If/when Platner wins the primary, it’ll be the final mark of death for the old guard of the Democratic Party. They don’t have the juice anymore and this will prove it. (Plus I think a primary will make Platner a better candidate for the general!)
New: Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills is calling Democratic senators to say she’s going to announce her Senate campaign next week, per multiple senators. Schumer & other Senate Democrats see Mills as their best chance to defeat veteran GOP Sen. Susan Collins. @allymutnick

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and are almost certainly gonna be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Can attest, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retrievers are incredible actors!
A letter has been sent to The Academy asking them to consider awards for animal actors in acting categories. The letter was signed by Indy the Dog from ‘GOOD BOY’ “I have been deemed ineligible for the Best Actor category. Apparently, I am not a good enough boy for you”

I am ded, nailed it.
“My Dearest Sarah, provisions run low. The almond flour dwindles, and morale wanes. We have not seen a vegan food truck in days. The men speak longingly of brunch, yet there is not one avocado to be found. My longing for you makes my oat milk cortado nearly undrinkable.”

Billionaire Leonard Leo, the man behind every terrible Supreme Court nominee that Susan Collins has voted for, is spending a fortune to keep Mainers from voting. He also just sent $1 million to a Susan Collins Super PAC. Needless to say, all of this should be illegal.
"The Supreme Court’s Dark Money Man Is Trying to Make It Harder to Vote" Leonard Leo’s network is bankrolling the main donor behind a ballot initiative to limit absentee voting and impose voter ID requirements. Important for Zeteo from @andrewperezdc: https://t.co/yCzriLM1JR

Same, Bernie, same.
Bernie on @axios report that Janet Mills plans Senate run in Maine: “It saddens me that Democrats are gonna have to raise millions of dollars fighting against each other…[Platner] can win the Senate race in Maine, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that happens.”

Boosting this. Let's face it, it's much easier to be a DNC member if you are wealthy. We need to make a better path for those who the costs of travel to meeting are difficult. Let's start by helping Andre attend the DNC Q4 meeting.
Friends, it is once again the time of year when I ask for your help in traveling to a DNC Meeting. From December 11th - 13th, the DNC will convene in Los Angeles! And I can tell you one thing for sure that will be top of mind for me - the 2028 Presidential Primary Calendar. 1/

Disagree. Platner and Zohran are not simply unheard of generational political talents who happened to emerge at the same time. Our country is full of people like them: smart, decent, normal, likable. Most of politics is structured around keeping them out.

If there were more Graham Platner’s Democrats would not be the minority party.
People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

I’d urge every Democrat to watch this clip. This is how we should be talking to voters.

Osprey Friday. This was the spot of a previously thriving Osprey nest. This year, due to deliberate interference by the @USCG, this nest FAILED and won’t have the opportunity again since the marker basket was not replaced. So heartbreaking. #CTNatureFans #birdphotography #osprey

Cannot overstate how terrible this news is. The worst companies in the world are looking at this BlackRock win as their own signal to make their own moves on public infrastructure. Now they know regulators won't stop them.
BREAKING: The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has voted to let BlackRock buy Allete, the company that runs Minnesota Power.

We must pass a billionaire minimum tax that establishes a baseline tax rate that the super-rich cannot go under. It's time to tax the rich.
The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% have about $4 trillion.

A MASSIVE crowd tonight at Graham Platner’s town hall in Brunswick. Comes after having 900 people at his town hall last night in Rockport. 1,400 people in Portland last week. There is no other candidate in the country who has this excitement. It’s time for new leaders.

don’t you have some poll greeters to harass, Erin?
This is the classless leader of the NC Democrat Party. @RepPatHarrigan is an American Patriot.
