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 🧵

California requires a license to sell raw milk for human consumption. Doing so without a license can lead to fines of up to $10k and jail time of up to a year. But there's a loophole: unlicensed farms can sell raw milk as long as they label it as pet food.
The sale of unapproved milk products without a CDFA license is in violation of the California Food and Agricultural Code, as follows:

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, deliver, or knowingly purchase or receive any milk, cream, product of milk or cream, imitation milk, imitation cream, product resembling a milk product, or any substitute for any milk product which does not conform to the standards which are established by this division (a misdemeanor).

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, or deliver, or to knowingly purchase or receive any impure, polluted, tainted, unclean, unwholesome, stale or unadulterated milk or cream, or any product which is manufactured wholly or in part from such milk or cream

It is unlawful for any person to sell, give away, deliver, or knowingly purchase or receive any milk or any product of milk which has been produced or handled in or by a dairy farm, milk products plant, carrier, store, or depot, that is in an insanitary condition.

But after Brooklyn drank raw milk for six months, it all began to unravel. Vomit that turned bilious yellow, then a tarry blackish-green. Bloodwork that so alarmed ER doctors they called for transport to a pediatric ICU 70 miles away.
