at this point, I'm starting to wonder if she's just throwing the election.

Breaking News: Gov. Janet Mills of Maine vetoed legislation that would have blocked new data centers in the state until November 2027. It would have been the first state moratorium on data centers as the A.I. industry booms. https://t.co/rLr8EB0nHN

I’m new to this; are all those empty chairs a good sign for her campaign?

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Gov. Janet Mills speaks to a room about her campaign.

“I’m running for the U.S. Senate because Washington is broken. Badly broken.” She says she’s not running to secure a position, but because “I can help fix it.”

Mills speaks about her “confrontation with this president.” Crowd applauds, knows exactly what she’s talking about. Recounts their exchange + “I’ll see you in court” line.

Jared Golden, facing a primary from the left, chose to retire from Congress because he thinks it's too partisan and unproductive. Naturally, in his last act, he's the deciding vote to ENSURE Congress can do nothing to stop Trump's war.

I think this is one of the most important + least understood things happening at the intersection of culture and the economy.

I’ve said it before: I like to bet on sports. Not too much, not too often.

But what @DraftKings and @FanDuel have done is monopolized the market and put a dangerously addictive slot machine in your pocket.

It's almost a source of strange comfort that, in this specifically awful moment, the orgs that survive on grift are in fact just grifting away.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

I need you to stop scrolling for a moment & meet @daveyseligman.

This guy is BOTH spearheading the legal case against Big Tech AND he’s running in the Dem primary for Attorney General, where he’d be able to do even more.

THIS is what we need from politics right now👇

[Kevin Simowitz @ksimowitz]

the whole "he has to vote that way because his district is hard" thing was always just a weak excuse to justify this sort of gross behavior.

I know the old reddit posts are more fun but Janet Mills is team filibuster and that seems worth more people knowing about: https://t.co/D4OBjiYsB8

@owenslindsay1 what did maine do to deserve this?!

[David Seligman @daveyseligman]

Thanks @berniesanders and @aoc for the opportunity to speak today about how corporations and billionaires rig our economy and our democracy for their own profits and power. #copol

[Kevin Simowitz @ksimowitz]

daily mantra: I will not allow myself to be surprised when the grifters grift, I will not allow myself to be surprised when the grifters grift, I will not...

[Kevin Simowitz @ksimowitz]

A lot of the people writing about "making meaning" from this moment are the same ones who will financially benefit from four years of "resistance" and "fighting authoritarianism" without the necessity to win anything, to pass policy, and without any accountability to a base.

“Rents have reached all-time highs in the U.S., with half of renters spending 30% or more of their income on rent and one- quarter spending more than 50%.”

Maybe this has something to do with many Americans not feeling great about the economy?

This is a great piece and I will happily supply mean quotes about those consultants for a follow-up.

[Andrew Perez @andrewperezdc]

ICYMI: Democratic consultants are raking in big money trying to block a Maine ballot measure that would buy out the state's electric utilities, which this year threatened to shut off power to 10 percent of state households. https://t.co/NgJFB4SpjT

[Kevin Simowitz @ksimowitz]

And we're going to win.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: National rent control is closer than you think.

A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments.

But Greystar, Blackstone, & AvalonBay are spending millions to block it.
