    These R Senators are responsible for all the bad that Trumpepstein has done this term. They have the power to remove him from office and they won’t do it.

      Susan Collins said she would only serve two terms. She is running for her sixth term. She voted for the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War. On Oct. 6, 2018, she cast a deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He later overturned Roe v. Wade

      Mike Rogers cosponsored bills to ban mifepristone, the most common abortion drug in the U.S. He has voted repeatedly against allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

      Rogers introduced the National Pain Care Policy Act, a bill to expand access to prescription opioids but didn’t include penalties for over-prescribing. His bill was praised by Purdue Pharma
