Police are investigating a letter sent to the Maine home of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), which threatened to contain the highly toxic chemical ricin, according to a Tuesday CBS News report.
The letter was reportedly received by Collins’ husband, since she was in Washington, D.C. Their home has been tested and declared safe.
Collins released a statement after the possible attack.

Two weeks ago, packages were identified at the Pentagon suspected to contain ricin. They were addressed to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the Navy’s top officer, Adm. John Richardson.
While Collins is definitely full of shit, I don’t think sending her castor derivatives is the answer.
Since the USA is now a 3rd world nation, expect political assassinations as a routine, targeting congress and administration fascists.
I’m sure Susan appreciates that the people in government that are there to protect her and hear her complaints were so responsive.
Good chance GOP did it - right up their alley.
Looking at the pic, I can only come with 1 word for that expression:
DUH
Other than that, it is proof that 1 vote counts and can make a huge difference.
Then you have to live with the consequences.
So Enjoy Susan
