Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

Just this year, China banned the import of Argentinian beef because it contained a dangerous antibiotic banned in beef intended for human consumption since 1995. Trump is still importing Argentinian beef to make beef prices go down. He doesn’t care about *your* health, only *his* poll numbers.
