Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) was recognized by her Senate colleagues in June 2026 for casting her 10,000th consecutive roll call vote, a milestone that both Republican and Democratic senators described as a record in American history. Collins stated that she has sought to reflect the work ethic of Mainers by ensuring the state is represented in every Senate vote. In July 2026, following a deadly shooting involving ICE agents in Maine, Collins told reporters that she had spoken three times with Secretary of Homeland Security Malone and had discussed a halt to non-urgent traffic stops until the facts of the incident are known. Collins said she was the author and chief negotiator for expanded body-worn cameras for law enforcement and that she had asked the secretary why those cameras had not yet been deployed in Maine. She stated that a mandate for body cameras would protect both officers and the public. Collins also said she would support a state investigation into the shooting, adding that "you can't have ICE investigating itself." She said she had not heard that ICE agents were being pressured to increase arrests, but said she would be concerned if that were true. Collins added that while ICE needs to improve its performance, calls to abolish the agency ignore its work investigating human trafficking, drug smuggling, financial crimes, and child exploitation.

“It is a complex context for monetary policy because I see upside risks to inflation related to tariffs and downside risks on the labour market side.”

“I would be looking for more confidence that we were back on that disinflation trajectory. Um, you know, of course, unless we are in a more adverse context, not my baseline. Again, there is quite a bit of strength in some of the underlying fundamentals of the economy and policies well positioned to react as appropriate.”

“I certainly am concerned about both sides of our mandate and uh as I mentioned my expectation is slower growth combined with higher inflation and uh we'd be looking at both sides of that. Uh I think that can be complicated challenge for policy because you know with slower growth uh if growth slows dramatically you would want to ease but with higher elevated inflation really important to maintain the restrictive postu”
