I personally don't trust Graham Platner. I don't think he belongs in the U.S. Senate. His explanation over the Nazi tattoo still doesn't make any damn sense to me, and nothing since then has made me feel better about his sense of judgment for navigating the general election fight against Susan Collins.

But what's far more concerning to me is Trump appointing more SCOTUS justices and federal judges in the next two years. Sen. Collins needs to be replaced with a Democrat to prevent that.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd have Gov. Mills as the nominee instead of Mr. Platner because at this point, I think she'd have a stronger chance against Collins. I base that mostly on the dreadful feeling that there are things we don't yet know. Maybe there aren't. I hope there aren't.

Ultimately, only Mr. Platner really knows the scope of challenges facing him over the next five months. Is there more possibly coming? Even more than what we've already seen? Only he really knows.

But the window is rapidly closing, and very soon, we will be stuck hoping the voters of Maine choose Mr. Platner over Sen. Collins in the general election.

I don't think anything I have to say here is going to matter one way or the other to Mr. Platner, but if he does ever happen to read this, I hope he understands how much is at stake and what he's asking of voters in trusting him over Sen. Collins.

I hope he really understands the gravity of this moment and is considering the consequences for the country that go far, far beyond his own personal life.

But if he does know, deep down, there's a significant chance of his campaign imploding after the primary, he needs to step aside for the greater good.

Not much else to say.

@_AllThatJaz Traumatizing as a child? Yes. Knowing her politics as an adult - kind of suitable.

36 Oklahoma republicans voted AGAINST ending CHILD MARRIAGE. 33 of them voted to stop it but once again the MAJORITY of republicans are FOR that PEDO life! And yall let these people call themselves Christians with a straight face?? Yet they have so much to say about Afghanistan

I know many of you didn't like her but I still don't think Kamala Harris would have threatened to neutralize pro-trans advocacy groups.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

Let me be so clear: if you’re in the “LGB” crowd, fuck all the way off. If you’re not actively fighting for trans folk, you deserve the worst that life has to offer.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The Trump administration has just released their new counterterrorism strategy for 2026.

In it, they demand "identification and neutralization" of political groups whose ideology is "radically pro-transgender."

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Well that’s one of the most compelling answers to that question I’ve ever heard.

[Plazzy Wazzy @Plasma_NYC]

i KNOW that’s not ai slop on @RuPaulsDragRace . be fucking serious rn

[Hype Hair Model @PersnicketyK]

That student loan email just annoyed me. I’ll never forgive you bitches for this.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

@cinemattie Jane and Myki have dominated but a lot of the other placements have been bizarre. I like a lot of the queens this season, but the challenges haven’t shown them off well.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

We all know that you hate Trump and the MAGA movement. What is it going to take for you to display even a hint of the backbone your father had?

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

Yeah, we know you don’t get it. The difference is that one of these people fights for the working class and the other fights against the working class. What’s not clicking, babes?

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

I don’t get it - it’s a flex AOC was a bartender but it’s a negative Markwayne was a plumber?

You are such a hack.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

@cinemattie But I quote Tammie in this untucked specifically almost daily

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

@cinemattie Oh, both are great, but for me, peak RPDR is the two way mirror face crack in All Stars 2. Specifically, Alyssa Edwards glaring at Jaremi.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.

It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

Some of our DOCUMENTED students have stopped coming to school out of fear of ICE. Middle schoolers aren’t criminals.

Look back through history and find me an example of the good guys terrorizing children.

[Congressman Jeff Van Drew @Congressman_JVD]

The Governor of New Jersey just launched a state portal to track ICE agents.

These are federal officers removing violent criminals from our streets, and she is putting a target on their backs.

It’s dangerous and completely backwards.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

That’s MY Governor!

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

ICE is making everyone less safe. 

Today, I’m taking action to protect New Jerseyans.

First, I’m signing an Executive Order to ban ICE from launching actions from any state property.

[John David Whitener @JohnDWhitener]

And your party nominated a convicted felon who’s been credibly accused of rape and pedophilia who, in case you forgot, can’t tell the difference between Greenland and Iceland.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

A political party nominated this person for president. Of the United States.
