Schumer expresses support for Janet Mills in the Maine Senate primary: “We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins. She’s a tested two-term governor, and the people of Maine have an enormous amount of affection and respect for her.”

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
