1. They are chanting "vote her out"

[COL Mustard]

23. Then do it, dammit.

Don't sit home because whoever the nominee is, isn't "pure" enough for you. Get off your asses and vote!


(Hook, I'm not O'd Man ranting at you!)

2. The call to action is is ever present. The populus is ready to respond.

Regular "every-day" citizens are becoming activists every day.

[cab67]

26. Then why wasn't Collins voted out the last time?

[yellow dahlia]

27. I am not inside savvy enough to know that answer.

Perhaps people are becoming more aware of what is at stake.

[cab67]

30. understood, but...

Collins should have been voted out years ago. That she plays lip-service to bipartisanship but only votes with Democrats when there are enough Republicans to pass whatever garbage they're pushing has been glaringly obvious.

[yellow dahlia]

32. She should have been voted out years ago. She continues to betray the citizenry.

3. What happened to calling them NICE?

[ananda]

9. I kinda like LICE.

[Torchlight]

4. I think she will finally discover a sincere concern

...for November after seeing this footage.

[calimary]

19. I certainly hope so.

But sometimes, one has to deal with other kinds of folks. And figure out what it might take to win them over. Especially those who know (or have a pretty good idea) who the voters are and what a majority of them wants.

5. Good

6. Good!

[Javaman]

7. in other news: susan collins will side with the protestors until she doesn't.

she will be all concerned to promise to look into it, then vote for continued funding for ice.

[TommyT139]

28. She gave them the bullets they are using now.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Good.

[sheshe2]

10. Good.

Now make sure to get to the polls and VOTE HER OUT!

[LuvLoogie]

12. I really really hope this BITES her in the ASS

Get her ASS out!!

14. Is Platner's replacement vowing to fight to end ICE

or at least de-fund it until there are real reforms that stop this Gestapo stuff?

[iemanja]

15. Have they decided on the replacement yet?

I thought they were having a convention.

[eShirl]

18. it's later this month, top 3 candidates seem to be Jackson, Shah and Bellows

[Bluetus]

33. For example, here is Shah's position on ICE

I just picked Shah at random to see if it was vague doubletalk or real plans. Here is an AI summary. If this s accurate, it sounds like pretty solid, tanglble, concrete thinking to me. I'm not backing him, just exploring the amplitude of his passion.
=======
Agency Reform & Dissolution: Shah has stated that in its current form, ICE "cannot continue to exist". Following a fatal July 2026 ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine, he demanded immediate agency reforms or a complete dissolution/transfer of its duties. He has even expressed willingness to vote to shut down the government to enforce ICE reforms.

State-Level Crackdown on Abuse: At the state level, Shah proposes legislation to explicitly require all law enforcement officers operating in Maine to wear ID badges and active body cameras while banning the use of masks.

Ending State Cooperation: His plan pushes to strengthen Maine’s limited-cooperation law so that state assets and resources cannot be utilized as a "force multiplier" for federal immigration activities.

Accountability Metrics: He supports legislation that would make it easier for law enforcement to be held civilly liable in Maine courts when they violate rules, while also implementing strict minimum training and first-aid mandates.

16. Who is the replacement?

17. Who is his replacement?

20. I am no fan of Susan Collins ... but

apparently she is trying to stop the OMB from attaching rules to research grants that will allow political hacks to determine what science is funded and what is done with the funding. I am attaching a link that I think will work. Susan Collins is mentioned at the end. I hope that she is more than just 'concerned'' but can do something, because this is going to happen in three days.

21. Sorry, link doesn't seem to work now, but I will try to find a better source.

[dedl67]

22. Better link to issue of science funding. Susan Collins not mentioned, here, but seems to be standing up for science

24. Paste the link on your browser. It will work.

29. Who cares about research, if govt thugs kill people without fear for their own personal safety.

The best researchers won't come here. Research is already throttled and only what conforms to trumpist idiocy gets printed. If someone discivers something novel, and he regime wants it, Trumpists get a cut.

[LisaL]

31. Well, I care about research, but I have no clue what Susan Collins supposedly

caring about research has to do with ICE. These are two different issues.

25. BRA EFFING VO

Citizens.
