Scammy Susan’s voting records don’t lie. #MEPolitcs
Another data point:
Susan Collins cast more than a dozen tie-breaking votes FOR Trump bills/nominees in 2017-18 alone.
By contrast, pretty sure she's never cast a tie-breaking vote AGAINST Republican nominees and I'm not aware of a single tie-breaking vote against any GOP bills either. #MEpolitics

It's never happened. At least not since I've been watching (late 2006.)
Consider: Every Republican judicial nominee Susan Collins has ever voted against has been confirmed. They're all judges/justices now. #MEpolitics

A plan to build a public medical school at UMaine was just denied because it would cost $200 million, and we don't have the money.

3 things can be true: Platner's alleged acts are egregious/worrisome; the DC establishment would like to bury him based on his views/aims as much as his personal history; a faction within the party sees him as a threat and his success would signal/cement an ebbing of that faction's power. #MEpolitcs
Compare the headline to the quote.
Beyond that: The article cites four people who are "furious": An anonymous Senate aide; a DNC member we've never heard of; president of Democratic Majority for Israel; and the founder of a DC-based group we've never heard of.
None seem to be in Maine. #MEpolitics

If the trend of the past five years continues at the same rate, there will be no Mainers living in the city by 2050. Alarm bells? Not yet.

There are so many issues to press Susan Collins on -- Trump nominees, her shilling for MAGA etc etc.
The only reason for a local TV news interviewer to focus on Ukraine is because it's a "safe" topic that Collins is happy to discuss.
In other words it's PR masquerading as journalism. #MEpolitcs
