I think Collins is party to the destruction of America. She may not have a tattoo, and occasionally talks the talk but will not walk the walk. He would not be my choice to oppose her, but if he is, I would vote for him against her.

I laughed. But more and more people believe this dangerous nonsense. Our ability to prevent and treat disease is under full-scale attack, and millions—tens or hundreds of millions—will die because of it. 🧪 ⚕️

Obviously this is why he lied about his intentions. He said he wasn't going to tear down any part of the White House during construction. And why the Treasury Department has told employees to stop sending pictures of the demolition out to the public.

Why hasn’t there been an injunction already to stop the demolition of a protected historic building? It is designated a National Historic Landmark.
President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom.

East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.
