Stars are phoenixes, rising from their own ashes — Carl Sagan

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

If you think I’m trashing MAGA (whatever that is now) I really am sorry. I know for certain there are millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump that love this country and love their neighbors and love their families and struggle and succeed and fail just like me and you and everyone. And I don’t begrudge them their political affiliation in any way. I just abhor the hate. The meanness for the sake of being mean. No matter where it’s coming from. I’m not your enemy man. I’m really not. They’re trying to get us to fight among ourselves while they pick our pockets and piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining. I’m not doing that to you and I sure as hell know you’re not doing that to me. What could we possibly gain by hating each other as they walk off with all the food on the table. We can disagree with each other without hating each other. We just all need to break the algorithm man. It’s so much more fun finding a reason to love someone than it is finding a reason to hate them.

You are unfamiliar with Collins’ game if you think Platner being up 4 in an internal poll means he’s in good shape lol

[JJ in NH @JustJoshinNH]

You know, it’s okay to stop defending a terrible person. Matter of fact, it’s not necessary to ever start. Just saying.

[Hutch @hutchinson]

I think it's bad that with every new enormous red flag from this guy, his most vocal defenders dig their heels in that much deeper. It is one to one the same exact kind of behavior we have seen from MAGA a thousand times.

And if he loses to Collins, they will blame libs lol.

[Brian Rosenwald @brianros1]

I’ve made this latter point a lot already. We look like frauds making this ask.

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

I guess all you have to do to get the unwavering support of maga and the far left is be a mediocre white man who uses the right buzzwords.

[Michael Trujillo @mikehtrujillo]

I worked on taking down Eric Swalwell for 4/5 months during his rise here in CA. The cheating, the pics, the lawyers, the gaslighting all feels familiar. At no time was any victim telling me stories of sharpening axes or playing with guns. Voters of Maine, take it from this California Democrat - Platner is a dangerous dude who clearly needs therapy not the keys to the US Senate.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Attacking the woman coming forward about Platner because she’s a republican doesn’t make sense because..so is he lol. You don’t vote for Susan Collins THREE times if you’re a progressive democrat. There’s no evidence to support show he was a progressive democrat before last year.

[Nova @Kwester1112]

The worst part is all the drip drip now means when the real oppo drops after he’s the nominee none of the idiots who endorsed him&stood by him can claim they had no idea. He’s bad for all democrats. Particularly Texas where it sure would be nice to be able to contrast character.

[Nova @Kwester1112]

Lying used to disqualify from public office for good reason. You cannot know anything about a liar except you can’t trust him. Watching Dems fall for “policy” of a liar, after watching GOP vote for building a wall Mexico will pay for. We are doomed.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Ironically, these senators are acting exactly how Susan Collins acts about trump.

“No comment”
“I haven’t heard”
“I haven’t seen”

They’ve become what they are supposedly trying to defeat

[Mack's Cats @maxkatz515]

So Platner had a long term relationship with a woman who worked at the Heritage Foundation?

[Sir Rottweiler 🐾 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @SireRottweiler]

High key, it feels like the DNC is in a domestically abusive relationship with the DSA, where they constantly belittle and berate us, and then they try to gaslight us into believing they’re on our side.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

‘Blue No Matter Who’ is for normal candidates who you may not have voted for in the primary and may not be particularly fond of, but are still perfectly fine; not unfathomably flawed candidates with Nazi tattoos and claims of domestic violence. The fuck are you talking about??

[Morgan ❤️💜💛🐝 @kilday_morgan]

If Graham Platner is permanently disabled because of his PTSD should he really be a senator?
If he can't work at a kinkos can he work in the US senate?

[Mike Piellucci @mikelikessports]

Seeing a lot of people surprised/shocked/upset the Stars didn’t stay in Dallas, and lemme tell you, that was over the minute the city backed the Mavs in the arena dispute. They were never, ever staying after that.

[Longtime Black Man Here @groove_sdc]

Remember Bernie is a TERRIBLE judge of character.

Brie Brie. Tulsi. Nina Turner. Fetterman.

Now this dude.

[David Costello @Costello4Senate]

LET’S DEBATE!!! Maine’s US Senate race is not settled and appears to be tightening. Maine’s primary election is next week and there’s still time. The cancelling of the 5 prior debates cut short important policy discussions and shortchanged ME voters. So, LET’s DEBATE #MEpolitics

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Been thinking about this. It's not about hoops, but it is about a hooper.

Give Wemby and his marketing team major credit.

For three or four years now he's been saying yes. Access. Interviews. Riding the subway. Playing chess. Living with monks. Voiced geopolitical takes. Stunt-y or not, doesn't matter.

I think reporters have been starved of actual access from NBA stars for a long time. From LeBron to Jokic, you only got the few crumbs that the player and his sneaker brand and his agency wanted you to have. Then, journalists (and talkshow hosts) would have to make a meal out of crumbs. (Crumbs that often came with strings attached.)

Wemby's kind've bucked that trend. So now that he's got the biggest stage of his career, those same access-starved reporters (who also, fwiw, tend to align with his politics and disposition) have got stories, angles, and the "superhero" they've craved to cover.

Whether Wemby's genuinely that guy or just plays one really well, I don't know. But from a media and marketing standpoint, he and his team ran their long play about as well as we've seen it run in a long time.

Salute.

The same man who referred to United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson as a “social murderer” supports a billionaire who made his fortune from a hedge fund that invested in privatized nursing homes, private prisons, and coal-mining operations.
