To our knowledge, Susan Collins has NEVER been the deciding vote against a GOP bill or nominee -- with the exception of the McCain thumbs down which was an accident, taking her and everyone else by surprise.
By contrast she's been the deciding vote FOR dozens of GOP bills/judges/etc. #MEpolitics

Has she ever been the deciding vote against a bill/judge/cabinet nominee the GOP wanted to pass?
This is accurate. For Collins and Murkowski too. They like to trade off on oppositional votes when it looks like they could impact the outcome. If Collins really wanted to send this bill to the graveyard where it belongs, she would have done the work to form a 4-Senator bloc. #MEPolitics

Those of us in Maine who have tracked Sen. Susan Collins for years know that her vote against this bill ONLY came after her party had enough votes to pass the measure. Rs said last week they were going to find a way for her to vote no because she's in a tight re-election race next year. #MEPolitics

Last night the Senate held likely the most important vote of 2025-6, encapsulating essentially the entire GOP agenda for the term.
Susan Collins cast a pivotal vote to get Trump's bill over the line, selling out the people of Maine. So how are Maine outlets covering it?
PPH isn't. #MEpolitics

The President’s decision to bomb Iran without the authorization of Congress is reckless, unconstitutional, and puts countless lives at risk—including U.S. troops in the region.

Susan Collins has funneled $10K in recent years to a senator who's now making jokes about the assassination of a political rival -- and that doesn't include close to a million dollars she's sent to external groups that worked to elect him.

In tiny Calais, a town in a deep red Maine district, we got this wonderful turnout. Somewhere between 156-158 people showed up, AND IT WAS FUN. For this area, this is huge. Calais has never seen such a large political turnout. I am encouraged. Ron Welch

Are Mainers ready for an almost HALF BILLION dollar hit to our state's GDP? Because that's what's coming if the House GOP's budget bill becomes law. Here's what else we can expect: 🧵
