Maine deserves a representative who actually lives here, not someone who left for Florida and never looked back. 📺️ Watch our new ad:

We know from ProPublica's reporting that in return for dangling a six-figure donation, future felon Martin Kao had extensive/personal access to Susan Collins's staff and the head of her super PAC (i.e. her husband's boss.) What do you think Musk gets for his support? #MEpolitics
New York Times:

Inside Elon Musk’s $276 Million Midterm Rescue Mission for Republicans
The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

Elon Musk’s super PAC is about to cross $1,500,000 to re-elect Susan Collins. Her response so far: “I wasn’t aware.” Not aware? Senator, it’s a public filing. Stop gaslighting us.

It is now one of the biggest facts in the world that the richest man in the world is an overt white supremacist trying to bend politics worldwide in the direction of white supremacy. Twitter isn't the source of his wealth but it is his biggest megaphone.

There is absolutely no difference between: 1) hiring thousands of ICE agents, pointing them at immigrant communities, and giving them a deportation quota...🤡 And 2) hiring thousands of cops, pointing them at Black communities, and giving them an arrest quota...🤡 It is exactly the same thing.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

It is remarkable how many Dems in competitive races are not doing the squishy bipartisanship tapioca routine and are instead just letting rip with these guys are a bunch of evil goddamned nazis who want to take all your rights and are also corrupt as fuck. It’s reading the room, I suppose.

This is horrifying and barbaric. We should not be executing ANYONE in America. Not by firing squad. And certainly not publicly. We need to abolish the federal death penalty and impeach this incompetent, insecure, and violent Defense Secretary.

Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics
Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."

It's eight years ago now so it can be hard to remember, but the sordid role Susan Collins played during the Kavanaugh nomination -- functioning as a sort of PR ambassador for the GOP and a stealth character assassin of Dr. Ford -- was despicable and disqualifying all by itself. #MEpolitics

The rural health transformation fund is quintessential Susan Collins. She wants credit for an inadequate fix to a problem she helped to create. And then that inadequate fix becomes even worse because of the Trump officials she voted for #mepolitics

Sounds like the debate went quite badly for Susan Collins (we didn't watch) but anyway if she wins there's a good chance Trump gets to appoint a 40 year-old anti-choice MAGA acolyte to replace Alito for the next 40 years. If she loses he probably doesn't. Those are some of the stakes. #MEpolitics

He doesn’t care that she confirmed tons of anti-choice judges. He doesn’t care that she voted for a federal budget that is already hurting Mainers and will hurt even more In the coming years. And he doesn’t care that Collins has been bought and paid for by billionaires and defense contractors.

Bill Green was wrong about Susan Collins six years ago, and he’s wrong now. Why should I listen to him anyway? He doesn’t care about the same things I do. He doesn’t care that she sided with trump again and again, against the interests of Mainers.
