His self-destructive and insatiable need to be in the news no matter how demented and dumb he sounds is pathological.

This is wild: the GOP executive of NY's Onondaga County (Syracuse) wanted to veto a bill passed by the Democratic county legislature. But he mistakenly sent over a signed version first, and the legislature says that's legally binding. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

We were promised 24–48 hours. Then a few weeks. Then a few months. We've had "bridge day" and "power plant day" multiple times. Every day it's "Iran wants a deal." Every day it's "the war is almost over." At some point, enough.

🎯And here’s the most important issue of the truth.🎯

This may be the closest Senate race in the nation and nobody in the lower 48 is paying attention. It's basically a tossup and may well decide the balance of power in the Senate. You don't have to be an Alaskan to understand its importance! No donation is too small or too large.

WATCH — Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social on being detained: “The arrogance in the eyes of those settlers… the arrogance of those IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding… the arrogance of power, and no accountability. Total impunity.” (From @mintpressnews.bsky.social )

As the Mid-Terms draw closer, expect to see a HUGE uptick in the number of people trying to discourage voting by spreading "both parties are the same" or "voting doesn't change anything" type messages. They know that the only way for the GOP to survive is for most Americans to fail to vote.

Historical context is a mental luxury some people just can't afford.

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

I think the "insiders are replacing Platner" attack is dumb, but if Maine Democrats are worried about it, the 4D chess move would be to try to convene a special legislative session to change the law for filling vacancies to require a NEW, SPECIAL primary, knowing full well Republicans will block it.

hate to praise Massie, but this is funny

if scott jennings is saying he talked to mcconnell than that guy is dead dead. can’t trust a word out of jennings’s mouth.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.

yeah with a ouija board

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

Maine’s Dem nominee for governor, Hannah Pingree, says Platner should drop out. Also posts: “Platner tapped into something real — voters hungry for change showed up with real passion and energy. That energy doesn't have to go away. It needs a new candidate to carry it forward.”

ELIZABETH WARREN calls on Platner to drop out: “There can be no tolerance for sexual assault… With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.”

Just a few weeks ago, the @wsj.com published a piece on the Democratic strategist who recruited and vetted Graham Platner, Dan Moraff. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... An excerpt:

We are about to see whether Graham Platner will do what's good for Maine and the country by dropping out and giving Maine Democrats time to put on the ballot someone who can beat Susan Collins.

For everyone saying, “ Dems need to be better at vetting their candidates” What do you think? “vetting” means? Candidates are elected by voters, not by the party. 1/2

Suggestion for how to handle the Platner swap fairly: - Local party quickly consult every Dem candidate for Sen/Gov in the state - Pick the top 3-5 most viable of the ones that say yes (e.g. Shah?), run an EMERGENCY firehouse primary from those

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Senate leaders say they won't spend money on critical Maine campaign unless Graham Platner quits.

To everyone blaming Democrats for not forcing Platner to drop out months ago (which he should have): YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. We can't force him to drop out, but also be mad at the establishment for meddling in primaries. WHICH DO YOU WANT? Meddling or no meddling?

Two things can be true: - Those of us who have been carrying water for Platner in the name of "DEFEAT COLLINS NO MATTER WHAT" need to eat crow at once. - "Vote blue no matter who" still applies, and we need to rally aggressively behind the replacement AT ONCE.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

Pattern of bad conduct plus contemporaneous confirmatory evidence —> He's done, and should be.

Jfc can we just get on the damn "HOT SWAP PLATNER NOW" train without killing each other online?

Today, we're rescinding our endorsement of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and calling on him to immediately withdraw from the race. See the full statement below.
