@RonBrownstein So the group most likely to vote and consistently watching the news *now* is solidly in Platner's camp, and the group most likely to start paying attention *after* Labor Day, and less likely to vote overall is pro-Collins. I'd *much* rather be Platner.
@JimmyKempski OL having remedial, not just preventive, stem cell therapy is an insane red flag for me. My AI found the late guard Uche Nwaneri as the only OL getting it done in 2013 and he was out of the league in 2014. Jake Elliott is a big red flag too.
@JNavasSF@TimothyDSnyder With respect, you have not read the TPS ruling and its dissents, have you? The Court claimed there was no distinguishable racial animus about Haitians from the Executive, which would have made the action unconstitutional. This is clearly incorrect thru Trump's tweets alone.
@PeterCrowley@emptywheel@PeteHegseth It could have been prevented by *NOT* having Witkoff and Kushner "negotiate" on day 1, when the Brits say Iran offered a better-than-JCPOA deal and expert negotiators, Kushner and Witkoff, said, "No."
@adamparsons As a non-Jewish American it is perversely fascinating to watch Trump and the Republicans end the American century, and the many benefits therein, while Bibi ends Israel's preferred status in America. Good times.
@AngryInAGoodWay@PhilAnthTX@jsscppr So Gideon wasn't nearly as good a campaigner as Platner, in an off-year environment (2026) far worse for Collins/Republicans, with Trump polling at historic lows, before Dems go fully negative on Collins and... Platner is going to lose? Nope.
@thedarkhorsepod Lolol. When belief becomes "facts", reality wears a different cloak (for MAGAts). You have no evidence but fraud must exist because of your fee-fees. We live in a nation of laws; real evidence--not belief-- gets you through the court house door.
@DavidAFrench Atwater in the 1970s and 1980s, the lawlessness of Nixon and Reagan (Watergate/Iran Contra), all bleeding into the Fedsoc cocktail parties Thomas, Goresuch, Roberts, Kavanaugh attended and on to Gingrich. Yet the "Never Trumpers", *Republicans all* till Trump, can't believe it.
@RonBrownstein So if one assumes that Platner >> Gideon on campaigning chops alone, that Collins is not very popular, that the Platner campaign is about to go super-negative and that 2026 is worse than 2020 for all Republicans, this seems unlikely.
@Sophisti88@RonBrownstein@nytimes It's amazing that people don't get the new battle plan. Platner is not perfect. Check! Platner is better than Collins. Check! Freaking moving on. Check!
@BarakRavid So your sources tell you they have no freaking idea when the Iranians will respond and you don't just say: Kushner and Witkoff have no idea when the Iranians will respond nor what they will say. What a gig.
@BarakRavid So, were the two US sources accurate in the last 3 months, or are they the same ones who have lied to you a dozen or so times? If so, why repeat? Please put the Judith Miller steno pad down and work for your readers.
@ScottChwalisze1@ConservativaPol Just watch Philly's celebration. You know, where the Declaration of Independence was written; you know, before DC existed. Dope musical guests.
@BarakRavid@TVietor08 Again, at a minimum, frame your sources--or retweets of others-- in terms of their past accuracy. You have lost so much credibility by parroting--and boosting-- these laughable repeat liars as reliable. They are not.
@BarakRavid At this point can you at least gatekeep your source a bit for your readers? Have they been contributing the lies about Iran negotiations? What has their recent record been? This could help lessen the criticism of you in full-blown Judith Miller mode.
@KarenFactsLover@citrinowicz With the Netanyahu regime how can anyone trust Israel in a treaty, when they repeatedly try to kill the negotiators trying to develop treaties and ceasefires? That is the obvious first question to ask.
