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.
“There's no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance, but those who are calling for ICE to be abolished altogether are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does. ICE investigates human trafficking, drug smuggling, international financial crimes, and child exploitation. It is imperative that those effort...”
“I have to start by saying I'm really focused on both parts of our mandate and that does mean the labor market ... but also concerns about the elevated inflation and our commitment to price stability.”
“I do think it's clear it reflects both labor supply growth having slowed pretty notably but also labor demand growth.”
“The shift in that balance of risks that I started being quite focused on over the summer was really a rationale for those cuts — the 50 basis point cuts that we have already done this fall.”
“The longevity of that elevation is a key factor to figure; it's a reminder that economic behavior is not 100% predictable and businesses are mindful that they have raised prices significantly over recent years.”
“My baseline is a relatively benign one: inflation's likely to stay elevated through the rest of this year into early next, and then the disinflation process — perhaps slow and uneven — is likely to kick in.”
“My baseline expectation would be that tariffs have a one-time impact on prices — one time doesn't mean it just happens in a week; that one time can get implemented over months or a year, it just isn't expected to be a continual increase.”
“Tariffs are really intertwined with uncertainty, and that uncertainty is having influence for example in terms of hiring decisions and investment decisions.”
“I'm hearing that there are some ways that AI is really supporting workers and enabling them to do more and be more focused, saving time in back office things — and then others that are telling me it may be enabling them to downsize; it's still early days.”
“Restoring and maintaining price stability and maximum employment creates an environment that's really conducive to addressing our housing challenges and sustaining that environment over time.”
“I do think mildly restrictive policy is very appropriate right now.”
“That makes me hesitant as I look forward to think about what the next policy moves should be.”
“Of course, I don't make decisions before the actual meeting; there's still new data coming in.”
“I think a mildly, moderately mildly restrictive policy is very appropriate right now, because it helps to ensure that as tariffs work their way through the system, we really do see a return to that overall disinflation that we were seeing many months ago.”
“Inflation remains elevated, largely goods, largely tariff associated.”
