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 🧵

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

The costs of this war will be passed on to American taxpayers while those who benefit from it - the military industrial complex, the fossil fuel industry, the technology industry, and more - will not face consequences unless we hold them accountable. 3/5

$39,000,000,000,000: That's the current US National Debt. 30% is due to previous wars in the middle east. Another war will add trillions more.

This is happening in the context of the US National debt recently surpassing $39 trillion - the highest it has ever been, and climbing higher every day. This is a bill which will come due soon, and we are not in a position to pay. 2/5

$11,300,000,000: That's the amount of money the Pentagon reported spending on the first week of the war alone. The real cost will most likely be far higher. If the Trump Regime deploys ground troops, the cost of the war could reach into trillions of dollars over the years to come. We cannot afford this.

The cost of the capitalist war in Iran is already approaching $24 billion. That's money that could go to supporting the American people, who are facing an affordability crisis affecting the cost of everything from housing to health care. 1/5

Total cost of the Iran War: $23,831,250,000 estimate as of 11:46 AM CST March a8, 2026

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

It is the misfortune of Minnesota’s ICE contingent to have invaded the state with the second-highest levels of social trust, trailing only Utah. Many activist networks were formed in 2020; we are seeing, Petrus says, Minnesotans call upon the “muscle memory” of the George Floyd protests. In mid-January, a neighborhood organization for a part of town called Whittier put out a call for a meeting to organize a “Neighborhood ICE response”; more than 800 people showed up at the local elementary school and formed a tidy line extending well beyond the door. (“Why a line?” I ask someone later. “Because we are in Minnesota,” he says.) In the cafeteria, in their big coats, adults struggled to get their legs through benches attached to long lunch tables. Because there were too many Minnesotans to fit in a single room, officials and parents and teachers went room to room giving the same speeches about how to help neighbors in hiding. They then gridded out the rooms, dividing the neighborhood into smaller subdivisions. Close neighbors met one another (“Oh, you live on the other side of the museum”) and formed hyperlocal Signal groups. At the first sighting of an agent, someone could ping the group and draw them outside. Their favored tactic was noise. They would make it impossible for ICE to conduct raids in secret.
