@mattyglesias I'm really really hoping that Platner wants to win and will do what is needed and not just take "principled stands"
I'm more worried about El Sayed. He seems more ideological
@mattyglesias The ratio of the size of the author's name on the spine to the size of the book title on same is a good indicator of something to be sure
I wonder how many times people buy multiple copies of books they've already read
@mattyglesias Or she won because she was almost always running with a Republican Senate and often a Republican President so she could argue she could bring home the bacon
If the Dems can swing the Senate (and WH), that argument goes away. She'll be worthless to Maine
@mattyglesias We'll see if the Dems can make the case that Collins' claim that she can bring resources to Maine falls apart if the Reps' lose control of the Senate and even more if they lose the White House in 2028
@_PatrickSimpson My rule change: you can't throw the ball off the opposing player to get possession. You do that and it automatically goes to the other team. And maybe the refs even call it a foul
@mattyglesias It will be understood someday how overrated Matt Mahan is (in contrast to Dan Lurie)
He's not very reformist and has underperformed on issues we care deeply about, like increased housing construction

That should make me mad, but the same media did make Gaetz, Bobert, Greene et al big stars
