Maine (WABI) - "Senator #SusanCollins announced Wednesday that the University of Maine’s funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been restored.

"On Monday the University received notice that funding from the USDA was paused.

"According to UMS, the notice stated the pause was temporary while the USDA evaluated potential follow-up actions related to prospective Title VI (6) or Title IX (9) violations.

"Collins released at statement saying:

'This USDA funding is critically important not only to the University of Maine, but to our farmers and loggers, as well as to the many people who work in #Maine’s #agriculture, #aquaculture, and #forestry industries. Now that funding has been restored, the work that the University does in partnership with the many people and communities who depend on these programs can continue.'"

@DemocracyMattersALot #lisamurkowski and #susancollins vote against trump all the time. Why? Because they were elected in states that have open primaries and #rankedchoicevoting. They are immune to the threat of well funded primary challenges from MAGA candidates because MAGA candidates would never win an open primary and ranked choice voting benefits candidates with broad appeal. They are free to speak up for the people they actually represent.

Or is it because Susan Collins is resisting?

“President Donald Trump is threatening to cut federal funding to Maine because transgender athletes are allowed to compete in girls’ sports,” the Portland Press Herald reports.

Said Trump: “I hate to tell you this, but we’re not going to give them any federal money. They’re still saying they want men to play in women’s sports, and I cannot believe they’re doing that.”
