Republican Susan Collins says she's voting against Kash Patel's nomination to be Trump's FBI Director:
"Mr. Patel's recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI."

Vote was scheduled for 1:45pm EST today, Thursday, Feb 20, 2025. Earlier, the vote was 51-47 to get it to the floor for a Full Senate vote.
The Rs are treasonous bastards, all of them.
We all know there isn't a 4th R Senator that will object.
She is full of it.
She knows her vote doesn't matter.
I would suggest she already knows what the votes are for his confirmation and her NO vote isn’t going to matter one single bit.
The FBI will be hollowed out and what is left will be weaponized against Trump’s enemies.
She'll never learn. I hope Mainers drop kick her in '26.

other gop sycophants will approve that thing

Figured he’d be perfectly acceptable to the GOP even if he’s running around “ working “

You KNOW he has #Fetterman vote…
#PATHETIC #DNC!!
Collins would never be the one to sink a Trump nominee.
The one thing we can count on with Republicans, is that their courage reflects their fake convictions of American democracy.
OTOH, he meets 1 ws metric for being denied: the wrong kind of melanin.
"Mr Patel has assured me... I will be voting for him": Susan Collins, doing her rug pull yet again.
How are people still taking what she says at face value? She lies as much as Trump.
She will absolutely vote yes when the time comes “I think he learned his lesson”
Susan Collins is actually doing something beyond shrugging her shoulders
