Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

As ICE continues to expand operations throughout the country, it's crucial that all Maine residents know their rights and how to find resources for support. See our quick reference guide, created with ILAP and Maine Law, and see all of our Know Your Rights materials at ACLUMaine.org/PreparingForICE

We’re hearing reports that DHS could launch increased immigration operations in Maine in the coming days. I know people are scared. Please know I stand firmly with our immigrant communities. We will NOT stand by as ICE, CBP, or any other agency terrorizes our communities and abducts our neighbors.

This is accurate. For Collins and Murkowski too. They like to trade off on oppositional votes when it looks like they could impact the outcome. If Collins really wanted to send this bill to the graveyard where it belongs, she would have done the work to form a 4-Senator bloc. #MEPolitics

Those of us in Maine who have tracked Sen. Susan Collins for years know that her vote against this bill ONLY came after her party had enough votes to pass the measure. Rs said last week they were going to find a way for her to vote no because she's in a tight re-election race next year. #MEPolitics

Last night the Senate held likely the most important vote of 2025-6, encapsulating essentially the entire GOP agenda for the term. Susan Collins cast a pivotal vote to get Trump's bill over the line, selling out the people of Maine. So how are Maine outlets covering it? PPH isn't. #MEpolitics

The President’s decision to bomb Iran without the authorization of Congress is reckless, unconstitutional, and puts countless lives at risk—including U.S. troops in the region. No President has the authority to launch a military attack against any country without Congressional authorization. (1/2)

Susan Collins has funneled $10K in recent years to a senator who's now making jokes about the assassination of a political rival -- and that doesn't include close to a million dollars she's sent to external groups that worked to elect him. How many fringe creeps have you sent $10K to? #MEpolitics

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
