"Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica."

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 🧵

49 days until midterms…a chance to restore at least some of the legislative “checks and balances” to an out of control and arguably corrupt Executive Branch. Please vote BLUE for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

In the case there are ANY sane Republicans on this board…I can’t believe you subscribe to the current anti-Canada rhetoric, of which most of the nation feels embarrassed by. The GOP majority Congress is silent and evasive. If you are out there, please speak up…

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom. GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.

The meeting was Blanche jumping through the hoop Rs told him to so they could pass him thru his confirmation. IOW, he attended the meeting under duress and not because he thought he was doing the right thing.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

Mainstream media fail. Stick a microphone in front of every GOP Congress person and make them defend Trump! Even a “no comment” is better than letting them “fly beneath the radar.” Do your job.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Tragic Iran has killed so many citizens. Reminder: Based on models tracking the Trump 2025 USAID funding cuts, estimates suggest that between 600,000 and over 760,000 people, including a high percentage of children,

Thoughts from Minnesotan is sadly: - “It can and is happening in America - It’s about national police not immigration. -ICE is about intimidation -GOP Congress and SCOTUS6 deny or make excuses. - “We the People” is the only avenue left.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

a Kavanaugh Breaking and Entering

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Historically Republicans love being heavy handed, love violence and chaos. The current band of Republicans in Congress are no different. It was shit like this that caused the country to turn against the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, Trump will cause more people to likely die before it ends.
