There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

Anyone who reads Time's recent interview with Trump would clearly conclude that the biggest story on Earth, this day and every day, is that the President of the United States is seriously unwell and allowed to continue in office - unfit, untethered, and unchecked. Unbelievable.

He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

Private jets account for 16% of FAA operations but contribute just 0.6% of the taxes that fund it. Does that mean we should raise private jet taxes 25-fold to make up the difference? Why, yes, in fact Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Table: Private Air Travel Is a Carbon Bomb

Of the 3 quickest ways to travel from NYC to DC, private jets produce by far the most CO2 emissions per passenger. 

Rail - 5.2 kg per passenger or 14.3 g per passenger/km
Commercial air - 44.38 kg per passenger or 128.62 g per passenger/km
Private air - 538.5 kg per passenger or 1500 g per passenger/km

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

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 🧵

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
