These are the people defending Graham Platner. Hope everyone's happy.

Oh no I just remembered that I hate summer

"I had no idea what my tattoo was, that's why I made sure to hide it in my cheater-dating profile" is sure to be a winning message

Might I suggest "the impunity state"? bsky.app/profile/mayb...

I’m sure some people use “Epstein Class” in good faith, to describe unaccountable elites who abuse their position and are protected illegitimately by a corrupt system, but, I gotta say, some people clearly mean “Jews,” and other people are at least reckless about whether it sounds like “Jews.”

Actually, I want them to change this question. Don't ask, who won the 2020 election? Instead ask, who won the 2016 election? Who won the 2024 election? Who won the 2012 election? Then finish with 2020. Make them own the contrast.

Graham Platner, not beating the Nazi accusations.

@jamellebouie.net 's column today is a timely reminder that the US Constitution's meaning was never only set by political elites like SCOTUS. If one survey's US history, the record is replete with non-elite men and women arguing about how the Constitution can include & respect them. 1/

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof

ahahahahaha Trump said he thought Netanyahu shouldn't run again way to go Bibi www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Always pointing out that Elon Musk has deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people mostly in the global south and it is estimated that he will have murdered 14 million people via DOGE alone in the next 5 years.

if a paste-brained bigot came by and said Ted Cruz's wife was ugly and his father helped kill JFK, Cruz would endorse him that isn't a hypothetical, it's a thing that happened

wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.

"[Most stay-at-home moms aren't the tradwives of social media; they're] just exhausted, low-income moms who can’t afford child care. 'The real path to becoming a tradwife,” Jessica Calarco, a sociologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told me, 'is typically through economic precarity.'"

The Gaul of the joke.

If a Democrat had a 67% disapproval rate <among independents>, the only thing you would read or hear about in the national news is “Jimmy Carter” & “failed presidency.” But alas, He is One Special Boy & a Republican.

"I've put a couple kids in the hospital. But!" No, man, let me stop you right there.

What if - and hear me out on this - orange man bad

The important thing to keep in mind today about Maine is that its only vice president (or president) to date, Hannibal Hamlin, was so bored with being VP that he went back home to serve in the Maine militia in 1864.

Trump take winning streak

No Mr. Burns they were saying “BUUUU S A.”

Never Platner

Great essay from @meredithconroy.bsky.social !!! Especially the historical timeline of "feminizing opponents" in US elections and the rain the appeal is effective -- "(a man) who doesn’t perform masculinity “correctly” can feel like a challenge to a worldview they hold dear."

Tax law to the rescue!

he can still win, if Mike Pence has the courage

LOLLLLL

I hope the Spurs win by 40 just to make Trump's night miserable

Sometimes people want to make things more complicated than they are. When that happens, just tell them: it's about cats. www.youtube.com/watch?v=doFc...

New at the Smotus Report: The question is whether Platner’s a good nominee, not a good person -- and a nominee you have to constantly defend and explain is not a good one

DOGE led to thousands of preventable deaths across the world—including children & families most in need. This week, we released a House @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social report documenting the devastating consequences of the Trump Admin's dismantling of USAID. History will remember. Read more here:

Once again, the official platform of today's GOP

The author of last week’s #1 NYT nonfiction bestseller is, I regret to inform you, an idiot

I just received the terribly distressing news that Gordon Wood was hit by a car and killed yesterday. We were together with other Founding era scholars at the 2nd Judicial Circuit conference last week at Lake George, and he was as usual in fine fettle and as always enjoyable to talk to.

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

This is as likely an outcome as any

BREAKING Israeli army says air force has struck targets in west, central Iran. Iran state TV reports explosions heard across country

Personally I don’t believe that being working class involves being an alcoholic who beats your wife and it’s shocking some folks online do think that’s the case

(Anyone know why he calls his account "based"?) You see, Senator, the thing about Christian nationalism and state establishment is that they unavoidably entangle the state in questions of orthodoxy. Once Hegseth decides the armed forces are Christian crusaders, he's going to decide who's Christian.

Okay, so the spin, sorry, report in Israel now is that US is saying Israel doesn’t have to act quickly. Iran won’t be forthcoming in the negotiations and then Israel can attack with the US. This is in Israeli media so take it w. grain of salt.

someones panican

Trump is currently calling and texting every single Israeli reporter on his speed dial (and there are quite a few) to tell them he’s not going to let Netanyahu retaliate. He’s not leaving any room for error here.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

For the record, when this all said and done and finally every last piece of opposition research has dropped (because you can bet your ass that more is coming), "he had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years" was my red line.

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

“I’m accused of being a sexist for my normal political views.” Which views? “Oh, you know the ones”
