This from Susan Collins and her lobbyist husband is more corrupt than the typical corruption we see in Washington. Aren't they extremely rich? Why do this?

NEWS: Susan Collins’ husband appears to have worked last year for the lobbyist running her super PAC. Her husband, Tom Daffron, lobbied years ago for Chesapeake Enterprises, and consulted for the firm again in 2025. Chesapeake chair Scott Reed leads Pine Chair Results PAC zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

when we did a Rolling Stone print piece on Musk in the trump admin, @andrewperez.bsky.social crunched the numbers to give readers an idea of what the Gargantuan sum Elon spent on 2024 meant to him. Sure, richest man alive but that number was MASSIVE, wasn’t it? For your average american fam…

What’s really striking is that this amounts to an anti-Trump politician helping pro-Trump billionaires and crypto corporations sanitize their message to elect candidates that the crypto industry believes will benefit their bottom line. 🧵

Congress is prepping a new gift for the crypto industry that could turbocharge Trump's crypto corruption and help "make the Trump family Vanderbilt-level rich." The legislation keeps advancing as the crypto industry keeps buysing seats in Congress zeteo.com/p/trump-cryp...

Yes, Trump Was ‘Very Involved’ in His $1.8 Billion Slush Fund Deal Read here, by @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/trump-invo...

“I’m supposed to work out a settlement with myself.” Watch what President Donald Trump said about his $1.8 billion settlement with the IRS. He claimed the money would go to charities, when it’s more likely to go to Jan. 6 rioters. Subscibe to zeteo.com

Retiring Blue Dog Rep. Jared Golden cast the deciding vote today to kill the Iran war powers resolution he *cosponsored*

Preparations for an imminent new phase of Trump’s Iran war have accelerated, Trump administration sources tell Zeteo. Read ‘Trump’s War Fever Is Back’ – and His Iran War Could Escalate Again Very Soon from @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” Here’s what else Trump has said about gas prices since he launched his Iran war: “They’re not very high.” “I thought the oil prices would go up much more.” “Even if it went to $200, it would have been worth it.” zeteo.com/p/higher-gas...

Top Susan Collins Donor Rakes in Millions From Maine Workers “Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman gave $2 million to Susan Collins’s super PAC. Since 2011, his firm has received an estimated $49 million in fees from Maine’s public employees.” By @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

This video from @fox29philly.bsky.social has loud bangs, shows scene as Trump is rushed out of the White House Correspondents' Dinner

Just as a raw politics level, Janet Mills' veto of the data center moratorium in Maine suggests that she ultimately has no interest in running for office anymore

Shouldn’t Democrats Be Able to Condemn Genocide? Instead of acknowledging Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Dem politicians Mallory McMorrow and Andy Beshear complain about ‘purity tests’ and ‘litmus tests.’ Read @andrewperez.bsky.social & @premthakker.bsky.social's latest now: zeteo.com/p/democrats-...

Democrats should be able to condemn genocide. w/ @premthakker.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/democrats-...

You can call it a "litmus test" but … shouldn’t Democrats be able to condemn genocide? @andrewperez.bsky.social

“One Trump administration official said the following on Wednesday night: “It reminded me of listening to Joe Biden speak.” In Trumplandia, that is perhaps the worst possible thing you could say about anyone, much less the sitting president and leader of the GOP.”

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

The centrist think tank Third Way is trying to cancel Hasan Piker as part of its broader campaign to marginalize the left. The good news is no one has to listen to this stuff. We should take note of the Dems who do. More at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

- @andrewperez.bsky.social and I have a scoop in this morning’s @zeteo.com First Draft: the “gay ayatollah” thing was made up and spread by trump advisers in and outside the government. There is no credible intel on it; it’s a pysop, per trumpy sources in position to know zeteo.com/p/gay-ayatol...

What’s interesting is we absolutely note this in the article. I am relieved to see you remain a lying scold on this website too

Jared Golden, one of the four Dems who opposed the War Powers resolution, previously helped write this op-ed www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

As @andrewperez.bsky.social and I report here, including by quoting an email from the trump White House we got more than a year ago, the supposed last straw for Noem was also (lol) based on obvious lies. Trump signed off. Noem has been telling this story for more than a year, publicly…

Here's a story everyone's missed about DHS's $220 million ad campaign... beyond that the ads all praise Trump. Every single ad buy for the DHS ads has been placed by the Trump campaign's ad buying firm, Strategic Media Services, records show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You must lick the boot but never show your tongue. You must carry out the crimes but evade scrutiny for them. Or maybe she's just not blonde.
