Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations."

Trump pocketed $2.2 BILLION in 2025 while American families lost $219 BILLION to rising costs, according to a stunning new report.
The numbers tell the story.
Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime.
This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.
Never forget the liars who told you and told you that Democratic Socialism would never work. The people that brought you Trump’s pedocracy did everything they could to stop Mamdani.
"Susan Collins is a multi-millionaire who owns three houses [at least]" is not a sentence you will see in any Maine or DC-based legacy media publication and it's worth taking a moment to think about why that is. #MEpolitics
NEW: Graham Platner on his interaction with NY Times reporters about "working class" & how elite media tries to derail class solidarity:
"It's everybody who isn't making their money on an immense amount of wealth...all of us don't own anything & a couple people own damn near everything...Fuck off."
Trump on Iran War:
Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?
Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation
Biggest difference btwn Platner's message & previous Susan Collins challengers is his willingness to call her a liar & fraud.
As we've been arguing for decades (!) doing this is smart because:
a) it's true and validates folks' suspicions
b) not being candid about it feels inauthentic

@washingtonpost.com You know damn well that if this was Joe Biden this would have been on your front page. You’re cowards and trump’s enablers. It’s embarrassing how low you’ve sunk.
Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video.
“It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?”
This lady’s response is🔥
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Alright then. 1st: it grows more apparent, by the day, that these ppl fear women. Forcing women to stay home, & have babies, in this economy? After disassembling social welfare? A 1 income family? HA! Men are already selling sperms to get cash for food & fuel.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Drawing a sharp contrast between himself and a senator some on the left have (disparagingly) suggested he resembles, Graham Platner goes after John Fetterman (D-PA) in a post criticizing the US attack on Iran. #MEpolitics
Proud of Mainers!
Maine in the top 10 most rallies, actions and events of 2025.
Substack columnist K. Starling, in collaboration with Harvard's Ash Center Crowd Counting Consortium documented progressive actions beginning in April last year. Maine scored in the top 10 with 1798 confirmed events.
Sign the petition at bellowsformaine.com. Spies have no place in our democracy. Kristi Noem needs to resign immediately and Gabbard and Bondi need to stay out of our elections.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
