Context: If the 2024 electoral votes were allocated by congressional district in all states, plus 2 statewide, Trump would have won 292 votes & Harris 246, a significantly narrower margin than Trump's 312–226 win under the winner-take-all system used in 48 of 50 states. www.axios.com/2026/06/07/m...

Knicks fans are furious that Trump’s attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. These are just some of the comments on a Knicks post informing fans that they will need to arrive at least two hours before the game because of his attendance.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

"The most trusted and esteemed program in American journalism, the legacy of our loved ones’ hard work and its accompanying sacrifices on the home front, has, in [Scott] Pelley’s words, been murdered," writes Sarah Safer, daughter of Morley Safer, who was a 60 Minutes correspondent for 46 years.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

Exactly what I’ve been saying tonight. Costello is a true progressive Democrat with an excellent resume, well spoken, a life of service, no baggage. Seems like giving him the $$ & support Dems gave Platner would give Mainers a candidate to be proud of.

So you missed that the press already had the sexting story and they just called GM to confirm it? Also she didn't dump ANY oppo that I know of. Certainly not the tattoo or Reddit posts. Please don't engage in smearing Genevieve McDonald. I know the Platner folks want to do it but it's wrong.

Here's Genevieve McDonald's Facebook post giving her account of Morris Katz threatening to launch a smear campaign against her if she didn't send him a recording of her lying to the WSJ.

Platner just came out claiming the whole thing is a lie conjured up by Genevieve McDonald. Keep in mind: he's saying this one day after his wife confirmed the story while claiming McDonald betrayed her by leaking it to the press.

"[Morris] Katz wrote [to Genevieve] McDonald[,] 'If the story goes in its current iteration we’ll communicate...that Genevieve violated the personal trust of Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign.'" www.bangordailynews.com/2026/05/31/p...

On one side of the ledger, Platner has a Nazi tattoo, insults American military heroes, Black Americans, & rape survivors, & sexted to a dozen women on an app that pedophiles use. On the other side, he has absolutely no qualifications to be a United States Senator & knows nothing about policy.
