There are a thousand reasons Susan Collins doesn't deserve a sixth term in the Senate. But this, alone, is enough to disqualify her from ever holding public office again.
The Epstein crisis is escalating.
Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas.
