Our job is to unveil reality, it’s a slow process, believe in the you we believe in. It’s not radical to want to hold evil accountable, it’s not radical to reject corruption. It’s not radical to be angry. It is not radical to call out injustice. It’s is not radical to stand against impunity.

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 🧵

Note, in MI, bc of the Islamophobia and youth skew for AES, the polling won't look like it would in other years (which is how the Dem primary worked out). Glad he's up but don't expect this election to look "normal" for MI.
2 more Senate polls this morning alongside Marist's Iowa.
—Suffolk in Michigan: El-Sayed up 46/40 for Senate, & Benson up 51/34 for gov.
They have a separate poll in just Eaton County (Trump +3) with El-Sayed up 5.
—Texas Southern University: Talarico up 47/46 for Senate, Abbott up 49/45 for gov.

Just in: Marist poll finds Josh Turek (D) leading by 8% against Ashley Hinson (R) in the Senate race.
Turek is up 50% to 42% among registered voters.

Instead of fixing worsening mail service and its ballooning deficit, he dragged them into an illegal, rushed effort to interfere in the midterm elections.
