@SenBillCassidy Get rid of the cap. Make wealthy people pay in at same rate everyone else does. It's that simple. Social Security could be solvent if you'd just grow a spine.

@BrianBlakeCD2 I live in Maine. No one had ever heard of Graham Platner before last year. He has no experience in politics or any track record of community activism. His funding, like Susan Collins', is mostly from out of state. There's nothing organic or local about him.

This should have been America over the Epstein files

@mistergeezy I may vote for Gov. Mills (she’s still on the ballot), leave it blank, or - what the hell - write in my own name.

@Acyn Why didn't Welker push back on Trump's blatant lie that Obama sent a planeload of cash to Iran as part of the nuclear agreement when we all know they were frozen/seized Iranian funds as a result of sanctions?

US didn't spend a dime, just let Iran have their $ back.

@DrakeMT I'm from Maine, fried lobster is a major no-no. And crispy fried cheese curds? That ain't poutine.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

Exactly. There are other Democrats in Maine who are for the working class, who are totally against The Trump agenda, who want to tax billionaires, who want to end the war.

Platner is the only misogynistic dude bro with no experience or qualifications who is running.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

There’s nothing even remotely special about Platner that warrants us putting up with this.

[Christopher Bouzy (spoutible.com/cbouzy) @cbouzy]

The Graham Platner scandal is getting worse by the day. Where are the Democrats who called Biden a liability and demanded he step aside? Where are the viral posts, the urgent op-eds, the public pressure? The silence is deafening.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

He has zero qualifications. He was chosen purely based on aesthetics and was given a script to read. It was essentially a casting call.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@cmack007486 @cmclymer I will not vote for Collins under ANY circumstances, and never have. If Platner is going to be her Democratic challenger in November I have 5 months to learn to hold my nose and keep the bile down before I’m ready to vote for him.

Yes, we must stop Trump.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@ABC Honey badger don't care.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@gayguycandleco I can assure you that not all Maine Democrats are enthusiastic about Platner. I'm not. Only the far left people seem to be behind him still.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@reesetheone1 Hi, I'm a Maine resident and lifelong Democrat. I would never vote for Platner nor for Golden. For different reasons but both are a no-go for me.

Gov. Janet Mills is still on the ballot and I will vote for her.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

It's way past time for Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate primary race.

Gov. Janet Mills is still on the ballot, vote for her next Tuesday.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

I’m tired of hearing about that man in Maine. His supporters will make excuses and spin their wheels until anything related to him makes sense, while principled people like me ask: why the fuck wasn’t he properly vetted? So embarrassing on so many levels.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@mistergeezy We all knew this was going to happen.

The primary hasn' happened yet and Gov. Janet Mills is still on the ballot for next week against Platner. But I don't think the Platner die-hards are going to ever give up. God, the far left can be so annoying.

[Matthew Skolnikoff @mattsko]

@OlgaNYC1211 Are these MAGA influencers by chance changing their tune because Russia is impoverished by their war of choice and can't afford to pay them anymore?

What craven idiots they are. But it is amusing.

@ThatEricAlper Whitney Houston or Bob Marley - I was into both pop music and reggae in the 80s.
