Senate Democrats

Susan Collins does not support a Republican’s proposed stock trading ban It would apply to buying and selling stocks, and other investments including futures, cryptocurrencies, commodities and corporate bonds.

💰ICYMI: Susan Collins is refusing to support bipartisan legislation that would prevent her and her spouse from trading and selling stocks.

She puts Wall Street and her own bottom line ahead of the people of Maine.

We expanded Medicaid in North Carolina to more than 650,000 working North Carolinians.

Now Republicans in Washington are trying to strip it away.

Roy Cooper expanded Medicaid coverage for more than 650,000 North Carolinians. Michael Whatley called gutting Medicaid for more than 650,000 North Carolinians a “huge win”

The contrast in North Carolina’s Senate race could not be starker.

Meet Republicans’ new Senate candidate in North Carolina, Michael Whatley:

“Roy Cooper announcing that he’s going to run for the North Carolina Senate seat… It’s suggestive of potentially a good environment for Democrats that people like Brian Kemp in Georgia, Sununu in New Hampshire have declined to run for those Senate seats.”

Democrats Prepare to Hit Republicans on Medicaid in Senate Battlegrounds A series of press conferences over the next week will call out Republican incumbents and candidates on their support for Medicaid cuts in the reconciliation bill.

ICYMI: "Senate Democrats are still in the Capitol, but their campaign arm is already gearing up to hit Republicans on the Medicaid cuts the GOP implemented through reconciliation."

Today, on the 60th anniversary of Medicaid being signed into law, Republicans are pushing forward with their toxic plan that will gut the program, rip health care away from millions of Americans, and spike costs for families all to pay for a tax cut for billionaires.

Politicians in DC are running up our debt, ripping away our health care, disrespecting our veterans, cutting help for the poor, and even putting Medicare and Social Security at risk just to give tax breaks to billionaires. That's wrong and I've had enough.

Roy Cooper is a champion for hardworking North Carolinians.

I never wanted to go to Washington. I just wanted to serve people right here in North Carolina where I’ve lived all my life. But DC politicians are hurting working families, ripping away health care, and putting lives at risk.

And I’ve had enough.

Roy Cooper is running on a winning record of delivering for North Carolina:

✅ Took on scammers and big banks
✅ Brought thousands of better-paying jobs to NC
✅ Expanded Medicaid to more than 650k+ working North Carolinians

Roy Cooper has never lost a race. This one won’t be any different.

Republican primary chaos in Georgia:

“This is getting more complicated for Georgia Republicans by the day... The White House, and President Trump, and the NRSC, and every Senate Republican do not have the candidate they want in Georgia.”

Last week, as Alaskans relied on public radio stations for emergency information after a tsunami warning, Dan Sullivan voted to slash public media funding.

Alaskans rely on public media for critical emergency alerts. Dan Sullivan voted to defund it.

Jon Ossoff is right: Georgia Republicans can’t claim to be for working men and women while voting to gut Medicaid and shutter rural hospitals.

Atlanta Journal Constitution: Could Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ spending law hurt GOP candidates in 2026?

“A Public Policy Polling survey of Georgia voters found that 52% oppose the sweeping spending plan, which slashes Medicaid and safety net programs while extending Trump-era tax cuts…. if that polling holds, it could have the biggest impact on Georgia’s U.S. Senate race.”

“Could Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ spending law hurt GOP candidates in 2026?”

Yes.

AP: "Republicans are encountering early headaches in Senate races viewed as pivotal to maintaining the party’s majority in next year’s midterm elections, with recruitment failures, open primaries, infighting and a president who has been sitting on the sidelines."

Yikes!

Anchorage Daily News: Sullivan votes in favor of rescinding federal funding for public media, including 27 Alaska radio stations

Dan Sullivan put politics over Alaskans’ public safety by voting to gut funding for the public media that keeps Alaska’s communities safe and informed.

Semafor: Senate Republican Campaign Chief says Trump’s megabill not polling as well as hoped

Turns out ripping away health care from millions of Americans to pay for a massive tax handout for the ultra-rich isn’t very popular.

The Bulwark: There is also the strong possibility that the rescission package would not have passed the Senate had Collins not pulled an amendment she sponsored that would have significantly reduced the overall cuts.

Susan Collins

Again and again, Susan Collins is more interested in playing politics than actually protecting Mainers.

“I've never seen opposition energy like this before…Thousands of people are coming out to events that I'm hosting a year and a half before the election.”

Georgians are fired up to send Ossoff back to the Senate.

Portland Press Herald: Susan Collins opposes Democratic effort to rein in Trump’s budget rescission power

Susan Collins

📰 Portland Press Herald: "U.S. Sen. Susan Collins passed up an opportunity Thursday to try to rein in President Trump’s ability to rescind federal funding for programs that have been approved by a supermajority of Congress."

I would like one of my Republican colleagues to explain why an American family has to pay $3,000 to ride in an ambulance when we’re handing out million-dollar tax breaks to the wealthiest in the country.

💯

Georgians are fired up to reelect Senator Jon Ossoff.

Jon Ossoff on the GOP’s toxic budget bill kicking millions of Americans off their health care: "It's a political disaster for them in Georgia and it's a disaster for my constituents' health and well-being."

This is what Republicans are trying to defund.
