A lot of antisemitic, Nazi-related things keep happening to, around, or on the skin of Graham Platner.

Whoa. Didn't see this retirement coming. GOP Rep. Ryan Zinke will not seek reelection. #MT01 has been on the outer edge of the map - currently rated Likely R by Cook - and will probably now shift to Lean R as an open seat. www.kulr8.com/elections/mo...

At least the physical decay matches the moral decay.

Now we’re up to four U.S. troops killed in Trump’s unnecessary war of choice. Don’t let them sweep these deaths under the rug. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Apparent footage of a U.S. F-15 being shot down over Kuwait by ‘friendly fire’. Thankfully subsequent posts indicated that both U.S. Air Force occupants safely ejected. But yeah, Trump’s war is going *great*.

I hope everyone reads this NYT interview with Trump and realizes that he is... A) f***ing clueless B) f***ing delusional and that... C) American troops are going to needlessly die because he is f***ing clueless and delusional. GIFT ARTICLE to read/share. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

The red lights are flashing (Nazi tattoos) and the red flags are waving (amplifying Stew Peters). Maine Democrats, I am on hands and knees begging you to think long and hard about your Senate primary, and to please conduct your due diligence over the next 3 months. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Collins absolutely has a massive trove of Platner dirt ready to go the day after the primary, it's going to be a bloodbath

'Mr. Trump did not scramble back to the White House from Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Palm Beach. Instead, the president capped an extraordinary day of U.S. aggression abroad by attending a glitzy fund-raising dinner at his club.' www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

There are some crucial State Legislative primaries in North Carolina on Tuesday. Some will determine GOP leadership. Others will determine whether Dems can truly dismantle the GOP's super majority. @uncrewed.bsky.social has a jaw-droppingly detailed preview: uncrewed.substack.com/p/state-legi...

Donald Trump held a $1M-per-person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last night while U.S. troops were dying in the Middle East. radaronline.com/p/donald-tru...

My idiot Congressman Mike Lawler got dragged yesterday for his fundamental misunderstanding of The War Powers Act. Big thanks to @indivisrockland.bsky.social for compiling the responses so that I didn’t have to. #NY17

I am furious. This is what I feared. 3 U.S. troops are now dead. 5 U.S. troops are wounded. And for what?! Because our addled, draft dodging President Donald Trump felt like going to war. It's time to double and triple down on our efforts to win this year. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Tag team champions Pat Ryan and Ruben Gallego just laid out Randy Fine.

I think the strategic problem for Trump in flooding the zone with sh*t is that...he's flooding the zone with sh*t. Nobody likes sh*t. Nobody wants to be flooded with sh*t. And the collective impact of that chaotic sh*t flood just turns people off, much like it did in his first term in 2018 and 2020.

Lots of Iraq comparisons today, but one big difference between now and then is that in 2002-2003 the GOP at least waged a PR campaign to persuade the American people. Yes, that campaign was replete with lies and fear mongering and propaganda. But Trump has made no attempt to explain, well, anything.

Oh look JD Vance finally outgrew his high chair.

It's looking more and more like Trump decided to bomb Iran simply because he felt like it.

No notes.

So many reactions from elected officials to sift through, but I am most curious about the tone set by those facing reelection in swing seats/states. Jon Ossoff sets the bar here with the right amount of 🔥 🔥.

There will be ostensibly ‘good’ headlines for Trump in the immediate aftermath. We’ve already gotten one with the death of Khameni. But don’t be fooled. What will matter politically is what comes after. Think ‘Mission Accomplished’. They have no real plan. They will f*ck this up. It’s in their DNA.

We’re all adults here. That means we can hold seemingly contradictory thoughts in our heads at the same time. For example, I think Trump should be removed from office for launching an illegal war that risks American blood and treasure…AND I also think it’s good that Khameni is dead.

OUT: No war for oil. IN: No war for election conspiracy theories spread by addled men with fragile egos.

If the first question most Americans ask upon learning that their country has gone to war is ‘Why?’, you’re starting from a very weak place, politically.

If you voted for Trump, this is on you. If you voted third party, this is on you. If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you. Your reasons are irrelevant.

Donald Trump’s Bored of Peace… www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

I’m so glad we have a sober, serious-minded Secretary of Defense at a time of OH WAIT.

Welp.

War with Iran. That should lighten the mood.

We’re gonna deliberately walk right into a Black Mirror episode, aren’t we? www.axios.com/2026/02/27/p...

This morning Jasmine Crockett denied that The Atlantic reporter was thrown out of her campaign event. Today the reporter posted proof of her removal, just as she reported it. Either Crockett is not telling the truth or she is being lied to by her campaign. Both options are inexplicable.

👀🫖 George Santos spills more tea on his former House Republican colleagues. Here he is outright accusing #WI01 GOP Rep. Bryan Steil of being a 'creep' who sent the sexual texts to Cassidy Hutchinson which were reported about over a year ago.

Fascinating development here. Is Crockett seeing soft Dem base votes and needs Kamala's help? Is Kamala, who hinted she's running in 2028 this week, shoring up her own support with the base? FWIW, I do believe that Kamala also just genuinely loves Crockett. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/27/k...

Quick reminder that there are *10* State Supreme Court general elections taking place over the next 3 months. Not primaries. General elections. There is a lot happening before we even close to November. ballotpedia.org/State_judici...

Just saw two people on a popular progressive podcast essentially dismiss the issue of Graham Platner's Nazi tattoos and claim that he actually handled the issue well (!). I am begging Maine Dems to think long and hard about what $500M in Nazi tattoo ads will look like in September and October.

There have been a lot of rumors swirling around GOP Rep. Neal Dunn, his health, whether he might resign, and what the impact on the GOP House Majority might be. Now Mike Johnson is telling GOP donors that Dunn may have received a 'terminal diagnosis'. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/s...

If Talarico overperforms expectations, I think we’ll be able to point to Taylor Rehmet’s win as the canary in the coal mine. Remember: Texans can choose whichever primary ballot they want. We can’t underestimate the potential of Rs and Is selecting D ballots, perhaps just to vote for Talarico.

In what is no small feat, Howard Lutnick just leapfrogged over Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Lori Chavez DeRemer as the scandal-plagued Trump Cabinet official most likely to face some sort of consequence. www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

I mean as far as midterm messaging goes, demanding that Donald Trump and Republicans send every American a $1,700 refund check - amidst an affordability crisis and after being illegally taxed last year - sounds pretty effective to me. #WeWantOurMoneyBack www.axios.com/2026/02/27/t...

👀

I was told that inflation was 'fixed', that affordability was a 'hoax', and that we were living in the 'golden age'.

Do I have any Illinois followers? Haven't paid much attention to the Senate Dem primary there, because at the end of the day it's a safe blue seat. Among the contenders, who is considered to be the more progressive candidate? Or are they all essentially a wash?
