A hollowed out middle class is destroying our democracy.

A little time with my baby granddaughter in the green room last night—a reminder of who I’m fighting for and best debate prep I’ve ever had. ❤️
Susan Collins sent these lawless secret police goons and the rogue Trump paramilitary they work for $70,000,000,000 in JUNE -- after they'd killed two Americans with impunity. She says her vote was for body cameras but that's an obscene lie. Cameras were 0.03% of the $70B appropriation. #MEpolitics

Longtime Susan Collins fan and Press Herald columnist @stevecollinsyji.bsky.social comes to the conclusion that she hasn't met the moment and isn't up to the job. #MEpolitics
She is powerful but only for those who pay to play.
Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social · 2d agoThis campaign is about how the people of Maine know that our government is fundamentally flawed—and Senator Collins won't do anything about it. After 30 years, she keeps telling us how powerful she is. What good is that power if she won't use it to stand up and fight for us?
With another debate coming up, since Susan Collins tried to distort her record of voting with Trump last time, here's a @votehub.com chart (tinyurl.com/34ktb2a4) depicting all 223 votes where Trump had a clear stance in 2025. Collins is the red dot at left. With Trump 95% of the time. #MEpolitics
For every $75 cut from patient care in the Big Beautiful Bill, the much-vaunted Rural Health Transformation Program gives back just $1. This and other fact checks on Collins’ claims about RHTP #mepolitics www.mecep-action.org/fact-check-c...
Fact Check: Senator Collins’ rural health fund falls billions short of what the One Big Beautiful Bill takes away
LePage blocked policies approved by voters, cut services for families, shifted costs onto towns and households, and left federal funding unclaimed or unspent.

Did you catch this at the debate? Paul LePage said he wants America to "go in and finish it" in Iran. Finish what, exactly? I'll say it plainly: I will never support boots on the ground in Iran.
Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics
Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"
The rural health transformation fund is quintessential Susan Collins. She wants credit for an inadequate fix to a problem she helped to create. And then that inadequate fix becomes even worse because of the Trump officials she voted for #mepolitics
Facts matter!
Collins Watch@collinswatch.bsky.social · 5d agoFormer Watergate prosecutor and US attorney notes that while Susan Collins has done a lot of hand-waiving in response to the corruption revelations in @propublica.org's bombshell report...she hasn't actually grappled with or refuted the substance of what's presented in the article. #MEpolitics
Eight years ago today, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade. She still says she doesn’t regret her vote. Give her something to regret on November 3. Vote her out.
Amy Fried@asfried.bsky.social · 5d agoSusan Collins has been saying for years that she's detailed oriented and good at getting money. So it turns out that she did that for government contractors who illegally donated to her and then she got them contracts the military didn't want. #mepolitics theintercept.com/2026/10/05/s...
Collins claims Maine women’s rights are secure after Dobbs. Theyre not. #mepolitics amyfried.substack.com/p/collins-ma...
Contrary to Collins, Maine’s laws aren’t enough to protect women

If Collins wins this year, she will continue to help MAGA reshape the federal courts. #mepolitics
Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social · 2w agoSusan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.
And now Yougov has Susan Collins -5%. Bottom line: This is a close race that will be decided on the ground. Throw all the polls in the polling average and go about your business. (Especially if your business is making calls or knocking doors or texting relatives etc etc.) #MEpolitics
