This is #UselessSusanCollins' response to my concerns about the #SAVEAct . Wow...! It seems she's #VeryConcerned about losing her seat and is in support of it!

February 12, 2026

Dear _______,

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

The SAVE Act, which was introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), would amend the National Voter Registration Act to require proof of United States #citizenship when registering to vote. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, but this legislation would establish means for confirming citizenship, require states to establish a process for removing noncitizens from voter rolls, and create federal penalties for knowingly registering a noncitizen to vote in federal elections. It would also establish an alternative verification pathway for individuals who lack proper documentation but are, in fact, United States citizens. The SAVE Act has been referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, on which I do not serve.

Should the SAVE Act or similar legislation concerning federal elections be considered by the full Senate, I will review it carefully. Again, thank you for contacting me.

Sincerely,

Susan M. Collins
United States Senator

They have been trying to pass #SAVEAct for years. And yeah, #UselessSusanCollins authored one of the early versions, along with #MartinHeinrich (D-NM). With #Democrats like that, who needs the #GOP?!!!

SAVE Act
Securing America’s Voting Equipment Act of 2017

"U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, introduced bipartisan legislation to protect American election systems from foreign interference. The Securing America’s Voting Equipment (SAVE) Act would help safeguard voting systems, registration data, and ballots from theft, manipulation, and malicious computer hackers

The SAVE Act would:
"Designate voting systems as critical infrastructure for the purposes of the
Department of Homeland Security (#DHS)." [Oh yeah, that sounds like a GREAT f*cking idea... NOT!]

Heh, I mean #UselessSusanCollins is VERY CONCERNED she might lose the election! @mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman

But #UselessSusanCollins is VERY CONCERNED!!!! @mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman

The primaries aren't until next June. Flawed as he is, Platner would be better than #UselessSusanCollins. However, Janet Mills is looking better (consistency, sortakinda). Jared Golden of the 2nd District won't be running, so I think Maine will be stuck with Paul LePlague in the 2nd District, and Chellie Pingree in the 1st District. @MusiqueNow

Another #BernieSanders endorsed #Maine candidate!

This Maine #oysterman thinks Democrats are doing ‘jack’ about #fascism. So he’s running for US Senate

#GrahamPlatner’s viral X post and unusual campaign launch video are bringing attention to his effort to unseat #SusanCollins

"One of Graham Platner’s high school yearbooks shows him babyfaced with a buzzcut, holding a sign proclaiming, in part: '#FreePalestine.' The image is accompanied by a superlative his classmates bestowed upon him: 'Most Likely to Start a #Revolution.'

" 'We’ll see!' Platner wrote on X Thursday, posting a photo of the yearbook page, in a post that’s been viewed 4.5m times. Now bearded, burly and tattooed, with a sweep of dirty blond hair above a sunburnt face, Platner still believes in a Free Palestine. He also thinks it’ll take something revolutionary to save the US, so earlier this week, when the oysterman announced his candidacy to be the next US senator from Maine, he pulled no punches."

And yeah. I suspect the ONLY reason #SusanCollins voted against the #BigUglyBill and proposed an amendment that she knew would fail, is BECAUSE SHE IS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION! AGAIN!! But she advanced the #BigBeautifulBill! #UselessSusanCollins

"Three Republican senators — Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined all Democrats in voting against it."

#USPol #MainePol

Was the vote before or after #SusanCollins fell asleep? Also, maybe #UselessSusanCollins shouldn't have voted to push the #BigUglyBill forward and not have voted for #JusticeKavanagh and other #Trump appointees?

Senate rejects Collins amendment to support rural hospitals

by WGME Staff
Tue, July 1st 2025 at 7:18 AM

"#Maine Senator Susan Collins proposed her own amendment to President Donald Trump's self-proclaimed '#BigBeautifulBill.'

"She called for doubling proposed funding for rural health care providers to $50 billion.

"Senator Collins said the change would be paid for by increasing the tax rate on the wealthy.

"Collins noted the recent string of hospital closures and the current financial strain being put on #NursingHomes.

" 'Mr. President, when these facilities close their doors, the people they serve are often left behind without access to healthcare. This amendment would help keep them open and caring for those who live in these rural communities,' Sen. Collins said.

"Politico reports the Senate ultimately voted against the amendment by a vote of 78 to 22."

'People will die': #Maine nurses protest #MedicaidCuts in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

Aysia Reed, Tue, July 1st 2025 at 12:21 PM

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Senators could vote on Tuesday on President Donald #Trump's self-proclaimed '#BigBeautifulBill,' a sweeping policy document that lawmakers have been debating all day and night.

"They are in a phase where any senator can add an amendment, known as a 'vote-a-rama.'

"While the president was hoping to see it on his desk by July 4, senators have been back and forth since the weekend.

"One of the biggest hang ups between the parties has been proposed cuts to health care and programs like Medicaid.

"Nurses from across the state will be outside of Senator Susan Collins’ district office in Portland on Tuesday to protest the proposed medical cuts under Trump’s bill.

"This is part of a nationwide effort held by the group #NationalNursesUnited, which is the nation's largest #union of registered nurses.

"New estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show nearly 12 million Americans could lose their health insurance if Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' passes.

"Medicaid provides health care coverage to the most vulnerable populations. More than one in five people in the U.S. had health care covered by Medicaid in 2023, according to National Nurses United.

"Senator #AngusKing says an analysis shows 60,000 people in Maine would lose their coverage. That's 40,000 under #Medicaid and 20,000 under the #AffordableCareAct.

"Without insurance, he says people will die because they won't have access to routine care.

" 'The idea of cutting health insurance from people is not just, 'Oh well, they just won't have coverage for their doctor’s visits.' No, people die when they don’t have health insurance. There is statistical analysis to bear that out,' said King.

#Maine #Nurses are gathered in front of #SusanCollins' #PortlandME office... GOOD!
#UselessSusanCollins #BigUglyBill #NoTaxCutsForBillionaires #MedicaidCuts #MaineResists #VeryConcerned

This from Team #BernieSanders. Seems there are some folks who will be allowed into #SusanCollins' offices in #AugustaME and #PortlandME. Time of the event sent to those who pre-register. Not crazy about that, but if you're interested, here is the email... (And yeah, I'm banned from Susan Collins' offices anyways.)

"#Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” makes their agenda clear:

"If you are rich and powerful, you are ENTITLED to more. You deserve massive tax breaks and hand outs that will help you get richer.

"But if you are working class or poor, you are entitled to NOTHING.

"This bill has passed the House, but the fight’s not over. The Senate will vote on the bill later this month. If we organize together, we still have time to stop it.

"This Friday and Monday, people across your state are showing up at their Senators’ offices to say: Vote NO on the Trump Budget.

"Please mark your calendar and sign up using the links below to join us at an event near you:

VISIT AT SENATOR COLLINS’ AUGUSTA OFFICE
Friday, 6/20; time TBA
SIGN UP for more info!

VISIT AT SENATOR COLLINS’ PORTLAND OFFICE
Friday, 6/20; time TBA

Not near an in-person action?

Then we need you to commit to call your Senator on Friday, June 20 and demand they vote no. Sign up here and we’ll send you everything you need to make that call count:

‘Listen to the people’: Thousands demonstrate across #Maine for national day of action against #Trump

#Mainers rallied in over 20 towns against mass firings and cuts to federal programs

By: Lauren McCauley - April 5, 2025

"'The power of the people is more important and stronger than the people in power.'

"That was what U.S. Sen. Angus King told the thousands of people who gathered on Congress Street in Portland on Saturday to protest the administration of President Donald Trump. [#UselessSusanCollins wasn't there. Nothing new...]

"According to organizers, 3,000 people attended the #PortlandME rally, which was just one of more than 20 events held across Maine as part of national '#HandsOff!' actions to demonstrate widespread opposition to the gutting of the federal government spearheaded by billionaire advisor #ElonMusk.

"The town mall in #BrunswickME, where over 500 people rallied, was a sea of homemade signs. Maine Senate President Mattie Daughtry, who represents the district, was among the crowd and noted it was one of the few times in her life she’s seen 'this many people gathered for something like this.'

"The message, she said, is 'to listen to the people.'

"'A lot of the signs that I saw were about ‘Hands off our Social Security,’ ‘Hands off our libraries,’ ‘Hands off our health care,’ I think what we’re saying is, you can’t completely unravel the fabric of our society without people noticing.'"

@PariaSansPortefeuille "I can't help but feel alarmed, troubled and concerned." #UselessSusanCollins

#Maine protesters call out #SenatorSusanCollins for not holding a town hall in 25 years

Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME, March 16, 2025

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Dozens of protesters took to Congress Square Park in #PortlandME on Sunday, calling on Senator Susan Collins to hold a town hall for her constituents.

"The group #IndivisibleGreaterPortland says Senator Collins has not held a town hall for Mainers in over 25 years. So, on Sunday, the group held a town hall without her.

"Participants voiced concerns about federal cuts from #DOGE, #tariffs, and Trump's talk about taking over #Greenland and Gaza.

"'People are scared. People have questions. People need answers. People don't understand what's going on. Things are just moving too fast, and they're out of touch with their elected officials who basically are sending form letters and not explaining their votes,' Marie Follayttar, who attended the event, said.

"CBS13 reached out to Senator Collins for a response but did not hear back."

#UniversityOfMaine’s #USDA funding restored

by WABI News Desk
Published: Mar. 12, 2025 at 9:05 PM EDT

Maine (WABI) - "Senator #SusanCollins announced Wednesday that the University of Maine’s funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been restored.

"On Monday the University received notice that funding from the USDA was paused.

"According to UMS, the notice stated the pause was temporary while the USDA evaluated potential follow-up actions related to prospective Title VI (6) or Title IX (9) violations.

"Collins released at statement saying:

'This USDA funding is critically important not only to the University of Maine, but to our farmers and loggers, as well as to the many people who work in #Maine’s #agriculture, #aquaculture, and #forestry industries. Now that funding has been restored, the work that the University does in partnership with the many people and communities who depend on these programs can continue.'"
