Mainers, start your Monday morning off right with a letter to your senator! Need an idea? How about demanding she refuse to confirm Kash Patel and the other that comprise Trump's clown car of cabinet picks.

From the article:
Imagine that you are a foreign leader who wishes to destroy the United States. How could you do so? The easiest way would be to get Americans to do the work themselves, to somehow induce Americans to undo their own health, law, administration, defense, and intelligence.

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan.

Mainahs have you written a letter to the senator yet? If you care about health, longevity, and quality of life, perhaps you should write a letter about the cabinet nomination or Robert F Kennedy Jr to head up Health & Human Services. Millions could needlessly die if Susan Collins confirms him.

Mainahs! Take a break from raking up the leaves this weekend and write a Letter to the Senator. Need some inspo? How about Hegseth to head up Defense? Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a former Marine Corps officer, said he believes Hegseth is “going to try very hard to politicize the military.”

For the 3rd time today, Susan Collins votes against a "well-qualified"-rated Biden judicial nominee.
Pennell is the 71st Biden nominee she's sided against overall.
Last time under Trump, Collins helped confirm a 33-year-old 'unqualified'-rated nominee who'd never even tried a case #mepolitics

Susan Collins, whose brand is built around the idea that she's a straight-shooter who loathes partisanship, just voted against 3 highly-qualified Dem judicial nominees in one day.
That's more than she voted against in 8 years of George W. Bush and the first 2 years of Trump combined. #mepolitics

Did Susan Collins vote to reject three eminently qualified, mainstream Biden judge nominees at the same time she's tiptoeing around Trump's burn-it-all-down, authoritarian picks as a way to suck up to the MAGA lord? Or just because she's a GOP team player?
