The trailer for Gaza: Journalists Under Fire is here. Since October 7, 2023, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both World Wars. We must demand justice. #WorldPressFreedomDay

Maine voter asked about Platner: "Probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."

Who Will Account for Another Foreign Policy Failure? https://t.co/bqg1Cokgs8

All the reports from the Platner rally, plus the videos circulating, show a raucous crowd and multiple standing ovations. The NYT calls it “relatively sedate.”

If you get your news from the Times, stop being stunned when events don’t turn out the way you think they will.

Nick Maynard: "Let me tell you about Zainab, a 7mth old girl.. we had run out of formula feed.. she died whilst I was there.. 4 days before she died a group of US drs had brought in formula feed.. they had every bottle deliberately removed by the Israeli border guards"

She was placed at CBS by Ellison to crush the left and advance Donald Trump’s agenda, so it’s no surprise that that is precisely what she’s doing. And no matter her level of incompetence, she’ll stay there as long as she’s doing that. https://t.co/oax4XKWmZO

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

Jennifer Welch on Graham Platner: “Everyone’s talking about toxic relationships and tattoos and all of this shit. Talk about Susan Collins voting to dismantle protections that keep women safe and keep women free because that is the real story here. She is a MAGA fascist to her core. I don’t give a fuck if somebody had a toxic relationship. I myself have been a toxic girlfriend, I’ve had toxic boyfriends. That’s part of the human experience”

Hayes: Yesterday the senate majority basically staged a sham vote intentionally, like a show, like a little play where she and a couple of other Republicans also up for reelection, got to cast meaningless votes against Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists.

Everyone knew that it was doomed to fail from the beginning. They weren't actually going to vote it down, because Republicans don't actually want to cross the leader of their party. 

So what they do is Collins gets to pretend to be independent when it doesn’t actually matter. But this is the other part of this. When everything is on the line, well, then Collins is a reliable vote. She's demonstrated she was always stand with Trump…

Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.

Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.

They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.

He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.

And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.

But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Let there be no confusion. From Schumer to Sanders, the Democratic Party is unified to defeat Susan Collins.

[Mondoweiss @Mondoweiss]

Over the past two decades, no one has done more to shape U.S. discourse on Israel than Jeffrey Goldberg. By relying on tropes of eternal Jewish victimhood, Goldberg declared Iran an existential threat to Jews and helped pave the way for war.

They've taken to calling me "dangerous."

Go ask children in Detroit who needed glasses if I'm dangerous.

Go ask people whose medical debt was cancelled if I'm dangerous.

Go ask the people who are breathing on the wrong end of a smokestack if I'm dangerous.

I'm not dangerous to them.

Now go ask a politician backed by corporations. For damn sure I'm dangerous to them.

Why? Because I'm coming for the system where people take money from corporations to funnel into elections so that all the politicians who get elected end up serving the corporations and not the people.

Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim: "We feared that our returning might be construed as an endorsement of the existing power structure. That is simply, categorically not the case. Here's why we're are staying: We don't want to see 60 Minutes die..."

The concept of founding Ladies for Kavanaugh and then expecting everyone to uncritically take your word for uncorroborated “toxic boyfriend” claims.

Here’s Lyndsey talking about how she wanted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to be exposed and humiliated for daring to come forward with an accusation of rape against Brett Kavanaugh.

[Jack Cocchiarella @JDCocchiarella]

I wonder why one of the “reporters” of the a Plater “story” would want to hurt his campaign…

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

It’s like Susan Collins has the New York Times on her payroll.

James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”
