Campaigns sometimes talk to backers about writing opeds and even help them edit and write them. Did that happen with this one excusing rape unless there was a violent stranger committing sexual assault? The Platner campaign should say whether they were involved. #mepolitics

I couldn’t do this without you.

The stench of Trump Will cling to Republicans Forever

Girl.

JD Vance, please to come to Maine oblast and take Platner over finish line.

I think they don’t actually care if he’s changed. That’s the bottom line. They don’t think any of it is disqualifying, and they don’t care if he’s apologized, or changed, or whatever. They just want us to stop talking about it.

I have no reason to believe the "rape is fine" op-ed is Republican plant if somehow it was, we still have this week, this

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

I want to live in a country where a grandmother doesn’t have to be a “DoorDash” delivery person in order to pay for her husband’s cancer treatments.

Some of you stan politicians too much (and shocker, me a journalist who is Jewish would be critical of a tattoo that is associated with Nazis.)

absolutely stunning 🔥

Maine senate race has implications for the entire world. This is why we don’t want a hothead untested inexperienced jack ass as the nominee. Democracy itself is n the line and you want to toss the dice on a rape apologist Nazi enthusiast. LePage was yr problem. Planter is our problem .

Like @bookersquared.bsky.social said, we can give Tío Xavier Becerra some flash. We need you to give him some cash! #BecerraForGovernor #XavierBecerra2026 www.xavierbecerra2026.com

This nighttime manic behavior is called "sundowning" and its very common in cases of advanced dementia.

Is this Porter’s new social media attack? Bots? That Becerra is a Scientologist? Do they all look alike to you?

Few things in this world are so gross as the people making excuses for Graham Platner and arguing he's fit for elective office. Your argument is proving something... about you

So…CPAC was funded by the Hungarian government this whole time?

Objectively one of the worst people to write about this because she’s leaving out how she and other white women let a lot of these assholes slide because their first targets were Black women She called Milo charming dinner convo She can go to hell

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

this op-ed is the craziest thing I've seen anyone put down in print under their own name..... www.pressherald.com/2026/04/13/j...

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm Dr. Donald Trump from the Red Cross, and I'm here to help.

More accurate headline: LGBTQ+ rights advocates and historic preservationists force the Trump administration to back down.

There are no voters in the USA that are more informed than BLACK women. There’s no one even close. Listen to Black Women.

I’ll take “Things Sean Harper’s mother & Graham Platner have in common” for $500 Alex.

Can we please just launch this idiot into the sun?

A lot of people some of y’all be engaging with don’t even know this.

Rape apologist writes op-ed.

a tattoo of your new girlfriend’s name is a mistake a tattoo of a totenkopf is a profound statement of deeply held beliefs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-Tote...

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Cowards blocking people & disabling interactions because they don’t like people pointing out he’s giddily spoken of war crimes, misrepresents his background & employment, had an SS tattoo, actively slurs people, has a history of bigotry, hasn’t actually apologized for anything, & is unqualified.

I'm voting for Xavier Becerra 💙 #TeamBecerra

The absolute cowards at @indivisible.org have turned off comments and quotes on their post endorsing a Republican Nazi who says women deserve their rapes. Honestly, I feel like Nazis are pretty fucking divisive!

Orbán's loss in Hungary is a significant defeat for Putin, Trump, and for forces of authoritarianism around the world.

Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it. www.ms.now/morning-joe/...

If you know you have personal challenges, deal with them. But don't bring that into a campaign, not in one of the most important elections of our lifetime. Today's episode is an important one: https://youtu.be/uTiw2YHVwVk

GOOD QUESTION. (And not only did he use it, he used it as an adjective for people who still want to talk about his Nazi tattoo)

Fetterman 2.0 continues his streak.

When we fight, we win. Never give up. They’re not invincible. Not even close.

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE SHITTING ON VOTING JUST GOT SHOTTED ON BY A WHOLE DIFFERENT COUNTRY WITH YOUR LAZY ASS. VOTE DAMN IT!

Polls can change fast. Last week Eric Swalwell was the Dem front-runner for Governor of the most populous state in the US. Now he's not. Rep Swalwell's scandals were widely known to the press, just not the public. Maine voters should ask what they might not know about a new, unvetted candidate. 1/

republicans watching the Hungarian election results and realizing even their safe seats aren't safe this fall.

I think a lot of people on the left need to come to grips that this country is conservative as fuck just on race alone. People's support for all kinds of things drops like a rock as soon as they hear minorities will benefit.

Americans quick to shriek that Magyar is a conservative might want to sit this one out and just let Hungarians celebrate tonight. Promise you Hungarians from the LGBTQ community who voted for Magyar know, and have understood opposition politics against autocracy better than you.

I haven't been this enthusiastic about a candidate in a long time! A young supporter created a fact sheet yesterday (and she fact-checked it)! #BecerraForGovernor

Meet CA gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra. -son of Mexican immigrants - BA economics & JD, Stanford -was 1 of 67 congress-members to vote against anti-marriage-equality bill -former CA AG (sued trump admin 100+ times), HHS Sec - vows to bring single-payer to CA www.xavierbecerra2026.com

I’ve known Xavier Becerra for almost 25 years and worked with him in Congress and the Biden administration. He is smart, committed and has the experience and outlook to be an outstanding and effective Governor! I hope the folks in California will take a look!

Hungary should be a lesson to third-party curious Americans. You don't defeat an autocrat by fracturing the opposition. You defeat them by uniting to fight them...completely uniting...it takes everyone pulling in the same direction

#NE4Life 💙💙💙💙💙 🗣You better slow it down...

I am so satisfied with my votes for Xavier Becerra for Attorney General. Let's make him our governor.

This is why voting MATTERS. Vote out the fascists. Make sure your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors etc do the same. Have hard conversations if you need to. Americans can choose NOT to live with fascism. Every election, at every level of government, in every city, county, and state MATTERS.
