@Strandjunker @RonFilipkowski @peggy_gabour Hard yes.

I personally don't trust Graham Platner. I don't think he belongs in the U.S. Senate. His explanation over the Nazi tattoo still doesn't make any damn sense to me, and nothing since then has made me feel better about his sense of judgment for navigating the general election fight against Susan Collins.

But what's far more concerning to me is Trump appointing more SCOTUS justices and federal judges in the next two years. Sen. Collins needs to be replaced with a Democrat to prevent that.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd have Gov. Mills as the nominee instead of Mr. Platner because at this point, I think she'd have a stronger chance against Collins. I base that mostly on the dreadful feeling that there are things we don't yet know. Maybe there aren't. I hope there aren't.

Ultimately, only Mr. Platner really knows the scope of challenges facing him over the next five months. Is there more possibly coming? Even more than what we've already seen? Only he really knows.

But the window is rapidly closing, and very soon, we will be stuck hoping the voters of Maine choose Mr. Platner over Sen. Collins in the general election.

I don't think anything I have to say here is going to matter one way or the other to Mr. Platner, but if he does ever happen to read this, I hope he understands how much is at stake and what he's asking of voters in trusting him over Sen. Collins.

I hope he really understands the gravity of this moment and is considering the consequences for the country that go far, far beyond his own personal life.

But if he does know, deep down, there's a significant chance of his campaign imploding after the primary, he needs to step aside for the greater good.

Not much else to say.

@KillerMike This type of brutality and evil is difficult to comprehend, yet I know it exists all too often. I’m exhausted waiting for those in power, to act. I believe vigilantism will soon become the new frontier of justice. I’ve been raped, so I’m sure that has shaped my thinking.

[Catherine Ely @cmpely]

Appalling that each person standing around this, is acting as if it’s not happening. Status quo for this entire regime (or cult, you choose) and its followers. 🙉🙈🙊 Pathetic. Interesting that foreign powers haven’t played this even more to their advantage.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The President is not well. He can’t stay awake at important White House events and cabinet meetings.

@WhiteHouse needs to come clean about why trump takes so many trips to the hospital and why doctors keep giving trump cognitive tests.

@rickygervais Gorgeous.

@jaketapper What is your deal with President Biden? Trying to understand. You’ve torn him apart and continue to focus on him. It’s bizarre considering your lack of focus on Trump who is far more impaired than Biden was during his presidency.

@DrAliSKhan @thartman2u I’d like to think this was in The Onion news, but alas, it’s the real deal. 🫣🫣🫣

[Catherine Ely @cmpely]

@DrAliSKhan I’ve been waiting for this day to come! 🍝😋🙌

@DrAliSKhan @US_FDA One hack down, so many more to go, before this happens. IMHO.

[Catherine Ely @cmpely]

@KillerMike He’s so awesome on so many levels.

[Catherine Ely @cmpely]

@mcuban I’ve always respected you. Until today. So deeply disappointing.

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.
