@katz_morris Hey Morris how long do you guys think Jenny Racicot’s story will stay quiet?

Any idea why she cut off contact with him after he showed up late to her house drunk one night after she asked him not to?

Thank you to everyone who checked in on me. It was a hot day, and I needed a moment to cool down. I’m feeling fine and am grateful to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for looking out for me, and to all of you for your kind messages and concern.

My apologies to everyone at today’s Miami-Dade Corrections groundbreaking for having to leave early. Please take care of yourselves and stay hydrated in this heat!

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

She’s back to giving her speech now, but @MayorDaniella had a brief moment of light headedness during a Corrections groundbreaking.

NEW: Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean says Graham Platner "has disqualified himself" from Maine Senate race.

"It's so distressing -- All of the stories that are coming out, and there are more and more, it seems, by the hour."

I asked the Lincoln Reflecting Pool crews what they’re going to do when the job is done next week.

Each one replied individually, “GO FISHING.”

RIP

[Brit Hume @brithume]

She trusted the New York Times with her account of her abuse at the hands of Graham Platner. She paid the price.

[Debbie Wasserman Schultz @DWStweets]

Sending support, strength & my warmest get well wishes to @JerryDemings & his family. As a cancer survivor, I know how tough this news is.

As long as I’ve known Jerry, he’s been a fighter. With my friend @ValDemings by his side, he’s in good hands. I wish him a speedy, full recovery.

Rest in Peace Giles 🙏🏻😢

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

Platner is getting the Swalwell treatment for a reason.

The call is coming from inside the house.

The lobbyist-owned octogenarian DEM establishment is trying to strangle the upstart progressives / liberals.

We’ll see if the lobbyists or the voters run their party.
