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 🧵

This makes it crystal clear. Trump doesn’t want to save the Kennedy Center. He wants another monument to himself. The place is reportedly facing financial collapse, and somehow the rescue plan involves putting his name on the building. It was never about the arts. Or about saving the place.

Excuse my ignorance, but if Todd Blanche is confirmed, couldn’t he just issue a new memo under a slightly different framework that still gives Trump the slush fund and the immunity he wanted? We can’t trust these people.

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw that! Please call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the #PayToVoteSaveAct

I hope Kansas Dems see this! According to Roger Marshall, gas & grocery prices are more important than troops. What a pathetic human.

Marshall on Iran: "I'm supporting what President Trump is doing...the doctor in me says the benefits of us being there outweigh the risks. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. I don't want boots on the ground, I don't want a forever war, and yet we've got to pay attention to gas and groceries."

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

The National Archives in the UK says it has discovered a vanishingly rare copy of the Declaration of Independence. The document was found by a volunteer reviewing the letters of an 18th-century Royal Navy captain, who had labeled it simply as "another paper."

NBC Exclusive: A White House task force has been gathering thousands of pages of documents from intelligence agencies — with plans to declassify some of them — so Trump can amplify new disinformation about past elections, three people familiar with the effort said.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Wow. This focus group on the MAGA cult. Spoiler: not MAGA anymore. Tori Hurst: "They made me watch a documentary on January 6th, and I didn't even know what happened on January 6th prior... And I looked at him, and I said, 'Scott, did that really happen?' And he was like, 'Where have you been?’”

NEW: The postmaster general told Congress that, under a new proposed rule, the USPS will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration. The admission is evidence that the traditionally nonpartisan USPS is complying with Trump's mail voting attack.

Republicans slashed VA benefits, fired decorated generals, & sent soldiers to their deaths. Now Pentagon leaders are screening soldiers by waist size for UFC tickets because they want troops who “look good on camera.” A defense official’s actual words: “No fatties.” The hypocrisy is astounding.

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"
