Has our Maine GOP @SenatorCollins said she’s concerned about Trump using taxpayer money to run a fear mongering political ad?

Extraordinary for any American president: Mr. Trump offered to sell weapons to Xi Jinping of China. That was revealed in an interview by David Perdue, the US ambassador. Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan approved by Congress. China aids Iran and Russia.

They’re just stealing your money to pay for this.
NEW: The Trump admin is airing *another* taxpayer-funded political ad, & this time, it's from his 2024 campaign. Trump says in the ad: "We will demolish the deep state, expel the warmongers from our government... We will rout the fake news media..."

This ad is both incredibly illegal and politically asinine. Kudos to everyone involved.
The U.S. Government is up on TV with this spot -- It aired nationally on FOX yesterday during Illinois at #7 Ohio State and also during Fox News Sunday this morning

Will X allow ads for the trailer for my film “Musk,” about the self-proclaimed “free-speech absolutist?”

MAGA and their grifter-in-chief are still pushing the election bribe $5,000 for adults if GOP wins Congress. Recalls Brazilian Amazon governor's race in 1986 when Amazonino Mendes was giving away chainsaws.
🚨 $5,000 TRUMP DIVIDEND 🚨 If Republicans WIN, every American adult gets $5,000. Not a stimulus. Not welfare. A DIVIDEND. This country is finally making money again under Trump. Democrats can’t do this. They only know how to spend, inflate, and lecture. Republicans win. America wins. YOU win. Keep the House. Keep the Senate. Get the check. I voted for this. 🇺🇸🔥

From @HussainYaqub3 below: calling every enrollee who stayed healthy a fraudster is an extraordinary accusation
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

How tariffs could be the first question from a reporter gaggle around @SenatorCollins is truly mindblowing...
Susan Collins just walked out of a committee room to a swarm of reporters, including myself, who began walking alongside her. A corporate media reporter walking directly to her left asked the first question. One might expect any journalist lucky enough to get the first question would ask about the obvious: the corruption scandal Collins is now embroiled in following ProPublica’s groundbreaking reporting about the FBI’s investigation into her quid pro quo dealings with defense contractor Navatek. Instead, the corporate media reporter asked her for her thoughts about U.S. tariffs on Canada. What? If Graham Platner were the senator from Maine at the center of such a corruption scandal, would corporate media ask him about anything else with a long hallway of runway to press on it? For months, they relentlessly asked senators who endorsed him, like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, whether they’d condemn him for his tattoos or posts on Reddit. I watched it happen day after day. Standing on the other side of Collins, directly to her right, I attempted to ask whether she called the Navatek donor after Scott Reed asked for his number so the senator could thank him for his contribution to her super PAC. But before I could do so, she promptly finished up her answer on the Canadian tariff question and darted into a stairwell, where we are not permitted to film. If you’re wondering how corporate media insulates the powerful and well-connected, this is a great example.

As always, @FoxNews and @ClimateDepot love it when @sunrisemvmt @ClimateDefiance et al provide great video, like these protests at AI sessions at @ClimateWeekNYC.
SHAME on NYC Climate Week for inviting AI billionaires to sit on panels and greenwash their climate-destroying, genocide-enabling business model. Young people aren’t having it. All week, we’ve been hounding AI executives. They don’t deserve a moment’s peace.

This administration in a picture. They don’t give a solitary fuck about you, your family, your neighbors or your community.
💰 Trump's state dinner table seats billionaires worth a combined $1.13 trillion. Take a look: tmz.com/2026/09/25/trump-sta…

Running away from Trump with so many GOP candidates in tight races.
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.    This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.     Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.   The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.   I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
Community note
Senator Collins voted to confirm OMB Director Vought, despite Vought’s known support for the President’s efforts to impound Congressionally-approved funds. thehill.com/homenews/senat… thehill.com/homenews/senat…

This is journalism at its most basic level.
Reporters and editors from every major U.S. & U.K. outlet were at the press briefing with Iran's president & foreign minister because we are doing our jobs, including @sgreports @patrickwintour @ahauslohner @DaniellaCheslow @BabakDehghan @wrightr among many others. Stop attacking journalists.

The world has been making meat in the same way for ~12,000 years. The most transformative companies in the history of the world are Anthropic and OpenAI, and both companies now have life sciences divisions. I can’t think of a better project for either company than solving cultivated meat at price parity with conventional meat. That’s the idea I just dropped in the EA Forum, here: tinyurl.com/2vm46d9k

This is quite a finding.
Bad news for longevity via continuous "replacement" of young organs. A transplanted organ takes on the age of the recipient, but not vice versa.

Breaking! Confirming @SenTuberville’s allegations. Just spotted two @Delta pilots in #furry regalia at the Common Ground Fair in Unity Maine!
I know the deranged Democrats don’t like the fact that I called out the insane FURRY CULTURE this week. But the truth is, there is an ALARMING number of these DERANGED people working in our airline industry. Don’t believe me? Just a few months ago, PILOTS were MEOWING and BARKING at each other over the radio at DCA.
Community note
The April 2026 DCA radio incident of pilots meowing and barking was a longstanding aviation joke on the emergency guard frequency 121.5, not evidence of furries. Such noises have been common for years as pranks. nytimes.com/2026/04/16/us/… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_… fearoflanding.com/demystifying/m…

At a press conference this week, Collins’ campaign manager pushed back on that idea. He claimed that a new boat the University of Maine launched just last month used Navatek’s 2019 research. He even held up pictures of the 2019 boat and directly linked it to the new one. Now, the University of Maine is saying his claim isn’t true.
