Steve Collins with the most important Maine political column of the year. Big credit to him for covering a dark story the rest of the Maine press is studiously ignoring. Couldn't have been easy for him -- he was boosting Susan Collins as recently as last year. #MEpolitics

Steve Collins@stevecollinsyji.bsky.social

One of the saddest developments of this year’s U.S. Senate campaign in Maine has been watching Susan Collins, a senator once renowned for civility and decency, embrace the Maine Wire’s sickening racism and vulgar politics. www.pressherald.com/2026/10/26/s...

Can’t afford heating oil? Thank Susan Collins.

Maine Newsroom@mainenewsroom.com

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

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

It gets worse and worse. One page of items newly exempted from tariffs and THREE pages of items with new tariffs slapped on them! What a joke! If you see outlets falling for Susan Collins's stunt -- highlighting the former but ignoring the latter -- please let us know! #MEpolitics

Cell phones. One winter night when my sister and I were driving home on a rural road, we slid on an icy hill and had to steer into a shoulder ditch to avoid going off the other side into a ravine. We sat in the dark for a long time before a stranger came along to help and give us a ride home. Scary

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

“LePage was no friend to the citizens of the Second Congressional District when he was governor.” A letter from Bangor lays out Paul LePage’s record as governor, blocking Medicaid expansion and cutting funding for Meals on Wheels and other services seniors rely on.

The GOP is not making us healthy again. They are putting lives at risk by allowing industrial facilities to spew cancer-causing gases, especially now that the Trump administration has waived critical health-protecting clean-air rules. It is a corporate handout and a death warrant for the public.

"Collins has snowed a lot of people; if you read the typical fare from the political media, you’ll mostly see her characterized as a pro-choice Republican who, somehow or another, keeps casting pivotal votes that further the ends of the anti-abortion movement." #MEpolitics

There's a reason Press Herald and even Susan Collins's normally deferential hometown paper ran this story a month ago today: It's credible, damning and includes e-mails to support it's bombshell claims. Challenge anyone to read it and not come away thinking Collins is corrupt as hell. #MEpolitics

The GOP brainwashing continues. Counter it by voting blue. Vote early if you can!

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. Follow @mainenewsroom.com. #MEpolitics

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

Voting in Portland Maine couldn't be faster or easier AND you still get a sticker! Walk into City Hall, get your ballot, fill it out and put it in the ballot box. Took 2 minutes.

We knew that New Balance -- where Susan Collins took Manchin yesterday -- is run by a Collins donor but didn't realize/recall that Simones' Hot Dog Stand was owned by a Collins staffer's relative. There's something sad about a "campaign" that only visits folks who are already on board. #MEpolitics

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t believe the President of the United States of America should behave this way.

Who is the bigger liar, Vance or Trump? 🤔

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

Yes.

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

Vote her out Maine. Elon Musk and dark money are backing Susan Collins. Don't let them make decisions for us. Collins is beholden to billionaires and trillionaires like Trump and Musk, instead of the people of Maine.

The Republicans’ betrayal of Ukraine will leave a permanent stain on American history. It’s not just Trump — it’s the entire Republican Party bowing down to Putin. They could stop this if they wanted to.

True Blue Sea reposted

It’s exhausting to wake up every morning and see what new hell Trump has triggered while his GOP enablers applaud or stand idly by. Please vote so we can start the necessary accountability agenda.

How do you reach voters who are concerned about prices but say what really drives their vote is 'Christian values'—so they are voting for Ken Paxton? (!) Paxton is a womanizer who cheated on his wife, parties with fraudulent fugitives from U.S. justice, and faces multiple felony indictments.

Their real motivation is likely a culture war where their hatred of others—not Christian values or the economy—motivates them. Our only hope is to overwhelm their vote by turning out in greater numbers.

Trump is a traitor to American interests, and to our friends and allies.

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
