This should silence every Democratic consultant and operative calling for Platner to drop out. The Republicans are now saying the article was a "gift" to his campaign.

The hit job failed. They're pivoting to "liberal media strikes again." Disingenuous hacks.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Susan Collins is spineless and corrupt.

And in 151 days, we will defeat her.

266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”

172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”

This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

red states are just not democracies

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

"Donald Trump can tear down the Statue of Liberty just because he says so" is kind of the whole ballgame, isn't it?

I just received a Framework Desktop (Strix Halo) courtesy of @AMD in order to merge and continue the development in DwarfStar of the ROCm support (currently community handled). What Linux distro should I install? Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS which is officially supported, or Fedora 43?

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

A Collins classic here where she joins Dems in the failed vote to block Trump’s slush fund so she can say she was against it, but when they needed her vote to get it over the top she was there for them.

[Al Smizzle @AlZeidenfeld]

They published a 900-page book in 2023 that told everyone exactly what they planned to do if/when Trump won.

Many people chose not to believe them.

The “uninvolved civilian” they shot at was a SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY.

His name was Sam Fahd Abou Haikal.

This used to be regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

[Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms]

Unfortunately you will be seeing these cases pop up like whac-a-moles from here on out, because we currently do not have the number of sterile flies produced to stop this

Only a matter of time until it leaves Texas and spills into other states

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: The Trump administration had plans to classify 2.7 million living people — including some U.S. citizens and lawful residents — as dead as part of its immigration enforcement efforts, according to a former senior Social Security executive. https://t.co/2aBY6bPI4y

“I’ve done exactly as you’ve instructed, my liege. The rise of the worms is at hand!”

This just really doesn’t increase her credibility.

Hey media

Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

I can’t think of a decision more vindicated by history than protesting the pending genocide that everyone with the most basic knowledge of Gaza and Israel knew was coming on Oct 8 2023

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It’s important to note that this is not a coincidence or just trolling by Trump and his admin. To such people, the Nazi rise and takeover and transformation of the German government is a success story to be emulated, so why not use their language and tactics?

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

The admin has now awarded $4.3 billion dollars to build border barriers through Big Bend National Park & the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River.

That's enough money to fund the entire National Park Service—all 433 units & 20,000 staff—for almost two years.

But instead, we're gutting funding for America's most popular & trusted government agency (NPS) & handing billions of dollars to contractors so they can permanently scar one of our crown-jewel national parks.
