Susan Collins: "I continue to believe that a compromise is possible because this is a problem"

Sen. Susan Collins

Verified account

@SenatorCollins

I talked to a waitress in Bangor this morning whose husband works for TSA. They literally had to get a loan to pay their mortgage for this month. That's just wrong. I continue to believe that a compromise is possible because this is a problem that we have to solve.

YOUR boss' and @SenateGOP's fault. McConnell could end this anytime he wants. It's already passed the House.

The House bill that previously passed the Senate was already a compromise with the GOP.

If Collins wants to end the shutdown she needs to have words with Mitch McConnell.

really and truly "concerned"? She must not be if she hasn't told McConnell to remove his lips from Drumpf's ass long enough to stop this shit, which he could do in a New York minute.

Eyeroll times infinity.
