Susan Collins funds the Leonard Leo-backed disinformation outlet this guy works for and gives him interviews all the time.

That's who she is and what she's about. #MEpolitics

Longtime Susan Collins crony and former Collins campaign staffer concedes his old boss is in hot water over the surge in heating oil price brought on by the Iran war she's supported and enabled.

(But he suggests voters are being "emotional" about the issue.) #MEpolitics

“It’s a huge issue up here,” Lance Dutson, a Republican strategist in Maine, said Tuesday night as temperatures in parts of the state dipped into the 40s. Ms. Collins can point to her work to bring federal heating assistance funds to the state, he added, but that might go only so far in assuaging an “emotional electorate” facing deep financial strain because of the price increases.

Sen Collins wants us to believe that she was duped? mislead? by Kavanaugh and that she couldn’t possibly have known how he would vote in an abortion case.

 Well we knew and we told her over and over and over again, sometimes we even got published in the PPH.

Back in 2018 I wrote this letter to Senator Collins (and no, she never answered)

Apparently, her belief that she’s basically powerless against the abuse of this administration, even though she is now chairman of appropriations committee is a long-standing belief.
#MePolitics

Text that says to Senator Collins do you honestly think that 10 years from now people will look back and agree with you that all we can do is make very clear that we disagree with the approach. The president has taken. There are many things she was a Senator can do to protect our country or security our values that you and your colleagues refuse to do so I really wonder why

Before the Kavanaugh confirmation Collins told a bunch of Maine women that every single document, memo, etc. that Kavanaugh wrote while in OLC should be made available for scrutiny and would be.

They weren’t.

It's eight years ago now so it can be hard to remember, but the sordid role Susan Collins played during the Kavanaugh nomination -- functioning as a sort of PR ambassador for the GOP and a stealth character assassin of Dr. Ford -- was despicable and disqualifying all by itself. #MEpolitics

#MEpolitics: Susan Collins is not only politically corrupt, but she’s morally corrupt, choosing to fabricate a nonsensical explanation for dismissing Christine Blasey Ford’s sworn testimony that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Ford so as to justify confirming Kavanaugh to SCOTUS.

Vote. Her. Out.

@collinswatch.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 12:15 PM

Again @randybillings.bsky.social with the lazy/sloppy recap:

Other than hand-waving, straw man nonsense and falsely suggesting that Navatek's work product wasn't useless (later debunked), what *specific* claims made by @propublica.org has Susan Collins or her camp actually denied? Any? #MEpolitics

Press Herald article: Collins and her campaign have repeatedly denied the allegations outlined in the ProPublica article, calling them “outrageous.”
@collinswatch.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 12:08 PM

Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford:

"[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics

Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."

I don't think national endorsements really move the needle much in Maine, but it is still good to see the support.

“ICE repeatedly pursued immigrants like Pedro, who came to the United States legally on a visa, applied for asylum and got a work permit. The Bangor Daily News identified about a dozen such cases in federal court records….”

Surprised to see @pressherald.com pick up this story.

But maybe they felt they had to after Susan Collins spox said: "Sen. Collins was not involved in this decision."

What?! It was in the appropriations bill! And she chairs the committee! That means she's was "involved"! #MEpolitics

Press Herald headline: Susan Collins’s committee bought trucks the Army didn’t want. Then campaign donations poured in.
Appropriations committee members saw an influx of campaign contributions after steering $345 million to a military contractor.
