There used to be a time, not long ago, when it was unthinkable for a president to be ordering the Justice Dept. Now the NYT is headlining this like it's normal. @nytpitchbot.bsky.socialwww.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Maybe @benkail.bsky.social@bangordailynews.bsky.social will ⬇️ front page above the fold facts: Susan Collins' $$ from heating oil fossil fuel execs made extra rich thanks to Collins votes for Iran war. #Mepolitics
10/26 The home heating oil industry has given Senator Susan Collins’s re-election efforts almost $242k this cycle. The cost for a gallon of heating oil in Maine hit a record $6.04 last week. #maine#MEpolitics
More pro-Collins helping GOP from Bangor Daily News Benjamin Kail including Collins' communication director, from New Jersey. #Mepoliticswww.bangordailynews.com/2026/10/26/p...
Sure seems that "everyone" wants to help #pollinators". Meanwhile, pollinators are destroyed when #leaves are mowed, mulched, burned, etc. (do NOT save horrid invasive Norway Maple leaves) homegrownnationalpark.org/leave-the-le...
Again @lisad.bsky.social@pbsnews.org complicit on-going #bothsidesism support GOP authoritarianism. Sickening, pathetic, and unethical. Not a mention of the fact that ALL Senators/Reps bring $$ to their State and provide constituent services and more. #Mepoliticswww.youtube.com/watch?v=nUJy...

Three years ago, 18 of our neighbors were murdered in Lewiston.
I had grown up with guns and at the time, I opposed some gun laws. That day, I learned those 18 people deserve more than our grief.
IMPORTANT DETAILS about the private equity firm for whom Joe Manchin – campaigning with Susan Collins today – is an advisor, and that Susan Collins has received more private equity moolah than any other candidate. More than $700,000 just this cycle.

The war in Iran has cost American lives, billions in taxpayer dollars, and driven up the cost of living.
Tapping the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve may stabilize heating bills, but it does not erase the wider impacts of the administration's decisions.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social
It all comes down to Maine. It comes down to us.
We know what’s at stake. We know that a vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Donald Trump.
Let’s win this thing and take back the Senate.
“The consequences of this war are that you are paying nearly $5 [per gallon] in gas. You’re paying more in groceries because of the price of diesel.
He has cheered this war all along because he stands hip-to-hip with Donald Trump.”
"The Trump regime is also *adding* tariffs on other Canadian goods.
So this is equivalent to Collins offering water to put out the fire in your kitchen, whilst starting another in your garage." #Mepolitics
#MEpolitics: In this case, it’s even worse than the arsonist offering a cup of water to put out the fire.
The Trump regime is also *adding* tariffs on other Canadian goods.
So this is equivalent to Collins offering water to put out the fire in your kitchen, whilst starting another in your garage.
They're scared to have real people from the working class in Washington because they know we'll challenge the status quo at every turn. The government we have now doesn't work for everyday people. It works fine for the wealthy. They're scared of losing that.
Apparently the number one issue for Republicans is immigration. They love ICE & that Trump getting rid of anyone who isn’t white. There is a lot to be said for backing off and stop criticizing ice. FYI: @troyjackson207.bsky.social
He doesn’t even sound like he’s convincing to himself, it’s almost like he knows that his career is dependent on saying the repulsive things people in power want to hear.
What will @senangusking.bsky.social do say write about this👇?? Will Angus DO ANYTHING to help end Susan Collins and her GOP authoritarian regime? Will Angus finally help Maine? #Mepolitics#Maine
10/23 BREAKING NEWS: The Wall Street Journal is reporting "The U.S. is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Sen. Susan Collins of #Maine and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, according to people familiar with the upcoming action." #MEpolitics
Trump: "Why wouldn't you listen to a mother that says that?"
Monica Alba: "She stayed with a stepfather who was charged with raping his stepdaughter in 1978, sir."
Trump: "You just keep talking."
Alba: "I am answering you, sir."
Trump: "I don't know anything about stepfathers."
Susan Collins is a vile person.
Her spox her says the attack by dumbass John Thune crosses the line, but Susan Collins HERSELF made the gross attack in multiple interviews (Politico, Howie Carr) as noted here.
#mesen#mepoliticswww.pressherald.com/2026/10/20/r...
These episodes all work to affirm Trump supporters questioned. Amazing time money these so-called “reporters” help spread make Trump supporters important. “everything” Trump says he’s right about = and define what “everything” is? Pathetic reporting
Another week, another Susan Collins pay-for-play scandal.
Susan Collins owes Maine taxpayers an apology. But more than that, we deserve a change November 3rd.
How very kind. The DOE is going to "loan" (sic) Maine, Mass and CT some heating oil to lower prices due to the "emergency" *cough #tRumpsteinFuryWar cough* we're facing this winter. Just great. Bandaids for cancer. (psst: What about NH, VT & RI?)
