I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

NEW: The committee Susan Collins runs -- supposedly in charge of federal spending -- has posted its first hearing since she took over. Not on Musk/DOGE. Not on Trump's illegal cancellation of grants. Or his unconstitutional revenge campaign against Maine. Or his tariffs. It's on this. #MEpolitics

Susan Collins is part of the critical mass behind the largest tax hike in American history. How do we know this? Because she's not using her power to stop it -- e.g. by withholding her votes from Trump nominees; or holding hearings; or objecting to unanimous consent requests. Etc etc. #MEpolitics

It’s been a bewildering barrage: hasty investigations, threats to yank federal funds, threats of lawsuits, federal contracts canceled and restored without explanation and unsupported claims by President Donald Trump that Maine has “apologized.”

What are the chances Susan Collins voting to hike overdraft fees on Mainers gets 1/2 as much coverage in Maine media as one of her sternly worded letters or expressions of concern or dead-end messaging bills or her false claims to have "secured" funding? Hope springs eternal. We'll see! #MEpolitics

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.
