I doubt you could convince me at this point that Donald Trump isn’t intentionally destroying the US, both inside and out. Cause he is.

I’m so tired of these rich, narcissistic, arrogant, entitled jerks from great inherited wealth polluting our politics while claiming they understand the struggles of working people and care about them. It’s about their ego and desire to manipulate, not about us.

Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Daniel Moraff from her campaign over sexual misconduct complaints that Lee received about Moraff. Moraff is being ridiculed for not properly vetting Platner, but our investigation shows Moraff was hiding his own sexual misconduct issues

Whoever Maine Dems choose to run now, it should be someone who can harness the youth energy and the desire for change that propelled Platner over Mills. Shenna Bellows and Troy Jackson are the clear candidates. Bellows has got the relative youth and fight needed.

this is Shenna Bellows, Maine's Secretary of State, and she's braver than you

If you're trying to learn about the candidates to replace Platner as the Dem Senate nominee in Maine, I interviewed @shennabellows.bsky.social last summer. She ran neck to neck with Susan Collins in a recent flash poll: joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

A legendary pull by @kfile.bsky.social: a 2014 photo of future New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani with a Shenna Bellows for Senate laptop sticker. Shenna Bellows, the incumbent Secretary of State of Maine, is one of the major candidates who could replace Graham Platner on the ballot this fall.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is officially running for Senate

James Talarico: "What we're requesting is every internal memo, email, document, and text message concerning the Hoffman case. If there's nothing to hide, Ken Paxton should feel comfortable releasing this information."

Graham Platner dropping out of race to spend more time cheating on his family.

I'm in. The people of Maine have been building something real – a movement that deserves to go all the way to November. I've spent my entire career taking on tough fights for working people, and I'm not stopping now. I'm running for US Senate, and together we are going to defeat Susan Collins.

I’m so excited to launch my campaign for US Senate because flipping the Senate in November is crucial. I’m running to pass Medicare for all, fight for workers’ rights, and protect our neighbors. Join me in this journey at Bellowsformaine.com

So many people LACK empathy and get mad if you have it.

Cartoonists Are The Only Real Journalists Left In The USA.

Platner playing games and waiting until the Monday deadline to file the paperwork to withdraw is totally unacceptable. No reason he couldn’t file it today or tomorrow. He has shown in every conceivable way what a piece of garbage he is. Can’t even get out with any decency.

i think this basically nails it. Platner & his team had no idea how to actually campaign in a general [and were running outof cash *in june* as a result] - because they only ever knew how to shit on other dems

anyone using “rape-lite” to describe the home invasion rape platner committed is without a doubt also a rapist

According to DSA’s leader, Bernie, it’s Planned Parenthood because ew…women. And KDH, for being a “corporate Dem,” even tho she wanted to ban price gouging & tax everyone making over $100M/yr at 25% (while Bernie only wanted to tax billionaires at 5%, while he endorsed a white male billionaire) 🥴

Feels notable that Platner was presented as the archetypal “FIGHT!” guy and his campaign was run by “Fight Agency” and now at the critical moment, the only thing they’re fighting for is their own cash flow and reputation. When the chips are down, they simply don’t care about actually fighting Trump

Americans have no idea what communism is. Freedom Fuel is a company being aided by the US Government to take over fuel supply and provide all the money to Donald Trump and his billionaire donors. This is called fascism.

A live look at Platner HQ:

I just want to thank all the men defending Platner for pointing out who we shouldn’t leave our drinks alone with. We see you. You’re not special. Every woman has encountered you. We appreciate the heads up.

The President of the United States is a Russian asset, and has been for decades. Leading up to the 2016 election I lost friends over this. Some people thought I was nuts for saying it.

It really is vital for journalists to learn what did Rebecca Katz, Morris Katz, and Dan Moraff know and when did they know it? And frankly, this applies to people like Bernie as well.

Morris Katz before he was a political consultant despite not voting in the 2020 & 2024 Presidential elections. It’s in a Politico profile. You can google yourself.

I’m thinking Morris Katz has probably lost a client.

He’s got to withdraw. And Morris and Rebecca Katz need to be persona non grata after a fuckup of this magnitude.

Morris Katz by Thursday:

with your help, i believe we can send morris katz to the unemployment line

Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan need to be absolutely run out of the Democratic Party on a rail.

They remind me of that woman on the panel after 2016 election who laughed about voting for donald because she thought it would be funny...

Dan Moraff is the consultant responsible for recruiting Platner. Moraff also has had allegations of sexual assault from multiple women in Pittsburgh. Leanne Fan is engaged to marry Dan Moraff and also works as a political consultant.

The pod bros, Tim Miller, David Hogg, Annie Wu, Jack Cocchiarella, Ryan Grim, Rebecca & Morris Katz, Danielle Moraff & Leanne Fan, Amanda Litman, etc OWN THIS Platner MESS. Fuck everyone who tried to gaslight us about this loser. We fucking tried to warn ppl.

Instead of crying about Mills staffers or former Platner staffers that his campaign tried to threaten into silence, y’all need to blacklist Daniel Moraff & Leanne Fan. If you won’t do it with either Katz & that trash firm, do it re them minimally after that giggling shitshow with the WSJ last month.

‘I had coffee with McConnell HALF AN HOUR AGO!’

The voters keep voting for “centrist” Dems. I’d love to know how you define a “centrist Dem” since Kamala had a more progressive and liberal voting record than Bernie when she was a senator. Is centrist a vibe or based on facts?

Listing terms, like a fucking hostage taker.

A stronger "HR lady" element in Dem politics would've nuked Platner sooner but instead a bunch of credulous & insecure dolts with podcasts & substacks just had to let their masculinity issues give Dems a candidate who imploded less than a month after winning the primary.

We should start aggressively promoting Democratic women candidates.

Alternatively, we could start believing women

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

Listening to @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social and Ambassador Samantha Power discuss the 751,000 people, mostly children, who have died due to DOGE cuts & I just want to tell every leftist who didn’t vote for Harris because “genocide” to go fuck themselves.

But she was okay with DV. @warren.senate.gov fucked this up and needs to own it.

Memo to Graham Platner

Also, I PERSONALLY do not trust so called political experts with excessive vocal fry or who have disordered vocal patterns like RFK.

Can I NOW tell Daniel Morraff, Morris Katz and Leanne Fann "WE TOLD YOU FUCKING SO?!" - They are the "independent consultants" who personally picked Graham Platner to run. youtu.be/adHzmDI4LXw?...

Twitter thinks another bad Platner story is in the pipe, and Platner seems to be acting like it too

I don't think Platner is a plant. he's just your run-of-the-mill misogynistic, racist leftish dudebro.

*Maine Democratic Party calls on Platner to quit the race
