This is nothing out of the ordinary. They were never going to support him. They would rather lose the Senate than elect a pro–working-class candidate. Why do you think he’s being smeared relentlessly by left-wing media? The goal is to elect Susan Collins. Her path to reelection runs through Democrats who either stay home or vote for Collins.
Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

This is what everyone is missing about the Platner story.
The reporters talked to Fifield's family and friends. They read her texts, Facebook messages, and even her diary. Absolutely nothing indicates this serial liar is telling the truth.
The only incriminating message the Times found was her saying she wanted to help Susan Collins.
According to the media, I’m supposed to stop supporting Graham Platner based on accusations from a right-wing operative who previously worked to discredit Kavanaugh’s accusers.
James Carville: “The more I think about the Graham Platner thing, the more I see he has value. Graham Platner had four combat deployments. We have to assume that has had some residual effect on him. You know what those four wars have in common? Susan Collins voted for all four”
Dems' reactions to Platner making it transparently clear that "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was always just a way to make leftists to shut up and vote for centrists, not an actual principle
Hasan Piker: “All of these Fox News guys are like I can’t believe this is what Graham Platner was doing. Pete Hegseth was literally your co-worker and was a notorious drunk rapist. I feel like I’m losing my mind, the standards are so out of wack. We just never look at Republicans. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape”
They admit it every single day. (And Steyer isn’t even that far left, he’s just a solid progressive who hasn’t taken money from every single corporation that does business in CA as Becerra has)
Colonizers did this until there were only 27 bison left. TWENTY-SEVEN. All bison today are descendants of those 27. I do not want to hear anything more about looting, you cannot compare a walmart to an entire species. Pure evil.
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
New: The Washington Post reconstructed journalist Amal Khalil’s final hours in Lebanon found that Israel’s military denied rescuers access to her during a key period when she was still alive.

This shit pisses me off so fucking much. Every business in this entire set of 10 blocks gets cut off during one of the biggest nights of the year for the city all because one orange dickhead needs to come watch the game. Also what happens to all the commuter traffic coming into and out of Penn station? Thousands of people planning to come in and out on NJ transit and the LIRR, anyone on the ACE or 123 lines do what exactly? Absolutely ROBBING the city of their homecoming game.
Marie Glusenkamp Perez has the guts to stand up to her party and adopt important heterodox positions, like helping Republicans cut fruit and vegetable WIC benefits to children and nursing mothers. Such a profile in courage!
