A group of demonstrators could be seen banging on the glass front doors and inside the entrance of the Republican senator’s office before local police officers arrived on the scene. Collins’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the incident at her Biddeford office.
Collins, who is up for reelection this year, called for “a full and impartial investigation of what happened” with the shooting in a short statement posted to X.
Collins voted to adopt a budget plan that allocated nearly $70 billion for ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security. DHS was shut down for 76 days as Democrats attempted to force changes in immigration enforcement policies following other ICE-involved shootings, a closure that ended with a Republican-backed bill to fund immigration enforcement without conditions Democrats had sought.
“It’s not fair to the Department of Homeland Security’s employees to have this cloud of uncertainty over whether or not they are going to be able to be paid,” Collins told reporters in April. “They are keeping us safe.”
Collins is seeking a sixth term in the Senate.
If ONLY there was SOMETHING these Mainers could Do to show Susan Collins they DONT Support her using Taxpayer Dollars to MURDER Taxpayers in America! OH WELL!
-People who will PROBABLY Reelect her?
These clown-suits are so pathetic:
Storm a capitol building and it’s somehow “heroic”. Protestors storm a fascist local stooge’s mansion and they’re probably like
“Go away that’s mean I’m just doing my job. :(”
“ICE involved”.
At what point does it become reasonable to just start running bad politicians out of town?
Follow up question, was that point even this century?
1917 was a good time for that.
Like 15 years ago give or take
You gotta pump those numbers up.
I mean, we could draw like 50 lines going back the John Birch society and the business plot, but the tea party and gamergate were very big defining points in a significant mainstreaming and escalation
Fair but this particular rot idolizes Reagan. I’d go at least that far. I don’t think anyone is idolizing Nixon or most before then. I’d say Reagan was the origin story of maga.
Agreed, that’s probably the overall strongest line of demarcation for the start, but not the turning point
If we’re lucky, this old bitch will be joining Mitch and Lady Lindsay pretty soon.
Mitch is alive and apparently mostly well.
They made him too well in their AI photos.
Sez who? MAGA? I need more than that.

Seems a new plumbing job has come available.
