This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with. We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors? What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote? Brilliant. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

No one alive has seen a president choose to walk into the teeth of American greed. A THREAD. PLUS: Ask me anything.
1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

Call me crazy but, seven months in, that we're still not reporting, "HOLY SHIT why won't Trump appoint real experts to negotiate with Iran instead of his family and his crypto business partner" is part of why we're here.

Please read this article! This should be front line news for anyone who worries about corruption in our government. Your fears are for real!!!!!
An FBI investigation into Susan Collins' pay-to-play racket was shut down on Trump's orders. Probe: In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) and a top donor, records and emails show. Confession: The donor, an ex-
Please read this article from Propublica!! It's incredible. Absolutely eye opening!!
NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
This should be read by everyone!!!! Our system of allocating tax payer money is so corrupt. Susan Collins belongs in prison as well as Kash and Trump. I am gob smacked at the brazen bs.
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 🧵
OMG! I mean this story is incredible! It's well sourced and incredible. Susan Collins is a grifting nefarious POS who should be in jail. Also Trump and Kash should join her. If tax payers only paid attention to stories like this.
NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.
