Chuck, as a terrified citizen of the United States I would like to say, Step the fuck up to the plate. Political niceness has no place in politics right now. This is a crisis.

Maine Democrat here Susan. I'm still never voting for you. I am ashamed to have you for a Senator.

Susan Collins is my Senator. I have no idea how she keeps getting reelected. No one her likes her.

They are shutting down all the hospitals around me in semi-rural Maine. I am type 1 diabetic. I can't get a doctor to treat me closer then 2 1/2 hours away. That means to get my checkup every 3 months I have to take the day off from work. I feel sad for those that don't have transportation ๐ฅ

I have adopted several children out of foster care with mental health issues. I just received a letter from their doctor. They are closing immediately citing funding issues. This is bullshit. These kids do not deserve this.

I am a type 1 diabetic and have been jumping through a bunch of hoop[s lately to get my supplies. My insurance keeps deigning my insulin saying I need to take a different brand that is not even available at my pharmacy. They have to order it every time I need a refill. I'm scared!

The framing here is increasingly irritating (and misleading.) Trump's war on Maine is clearly NOT about a policy dispute but rather retribution for Mills showing him up. We know this because many states have the same policies as Maine on this issue and Trump isn't going after them. #MEpolitics

I have two special needs children in elementary school right now. I am so scared they will loose their services and more importantly the ability to be included with their peers in school and activities. They are the sweetest kids and deserve the best.
