Susan Collins says she has no regrets over Kavanaugh vote despite Roe reversal
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) was confronted by reporters on Tuesday about her role in confirming Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at the height of controversy over his allegations of sexual misconduct, with the hindsight of his role in overturning abortion rights for millions of women around the country — and she was unrepentant.The reason, she explained, is that she also voted to confirm a number of justices who opposed that opinion."This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade," asked a reporter from News Center Maine. "I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?""I do not regret that vote," said Collins. "I do disagree with Justice Kavanaugh's vote. I would point out that in that decision, several Supreme Court justices whom I supported voted the other way. That includes Justice Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Jackson. So I have supported a great number of Supreme Court justices.""When I look at a justice, I look at their qualifications, their integrity, their background, their experience in reaching a decision," she added. "Obviously I'm disappointed in that decision, which turned abortion issues back to the states. It has not had an impact on the state of Maine, in that Maine actually expanded its law."Collins is facing a closely-watched re-election battle, with Democrats having nominated oyster farmer and harbormaster Graham Platner, who is touring the state on a progressive platform while facing questions about his drama-filled past.

Secret Service furious at Kash Patel for rushing to announce arrests in UFC plot
Secret Service officials were angry after FBI Director Kash Patel blindsided them and publicly announced details of a sealed, ongoing investigation into an alleged plot to attack a UFC fight event at the White House.Patel's announcement Tuesday morning potentially compromised roughly 10 arrests that had not yet been made, according to three people familiar with the matter, and his social media post disrupted plans by Secret Service and FBI officials to unseal the case later that afternoon and issue a joint public statement, reported NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian."We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," one administration official said, speaking anonymously to discuss sensitive matters.The investigation began last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area to report that their family member was discussing a vague plot in Washington. A Secret Service advanced threat interdiction team, working with the FBI, obtained a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread that revealed plans for the drone attack. One suspect was arrested June 13, and the case was immediately sealed to allow investigators to identify and arrest additional suspects.Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn publicly rebuked the premature disclosure at a news conference Tuesday without naming Patel directly. "Don't choke on your own smoke," Quinn said, invoking a phrase learned early in his career. "The Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it."Quinn declined to discuss further details, noting the case remained sealed and active.The Secret Service has since dramatically expanded security around the weekend event and issued alerts to law enforcement partners to watch for drones in downtown Washington.
