Just barely... that was entirely too close.

now investigate her shady ass
Now is NOT the Time to be POLITICAL!
-LITERALLY Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
Say the career politicians, whose entire job is to be political. WTF do they think they get elected for, if not to be political?
I was promised a witch hunt if the Democratic party won the midterms.
Must I scatter a trail of breadcrumbs to the wicked crone?
Watching some of those exit interviews was just astonishing with the way people were content with Collins but just decided it was time for a change of pace.
I'm telling you. Maine is full of shy, embarrassed conservatives.
Within the scope of the recent PEW Research typology, they're at the very least a mixture of Order and Opportunity Left and Tuned-Out Middle, the former who basically get caught up in the security and immigration bullshit Republicans sling.
It's the older generation electing ghouls because it's the "polite" thing to do or some stupid shit. It's why Florida didn't flip near as hard as everywhere else.
Can we let the hurricanes eat Florida yet or is that considered uncouth/ uncivilized/ a human rights violation. Cause personally I think Bugs Bunny had the right idea.
Rural conservative driven by a burning desire not to let Massachusetts pull ahead in the liberal policy arms race.

I'm not sure I'd take all that at face value. If you are a voter that believes you are surrounded by hostile people of a different mind you'd play it off casually too.
Nobody knew what they were walking into at the polls yesterday, for all we knew ICE was going to be out in force (also why a lot of us voted early) and all these people had lives to go back to, with no expectation that it would be the landslide it was. In what is still Trump's US, it's entirely possible some of those exit interviewees kept it deliberately casual just so that no one would have anything to hang on them later.
Goddam! I said GODDAM !!!!!
Not bad America - not fucking bad at all.
Thank all of you. I was sweating it.
Don't unclench yet, we have a month of lame duck fuckery ahead of us.
Two months: the 120th Congress doesn't get sworn in until January 3, 2027. And those two months are going to be wild.
Exactly. They're not even out of the starting gate yet.
However, I am more hopeful than I've been in a year. I realize the shitbag isn't going to let go "peacefully" or any other way - and he's almost got the military sewed up with most of the leadership treasonous - but damn! It did not expect what happened Tuesday.
I hope they hit the ground running because the ship is brimming full of rats that need scuttling.
They're not out of hot water yet. Establishment Dems could still vote Schumer & Jeffries in as speakers while funneling AIPAC money to undermine the progressive caucus in congress.
They'll end iran war funding and ICE funding on day 1. But I guarantee they'll stop at half measures every time unless Americans keep democrats' feet to the fire.
I agree completely. We're not out of the gate yet and there's going to be bullets, knives, and flung shit from every direction. It's going to take a full frontal effort on part of blue to pull off America - a LOT of spine. It seems we've hired some honest people who'll be excellent public servants. The way it's supposed to be. Yay America. I'm proud of ya!
americans have no actual methods of “keeping their feet to the fire” because the methods all illegal
They need to prove that they are going to cause major change or is all for nothing. I know my boycott of murikkka is not ending until I see significant change
I'm not sure mine will until I die, and certainly not until Trump and his ilk are no longer a concern. That's simply a national security matter.
You go girl! I'm with ya.! Only problem I have with that is I am in it. Boycotting is not an option, but keep it up. Screw that pumpkin faced blowhard and his whole criminal gang.
She really shouldn't care. She's made her money. Solid loot run all the way into old age. She enthusiastically fucked over regular people for massive personal gain. Good job SC! Don't die any time soon!
I've only known one Mainer. But if he's at all typical of the folks up there, the one attribute I'd imagine not going over well among those constituents is laziness. Those are some hard-working mofos.
Time to lock her up for her crimes
Sounds like voters already took care of her. Bit extreme, but RIP

I hate to say it but don't forget about the Kirsten Sinema / Joe Manchun effect. Dems might have the majority in the Senate but they still have enough lurking Demuplicans silently willing to smear their feces on real reform.
They’re looking at likely a 6 person majority. Not that it couldn’t still happen, but 6? (5 I guess since they only need to tie)
Doubtful.
May I suggest the term blue dog to refer to these profligates, no offense but Demuplicans is a mouthful to read and also feels like it's the name of an F tier demon from an SMT game.
51 Majority is an extraordinarily weak majority, 56 is a different story!
Trump, whose net approval rating in Maine was –32 on Election Day and who lost the state to Kamala Harris in 2022.
Huh? 2022??
Was this article written by hallucinating AI or was there some other vote in 2022? Because 2024 was the election between Trump and Harris.
This lady will be remembered for failing all women in this country. May she faid away to obscurity...or prison.
About fucking time. Collins has always been a spineless empty suit who just voted as she was told. She'd complain on one hand while voting yes to whatever she was complaining about with the other hand.
FBI was investigating her until pedo took office. Would love to see that case reopened.
While head slightly shaking, and voice mildly trembling: '' Well-l, I gue-ss voters, knew Troy Jaa-ck-sson is a cousin ffuck-err, and still prefer him. Iff they knew he was a cousin ffuck-err, but I doont waant to make it an issue''.
Goodye, shaky lying puppet Susan Collins
Fuck you bitch don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
No more sternly worded letters from you, you fucking witch.
Now you can go fuck off into the woods of irrelevance, or just go as far north as you can and keep going to fucking Canada until you freeze to death the fucking arctic circle.
