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 🧵

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.
New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

"Mr. Vance, who opposed the war from the outset, and is also not fat, and who should be seen as a moderating influence on Trump and thereby not responsible for the current chaos, and who is also very funny and charismatic and probably just dealing with bad acoustics when his jokes don't land..."
Incredibly obvious how JD Vance keeps "leaking" these "sources close to JD Vance say JD Vance was secretly against the Iran war" stories; kind of unbelievable that the Times has now published two pieces like this www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...
This would be incredibly inflationary, especially when you consider that Trump's definition of "adult" begins at 13 years old.
Trump: "Only I can make this promise to you: If the Republicans win the House and Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000"
Any answer other than “who gives a shit, republicans are using a dozen kids playing JV volleyball as a distraction from looting the county and covering for elite pedophiles” is cowardly horseshit

Today I'll be reporting live from the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, for @dmagazine.bsky.social, which applied for press access but never received a response. Consequently, I will have the general admission experience. First step: drive ~30 minutes outside of Dallas to Grand Prairie. 1/

It's official: Christian Castro, the ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in the leg through a door and then lied under oath about what happened, has now been federally charged with making false statements under oath — but nothing more. Still a significant prosecution. www.cnn.com/2026/09/03/p...

🚨NEW from @propublica.org: over "the strongest possible" objection from the Minnesota federal prosecutor in charge of the case, senior Trump officials reportedly rejected civil rights charges against the ICE officer who shot a man and then lied about it. He'll be charged with false statements only.
People saw the short-lived "proto-prestige" TV series "Profit" and called the network to say "You have a morally complicated protagonist, but Tony Soprano hasn't come along to normalize that yet! I better not see any more prestige television in the current year of 1996!"

Why do they have to share a Wikipedia page? It looks awkward like that, they should chop one of them off.
Probably finishing The Shield tonight. I sure hope there's a happy ending where everyone gets what they wants.
I predict the ACLU defending them and Babylon Bee producing a very unfunny article entitled "ACLU Does Right Thing For Once"
I have to confess, this is a banger from the Facebook resistance moms
Ironically, the way mainstream papers lower the bar to give space to middling hacks in the name of ideological diversity is the closest real-world phenomeon to how MAGA imagines DEI works. Does anyone think we’d know the name Mark Thiessen if he were on the center-left competing for that slot?
Trump shared this Marc Thiessen article yesterday lol
