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 🧵

Dexter Filkins' long anticipated piece on Jared Kushner has dropped. The conflicts of interest are jaw dropping. Kushner took $2.2 bn from the Saudis. His conduct since shows he is a very effective advocate of their interests. Of course we know about the Iran War, which Crown Prince Bone Saw wanted

Jared Kushner represents the kind of Washington figure for whom public office serves as a means to extraordinary wealth.

I still haven't gotten over the way fascism creates a moral inversion across broad swaths of public life where what was evil 5 years ago is now at least potentially good while what was agreed on as good is all but assumed to be evil.

If a vast swathe of sensible pundits are **directly at odds with public polling** on everything from climate disaster to genocide to fascist thugs burning hotels, it seems likely that tens of thousands of fake accounts telling them they love those things has had an effect, and purposefully so.

Yes. And by the way MAGA, did you know that the word "illegal" is an adjective, not a noun? So it actually cannot have an S added to the end, to be used as a slur? I know grammar is hard. It's the reason the rest of us can see what you are by just that one word. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

We should have learned from Brexit; if you treat the propaganda and troll networks as a speech issue rather than a coercive and realtime security threat then the manipulation of the population will never end. Running factchecks isn’t enough; halting propaganda mills needs action.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Assessing the absence of civility in political rhetoric in America, the Economist finds it isn't a "both sides" sort of thing. Uncivil language, as well as calls for acts of physical violence against other Americans, is very much the province of MAGA, and much of it traces straight to Donald J Trump

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

Trump has now paid energy companies almost $4 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind projects that would lower our costs. This benefits no one except for Trump's Big Oil buddies. Our energy costs will continue to soar while they laugh all the way to the bank.

#ResistanceRoots Margaret “Mardy” Murie was born on this day in 1902 in Seattle. Known as the Grandmother of the Conservation Movement, she dedicated her life to protecting America’s wilderness, playing a key role in passing landmark environmental laws and establishing protected areas in Alaska. /1
Mardy Murie at her home near the Grand Tetons, 1953. Murie’s journey to becoming a conservation icon began in the gold rush settlements of frontier Alaska. Her path was shaped by a childhood on the edge of the wilderness and a chance meeting with a young field biologist. By trading a comfortable life with running water for a tent on the tundra, she transformed into a formidable naturalist and a leading voice for conservation legislation. Her legacy is physically stamped onto the U.S. map: millions of acres of protected wilderness that remain untamed because she chose to speak up for them.

This is as close as DOJ comes to addressing Jack Posobiec's 8646 as a comparator to Comey's 8647. Which is remarkable bc they're claiming Comey's fictional character who used stochastic terrorism proves his malice, ignore Poso's real stochastic terrorism. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Given that and other context, none of Comey’s comparators are similarly situated.
Indeed, many of the comparators’ posts do not and did not concern the sitting President after
a string of assassination attempts.
