Three of our four investigations ended at the same senator's campaign account. A pardoned fraudster. Epstein's billionaire client. ICE's jailers. Susan Collins took money tied to all three. Maine has 31 days to be concerned. https://t.co/BDNR8TcQ2j

To the people of Maine, never forget this pro-child rapist vote of Susan Collins.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

This election will determine who confirms the next Supreme Court justice.

Susan Collins voted to confirm three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, and she's voted with Donald Trump 96% of the time.

She's no "independent" and she can't be trusted to decide our Supreme Court justice. Look at her receipts.

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare politicians including Sen. Susan Collins — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. ProPublica has revealed the existence of the case. https://t.co/h03Nx7XIGr

BREAKING: Senate Majority PAC is launching a $3.4M ad campaign EXPOSING Susan Collins’ corrupt dealings with Navatek.

She took thousands in illegal campaign donations and steered government contracts in return. Corruption, clear as day.

[Anthony Emerson❤️🌲🦞🇾🇪🌹 @AnthonyMEmerson]

I'm told $3.4 million going behind this ad hitting Collins on her blatant pay-for-play scheme

[Lauren French @laurennfrench]

Susan Collins took illegal campaign contributions from a defense contractor, and then steered millions of your tax dollars to that very same company. And we're going to make sure voters in Maine know about it.

Axios: Senate Majority PAC runs ad in Maine detailing allegations made against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report

“Susan Collins took illegal campaign money and steered millions in government contracts to the donor,” a female narrator says in the ad.

[Nick Field @nick_field90]

I'm absolutely baffled by how Dems are letting the ProPublica report die down. It shows Collins to be corrupt and tied to Trump, the two most damaging looks for her. There was a Super PAC ad but not much else

[ProPublica @propublica]

Sen. Susan Collins says she was “totally cleared” of pay-to-play allegations by the FBI years ago.

But FBI records show that agents remained interested in her office in early 2025, right up until the anti-corruption unit was gutted by Trump.

Portland Press Herald Editorial Board: "It is extremely disappointing to watch Collins and members of her staff move to immediately discredit a thorough and fair piece of investigative journalism on political and personal grounds." https://t.co/WhPCZ0r7tQ

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

As Susan Collins faces a tight reelection race, news of a probe involving political contributions and federal contracts is raising a politically charged question: Where does Collins’s aggressive advocacy on behalf of Mainers end and improper influence begin? https://t.co/HLLjNuPPj1

@dougherty_jesse @NewYorker My son is a junior at Oberlin and told me there are several football players in his dorm this year. May have to get at least a temporary subscription to the New Yorker to read.

@cameronsoran I have a friend who's kid plays elementary, left baseball for soccer because of the attitudes. Schedules with basically only Saturday games are deadly. A lot of people, much less parents, can't give up that Saturday.
