DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

I feel very safe, don’t you?

Susan Collins sees eye-to-eye on education with the wrestling executive that Trump appointed to dismantle the Dept of Ed. (Where the heck is @maineea.bsky.social on this?) #MEpolitics via @susancollinscon.bsky.social

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

This is the context in which Susan Collins is flirting w/ backing giant Medicaid cuts to pay for a billionaire tax cut -- something she's already admitted will hurt rural hospitals. Collins probably votes 'no' in the end. But actual 'opposition' requires fighting it not fence sitting. #MEpolitics

Can't recall a Dem with this high a profile ever before calling Susan Collins out, in so many words, as a fraud. When the topic turned to Collins, Obama and Biden typically puffed her up -- either to telegraph their bipartisan bona fides or woo her. (Never worked. Not once.) Progress! #MEpolitics

“A growing backlog of hundreds of unsigned NOAA contracts has slowed agency operations to a crawl — so much so that even Sen. Ted Cruz, a staunch ally of the Trump administration, has raised concerns about the gridlock.” subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Maine’s toughest Dems in the rain at Caribou. May 17. Standing for the Constitution

A YOUNG VOICE OF SANITY!!!

Pretty sure this is the first time Susan Collins has addressed the idea of using procedural tactics to push back on Trump. Making it crystal clear that w/ all the damage he's done and continues to do to Maine, even slowing his nominations slightly for leverage goes way too far for her. #MEpolitics

Is Trump gonna do genitalia reviews himself or farm those out to JD?

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins pushed back on reports his department would slash over 80,000 jobs, claiming internal memos reflected only “goals.” Oh, great so you’re planning to cut 80,000 jobs but just haven’t done it yet. That’s reassuring.
