The University of Kansas band learned the Algerian National Anthem to welcome the team before training. 🇩🇿

Absolutely incredible…

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”

Ayuh.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Feels like Rs are working a “Platner in trouble after new posts emerge” story, but Mainers have processed that he’s the Bad Posts and Tat guy already.

This is quintessential story about why Maine is such a special place.

Quote of the Year

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don���t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We can't afford to keep our hospitals open, but we can afford a billion dollars a day to bomb Iran?

[Janet Mills @JanetMillsforME]

.@SenSusanCollins just gave Donald Trump the green light to take further unilateral military action that could push the United States into another endless war without oversight.

She doesn't have the courage to stand up to the President, even when American lives are on the line.

Great question @catculley - maybe @SenatorCollins will answer at her next town meeting open to all of her constituents?

[Catherine Culley🫶 @catculley]

@PHirschkorn @JanetMillsforME @SenSusanCollins @SenatorCollins Here’s the language. Why does @SenatorCollins want Maine to give up control of our Voter Rolls?

[Hannah Pingree @PingreeHannah]

This is both outrageous and heartbreaking. Senator Susan Collins has the power to stop funding this terror. Keep calling and standing up! We need ICE OUT of Maine. NOW!

[Sean Patrick Maloney @SeanPMaloney]

When I ran the DCCC, every decision came down to imperfect information: where to spend, which races were real, and what signals to trust when the noise was overwhelming. Polls lagged. Pundits guessed. Social media distorted reality.
What exists now (and didn’t then) are prediction markets that force people to put real stakes behind their beliefs, not just opinions. They surface signals that cut through noise in ways few other tools can.
I’ve seen how valuable that kind of information is. That’s why I’m joining @PredictAction as CEO and President to help ensure these markets have real rules, real accountability, and real protections for the people using them. I look forward to working alongside Chairman @PatrickMcHenry to make sure policymakers get this right, and we protect this growing industry.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Not George W. Bush. Not the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. Not the Generals. Not conservatism Inc. Not the big law firms. Not the tech oligarchs. Not the media conglomerates who need their mergers.

Jerome Powell. A man who refuses to be intimidated.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this week's New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.

For folks wondering how I try to articulate a politics that embraces energy transition and its many benefits to America but doesn't malign the role oil and gas play in our economy (and our geopolitical power) today, please refer to my 2022 NYT op ed here https://t.co/RnHs3HUXxB
