NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

After his testimony, there is no doubt that the rule was changed for one specific person that Kash Patel knows personally and he wants to hire (or already hired) and their circumstance is definitely not "trafficking victim."

Why does Susan Collins refuse to appear at any events with Trump or Vance? Isn’t she proud of her party’s president and VP, whose agenda she has supported completely on every single meaningful vote? Why is Susan hiding from her party leaders?

If they're willing to storm the Capitol by the thousands, chanting for the death of the Vice President of the United States and Speaker of the House, then pour into the Capitol by the thousands attacking cops and defecating everywhere, imagine what sort of Nazi gives them $250M

Thanks once again, Justice Kavanaugh.
Acting under the pretext of immigration enforcement, the Trump administration has sent both Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to terrorize the people of Minneapolis. Masked paramilitaries stalk streets, schools, businesses and other places of public accommodation in search of anyone deemed “illegal,” regardless of whether they’re citizens or legal residents. Using race as part of their criteria — a now-legal tactic, thanks to a recent opinion from Justice Brett Kavanaugh — armed officers go door to door through neighborhoods searching for Latino, Asian and African people to detain.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

To be sure, Trump’s photo of Abrego Garcia’s tattoo is fake. But to be fair, everything the president has said about this case has been a lie. The man is nothing if not consistent.

Just getting to this @nytimes.com article about what a jawdropping bullshit factory, failure and fraud DOGE is. Musk is an historic disgrace, and what they've done is an incredible national scandal. Gift link. READ IT. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress (Gift Article)
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

I think one thing about ramming through cuts and policies that almost immediately start racking up a mortality rate is because it’s so beyond the pale the press still fears of anti-Republican bias accusations if they state it plainly.
