Stakes high for Collins in coronavirus relief standoff

Sen. Susan Collins (R), who faces the toughest re-election campaign of her Senate career, is battling her own party over coronavirus relief funding for local and state governments hit hard by the pandemic.

The Maine senator, who is facing a tough reelection fight in a state where President Trump is expected to lose the presidential vote, has cosponsored a bill that would set up a $500 billion state and municipal recovery fund.

Collins scored a win during the negotiation of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act by co-authoring one of the bill's most popular components, the small-business lending initiative known as the Paycheck Protection Program, to which Congress added another $320 billion last month.

But delivering another round of aid for beleaguered state and local governments, something which Maine desperately needs, is a tough challenge because of opposition from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and many other Senate Republicans.

She and the GOP threw Democrat negotiators out on a Sat night and wrote the first stimulus bill on their own.

Then she went on her sick Senate floor rant about Democrat party obstructionism

Fuck her

Fuck her lame-ass attempts to rehabilitate her down-the-line support of Trump now that Election Day draws nigh.
And fuck her subservience to a party that is willing to flush our Democracy down the toilet in its relentless pursuit of power.
