Progressive senator Bernie Sanders has called on Graham Platner to withdraw from the US Senate race in Maine, citing “very serious allegations” of sexual assault.

Guess who’s snoozing in Turkey?

As a man, I/We must stand up for all. I so love the power AOC brings and the moral stance she wrought through this indignation, at the hands of a man. Once again a privileged man thinks he can do anything, say anything, to anyone, because he is a man. Have we had enough? #SheShed #SheShedAlly

Oh look. The Trump DOJ can pay out even more money to a Trump lackey, but they can’t comply with a court order and produce unredacted Epstein Files. Remarkable.

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

4th of July was supposed to be a nonpartisan event celebrating America. Parts of it was. Trump taking America250 and pushing it aside, however, was anything but.

With Sanders withdrawing his support, and likely the money from the PAC that comes with it, and the DSCC pulling all funding, I imagine Platner will drop out sometime today. We shall see.

THIS SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE Trump’s DOJ is sending election monitors to Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing for Michigan’s August 4 primary. The real target isn’t just the election. It’s public trust in blue cities.

Trump's DOJ sued 30 states demanding every voter's SSN and license number. The real reason slipped out in court—and it wasn't "election integrity." The regime is now 0 for 11. Here's why: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-went...

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.

So proud of Team USA. 🇺🇸⚽ Thank you for bringing so many people together. Watching neighbors from every corner of Los Angeles gather at Kick It in the Park has been a powerful reminder of what makes our city so special.

Cool move: Trump’s sons team up with banned foreign partners, sneak in fine print exempting the family from taxes, & Treasury just shrugs when asked. Scot-free has a new ring to it now. Corrupt Republicans keep protecting their guy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

New in PN: Trump vs. algae is the feud we deserve "We are living under the personalist dictatorship of a hateful clown obsessed with the news cycle and owning the libs. And unfortunately, since he has the whole federal govt at his back, his ridiculous tantrums can in fact ruin people’s lives."

Good To See…
