Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A political parody turns ProPublica-reported links between defense projects and pro-Collins PAC donations into a mock gift shop and price calculator.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Readers following campaign finance and congressional earmarks
Worth noticing: The mock catalog assigns a $160,000 suggestion to an $8 million boat-hull project, citing ProPublica's reporting.

Field notes

Individual shelf entries pair a satirical product description with a short explanation of the reporting it draws on. The page also offers a plain-English timeline and links to Collins' response and FEC filings, giving readers routes to check the underlying material. The visible extract includes a custom-order form, but cuts off before showing the complete calculator workflow.
