What $190 million ? that did not happen #mepolitics
@collinswatch.bsky.socialUnderscores how wildly irresponsible it was for @randybillings.bsky.social/@pressherald.com to run a piece yesterday indulging Susan Collins's desperation-fueled pretense that this photo was exculpatory when that makes no sense.
Being a 'BS detector' for readers is the core of the job! #MEpolitics
@collinswatch.bsky.social@propublica.org's Molly Redden makes the same observation we made yesterday:
The photo Susan Collins put out yesterday of her meeting Martin Kao in 2018 is fully consistent w/ ProPublica's article.
It doesn't refute the report. If anything it's more corroboration. tinyurl.com/mwx5s6n2 #MEpolitics
@dirigoblue.bsky.social@collinswatch.bsky.socialWhy are all of the columns supporting Susan Collins written by former staffers of professional Republicans? (We have a few ideas.)
This guy advised her on the Kavanaugh confirmation. #MEpolitics
@scrimmins.bsky.socialWell done Senator Collins. See what no oversight gets us?

@asfried.bsky.socialElon Musk wants more tax cuts from Susan Collins.

@collinswatch.bsky.socialThis is a good example of Susan Collins preference for playing the role of pundit rather than answering questions like an accountable public official -- and of Maine media's inexcusable willingness to indulge this preference.
At least in a debate it lands as evasive. (And haughty?) #MEpolitics
@mainenewsroom.com10/7 Senator Susan Collins won’t say whether she would stand with President Trump if he campaigns in #Maine. She refused to answer Gregg Lagerquist's question during Tuesday night's Senate debate on WGME, instead saying she didn't think Trump would come to Maine. #MEpolitics
@asfried.bsky.socialYou’d think the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee would be holding oversight hearings, but no. She has her own contractor conflicts she’d prefer not get investigated. #mepolitics
@nuthatchme.bsky.socialI read somewhere recently that Collins used to vote the party line about 50% of the time. Currently it is 96%. I cannot find it again. Does anyone have a source? #MEpolitics

@joshuafaile.bsky.social#MEpolitics: It’s truly astonishing the glazing Susan Collins often receives from the @bangordailynews.bsky.social and the @pressherald.com.
For every piece of reporting critical of her, there are 2-3 articles subtly—our flagrantly—attempting to minimise her corruption and fascist collaboration.
@collinswatch.bsky.socialAh, you've got to love Susan Collins's hometown fanzine Bangor Daily News.
This is an interesting way to spin it! #MEpolitics
