I've seen a lot of nomination processes. What @MaineDems have built under extraordinary circumstances is one of the fairest I've seen—no thumb on the scale, Maine voters at the center. A Herculean effort. The stakes aren't just about Maine. This Senate race matters to the country
Today, MDP Chair Charlie Dingman, is announcing the process to fill the Senate nominee vacancy. Maine Democrats have issued a call to hold a nominating convention on July 25, during which 601 delegates will vote on the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

"That comment about diversity is not our strength is just bullshit."
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) says Pete Hegseth’s attack on diversity misses the entire point of military leadership, which is understanding who people are and how they contribute to the team.
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better.
I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.
I can't remember the last time there was such a giant disconnect over a candidate between online (mostly BlueSky) Dems and Democratic voters.
And it's not like Maine voters don't know about the tattoo or other controversies -- Platner gets asked about it all the time. They just listen to and accept his answer instead of unquestionably QTing outlets with a clear ideological agenda.
All I'd say is - try listening to the guy. He sat down for our interview wearing an Anti-Fascist Knitting Club t-shirt, talked about how his first community organizing project was fighting an anti-trans school board takeover, and got emotional discussing the horrors of war. If he's a Nazi, he's really fucking bad at it.
If you don't like his policy positions or don't think he's electable, vote for Mills. I like her too. But if you're gonna accuse him of being a Nazi, at least try to find a single thing he's actually said or a view he's expressed that in any way aligns with far right (or even just right-wing) political views.
Just because CBS kneels to Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us have to.
Pass this along on every one of your social media accounts.
Make sure it is seen far and wide in our country.
@TVietor08@PabloTorre@PodSaveAmerica Great episode. Would be cool to have Pablo on for a recurring sports/politics/culture crossover discussion from time to time.
@SenatorCollins For all the reasons you point out your constituents are depending on you to fully grasp the gravity of this moment and act accordingly.
❄️🐼 Tumbling in a winter wonderland! This morning, about 5 inches of snow blanketed the Washington, D.C., area, including giant panda Bao Li and Qing Bao's outdoor habitats. Flakes stuck to their fur as the bears frolicked and somersaulted. It was 🐾paws-itively the panda *snowment* of our dreams!
. . .
The bear pair will make their public debut at the @Smithsonian on Friday, Jan. 24. Follow #DCPandas for updates. ✏️LEARN MORE: https://t.co/rh9FL1ALFu.
