Simply 🤯 story! In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show. After Donald Trump returned to office, the investigation died. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

Don’t ever let this spineless disgrace of a VP hide from this, ever. He has zero integrity and will attempt to weasel his way into appearing somewhat rational the closer it gets to 2028. He’s a disgrace and unfit to hold the office he occupies.

ICE Goons Tracker @icegoons.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

ICE Shot a DoorDash Driver in the Back in Austin
Rather than getting him medical help, they carted him off to an ICE detention complex—and the bullet is still in his back.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
