Do you know how hard it is to have one of the highest staff turnovers on Capitol Hill? Trust us, it’s quite an indictment of Mary Peltola.
Watch @HolmesJosh, @ComfortablySmug, @MichaelDuncan and @JohnAshbrook review another story about another democrat member of Congress who is a complete tyrant to their staff. New pod is up now, link in replies.

Hidden in a recent survey are the crazy stats of democrats who prefer a military coup to Donald Trump. This from the people who claim to value democracy above all else.

If a fake doctor in Michigan was running as a Republican, I’m sure it would garner the same limited attention that this story about El-Sayed is… right?
Watch @HolmesJosh, @ComfortablySmug, @MichaelDuncan and @JohnAshbrook dig into this totally bonkers story and the lifelines that El-Sayed refuses to take when asked about it. Full pod is streaming now on YouTube!

“Honestly, we’re in a fundamentally unserious time in American politics and that provides great opportunity for fundamentally unserious people but she’s no dummy. AOC is somebody who is incredibly politically savvy and she understands what political daylight looks like when she sees it.”

REMARKABLY CONSISTENT: "He’s remarkably consistent, which I actually give him great credit, and he’s aware of the politics. He knows we’re in a window of the midterms and people’s overall view of this conflict in Iran, and yet he’s got a remarkably consistent message about having as much leverage as he can possibly have for a deal." @HolmesJosh

I know a little something about this case because I was an @FEC Commissioner when we investigated Navatek and its leadership for criminal-level campaign-finance violations. This slanted story reeks of self-serving lies from a convicted felon.
At no time did the FEC have any evidence that 1820 PAC or Senator Collins' campaign knew or did anything wrong. We dismissed or took no action on every potential violation against the PAC, and pursued significant civil penalties against the company. Those are the facts. Any suggestion otherwise is hackery.
The seven-year-old allegations made against Senator Collins and her staff in this piece are categorically false. There have never been any allegations of wrongdoing by the Collins for Senator campaign, and the campaign was never the target of the FBI investigation.
ProPublica took the word of someone who pled guilty to five counts of money laundering, three counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud, and making false submissions to the FEC. As Martin Kao was awaiting sentencing, he began making outlandish charges about the Collins office, deflecting blame from himself and placing it on Senator Collins, including alleging that our office required contributions before taking meetings and engaged in extortion, pay for play, and bribery. The FBI and the Court obviously did not believe Kao, and in 2025 he was sentenced in two separate cases to prison terms of seven years and three years to be served concurrently, as well as an additional five years of supervised release at the end of his prison term.
It is important to note that during the Biden Administration the FBI and the Department of Justice thoroughly investigated the Navatek matter. The Collins campaign cooperated fully with the FBI throughout the investigation, producing all of the documents it requested and serving as fact witnesses in official settings. In response to the allegations in the ProPublica piece, the FBI clearly stated that a suggestion of wrongdoing by Senator Collins or her staff is “totally false.”
These issues were resolved in 2021, and the FBI has not contacted us about Martin Kao since then.

We’re in the portion of the program where legacy media is aflutter about a bank shot allegation against a Republican Senator but is going to pretend not to see a Dem lawmaker taking a direct paycheck while simultaneously authoring legislation to benefit that employer
🚨More pay-for-play corruption from James Talarico.
After being paid more than $80,000 from a DEI-consulting agency, Talarico led a bill requiring every Texas school to hire a DEI officer.
It would have led to a multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded contract for his company.

Had a blast joining the @RuthlessPodcast. We discussed how I got into politics—from opposing Barack Obama to when I jumped in for Congress.
My dad was in the Navy, and I grew up loving America and appreciating those who serve.
