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 🧵

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

News: Emile Thompson, the chair of the Public Service Commission regulating electric/gas utilities, is resigning Aug. 14, per multiple sources. He's been under a ton of pressure amid rising bills: and just chaired a lengthy hearing on a major Washington Gas project. Background:
But this has not quieted criticism from advocates, who have long charged the commission is too deferential to the needs of the utility companies. They’re urging the council to block the reappointments of Trabue and Thompson—both of their terms expire later this year. However, many environmental activists would like to see new appointments held until a new mayor and council are elected. (Allen said he’s withholding judgment on that request, for now, but noted he is hearing overwhelming frustration from residents over the commission’s leadership.)

“We need a commission that’s actually going to move forward planning for a managed and clean energy transition in the city,” said Claire Mills, an organizer with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. “And we just feel like the current leaders haven’t shown over the last four years that they’re really willing to take that on.”

In the meantime, Mills would like to see the commission more closely scrutinize Washington Gas’ plans for making the most badly needed pipe repairs first before moving on to full pipe replacements (an issue Beverly also raised in his dissent). The PSC will have several more decisions to make on the next steps of the pipe project over the coming months.

Now @apnews.com has a deeply reported story confirming the recently-hired ICE officer who shot a man in Maine had serious mental health issues and a long history of violence against women. This comes after ICE slashed hiring standards and rushed some into the field before background checks cleared.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.

David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.

Brouillette’s troubling past further challenges how thoroughly the Department of Homeland Security has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration agents since Trump launched the crackdown after retaking office, including 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national who was shot and killed by Brouillette on Monday while in his car near his home in the coastal Maine city of Biddeford.

DHS, which hasn’t released the name of the officer who killed Durán Guerrero, has said the “vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”
