Only thing I can say about Platner is it's far more believable he didn't know what that tattoo meant than that any of the 1 million times Susan Collins has claimed to be "shocked" or "concerned" about the horrible things she voted for that she's actually shocked or concerned.

Democratic states must play by the rules while republican ones violate their own constitutions in order dismantle democracy.

AIPAC is dropping $2 million for just one week of ads.

I don't take corporate money. So I rely on the people to back this movement.

Bluesky is a neoliberal shithole, they’re over there saying they’d vote for Susan Collins or not vote at all.

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.

USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list who raped kids.

[Caleb Whitehouse🇵🇸🌹 @realCWhitehouse]

I think it’s reassuring that behind closed doors, he isn’t a centrist loser.

[Shocky @illogically7]

Yk at first you do the 6-7 ironically to relate to the kids...then you get addicted to it. Every time someone says those numbers in that order your arms can't help themselves. They just do it. Pope Bob is not immune to this.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Platner won well over 70% of the vote -- similar to Sara Gideon six years ago, but with a substantially *higher* turnout.

The elite pundit class and corporate Dem establishment has absolutely no pulse on current political dynamics. Ignore them. Let's take back Congress.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?

PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.

[Gayest Tone @gayest_tone]

There’s basically two stories about the World Cup right now, it’s either

“US Customs hooks Tajik team up to the BallGrabber 7000 as they exit bus”

or

“59 year old man in Bentonville excitedly invites entire Congolese team to have breakfast with him at Waffle House”

[Mike🇺🇸🇺🇦 @CenTexLib]

FWIW, I think one of the weakest attacks on Platner is that he voted for Collins 2 or 3 times.

Yeah, most of Maine did.

That fact honestly adds credibility to his story when he says, “Susan Collins used to be a moderate, but then she lost her way.”

It makes him *like* Mainers.

[CT Progressive @CTprogressive_]

How do centrists explain Graham Platner (non-incumbent, riddled with negative media coverage, no political experience, running against the Dem sitting governor) having a much better primary performance than multi-term incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham vs nobody opponents?

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Platner’s victory in Maine may be one of the most impressive primary victories in Senate History.

An unknown oyster fisherman with no political experience just crushed the sitting governor and a coordinated bipartisan national smear campaign.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
