Sen. Collins says millions in contracts she directed to defense contractor Navatek were a good use of public funds.
But the company's CEO told the FBI he bribed her & that the work was not valuable, as we reported earlier this week:
propublica.org/article/fbi-s…
To defend the contracts, Collins campaign put on a press conference & held up a recent boat designed by the University of Maine.
Collins campaign manager said the boat was important technology.
But the University told local reporters: “This most recent boat has no Navatek connection."

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere:
Wednesday front page of Susan Collins hometown paper Bangor Daily News, an outlet that's historically been extremely friendly to Collins point-of-view.
Gotta figure this is going to wind up in heavy rotation in ads, mailers etc. #MEpolitics

They raped her for hours and not a single one of them was expelled from @Cornell despite the school fully being aware of what took place. Their only punishment was to write an essay. That girl had her life destroyed by these men and this was the “justice” she received. None of them were charged or convicted.
The Cornell 7:
Matthew Ingalls
Johnathan Newell
Winston Lee
Gillio Lopes
Diego Sarabia
Scott Norris
Scott Kretzschmar
All 7 Chi Phi members are named as defendants in a civil lawsuit alleging they drugged a Cornell student with ketamine and sexually assaulted her for HOURS in 2024. The suit says a message advertising “free p***y” was sent to the frat group chat while she was incapacitated.
And "men" showed up to take him up on his offer.
And Cornell’s response? The lawsuit alleges some were given the opportunity to MITIGATE THEIR CONDUCT BY WRITING ESSAYS.
She left Cornell. 5 of them were ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AT CORNELL.
Remember their names and faces.

He can try to fake it in front of the camera, but every now and then the true essence of trump appears - MISERY. It does give me a little satisfaction knowing that he essentially is miserable. This picture is the essence of their marriage and his presidency. MISERY. I love that he is wallowing in it. I know he feels how much he is despised.

"Mr Sununu, would you have voted for a war powers resolution in the Senate?"
John Sununu: *runs away*
"Would you admit that Trump’s war was a bad decision, or are you just going to do everything that Trump tells you to do?"

Some as young as 5 years old.
Read that again.
They're "hunting" children for fun.

NEW: A bipartisan group of 14 senators urged Donald Trump to disinvite Russian President Vladimir Putin from the G20 summit in Miami this December.
“President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day.” The senators wrote
The senators also noted that Putin, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, and others in the Russian delegation are under U.S. sanctions for participating in conduct deemed to be a threat to national security.

The Trump admin admitted it made a mistake in illegally deporting this man TWICE, but — like it initially did with Kilmar Abrego Garcia — it's defying a court order & refuses to bring him back.
This federal judge is right to hold the admin in contempt. There must be a penalty for flouting the law.
JUST IN: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Stephanie Gallagher) has held the Trump administration in contempt for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders. She's ordering the government to return him.
