Comparative legacy media reactions Biden's poor debate performance: "Rabble, rabble, rabble...." Mitch McConnell's absence and silence:

I mean - it's almost comical if it wasn't so pathological. We are the alternate universe where the unthinkable, unlikely happened.

Carney: "I'm going to take this opportunity to thank President Scheinbaum and the Mexican people for sending 200 firefighters to help us with our fires here. That's what friends do when you have crisis and fires." #cdnpoli

The @nytimes.com needs to stop using language like "Climate Critic" when the more accurate description would be "Climate Gaslighter" or Climate Nihilist".

Now Maine Dems need to go with someone whose message will most align with that of Platner. He won the primary in a blowout. My guess is that it will be Troy Jackson.

Platner's message was right on. Unfortunately, he was the wrong messenger. It's too bad. Collins was beatable.

Maybe Mallory McMorrow should Move to Maine.

Folks, I don't believe that the Democrats will take the Senate. They look likely to only take one state - NC, and could very well fail to take Maine and even lose Michigan.

I'm under the impression Polis believes that this will encourage Trump to free up federal resources when the state catches on fire this summer. I also believe he will be disappointed.

Hopefully this experience has given Kean more compassion for other human beings. But, while I wish him well in his battle against depression, I tend to doubt it and hope he loses in November.

6-3 but your point stands. It should have been 9-0.

Impeachment proceedings are all performative unless Dems can get 60 votes for conviction.

I bet this means more Trump capitulation too.

I like @bennet.senate.gov. I've voted for him multiple times for Senate. I'll be voting for his opponent, Phil Weiser, in the CO primary for governor. I can't forgive his votes to confirm Christ Wright and Doug Burnum - two massive climate deniers and fossil fuel shills, for their cabinet positions.

Coal is not "clean". Fossil fuels are not cheaper than renewables.

Platner is an a-hole. But, the most incendiary remarks - which are disturbing but not necessarily disqualifying, come from a freaking Heritage Foundation operative. And he will vote for policies that protect women and minorities compared to Collins who voted for judges who've eroded their rights.

Robert Twitter Xpat (rnorthro14) @rnorthro14.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

He's not the best and brightest, that's for certain. But Dems need to stop virtue signaling and start winning and that might mean compromising some principles. Because the republicans have known qualms whatsoever.

Ken Paxton. Susan Collins has done nothing to protect women's rights.

Democrats could miraculously pick up Senate seats in IA, TX and AK - not to mention NC; hold GA and still lose the Senate. #Platner #MichiganSenateRace

Platner revelations are disturbing. I believe he's probably sincere about turning a page. (heavy drinking can really f*** with a person, not to mention PTSD). Collins is the luckiest politician alive. Democrats are good at being on the "right side" of an argument; bad at winning.

As someone who used to drink heavily, I recognize the shift that can occur once you leave this pattern. Platner "revelations" are certainly disturbing but not disqualifying. He appears to be sincere about turning a page and I believe him about PTSD and moving on from that phase of life.
