan Collins’ campaign took checks from Black and his wife three days after the New York Times exposed those payments, then took $7,000 more from his wife last December. Dan Sullivan’s campaign took their money too.
