Astonishing, heavily-sourced reporting about Mary Peltola, whose aggressive anger and vicious mistreatment of staff go way beyond the typical “bad boss” whispers on Capitol Hill. There is more than a whiff of mental instability here.
SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill.
Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.)

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.

Joe Biden had an essentially covert program to facilitate the ingress of untold millions into the U.S.—most without proper vetting. Many got free plane tickets, health coverage and instant work permits.
Only @BillMelugin_ and @FoxNews were there. The liberal media ignored it.
My phone just pinged me with an “on this day” memory from this day three years ago on 9/20/23.
We were in Eagle Pass, TX and witnessed a mass illegal crossing of more than 4,000 illegal aliens crossing in one single spot in just two hours, leading to CBP having to shut down the nearby international bridges & ports of entry.
@FoxNews was the only network there.
The only resistance offered was Texas military & DPS assets which had placed razor wire at the edge of the river, but the Biden Border Patrol cut through it and in one infamous case, even used heavy machinery to lift it out of the way so the illegal aliens could proceed into the U.S.
A complete free for all that day - and it would get even worse three months later in December 2023 when the illegal crossings reached the highest ever recorded in U.S. history with more than 11,000 in a single day.

Interesting. Sam Forstag went back and deleted the endorsements he sought and received from Democratic Socialists during the primary.
I’ve seen a lot of MSM coverage about R websites pivoting to the general. Will the media also cover this phenomenon for Dems?

Sam Forstag lobbied the State Leg to allow boys in girls sports and men in girls locker rooms. Wrong. Unsafe. Unfair. My daughter shouldn’t lose her spot on the court to a boy or be forced to share a locker room with a man.

Kentucky voters made the right decision to fire this clown.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduces articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over waging war, ignoring laws that minimize civilian casualties, extrajudicial killings and suppressing free speech.

I’m proud of my mom for so many reasons. When I was a kid she worked nights and holidays at the motel to make ends meet. Her work ethic inspired me to get jobs to help out, and I'm grateful for the lessons she taught my brother and me.” "It's people like my mom that I will fight for in Congress every day. Railroaders, waitresses, hair stylists, and skilled laborers who work hard, do the right thing, and take pride in their community. That's what this campaign is about.

Marc Racicot is now a democrat who has only endorsed democrats for a decade so not that unlikely….
Scoop: A Montana Democrat running for Congress in the red state has picked up what at one time would have seemed like an unlikely backer: a former GOP governor who was once chairman of the Republican National Committee.

First they killed our timber mills, then our mines, then our factories - now data centers. Every good-paying, middle-class employment powerhouse has been systematically murdered by globalist and communist lobbying in America sending those jobs, that industry, and all of its economic impact overseas.
Every politician calling for the end of data centers is also calling for the destruction of the future jobs they create and the end of Netflix, X, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, Google, Amazon, and every app you actually use. They all run on data centers.
A data center is almost comically tame as industry goes. No smokestacks. No ore piles. No molten steel. No freight trains of coal. Mostly a very large box containing computers, electrical equipment, cooling systems, and an expensive humming noise. And even this is apparently too industrial for us.
