Susan Collins defends not holding town halls by saying she likes to meet will small groups.
The small groups of "constituents" she touts in her weekly Tuesday newsletter this week is a lobbyist advised by her former comms director (as pointed out by @CollinsWatch)

Dozens of protesters in Portland are calling on Sen. Susan Collins to hold a town hall for her constituents. The group says she has not held a town hall for Mainers in over 25 years.

I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill.
Those games won’t fool anyone. It won’t trick voters, it won’t trick House members. People will not forget it.

HAPPY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY to Susan Collins saying Trump learned a “pretty big lesson” from his first impeachment
Collins Watch retweeted
As @CollinsWatch points out, in new Spectrum interview, Susan Collins flat out lies claiming she never said what she said about Trump learning his lesson.
Typical. #mesen #mepolitics

“We’re set to raise prices,” the CEO of Columbia Sportswear said. “It’s going to be very, very difficult to keep products affordable for Americans.” by @davidjlynch washingtonpost.com/business/…

We ran an article Friday about how the Trump campaign has made a habit of deceptively using quotes in its TV ads, cutting out words and taking stuff way out of context.
Then the campaign released the most egregious example yet. Here's a thread on deceptive quotes in its new ad.

It's an astonishing feat of mathematics to raise taxes on 95% of Americans all in the name of cutting taxes on average.
Collins Watch retweeted
the contrast couldn't big bigger:
-under harris, on average, the bottom 99% will see taxes go down while the top 1% will see taxes go up
-under trump, on average, the bottom 95% will see costs go up while the top 5% will see taxes go down

Kamala Harris tonight: “You shouldn’t have to wipe out your savings to qualify for Medicaid” for longterm care help with your parents
In most states the individual asset limit for Medicaid long-term care is *$2,000.* Meaning if you've worked your whole life to accumulate a nest egg but can't afford this kind of bill you have to spend down all you've earned until you get to owning less than $2K in your name. (Stocks, bonds, vehicles, cash, retirement accounts all included)

Trump Homeland Security Official Kevin Carroll: Trump admires Hitler. He frequently said to senior staff, ‘Why don't my generals support me the way that Hitler's generals supported him?’ The man quotes Hitler. And it's not as if he's accidentally quoting him. When it's brought to his attention, he says it again
