Josh Barro on Platner:
“Graham Platner doesn’t work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn’t mean he’s too disabled to work — he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator — but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother’s restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town’s harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father.”
What a resume.
welp, that's enough of this bullshit for one night. to summarize, a lot of you have absolutely allowed politics to strip you of your humanity. oh, and graham platner will never be a senator. good night
Democratic Senators and pundits are treating accusations of battery and intimidation against Platner like it’s innocuous, something to be spun in the post debate spin room.
This is immoral.
Here’s the thing: if Graham Platner really cares about the country and stopping Donald Trump, he’ll drop out. Because this campaign will be entirely about all of his baggage, not about Susan Collins’s crappy record. And a lot of Democrats won’t vote for a guy w/this behavior.
OMG! If this timeline couldn't get any weirder, CBS wants to replace Anderson Cooper with Joe fucking Rogan. 57 years of credibility is about to be torched for podcast ratings. This is what the collapse of real journalism looks like.
Ya'll remember when the US set up a coup operation and kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife, stole a shit ton of oil, and then put the money in an offshore account, or have y'all already forgotten with all the other dystopian shit distractions???
No. We have the right to vote at a certain age. Voter registration is included for many states when we apply for ID, especially after moving there.
My Driver's License is my Voter ID. Leave my privelege alone.
Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.
Happy Birthday to my sis @drcontessamd🎉
Now listen, being a doctor is impressive. Being a veteran is impressive. Being a businesswoman is impressive. Doing all that while raising a family? Chile, that’s a whole different level😂
Wishing you nothing but happiness, success, and God’s favor in this next chapter. Keep walking in your purpose and keep reminding folks what strength, resilience, and excellence look like.
Love you, sis! 💕
John Roberts has turned the Court into a shield for Trump.
Now Articles of Impeachment have been filed against him.
This isn’t just symbolic — it’s an opportunity to hold the most powerful judge in the country accountable.
Tell Congress to support this:

Wow, my last tweet really struck a nerve with the election conspiracy nuts!
1. Yes, California actually does verify your signature when you vote by mail
2. No, showing ID to vote is not “illegal” in CA. In fact, it’s required the first time you vote in a federal election.
For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.
