Or is it because Susan Collins is resisting?

“President Donald Trump is threatening to cut federal funding to Maine because transgender athletes are allowed to compete in girls’ sports,” the Portland Press Herald reports.

Said Trump: “I hate to tell you this, but we’re not going to give them any federal money. They’re still saying they want men to play in women’s sports, and I cannot believe they’re doing that.”

Continued thread

While some #Republicans harbor doubts about #TulsiGabbard, *she won over* the party members on the committee who were wavering [they were intimidated by #Trump], including Sen #SusanCollins, who had voted against #PeteHegseth to serve as #defense sec. Sen #ToddYoung of IN had also asked tough questions in the confirmation hearing but announced his support for her in a social media post before the vote.

RE
#Hegseth approved a school article....because there was "no duress"

I can see why #SusanCollins voted NO

That's not how #humannature is supposed to work AND especially not for a #secdef
She said to #Maddow "I am already getting blowback"

Blowback, I wonder if that's Trump's codename

Susan Collins is the #Maine senior senator a member of the Republican Party, she held her seat since 1997 and is Maine's longest serving member of Congress

@cosmic_spinnerette

I want to insert my take on 2 examples.

In #Maine we had #LisaSavage, a teacher & union negotiator, who ran as an Independent with Green Values: Universal #Healthcare, Unionization, Clean #Water, etc. against #MaxLinn, #SaraGideon (The Dems Candidate) & #SusanCollins. She was, I believe, in 1 or 2 debates. But there was literally suppression of coverage, like not allowing her into the debates as well as pollsters not mentioning her when they were doing a poll on the race.
