@kenbazinet.bsky.social"She could use her leverage to stop the war, but instead they are making money. Sen. Collins and her husband are making money more off this, and so are a lot of other people," Troy Jackson said at their 2nd debate, WGME reported.
"That's why this doesn't stop."
@kenbazinet.bsky.social“The issue that’s going to affect most Mainers is how they’re going to afford to get by this winter,” Debbe Kelley, 70, an engineer in Windham, Maine, told The Times.
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialSusan Collins is very concerned.
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialSusan Collins has done a lot for Trump, so when she asks him for a presidential pardon, we expect he will abide and give her a get out of jail free card.
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialTrump administration has messed with at least $50 million in federal funds meant for the University of Maine system, withholding money, cutting grants and delaying funds for the Maine schools.
And yes, Susan Collins voted to confirm Linda McMahon as Trump's education secretary.
@kenbazinet.bsky.social"Maine’s Susan Collins likes to portray herself as something better: an independent-minded Republican who puts Maine first and hauls home boatloads of federal cash," writes Steve Collins.
"But sometimes, despite her best efforts, the truth shines through."
@kenbazinet.bsky.social"That doesn't help rebuild the good relationship that we once had and that I want us to have again," Maine Republican Susan Collins told CBC News.
(Sen. Collins acts like the trade wars aren't a wholly GOP operation launched by Trump. Mainers with Canadian roots know better.)
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialByrne is affiliated with anti-abortion groups, including Ohio Right to Life, Cincinnati Right to Life, Warren County Right to Life, Center for Christian Virtue, and Federalist Society, and he's said he opposes abortion for any reason other than to protect the life of the mother.
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialSusan Collins has been around for a while but Maine voters see Troy Jackson as a working-class alternative, said Bob Masciarelli, 70.
“He’s a union guy, he’s the candidate [Democrats] need,” Masciarelli told the Bangor Daily News. “We need to do something to change direction.”
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialMaine Senator Susan Collins voted to confirm White House Project 2025 ringleader Russell Vought as Trump's budget director back in February 2025.
Vought is still pushing his diabolical agenda thanks to Trump's rubber stamp Senate Republicans, like Susan Collins.
@kenbazinet.bsky.social"I didn't support many of the cuts he proposed. I did support others where I felt he did ferret out waste, fraud and abuse," Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said, Maine Public reported.
(Collins likely 'very concerned' but welcomes the Musk/tech bro/AI cash)
@kenbazinet.bsky.social"Collins claimed she “wasn’t aware” of the specific spending by Musk, but added that she knew he would use his fortune to back Republican candidates in the midterms," writes Oliver Willis.
@kenbazinet.bsky.socialWe're all very concerned about the health of Susan Collins, and wish her well, but the only cure for Trump Appeaser Syndrome is to lose an election.
Troy Jackson is the Mainer who will help get Collins rest and healthcare she needs, as his Q&A with @timdickinson.bsky.social shows.
