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.
She will do as the AIPAC Uniparty commands
But she’s very concerned and finds the incident troubling!
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?
“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?
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.
Nixon is literally why the undead turtle is such a salty sassy corpse
Agreed, that’s probably the overall strongest line of demarcation for the start, but not the turning point
It’s hard to go back further without leaning on trends and forces, but I find it hard not to look at J6 and see the ghost of failed reconstruction. Unhung traitors kill republics sooner or later, the wound was allowed to fester.
1917 was a good time for that.
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.
Based on…?
Yeah, he never looked that alive when he was alive, even ten years ago. Doubt
“I saw a picture!” 🙄
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 is keeping us safe from landscapers & house cleaners” -Senator Suzie Collins ® of Maine
Seems a new plumbing job has come available.
