Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · yesterday

Susan Collins hasn't changed? From 1997 - 2016 she voted with the GOP on party line votes 59% of the time. In 2017 she voted with Trump 90% of the time. In 2025 she voted with him 95%. So many media folks desperate to make the pickle Collins finds herself in someone else's fault. #MEpolitics

The John Fetterman-Dave McCormick joint fundraising committee Common Ground PA raised $261K. Is that a paltry sum, or a poultry sum? Well, much of the organic support came from eight Bell & Evans 🐓 executives ($50K) and six members of the Jaindl 🦃 family ($45K). docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/form...

I was sad but not surprised to see that Commissioner Alan Kensek used his ANC email for snide remarks on the body of a female politician he dislikes. This is part of a pattern where after, say, 8 or 9pm, the tone of his emails changes drastically. bsky.app/profile/anot...

4. In 1B05 Lisa Rucker is running against Commissioner Alan Kensek. Alan is known for horrible behavior and especially egregious treatment of women. He appallingly used his government email to publicly comment on Councilmember Nadeau’s weight. #ANCRacesToWatch

Email from Alan Kensek 1B05@anc.dc.gov. Subject: Current resolution regarding 14th ST clean-up Thank you all. The Councilmember who has represented the U street area for 11 years as a COUNCILMEMBER. When asked by the COMMISSION, she had zero response. Nodo (Nadeau) has allowed for this garbage. This is why I stood down on my vote. What a shame. 15 plus years as COMMISSIONER and 11 years as a COUNCILMEMBER. She might be taking a GLP to lose some weight, but her inflammation in taxes is unacceptable. I commend Vice Chair Harris in her vote..NO! Thanks, Alan

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

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 🧵

Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

There are 345 ANC districts. While their power is limited they do play an important role in transportation improvements, housing/zoning, and alcohol and cannabis licenses. This thread lists the most impactful competitive ANC races in the November elections. #ANCRacesToWatch

I am advocating for more housing, traffic safety, and bike infrastructure. Specifically, to ensure the delivery of the Taylor Street Bike lanes! This important community improvement will provide safe passage for families along Taylor Street across the railroad tracks and up the hill westbound.
