Pay-to-play. Follow the money! NORM EISEN: “This is shocking. ProPublica: Susan Collins told the company ‘You’ve seen me deliver.’ Then a six-figure sum, according to ProPublica, also moved to the Collins super PAC... This has to be investigated, these are very serious allegations of corruption."

Karen Bass’s LAPD is openly defying a judge’s order to hand over moonlighting records, and it's obvious why. They are desperately hiding a shadow workforce where cops moonlight for ICE contractors, creating blatant conflicts of interest. It's time to enforce the subpoena and demand accountability.

Corrupt Susan Collins saved by a Kash Patel and Pam Bondi cover up. bsky.app/profile/prop...
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 🧵
