Susan Collins chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has the power to push back against the Trump-Musk misuse of federal funds. If you live in Maine and are ... concerned? troubled? worried? ... let her know and let her know often.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

If your options are Hitler or not Hitler you don't play the "I'm not voting for the lesser of two evils" bullshit. You do whatever you can to keep Hitler from being elected.

Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich and declared “peace for our time.” His name has been permanently stained for getting it so wrong. Now imagine Chamberlain had come back and declared: “we get half of Czech minerals!” That’s what Trump’s trying to do. Truly shameful.
