Reason for behavior:
The media convinced me you were a trans traitor 
I was unaware liberals could play actual games 
I don't know congressional politics 
I only looked at your public statements 
I was jealous of how well you pass 
I was late to me E shot 

I will hereby respect Sarah Mcbride and I will NOT talk down on the future first-ballot Hall of Famer.

It's also possible that the polls just look drunk because the country got kicked in the head and is justifiably very upset.

Ok Andy! This proves that 1. Talarico is a coward for his shitty answer on this. To a much lesser extent so is Hinojosa 2. Amy Acton and Marcy Kaptur just hate trans people. 3. No Democrat anywhere needs to run a single anti trans ad and can just say “trans people deserve civil rights”

There is no "Democratic Party division." There is Ryan Grim, Matt Stoller, and a bunch of apologist dead-enders trying to undermine Jackson for the crime of having decided that Platner was not fit to be the nominee. The Democratic Party is united behind Troy Jackson.

If it were me, I’d want to run because we really *don’t* have a standard bearer for the left for 2028, but I totally get it if she runs for the US Senate. Gives her more experience, more time, more political capital. I do not think she will have “sacrificed her moment” or whatever

Samantha's analysis is even more pointed in this regard. We can't get back what we once had--and honestly, we shouldn't even want it. At one point, Jaeger seems nostalgic for party-run *hospitals.* Imagine that madness. "Nostalgia is a prison of the mind: let us see clearly instead," she writes.

Very, very pleased to have someone running for Senate in Maine who is clearly good on this issue and has no personal baggage or malcontent. It gives me pause that there are people who therefore think dropping Platner was primarily about this issue, especially given Abdul's parallel unimpeded ascent.
After Benjamin Netanyahu, who I believe is a war criminal, just came and went from New York, I’ve been thinking a lot about the world my first granddaughter is about to enter.

No child should have to grow up wondering whether the next bomb is going to hit their home. No parent should have to wonder whether they can feed their kid or keep them alive. And American taxpayer dollars should not be used to keep fueling that suffering.

Susan Collins has voted again and again to send billions in military aid to Israel throughout this war. She’s part of the same broken Washington system that keeps funding these conflicts while working people here get screwed.

When I get to the United States Senate, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop the killing, get humanitarian aid to the people who need it, and stop writing blank checks for endless wars.

I've been clear where I stand since Day One, and Mainers can check my website to see where I stand.
