This is why we’re on day four of a coordinated full court press by Dem leaders to dogpile an Afro-Palestinian Italian journalist who apologized unconditionally for misspeaking — because Hakeem Jeffries got caught with his pants down to his ankles twice in the past two weeks.
Maine’s Senate race is an interesting study of the feudal dynamics of northern Maine.
Susan Collins comes from a wealthy elite family of timber barons while Troy represents the working-class woods workers who have been exploited for generations by these same families.

A group of former John Fetterman staffers forms Twitter account saying that the WSJ story was only “the tip of the iceberg” documenting Fetterman’s behavior.
They’re teasing more information will come out against Fetterman on September 14.
The new WSJ report on John Fetterman is absolutely brutal:
- Canceled on 3 paralyzed veterans who traveled to DC to discuss their care, then showed up less than an hour later for a Fox News interview
- Reportedly refused meetings with constituents and lawmakers, including Pennsylvanians seeking help on Medicaid, homelessness and flood relief
- Asked why he had to meet with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, then reportedly said they “just want free trips to DC”
- Skipped 11 of 12 full committee hearings during one stretch
- Later had aides help ensure he was marked “present” at hearings even when he reportedly stayed for a minute or less
- Backed out of a funeral for 3 slain police officers after learning it would last three hours, responding: “3 hours??”
- Stopped regularly attending caucus meetings
- Told Israel’s ambassador he would write an op-ed based on points the ambassador sent over. Embassy staff later sent drafted talking points, but Fetterman’s own staff withheld them over concerns about potential Foreign Agents Registration Act issues
- Former staffers say he increasingly prioritized conservative media appearances and Israel advocacy over basic Senate work
And yes, there are texts…
My gosh. Fetterman pretended to be sick to avoid meeting three paralyzed veterans from rural PA…and then went to do a Fox interview on Israel.
He agreed to meet a lawmaker who drove from PA to talk about homeless and working people…and then bailed & met pro-Israel Bruce Pearl.
I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am.
I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools.
I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.
I asked Lindsay Clancy’s attorney if he wants a new juror or a mistrial. He responded “i don’t want a mistrial. Why would I want a mistrial? I’m beating the shit out of their case.”
New Deal Liberals: “We quadrupled workers’ earnings, quintupled farm and small business income, brought electricity to tens of millions who never had it before, and built visible public works in every community in America.”
Today’s Liberals: “We passed a bill authorizing the government to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on climate change mitigation! (We have nothing to show for this money—hell, a lot of it wasn’t even spent—but still, you should give us credit for passing a bill.)”
@mattyglesias@BharatRamamurti I am trying to be as generous as possible but when I made this precise point during the Biden years you were very annoyed with me
Accountability for the wealthiest people on Earth is hard to come by.
Thank you for believing in the power of independent journalism to accomplish it.
(And, yes, more to come.)

MAGA pollster @Peoples_Pundit tells @Timodc that Michigan is a lock for El-Sayed: "'Socialism' doesn't scare people in the state of Michigan the way that Republicans think it does."
Just plain disrespectful to Michigan voters who deserve an opportunity to hear from their candidates.
Just another reminder of why he’s corrupt and cowardly.
