‘Pattern of Negligence–or Worse’: Maine Republican Senators Urge AG Pam Bondi to Investigate State Finances After Devastating Audit

And this…

The Trump administration has frozen federal funding to Maine for refusing to comply with President Trump’s Executive Order to ban men in women’s sports. Trump threatened the action during a Feb 20th speech to state governors, and he’s now made good on that promise.

And this…

Mitch McConnell just voted with Senate Democrats to TERMINATE President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, 51-48

Why is our OWN US SENATE siding with a foreign nation?!

Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul joined all Democrats in backing a resolution from Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine that would end that national emergency. Paul, of Kentucky, co-sponsored the measure.

McConnell offered Paul, a fellow Kentuckian, a fist-bump on the chamber floor. They broke out into applause as the gavel went down and closed the vote.

The dissent from this handful of Senate Republicans is purely symbolic: Speaker Mike Johnson has already moved to prevent a floor vote in the House to end the types of national emergencies upon which Trump is relying to levy his tariffs.

Still, the vote stands as the first major break with Trump since the start of his second term from a Republican-controlled chamber that has otherwise been mostly compliant, from approving controversial cabinet nominees to standing aside as the Department of Government Efficiency slashes through the federal government.

Trump had also publicly pressured GOP lawmakers to vote against the Democratic-led resolution, going so far as to call Collins, Murkowski, McConnell and Paul to “get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change.” Senate GOP leaders were also aligned against the resolution.

James Braid, Trump’s top legislative aide, even took to the Hill Monday in an attempt to assuage Republicans anxious about the potential ramifications of the president’s trade war escalation. But some senators were ultimately unable to stomach the economic attack on the nation’s northern neighbor and leading trade partner — let alone the likely disruptions to core industries across farm and border states.

Collins, for instance, had previously expressed concerns about the ramifications of Trump’s Canada tariffs for her home state of Maine, whose economy — and core industries such as lobstering, pulp and paper, and potatoes and blueberries — is integrated with that of its bordering nation.
