Andy Borowtiz at The New Yorker strikes again: Calling the Supreme Court nominee’s testimony “worrisome,” Senator Susan Collins said that she is concerned that Amy Coney Barrett is too indecisive to sit on the nation’s highest court. “When she was asked a question, she often appeared hesitant, evasive, and wishy-washy,”...

At some point early next year they’ll squeegee the COVID-riddled puddle of Trump tresses and asshole adipose out of the people’s house, but until then, the toxic diaper barge that is his campaign and presidency will continue to swamp the hopes of Republicans up and down the ballot. At this...
A newly released poll by RMG Research finds that Republican Senator Susan Collins is losing 48% to 41% to Democratic challenger Sara Gideon in the state of Maine. US Term Limits Survey Joe Biden is leading in the Pine Tree state by 50% to 39% over Trump. Further, Trump’s approval is...
Received this e-mail yesterday from former National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, in support of Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign: Sara Gideon (D. ME) I served as National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations under President Barack Obama. In both roles,...
Here’s some big news today out of Maine: x Despite Susan Collinsâ record on certain key LGBTQ issues, her support of McConnell & TrumpâÂÂs agenda, vote for KavanaughâÂÂs SCOTUS appointment, & failure to hold Trump accountable is simply untenable.@HRC is proud to endorse @SaraGideon for U.S. Senate. https://t.co/FjjNsKRePYâ” Alphonso David...
First off, she needs to be called out for her bull shit: Embattled Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement Monday that she agreed with the Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s draconian abortion law, adding that while conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the minority, his opinion “gave...
From The Washington Post: x Judge Kavanaugh voted against banning companies from firing employees for being gay or transgender. It's clear that Senator Collins will continue to be a reliable vote for TrumpâÂÂs anti-LGBTQ+ nominees. Help us replace her in November: https://t.co/EH8PTmgUbEâ” Sara Gideon (@SaraGideon) June 15, 2020 Sen. Susan...
Some big news today: Alongside discussions of her own national political ambitions, former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams is wading into elections outside her home state, endorsing the campaigns of seven Democrats vying for U.S. Senate seats. On Thursday, Abrams announced that she was backing Democratic candidates in Arizona, Colorado,...
Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA), in support of Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign: Sara Gideon (D. ME) I’m about to ask you to contribute to Sara Gideon’s campaign to defeat Susan Collins. But first, let me explain why this...
Eleanor Clift at The Daily Beast has a great piece about how U.S. Senator Susan Collins’ (R. ME) likes to brag about how she co-authored the Paycheck Protection Program but she doesn’t mention that her top contributors had a lot of influence in her drafting the bill: Collins acknowledged in...
Kudos to The Daily Beast for calling this out: Republican Senator Susan Collins got a boost in the polls when she took credit for helping write the Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses. But now she’s back in the doldrums, her job approval at 37 percent, as she faces increasingly steep...
The New Republic has a new piece out about how the media is responsible for creating the myth that U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R. ME) is a “moderate”: To portray politics as “political theater,” reporters need players. And for more than a decade, Collins has been cast as a dutiful moderate,...
Really, Susan Collins? Really? In a story on Susan Collins’ tough reelection campaign, The Los Angeles Times grabbed one of the most obtuse quotes I’ve ever seen from a politician. This is like J.C. Penney wondering why there’s been such a precipitous drop in sales of Cosby sweaters. “Wherever we have...
I’m actually happy that he’s back: x Susan Collins says sheâÂÂll acquit because âÂÂhe learned his lesson.â The only lesson Trump learned is that Susan Collins & the GOP will let him get away with anything. #ImpeachmentTrialâ Al Franken (@alfranken) February 5, 2020 While I do miss Franken in the...
Received this e-mail today from the Council for a Livable World: The Senate just voted to acquit President Trump, abdicating their Constitutional responsibilities and ignoring his many transgressions that continue to jeopardize U.S. national security. A Senate that cannot manage a fair impeachment trial, and that has also failed to...
Received this e-mail today from Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign in support of U.S. Senator Doug Jones’ (D. AL) re-election campaign: Sara Gideon (D. ME) This might seem like an odd request coming from me (I have my own campaign to run!) but today, I’m asking you...
There’s much to hate about Lindsey Graham and the submissive puppet to Donald Trump that he has become since McCain’s death. Yet at the very least, he is honest about the kind of person he’s become. He no longer pretends to be a moderate or a “principled” conservative. Susan Collins is...
Sen. Susan Collins’ entire shtick is pretending to be a moderate Republican while giving cover to the extreme right wing of her party. So when people wake up to her cynical game of bait-and-switch, it’s pretty refreshing. The Bangor Daily News is reporting that Collins’ union support could now be...
