Action 102 NO to Ed Martin
Background: Trump has nominated, and the Senate has confirmed, the worst cabinet in American history. We are DONE with Susan Collins’ approval of these clowns. Another one may come up for confirmation: Acting Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin.
Per The Contrarian this morning: “ProPublica and other outlets have documented his atrocious record. He has attempted to intimidate and investigate Democratic officials (before he was forced to back off), Georgetown Law School, and assorted Trump opponents. He ignored a grotesque conflict of interest regarding Jan. 6 insurrectionists. He appeared on Putin’s propaganda network RT over 150 times, went after medical journals and Wikipedia, praised Nazi sympathizer Timothy Hale-Cusanelli; and racked up multiple disciplinary complaints. Any one of these would have been sufficient to sink a nomination under any other president. Martin will either get rejected—or vulnerable senators up for reelection (looking at you, Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine) will be forced to take another ridiculous vote.”
The more you study what Trump is doing, the more you realize it’s exactly what Putin would want him to do. Whether it is intentional or not, the end result is the same: Trump and his enablers INCLUDING SENATOR COLLINS are destroying the nation and it will take generations to repair the damage.

Action:
This is a simple action – call Susan Collins’ office. She voted to confirm 20 of 21 Trump appointees – (disapproving only Hegseth)! The people she voted to confirm have proven to be incompetent or worse – downright traitors who violate their oath of office every single day. We will do everything in our power to remove her from office if she votes to approve Ed Martin, should he come up for a confirmation vote*. Democrats are trying to block that vote and she should join them.
If you get a chance, phone to thank Senator King for voting against 13 of Trump’s nominees.
Of course he should have voted against all of them, and we urge him to do so in the future.
