Susan Collins is corrupt, the FBI probably had her, but Trump made the investigation go away?

Collins’ actions show she’s been on board with the corrupt, anti-democracy ideological project since at least 2017—while pretending to be “concerned” about it—but a personal angle too fills in some blanks.
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 🧵

Headline says "clean" water. A little dirty water is one thing. Problem: water is full of lead!

More worrisome:
"A divided federal appeals court ruled...the US Constitution doesn’t provide a right to clean drinking water or accurate information from public officials."

No right to accurate info?

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have become ineligible to vote.

But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters.

You absolutely do not have to meet Republicans or MAGA down middle on any issue, fuck them. Push for what you as an opposition need and don’t give them an inch. Stall the government indefinitely if you have too. Better to freeze the process than allow injustice and fascism room to grow.

This is a comfortable bedtime story that people like David French tell themselves to avoid confronting the actual reality that Trump is as much the logical endpoint of every authoritarian thing that went unpunished under Nixon, Reagan, & GWB, as he is total repudiation of traditional conservatism.
“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”
Opinion | The Right Is Rethinking MAGA. The Left Is Rethinking ‘Woke.’
As primary results trickle in, both parties are wrestling with what they stand for — and where they’re headed.
