Note that in Maine people don’t believe Susan Collins when she says ICE/CBP have left the state. They say ICE/CBP agents are simply “blending in”.
Good article, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/maine-ice-raids 1/

As a general rule, no one should believe Susan Collins. Ever.

@heidilifeldman
The phrase "in Maine people don’t believe Susan Collins when she says ..." can easily and accurately be completed with a wildcard character.

I'll spare you the exact description, but among Mainers I know she has no credibility.

[badtux@mastodon.social]

@heidilifeldman But Susan Collins is concerned. Oh, so concerned. Why, she might even write a letter saying just how concerned she is.

@heidilifeldman

Susan Collins believes that "ICE has learned their lesson."

Please #Maine, replace Collins with a Democrat who cares.

@Ehay2k wouldn't it be amazing if this finally did it?

@Ehay2k @heidilifeldman I'll only believe that report if she's also concerned, and disappointed.

@Ehay2k @heidilifeldman Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 2000 times, I'm Susan Collins.

@Ehay2k @heidilifeldman Not _that_ lesson. That other one. 😬

@mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman

indeed...

trump learned his lesson. ICE learned their lesson.

guess it's time for Maine to teach Collins a lesson...

[adamhotep@infosec.exchange]

@Ehay2k @heidilifeldman oh, she cares. She just doesn't know how to do anything about anything. As somebody who hums and haws, she presumably gets a lot of deals for that leverage (esp. for Kavanaugh), but I couldn't name a single victory for her constituents (which used to include me).

@Ehay2k @heidilifeldman We have ranked-choice voting in Maine, so Graham Platner or Janet Mills will be our new Senator next year. The loser needs to focus on replacing King.

@mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman 🗣 FACTS!!!

[doomsdayscw@kolektiva.social]

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

[woozle@toot.cat]

@blogdiva @mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman

Only if the lesson is "we can totally get away with this stuff regardless of how many people protest it".

[doomsdayscw@kolektiva.social]

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

[stevegis_ssg@mas.to]

@mattblaze @Ehay2k @heidilifeldman

She has to just be lying. It's the simplest explanation.
