I still can’t believe it

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I knew it was coming. It doesn’t make it any easier. Susan Collins alleges herself a moderate...somehow I thought she would be above this. I hoped that maybe - just maybe - she would see this Moment of Conscience and do more than wave as it passed her by. Sh…

BREAKING: Susan Collins just announced she would acquit Donald Trump

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I just saw Susan Collins announce on the floor of the Senate that she would vote to acquit Donald Trump - the most corrupt President in history. This is unacceptable. It’s clear we cannot trust our democracy to the Republican Senate majority. We must defeat …

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins voted with Mitch McConnell ten times to block documents and witness testimony at the beginning of the trial. Ten times. But once the outcome of the vote to authorize witnesses was doomed to fail, Mitch McConnell gave Collins the chance to prete…

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins desperately wants you to think she is a “moderate”. A moderate wouldn’t have voted 10 times to block witnesses in the impeachment trial. A moderate wouldn’t have confirmed Brett Kavanaugh and put Roe v. Wade at risk. A moderate wouldn’t have he…
