@collinswatch.bsky.socialLongtime 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
@scrimmins.bsky.socialSen 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.

@scrimmins.bsky.socialBack 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.

@scrimmins.bsky.socialBefore 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.

@collinswatch.bsky.socialIt'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
@joshuafaile.bsky.social#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.socialAgain @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
@collinswatch.bsky.socialAttorneys 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
@collinswatch.bsky.socialThere it is. #MEpolitics
@tuckerinmaine.bsky.socialI don't think national endorsements really move the needle much in Maine, but it is still good to see the support.
@charleshedrick.bsky.social“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….”
@collinswatch.bsky.socialSurprised 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
@dirigoblue.bsky.socialIt would have really helped if Collins was able to get soft wood lumber and plywood off the tariff list And rebar - a lot of rebar comes from Canada #MeSen #MePolitics
