Maine media, what is the worst that could happen if you asked one of these questions - Would you be fired? Reassigned? Or do you just already know her petulant answer and you lack the energy to write it down? Asking sincerely because jfc that woman gets away with a lot. #MEpolitics
"Why did you slip in a provision to pay GOP senators $500,000?" is a question that could be asked of Susan Collins if even one reporter in Maine or DC had the temerity to pose it to her.
(Same is true of: "Why have you held zero oversight hearings under Trump?") #MEpolitics

On Maine right-wing radio this morning, Susan Collins says she was “responsible for not only putting the bill together, but also managing it on the Senate floor, dealing with proposals to change it…”
So why did she slip in the provision to pay GOP Senators 500k?

Angus King is a weak, shallow excuse for a senator. Just a colossal failure. #MEpolitics
Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.

Maine politicos, do you know about this helpful account where Angus King consistently shines as a Trump-normalizing surrender monkey? #MEpolitics
This is Chris Coons' 19th yea vote to confirm a Trump nominee, Fetterman's 40th, Hassan's 39th, King's 36th, and Shaheen's 45th.

“The government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion.”

1/19 "God bless America" was written by a Jewish immigrant from Russia. He wasn't Christian. He wasn't born a U.S. citizen. He wrote the song about a country that gave hope to the weary.
Much of the Christian nation revision happened in the 1950s as a way to distinguish from "godless" countries.

A simple solution to reducing cruise ship air & water pollution that is available to every port community.
It is time to make cruise lines accountable for destroying our air & water & demand they use cleaner fuels while at berth.

“Portland needs to join with other port communities all over the world in banning scrubber wash discharge.
Can we protect our beautiful bay from this toxic discharge without reducing
cruise industry revenue to the city? Yes, we can.”

Susan Collins wants Canada to apologize for using this quote. And not a peep from her about Trump's childish, moronic, retaliatory tariffs.

Today a Crystal cruise ship has arrived in Portland.
Crystal ships were banned from entering the Monterey, CA for 15 years after one of its former ships discharged untreated graywater, treated sewage & oily bilge into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
