AIPAC & other right-wing groups have gifted Susan Collins with $64,665 in lavish vacations since 2021.
By contrast, Maine Senator Angus King hasn't embarked on any paid-for luxury travel like Collins. Drain the swamp!

@neeratanden@DCCyclone@WajahatAli If there’s one thing Maine voters despise, it’s out of state talking heads telling us what to do. Neera, come to Maine, spend some time around our working class. We like platner, because he is just like us and that’s the part you are missing. His scandals are not that scandalous
I don't find the lobster and steak comment as offensive as the dismissive comment about people who are struggling with affordability not working as hard as he does. Congress is so out of touch with reality.
This is what Democratic Establishment thinks of Maine voters and pretty much most of their own base.
Vote blue no matter who!!! Except...when it isn't a candidate that we like then we will tear them down.
Maybe if you all had even half of this much fire against billionaires, Israel's genocide and ICE, the Dem Party wouldn't have it lowest favorabolity in decades.
Keep punching the left and moving to the center. Great strategy.
Well, maybe Democratic "centrists" and the corporate donors should rally behind him instead of doing what they've done, which is to do everything to destroy and smear him.
But, I think they actually will sacrifice Platner and Maine to teach "the progressives" a lesson.
Also, run a better candidate than Mills next time, but, nope, they won't change.
The Supreme Court’s ruling to allow states to ban trans kids from playing in sports is discriminatory and opens the door to incredibly invasive examinations of children to determine who can play on what team.
All of our kids deserve to play sports. This decision targets a tiny population of athletes and further emboldens Republicans’ anti-trans crusade.
There's a reason men choose not to spend their days raising their kids. It's thankless, relentless, more difficult, more high stakes, and far more stressful than whatever their job is. If parenting was the easier, better, more pleasant option, men wouldn't let women do it.
@Thefurrylobo@PatchoSombrero Gee it’s so horrible that people are not allowed to smoke in cars with kids. Taking away freedoms and all that, like the freedom to grow up breathing healthy air and not getting lung cancer … oh wait.. your against that
@SenSusanCollins Hey Susan. I grew up in Maine and also needed braces, I had Maine care, but there were almost zero providers who accepted it, I didn’t know I just had to ask you. I’m now 40, still with messed up teeth and it’s too expensive to try. How about affordable healthcare for all??
Hot take on the “women file for divorce more than men” debate:
Dude, if she used to book your dentist appointments for you, she knew she’d have to do the divorce paperwork, too.
