If you’re keeping track at home:
- @SenatorCollins took bribes & steered contracts.
- Her PAC covered it up with fake LLCs & charities.
- FBI was circling & had her dead to rights.
- Trump killed the probe AND FBI anti-corruption office when he took power in 2025.
“You’ve seen me deliver.”
That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. https://t.co/oCahGd4lgY
It is horrifying to watch the daily psychiatric emergency that is Donald Trump and the relative silence that follows. The media must confront this ongoing reality and we the people must demand his removal.

Jake and Logan Paul, who live in Puerto Rico to avoid paying U.S. federal income taxes, just got a U.S. taxpayer funded trip to the Pentagon to LARP for literally no reason.
This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.
Not only is it corrupt, but it’s going to interfere with life-saving scientific research—delaying possible cures for diseases that affect millions of Americans every single year.
The Paramount/Warner Brothers merger seems facially illegal, and the state AG lawsuit challenging it is very strong.
It’s troubling to hear that the states may now settle for behavioral remedies, allowing the deal to go through subject to various promises from the firms. Behavioral remedies routinely fail, and the stakes here are particularly high given that a strong democracy requires open markets for sound journalism and creative expression.
The states were right to step up, and I hope they keep fighting to protect this market, its workers, and the millions of Americans who value a free press and a vibrant film industry.
As we have ALWAYS said: if “National Security” becomes the magic phrase that allows all safeguards to be bypassed by the Executive, then anything the executive really wants will be described as a matter of “National Security”.
@vagabondaydream@googlemaps Same thing with rivers and creeks. There's some magic zoom level where the name will display, but it disappears if you move the map at all or change the zoom level. If I'm super zoomed in on a river go ahead and put the name on there you bums
A Pentagon investigation report indicates that an overwhelming air assault order, severely outdated intelligence, and an overreliance on AI tools like Palantir’s Maven Smart System contributed to the February 28, 2026, U.S. Tomahawk missile strike that hit an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing scores of civilians, predominantly children, per Bloomberg
So just in the past few days we found out:
- Don Jr's wedding was paid for by one of Putin's best friends.
- The Pentagon somehow has accidentally sent pieces of an F-35 fighter jet to Hong Kong
- Canada is basically ending its relationship with us and pivoting to Europe.
- Trump is plotting to demolish The Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it.
If you voted for Trump, you are an idiot. You just are.
He's disordered and desperate. He's rambling false nonsense about how trade works. He's trying to bribe the citizenry. Russia just financed his son's wedding. He is universally reviled and distrusted. Congress was just sent home to avoid yet another humiliation for him. And the WH is releasing UFO info to distract from his failures.
It's another busy news day, and I can still say - with total certainty - that THE biggest story - on all of planet Earth AND the known universe right now, is the same as it was yesterday:
The President of the United States of America is seriously unwell and dangerously unfit, yet he is allowed to continue in office, untethered and unchecked.
It's unbelievable, unfathomable, unearthly, unprecedented, and utterly unacceptable.
Don't fuck it up Democrats. Deliver justice for the people. Put all of these corrupt fuckers in prison and make things right with the world and allies again.
You fuck this up, you're going down too.
That's not a threat; it's a reflection of historical fact.
Imagine, just imagine for a moment, the headlines if a Democratic president drew up plans to demolish a memorial to a slain president because he can’t put his name on it while gas stations were straight up running out of diesel
@MeidasTouch I know I certainly won't be surprised when he either doesn't comply or half-ass complies and then there's some new extension of the deadline. There's NEVER any actual consequences
Here's how many stock trades presidents have made:
Clinton: 0
GW Bush: 0
Obama: 0
Trump's first term: 517
Biden: 0
Trump's second term: 24,000+
Trump is the only President who has traded stocks while sitting in the Oval Office.
He's rigging the system in real time.
Hard to overstate how big a failure DOGE was. The government slashed its workforce without meaningfully shrinking the government’s overall footprint. So taxpayers got a less capable bureaucracy while spending billions paying people not to work. It was mostly performance art.
