8 years ago today, 13 women elected officials traveled to DC to meet with ME’s senators about Kavanaugh’s nomination . Sen King met with us & graciously allowed us to wait in his conference room for a meeting with Sen Collins who it turned out wouldn’t give us even 5 minutes of her time. #Women4Troy
“Jackson is much more than a working-class hero from The County. He is kind and funny. He cares about people and works for us every day. He’s one of the most savvy, tenacious and accomplished legislators we’ve known, and he would serve us well in the U.S. Senate.” #Women4Troy #mepolitics
Jon Stewart for the win - “I can’t figure out if Susan Collins is Lucy or Charlie Brown” (pulling the football up on Charlie Brown)

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...
“Of all the politicians Navatek courted under Kao’s leadership, Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered government contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping Kao and his network for donations” #mepolitics
Once again Collins plays along like T$ump is dealing with a full deck and ignores his incessant flip flops and deranged threats. Too many years in politics for her to claim naivety. Willful ignorance for political gain is more like it. #mepolitics

Anyone who has spent time with Ukrainians knows their resilience and resourcefulness. Surviving wars, famine, and Russification is the foundation of their independence and determination. They welcomed us as the 1st Peace Corps into the former Soviet Union. On it’s Independence Day - Слава Україна 🇺🇦
Republican Governor. Republican Senate 40:10. Republican House 70:30. Republican President. How great are we feeling?
20k DHHS employees cut- ending FDA food safety programs, like quality-control for milk & vegetables like spinach. The USDA also cut 2 food safety advisory committees and withdrew a rule to reduce the risk of Salmonella contamination in poultry. #MakeAmericaSicker
“That Herrera has flown somewhat under the radar is a testament to a fundamental asymmetry between the parties, as well as in our discourse about them. Thanks to Trump, misogyny and extremism among Republicans has become … something so ordinary and predictable..”
3rd Way=“Trojan Horse for corporate America”
DOGE hacked CISA staffing and the republican 2027 budget cuts another 900 positions. Collins - crickets on demolition of CISA. Wait for the performative concern. #RetireCollins #MEpolitics
As a State Senator, I couldn’t fathom Collins not making time to meet with us, 17 elected officials from her state, let alone coming out to say hello. She is so afraid of facing people who might see the world differently. That in of itself disqualifies her from the office of US Senator. #MEpolitics
Good lord. How much you wanna bet Collins votes for him. Constitution be damned. #mepolitics
It’s wild that basic constitutional knowledge isn’t required to be a federal judge. Judicial nominee John Marck couldn't even say if a president can serve a 3rd term under the 22nd Amendment—saying he'd need to "review" it. The Constitution is clear: the answer is NO.

The FCC is demanding certain ABC stations file license renewals earlier than they're otherwise scheduled to in apparent retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about the Trump administration. Help us flood the FCC with comments objecting to this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

"The other commissioner who approved the Paramount merger, FCC Chair Brendan Carr, and his wife sat in a private skybox with Paramount CEO David Ellison and other executives from Paramount and CBS. Such seats sold for $125,000 a ticket..." www.propublica.org/article/para...

She apparently finds it an easy call to place an official who refuses to accept the obvious reality of Trump’s 2020 defeat in a position that he could use to help undermine American elections. Republicans are still treating threats to the republic as a sideshow. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Fall ‘22, network news refused to air Biden speech about threats to American democracy calling it too political. Remind networks to not air Trump’s politically motivated, lie filled diatribe against our election system to justify attacks on midterms. Info ⬇️ @pinetreeactivism.org @indivisible.org
