Another bombshell from @propublica.org

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Pam Bondi was Attorney General in Florida from 2011 to 2019. That is when Jeffrey Epstein was still involved in his child sex ring in FLORIDA. Yet she never prosecuted him. Corporate media MUST ask Bondi why she didn't prosecute Epstein?! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/why-didnt-...

deanobeidallah.substack.comWhy didn’t Pam Bondi as Florida AG investigate Jeffrey Epstein?!Everything Bondi does is to protect Trump.

Kristi Noem was hospitalized for an allergic reaction. Guess who identified root cause, pathology, & treatments for allergies? Scientists & physicians with research funding. If MAHA & Trump admin get their way (she’s part of), say bye to innovation, discoveries & scientists who drive them. 1/

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

You are up to date.
