Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

The Trump administration's own statements suggest strongly that the entire purpose of Trump's diesel deal with Putin is to support Putin's war-making against Ukraine. It represents a switch in alignment of the US in this conflict, one which contradicts US law.
