Here are the topics to be found in Sen. Susan Collins’ Tuesday report for Aug. 19, 2025: Celebrated the 90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act; Secured Postponement and Review of Navigational Buoy Removal; Funding Secured for Child Care Centers Across Maine; American Hospital Association Salutes Senator Collins for Rural Hospital Funding; MIA Korean War Veteran to be Laid to Rest in Milbridge; and Sue Cyr Celebrates Her 80th Birthday (“Maine Moment of the Week”).
And it is the same every week — all worth celebrating, but nothing said about: Ukraine; Gaza; ICE deportations; a mail-in ballot ban; extreme gerrymandering in Texas (and soon Florida, several other states); and the takeover of Washington, D.C., by the National Guard and FBI agents. I could go on and on.
Is Collins not a national official? Did she not take a national oath? Isn’t her Tuesday report just a way to hide from her constituents what really matters?
Why is it so hard to get rid of her?
