📌 The movement didn’t end with Platner’s withdrawal. The focus is still defeating Susan Collins. 📌 Maine Democrats, not Washington insiders, will choose the next nominee through what they say will be an open, transparent, and representative process.

Print it and post it over your computers and laptops, and when you start to ask me "Why do we have to be better when they're terrible and...." Just look up and read, and nod, and delete the post.

Learn it. Live it.

Totally agree. Changing a party leadership requires many election cycles, and every region of the U.S. is different. Some will elect moderate or conservative Dems in their primaries. Blue MAGA needs to quit nagging us in the primary season. Most of us understand our assignment in the general.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

As I told Democrats in Southwest Pennsylvania, real patriotism means fighting for your country and its ideals. Not storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Chief Justice John Roberts once decried partisan gerrymandering as “unjust.” Last week, the high court made a decision that doesn’t just tolerate but encourages the practice, @dgraham.bsky.social argues:

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

The only president stupid enough to do it.

What is the point of the Constitution if this criminal is not impeached and removed? Seriously.

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

That Hesgeth's Department of War continues any attempt to think longterm about the effects of bombing a country, any consideration of how it will respond, and how that response will impact the economy, politics, etc., as "woke" nonsense is actually existing Idiocracy.

U.S. economy, despite inflation, was the envy of the world while Biden was President Recovery from a pandemic was always going to be difficult. It's bonkers that Biden ended up being the scapegoat for that

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends. He cannot be trusted. Congress must rein him in. Call your reps: (202) 224-3121

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein. Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes. She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

Senate Democrats got a deal to keep the government open. Everything will be funded till September except DHS. The DHS will not be funded until new rules on ICE are drawn up. Democrats wants no masks, body cameras, visible IDs, warrants signed by judges. youtu.be/ElsM1HhvX4A?...

Her name is good. May her death from an ICE agent’s bullet not be in vain.

I miss a president who cares for all.

Unlike CBS News, Frontline PBS ran their report recently on stories from some of the migrants sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. Trump & his enablers can’t erase the truth about what happened. Watch the PBS piece. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is open.substack.com/pub/paulwald...

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

NEW: Tell Congress: Support a discharge petition to force a vote on the ACA tax credits

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

To the @nytimes.com , Trump’s dealing with the Saudis doesn’t raise ethics concern, it is outright corruption and he’s been enriching himself and family since his first term. Call him out MFers, what’s the problem? #DV1 #ProudBlue #NoFascists #TrumpCorruption www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/w...

Reporter: If they block ACA subsidies, will you vote against government funding in January? Shaheen: That’s certainly an option

The GOP shutdown is an economic catastrophe that has already cost the US economy up to $14 billion.    Now the Trump administration is refusing to spend money Congress gave to it to fund SNAP food benefits beginning Saturday. Speaker Johnson: End your vacation and reopen the government.

Biden-era hostage outcomes 🇮🇱👇 ≈89 released by Hamas: ≈8 rescued by IDF ≈97 Israelis returned alive — the result of both diplomacy and military action.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

My heart goes out to Charlie Kirk’s family. Political violence is a crisis and a sign of democratic weakness. I condemn it in all forms. We all share responsibility to end it, protect democracy, and promote peace in our nation.

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

From President to Presidunce - a Tale of Two Presidents. On the left, the right-leaning Economist called the US Economy the Envy of the World just 6-7 months ago. Now, it has a revised economic outlook for the US on the right, as Trump has flushed our economy down the toilet:
