Collins Watch

Surprised to see this and credit to Angus... ...but it only makes his silence (so far?) about you know what that much more outrageous. #MEpolitics

Susan Collins voted to confirm this wacko even though he had no relevant qualifications and a ton of red flags. #MEpolitics

Great to see this teamwork approach from Pingree and Jackson. "Every Pingree voter should be a Jackson voter and every Jackson voter should be a Pingree voter" is something some folks you know may need to hear! #MEpolitics

Easy to lose the forest from the trees when it comes to Susan Collins, tariffs and Trump. But big picture: Trump launched a trade war for no good reason; Maine is suffering bigly because of it; and Collins has responded to his campaign of destruction by voting with him 95% of the time. #MEpolitics

Send me money because "losing my seat could cost us [the Republican party] the Senate majority." #MEpolitics

Pretty good. #MEpolitics

From @midcoastvillager.bsky.social's coverage of @theaudacitymaine.bsky.social's protest outside a Rockland resort yesterday where Susan Collins was holding a fundraiser. tinyurl.com/r2c8yysc #MEpolitics

Shame on @benkail.bsky.social for playing along w/ this nonsense. Voting to advance a bill so you can make changes ISN'T A THING. Anyone can propose changes. It's also Susan Collins SECOND excuse. First she said she defers to the Majority Leader on procedural votes -- an obvious lie. #MEpolitics

Susan Collins has had essentially unlimited $$ support from her billionaire donors...so attending a fundraiser NINE DAYS before Election Day -- instead of being out knocking doors etc etc -- sort of gives the game way: It's a money-for-access trade. And we all know why they want access. #MEpolitics

#MEpolitics

Still thinking about this which was about as close to an "emperor has no clothes" moment as you'll get in an American political debate. #MEpolitics

While midterm voting in Maine has been trending up since 2000...more than 1 in 3 eligible voters probably won't cast a ballot in 2026! Which means just about everyone knows someone who isn't planning to vote. Those folks could easily tip the balance! Now's the time to nudge/cajole/etc! #MEpolitics

At the big press conference after the Lewiston shootings, Susan Collins said banning high-capacity magazines was more important than banning assault guns...and then lied when a reporter pressed her [1:42] over the fact that she'd voted against banning those too. tinyurl.com/5wahvtkx #MEpolitics

Stephen King says Susan Collins only "voice[s] concern"; implores Mainers to "pull the emergency break" on Trump and vote for Troy Jackson. #MEpolitics

Nine days ago. #MEpolitics

When more than $20 million of defense contractor Navatek’s priorities made its way into the defense budget, CEO Martin Kao seemed to thank Susan Collins for making it happen. And it appeared he was keen to return the favor. Listen to this excerpt ⤵️

"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

Not convinced the tariff thing is even expected to move the needle as much as it's a gambit to channel the public conversaton away from Susan Collins's corruption, her betrayal on abortion rights, her RFK Jr vote, her terrible debate answer about successfully opposing Trump (never) etc. #MEpolitics

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

And how about the products whose tariffs are going UP in the same announcement @pressherald.com??? #MEpolitics

Ha! It takes a foreign reporter (of course!) to find out and report that the tariff reductions are being matched by tariff increases! The whole thing is a desperate Donald Trump/Susan Collins-coordinated stunt to try to distract Maine voters from Collins's many betrayals. #MEpolitics

#MEpolitics

Reminder that Susan Collins was literally standing behind Trump during this incident. To our knowledge she's never said a peep about it. (And naturally no one with access has asked!) #MEpolitics

Susan Collins is on the side of owners and Troy Jackson is on the side of workers -- example one zillion. This company builds yachts and superyachts. So yeah, he's a Susan Collins fan. #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

Maine letter to the editor comparing Susan Collins -- not all that favorably -- to Ken Paxton. #MEpolitics

A trillion is a million million. #MEpolitics

If there's a Mainer in your life on the fence about ME-SEN (or ME-GOV or CD-2) or who disagrees with you on #MEpolitics but there's even a tiny chance might be persuadable...now is the time to reach out. This is coin toss race! Every vote will counts.! No Wednesday morning November 4 regrets!

Unlike Susan Collins's events yesterday with a widely-disliked lobbyist/has-been, Troy Jackson is campaigning today with a popular political figure of national stature. So all the press coverage will be as positive as it was yesterday for Collins, right? Haha there's no chance of it! #MEpolitics

An important point. Susan Collins had a moment (2025-6) where at least in theory she's had the ability to exercise significant power She's squandered that moment and it's just about over. tinyurl.com/4as38aes #MEpolitics

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

If you ignore the voice and just listen to the words this could be Ted Cruz or Tommy Tuberville or Jesse Helms talking. #MEpolitics

30 years! #MEpolitics
