Seems important.
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

as one of the only girls and often the only gay on many of the campaign calls I get on every single day, not sure I agree 100% with peter himbo's detective work here

Exactly what I thought when I saw that clip.
What's absolutely wild about this is that the Dem leaders of both the House and Senate Dems, as well as the head operatives of nearly every Dem committee PAC controlling all of the party's spending on elections are all ... straight dudes. 🤯

Rhode Island’s incumbent governor and mayor of Providence went down in Democratic primaries tonight.
Providence will join New York City, Seattle, and DC as cities that have elected democratic socialist mayors in the past year this November.
