“Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget. ICE is CoreCivic's customer. The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign.

As someone born and raised in Maine through college, this is SHAMEFUL. The American Academy of Pediatrics says there is NO safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. I’ve talked with kids and families that have been locked in Dilley and have seen the trauma firsthand. Dilley, owned by CoreCivic, makes millions from OUR TAX dollars. Pediatricians are calling what’s happening in Dilley Detention Center torture. The fact that our tax money goes to abusing kids instead of helping them and that our wealthy senators are part of it is sick."

Registered Republicans aren't answering their door for the ol' Susan Collins solicitors

I wonder why .....? 🤔

I can't stand this time of year. We get slammed with 2-3 political ads EVERY commercial break on TV, we get hundreds of text messages asking,"how do you feel about...", and then we get all these damn flyers in the mail. This pile is from just under two weeks. 24 of them to be exact. If you are a politician or working with someone who sends all these damn things out, FUCK YOU!!!
