He need to be impeached again. BUT! NOT without first quietly polling the Senate to see if there is support for conviction. Because immpeachment is impotent without conviction. The problem with the first and second times was that the House leaders who pushed them knew there would be no conviction.

Mamdani actually really did poorly in his Mayoral run. therichwilkins.com/2025/11/20/m...

A word that needs a comeback.

I'll take "takes that get you blocked in seconds for $1000, Alex!

THIS! THIS! THISTHISTHISTHIS!! Real allies don't have to tell people they are allies.

Hmmmm . . . "Platner is also the proprietor and president of the Frenchman Bay Oyster Company, where he reported the value of his equipment as $50,000 to $100,000 and disclosed a business loan of between $15,000 and $50,000. But he did not report any income." www.sunjournal.com/2025/11/19/g...

"Why hello fellow gaming people. I will be playing a favorite Groyper game with some other players carefully selected for their diversity in order to show I am down with the smallest voting bloc on the electorate."

Just had a leftist at the Facey place -- who was wailing on and on about AIPAC and Graham Platner's step-brother -- tell me that conflating Zionism amd Judaism is anti-Semitic. Uh, whut? So all those ZionistJews are anti-Semitic because it's part of their identity? How ... what ... why ...?

I wish she wasn't, but yeah, the ingrained misogyny of the average US voter won't allow it.

So apparently not ALL the leftists in Maine are falling in love with Platner. "As a long-time socialist/feminist and historian of labor, I feel deeply torn — attracted in many ways to his progressive determination yet caught up by his . . . total lack of judgment." www.sunjournal.com/2025/11/15/m...

And, of course, zero evidence of any proof of him "working for" those people. He didn't. He just peddled his influence with anyone who would let him.

I just watched an episode of Wild West Chronicles about Stagecoach Mary Field. That woman needs a movie.

Sara Gideon was the speaker of the house, in her 40’s, & had an agenda focused on healthcare access, green energy, & campaign finance reform & lost by over 8. Gov. Mills is easily the strongest option in what’s 1 of the oldest states in the U.S.. Especially w/ Wood now running for Golden’s seat. 🤷‍♂️

All of this. Thank you.

My theory is that they are tossing out her name because she's dead and can't refute it.

"Democrats caved." No "Democrats" didn't cave, it was just seven (plus one independent who is centrist already). They didn't cave, they cared. They cared about the millions in danger of going without food because of a president who is determined to keep those starving from getting fed.

On top of which, they are now in the same class as the GOP who were also using the starving of children as pawns in their game.

I'm waiting for his excuse for not reconvening the House next week and continuing to refuse to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

So, y'all are ok with ensuring SNAP beneficiaries continue to starve and are blaming the entire Democratic Party for the actions of 7 (out of 47) Democrats and one Independent. Gotcha. I see your privilege.

So have the Republicans won ANYWHERE tonight? Think Republicans might be considering that maybe, just possibly, closing down the government right before an election was not a great idea? (Except Mike Johnson. He doesn't know anything about that. Or anything.)

So what are the chances that Mikey's looking at the results tonight and decides to fold? Slim, or none? (This presumes he actually knows about it, of course.)

Prolly a Platner troll from their Good Influence contract.

Is New York City still a thing?

I keep seeing "We have a two party system, and that's the problem." No, we do not have a two party system. If we did, there would only be two people on any ballot. There would be no independents, no Greens. No Libertarians. Just two! Republican and Democrat.

If you're an older Mainer or a single parent, someone with a disability, or someone with a busy schedule, Question 1 would only make it harder for you to cast your vote. That's why I voted no on Question 1 today!

If you're in Maine and eligible to vote, I really hope you are going to the polls to vote NO on Question 1 to protect our early voting (technically absentee voting) rights. And YES on Question 2 to help keep us safe from another possible Lewiston.

Maine Democrats: let's set aside the war over Graham Platner for the next two days to concentrate on the fact that there is an election tomorrow on two important referendum questions. NO on 1 YES on 2 The first is about restricting absentee voting second is about gun access.

A Jewish Maine Veteran has some things to say about Platner. (All three of those descriptors are relevant in this piece) www.bangordailynews.com/2025/10/31/o...

Could someone who understands campaigns better than me explain why a candidate for a state primary has a NATIONAL finance director? I could see it for the general, since it's the Senate, but the primary is and should be a local/state focued race.

If standing up for Maine makes me Trump’s nemesis, then so be it. I’ve never backed down from a bully—and I’m not going to start now.

"Maine needs a senator who will vote for Maine...who sticks to their principles, never forgetting the people that they work for." I agree. I'll always do what’s right for Maine people—just like I’ve always done. Thank you for your support, Adam. www.pressherald.com/2025/10/29/j...

ALL OF THIS

First the political manager, now the campaign manager. Wonder if he signed the NDA. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Platner's parents are reportedly Democratic/Progressive activists who are big donors to progressives (especially Bernie). Surely THEY would have known and told him? It's so hard to beleive that every single person in his life for the last 18 years was ignorant of what that tattoo was.

How is it that Janet Mills, Governor of Maine, former AG, former Maine House member, and Senate contender, only has 511 followers? She can beat Susan Collins in 2026! Let's help her do that!

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand the Maine Senate (and governor) race. Maine Public's "Maine Calling" show today discussed the senate races and Mills and platner and even address the age issue. Well worth a listen. www.mainepublic.org/show/maine-c...

Yes she is.

Jokes about rape and racism are not jokes, Graham. That you are calling them "joke comments" say a fuckload more about you than the simple fact that you said them. Instead of owning up and apologizing, you are dismissing them as unimportant. They are not unimportant.

Remember how all those 2A folks were saying they need unfettered rights to buy all the guns they want because they may have to fight a tyrannical government? Where are they now?

"No one else has found away to get anti-Semitism -- sorry, I mean anti-Zionism *wink-wink* -- into this campaign, so let's give this a shot . . ." I'll make it plain: stay out of Maine politics if you don't actually know anything about Maine. What you think you know is probably wrong.

What really blows my mind here in Maine is that the Left watched a man with zero political experience get elected and proceed to royally fuck up this country. Then they decide the best candidate to beat Collins is an oyster farmer with zero political experience. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Wanna bet the real reason he was let go was that he didn't have a mask on dso he was identifiable?

I beleive it is more important now than ever for EVERYONE to listen to the History That Doesn't Suck podcast by Prof. Greg Jackson (@htdspodcast.bsky.social). It's one of the most comprehensive American history podcasts out there (there is at least one that is even more detailed, I forget the name).

Of COURSE the administration is going to cancel JD's attendance at a 9/11 memorial in order to see the family of a dead podcaster.

And it one tweet, Gavin Newsome torches all the good will he had built up over his press office's Trump trolling. White House? Gone.

Food for thought: Did the person who shot Charlie Kirk see how much the left loves Luigi Mangione and think he'd get the same treatment? Because the celebration of Mangione killing a man is exactly what leads others to think they can get the same kind of hero worship. They're in for a shock.

Well fuck. Now MAGA has their martyr.

So when I wrote this I was not aware that Graham Planters slickly produced announcement video was created by the team that produces Mamdani's videos. So, confirmed: Graham Planter is a DSA AstroTurf op in Maine.
