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 🧵

US truckers will begin a general strike on October 1, 2026. This is due to fuel prices being higher than the wages they are making, and relaxing of safety standards. There will be nothing moving by truck in the US. No groceries, no packages, no fuel. Share this so people are forewarned. Stock up.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself. But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

When someone causes damage and claims it is "for your own good," it is most accurately called toxic justification or abusive rationalization. People use this tactic to avoid guilt and control others.

The Pentagon has been quietly paying an X influencer as a federal employee since July — and refuses to say what she does. This came out almost by accident, through the "Data Republican" leak story. It's a taxpayer-funded propaganda operation hiding in plain sight. Full breakdown:
