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.
I’ve seen people suddenly look younger before, namely an elderly man that was my neighbor when I was young. It was never explained to me, but I’m pretty sure something like dementia or a stroke caused it. He looked at me, curious and delighted like a small child - and I could’ve sworn his eyes were never that blue before. It really freaked me out, but I guess it just means the expression we wear does a lot for how old we’re perceived as.
That, it’s AI generated, or he drank the blood of a small child.
Well, Snopes said it’s not AI (credit to Tango above) and I don’t believe in the power of blood drinking, so I’m sticking with my theory for now.
I’m staying skeptical for now. Mainly because I hope he’s becoming Satan’s new roommate.
