On Indigenous Peoples Day, I recognize the Wabanaki people, the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Mi’kmaq, who have cared for this land since long before Maine was Maine. In Congress, I’ll stand with the Wabanaki Nations on sovereignty and on protecting the land we all call home.

Susan Collins remains incredibly out of touch with Mainers. Still no regret on Kavanaugh, tried to use lacking healthcare for one year (one!) as some sort of shared struggle, and continues to talk about Maine electric prices while failing to stop the Iran war and attacks on renewables. #mepolitics

Trump's Big Bad Bill has taken food assistance away from 7,000 Maine kids. It's shameful. mainemorningstar.com/2026/09/30/a...
Shows an article from Maine Morning Star. The headline reads 'Almost 23,000 Mainers lost food assistance this year-- see how many live in your town'. It shows rural Maine has been hit hardest.

Apparently the Army never got / processed my paperwork to leave the IRR. I basically found that out today when I got a message congratulating me on my selection for promotion to Major and had a friend confirm that my name really is on the list. I haven’t done Army things since 2021. Wild.

I already had severe concerns about how the military operated before I left the force a few years ago. Now those concerns seem minuscule compared to what we are seeing today. We need to stop and remove Hegseth. Vote for Troy Jackson so that Susan Collins can’t stop us from doing so. #mepolitics
Hegseth unveils Project Meridian, naming Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich to co-lead the effort under the department's Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael.

Today, Trump’s tariffs go into effect. Despite what Trump says, these sweeping tariffs will only hurt us— and all Collins can tell us is how concerned she is. Mainers need a Senator who will actually stand up to Trump and stop screwing over working people.

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
