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 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

Stop calling this a DC makeover. This is an illegal desecration of our capital and a huge waste of American families’ money. DC is sacred ground, and we shouldn’t minimize the real damage being done.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.

When you start riding you realise that 1. Bikes are great and riding is fun and you want to do it more. 2. Cars suck and are ruining everything you want to do. When you experience someone cheerfully risking your life to get a few metres in front, it changes your perspective.

Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

With 10 year gerrymanders there was a decent chance by the end of the decade demographic and coalition change opened up possibilities for massive changes in seats (see 2018), but if districts are drawn every 2 years there will never really be a chance to change control ever again

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.
