Susan Collins was asked tonight about the FBI pay-to-play probe of her inner circle. Her answer: "false." False? Her donor is in federal prison. His $150,000 went to a super PAC backing her. The inquiry closed after Trump took office. Try again.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

A day after Trump said his super PAC would pay for those propaganda ads that had been funded by taxpayers, White House officials said the group did *not* plan to reimburse the government for the more than $10 million it had already spent on the ads.

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

Trump is declining international election monitors in the United States for first time in over two decades, aligning the country with Russia. Trump will instead deploy his own election monitors to polling sites across the country. www.ms.now/news/trump-m...

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

RFK Jr. thinks that getting measles is no big deal, and points to the low death rate to support this asinine opinion. Besides the fact that these deaths are preventable, he ignores hospitalizations and immune amnesia, which can erase immunity to other pathogens that people have already built up.

This is insane.
In December, Dr. Rachel received a letter from the attorney general's Consumer Protection Division demanding her vaccine purchase records over the past 10 years. "The division believes that you are in possession, custody or control" of material, "involving potential misleading or deceptive acts regarding incentives associated with the administration of childhood vaccines," it said, adding that such acts could be in violation of the state's deceptive trade practices law.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

🤑 I don’t think there’s enough public awareness of RFK Jr’s grift The extreme & very kooky anti-vaxx activist group was paying him $500,000 a year to peddle anti-vaxx BS, there’s the massive fees he got from suing the HPV vaccine maker, the profits from peddling conspiracy theory books, etc., etc.
