Have you had a similar experience to this one when calling Collins' office?
Report from a user calling the Augusta office of Senator Susan Collins...
If you're a Mainer calling Collins, maybe add that her staff shouldn't be arguing with a constituent. Or calling them a fucking bitch.

"We refuse to be intimidated by these threats, and we reject their unlawful demands that infringe on Minnesota’s fundamental sovereignty. My fellow attorneys general and I will continue to stand firm in defense of the rule of law and Americans’ rights.”
The Trump admin is relentless in its quest to undermine our right to vote.
Pam Bondi's attempt to seize voter rolls in Minnesota is just an example. Her demands are coercive and unlawful—and should not fly under the radar.
22 state AGs agree:

Dems *really* want to fund ICE. These "reforms" are nothingburgers and a sad misunderstanding of negotiation. A few gentle points:
MAINE is wholly within the border zone.
ICE is already the fourth-highest-funded military in the world. These "reforms" would give it even more $.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
