![NY Times article: On that night last summer, Ms. Collins had
the chance to [block Trump’s agenda]. The
senator, the chairwoman of the committee
that controls federal spending, was deeply
opposed to a bill Mr. Trump had demanded
to cancel $9 billion in foreign aid and
public broadcasting money that Congress
had approved.
She had prepared an amendment to shield
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
from the cuts, a move that had bipartisan
support. But if she succeeded,
conservatives loyal to the president would
all but certainly refuse to back the
spending cuts. Given Republicans’ slim
majority, their opposition could have
doomed the bill, blocking Mr. Trump’s plan
altogether.
After hours of wavering, Ms. Collins
decided not to try to make the change. In
what amounted to a largely symbolic move,
she voted “no,” on the bill, registering her
opposition to revoking the spending even
though it was clear the measure had
enough Republican votes to pass.
That is just what happened. A week later,
the cuts were enacted as Mr. Trump
wanted.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kvityvfmxlhrepqg5kugljtd/bafkreia3yo4iwsyoueih4kagtvbnf6o4s4cvungdtfe5ec74f7lvpetj7i)
