Maybe the fundamental question of the ME-SEN election is if Mainers remain comfortable being repped by someone who routinely laments the consequences of her own actions. Of course key to that is how widely it's understood that what Susan Collins says and does are two different things. #MEpolitics
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: The shock gloves that ICE is reportedly rolling out using the deescalation funding. Is that the sort of use you envisioned when you passed that bill? SUSAN COLLINS: It's not

A majority of Mainers say Susan Collins votes with Donald Trump too often. That’s because when the stakes are highest, she keeps helping him deliver an agenda that makes life harder for working people. Maine deserves a senator who will fight for us instead.
Great day out in the district 🫐☀️ Started at the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival, celebrating its 50th anniversary. Then toured a local blueberry farm and talked to the owner about the challenges facing Maine farmers. Ended the day at the Skowhegan State Fair. Grateful for every conversation.

Matt Dunlap is running for Maine’s 2nd congressional district because we deserve a representative who will put Mainers above politics – and who won’t cave to Trump.

Amy Fried@asfried.bsky.social · 19h agoWhen Matt Dunlap, now the Dem candidate for ME-2, was Maine Secretary of State, he would personally visit prisons to register people to vote.
4 years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act helped Mainers save on energy costs and prescription drugs. Since then, Republicans have gutted key parts of it. I'll fight to bring those savings back for Maine families.
"In one breath, Sen. [Susan] Collins brags about her immense power to bring earmarks and pork home. In the next, everything is out of her hands. At [what] point do we stop buying these insults to our intelligence?" #MEpolitics
Susan Collins sent $70,000,000,000 to a lawless Trump paramilitary after it had spent a year terrorizing Maine and other states. She doesn't get to feign surprise when they use that blank check to buy torture devices. #MEpolitics
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.gov · 17h agoWhy would ICE spend $20 million on powerful electric-shock gloves that are normally used on violent prisoners? Because THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT. How long until these are used on a pregnant mother? Or someone with heart problems? Or a child? This is an absolute outrage—and it needs to be STOPPED.

The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?
O'KEEFE: You have been writing letters & trying to get updates on the status of McConnell. Have you heard anything? BESHEAR: I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell... all he needs to do is do a video for 2 minutes to the people he's supposed to serve, but he absolutely refuses to

Everyone who paid attention and who knows about the role immigrants play at all levels of the economy knew this would be true. Immigration bolsters employment for Americans. Trump is trying to destroy the country through and through.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump said deportations would lead to more jobs for American citizens. But according to new research, his cruel immigration raids actually COST jobs, including those held by American citizens. This was never about “protecting American workers.” It was always about racism and cruelty.

NEW from Katie Phang: The DOJ still has not begun translating and reviewing foreign-language documents in the Epstein Files, despite a federal judge ordering Blanche to “immediately” start. As Judge Sullivan put it: “The public and the victims have the right to know what the hell is going on.”

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 4d agoPeople come to New York City from all over the world to experience Broadway. The kids who grow up here should be able to do the same. We’re partnering with TDF to give away over 2,000 free Broadway tickets to NYC High School students at on.nyc.gov/broadway. Break a leg, high schoolers!
January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.
ICE agents give contradictory orders on purpose. “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car!” It’s a no win situation. The person being violently accosted in this video is a disabled veteran. Imagine if the agents had been wearing shock gloves? Abolish & prosecute ICE
The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”
George Washington rejected the idea of a massive presidential palace. The White House was deliberately scaled back because the president of the United States should not live like a king. 234 years later, Trump is posting Versailles fan fiction starring himself.
