🚨HERO: On April 22, 2018, James Shaw Jr. walked into a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, expecting nothing more than breakfast. Minutes later, gunfire erupted inside the restaurant. Four people had already been killed, and the gunman was still holding an AR-15-style rifle. Most people ran. Shaw made a split-second decision. Unarmed, he charged the shooter, grabbed the rifle by its burning-hot barrel with his bare hands, and fought until he wrested the weapon away. His hands were severely burned, but he did not let go. The gunman fled. Shaw’s actions almost certainly prevented further loss of life. The country called him a hero. Shaw refused the title. He said he was simply trying to survive and protect the people around him. Instead of seeking attention, he launched a fundraiser that raised more than $200,000 for the victims’ families. He continued speaking about healing and supporting communities affected by violence. The headlines have long since faded. Many no longer remember the name. But courage like James Shaw Jr.’s should never be forgotten.

Watch.
#MEPol: "Susan Collins voted to cover up the Epstein Files ... Turns out that Jeffrey Epstein's business partner funneled $3M to her Super PAC. Susan Collins took the money and protected child predators." WinSenate is up with a new #MESen ad.

Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen." nytimes.com/2026/09/24/us/po…

We're really deep into the banana republic zone here, Trump has hundreds of billions of dollars in superpac money to spend but he's still stealing your tax dollars to run extra campaign ads.
So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews

RFK Jr. took $4 million in book advances and $270,000 in gifts from close allies working to advance his MAHA agenda. His wife received $210,000 in consulting fees from a MAHA group. Ethics experts are troubled. w/ @By_CJewett nytimes.com/2026/09/23/us/po…

Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost, the prosecutor said. Story incoming.

Collins to Kao: You’ve seen me deliver. Kao: $500,000 in contributions for $32 MILLION contract to start. PAC: Cashes $150k check Collins called Kao to thank him personally. This is the corruption that keeps DC running on a day-to-day basis. Drain the fucking swamp.

So a Trumpist lawyer, Stefan Passantino filed a defamation suit, claiming that a tweet saying he coached a witness—Cassidy Hutchinson!—to lie harmed his professional reputation. A federal judge not only dismisses the case, but concludes that “Ms. Hutchinson's statements indicate that Mr. Passantino repeatedly prompted Ms. Hutchinson to lie.” Whoops. So much for Passantino’s reputation. storage.courtlistener.com/re…
In 2023, atty Stefan Passantino sued @AWeissmann_ for defamation for posting that Passantino had “coached” Cassidy Hutchinson “to lie.” Resounding victory for Weissmann yesterday on pleadings: “The transcript, far from contradicting Mr Weissman’s statement, supports it.”

The claim "At no time did the FEC have any evidence that 1820 PAC or Senator Collins' campaign knew or did anything wrong" is not true. The FEC's lawyers recommended that the Commissioners find that 1820 PAC violated the law. From the Second General Counsel's report:
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.

Collins dead to rights on donations for contracts wow.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

Wilber came to this country legally. He has no criminal record. An ICE agent shot him anyway. He slept on a prison cell floor with a bullet still lodged in his back. He can’t move the left side of his body. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s lawlessness.
Update on Wilber: He is being held at Pearsall for interrogation and still has the bullet lodged in his body. He’s received no pain medication and had to sleep on the floor.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
