Make Susan Collins Pay for Her Big Abortion Lie
In his New Republic newsletter Power Mad, Jason Linkins argues Susan Collins should pay at the polls for her "big abortion lie," citing her 92 percent Trump voting record and Brett Kavanaugh's 2017 speech praising Rehnquist's Roe dissent to rebut her claim she couldn't anticipate his vote to overturn it. The roundup also takes in Trump-aligned hires at the Civil Rights Division, the administration's $20 million taxpayer-funded campaign ads, Charlie Cook's forecast that a Democratic House takeover is a done deal, and Matt Ford's case that a future Democratic president could use Trump's own powers to purge MAGA loyalists, perhaps by firing every ICE agent hired since 2024.
