OK, the Maine senate race is going to be between a rapey kind of man and a woman who promotes rapey kinds of men to a lifetime position of breathtaking power on the Supreme Court. There is no voting without holding one's nose in this race.

the White House's UFC arena is all lit up tonight

Now that Platner has won the primary, I want to be clear. When I said “vote blue no matter who” in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I meant it. I’m worried about Platner, but if you say “vote blue no matter who” in Maine, I hope you’ll extend the same courtesy to other Dems. I hope we beat Collins.

Major news in the California governor race: – Gavin Newsom officially endorses Xavier Becerra – Tom Steyer concedes and throws his support behind Becerra: "It would be a travesty for Steve Hilton to win the governorship, and Californians must unite behind Xavier Becerra to ensure he does not."

The number of Democratic and women veterans running for federal office this year is at record levels as the overall number of congressional candidates with military backgrounds is up 47% from 2024.

Congratulations to Xavier Becerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor, and I look forward to standing with him as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.
