A+, best part is him absolutely shit-faced asking "what about my kids?" Good question asshole!
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

knew this quote was going to be used but laughing that it took less than a week
Everyone agrees, Senator Susan Collins is getting results for Maine. Even Governor Janet Mills praised Senator Collins, just last month saying: "I appreciate everything she is doing." Watch the latest ad from One Nation ⤵️

Has anyone else noticed a ton of anti-Platner tweets suddenly now that Janet Mills has joined the race? And all their complaints are disingenuous or just "vibes-based"? They really have nothing to attack him on, "there's just something" they don't like about him lol

In another post in 2010, Platner took aim at musician Ted Nugent “As a combat veteran, that m*therf**ker makes me want to puke when he spews his warmongering macho bullshit. Suck a d*ck, Ted.” “To be fair,” Platner told CNN. “I’m not really regretful of that one.”
The undercurrent of concern around Platner's candidacy (mainly expressed quietly) is we don't know what we don't know. @Lauren_V_Egan asked him about it here https://t.co/OhtYDAQzHc This morning, the @KFILE has a post that gets at the root of those concerns

She should just put it into whoever wins the primary.
The Maine 2026 Senate primary is heating up, but 2020 nominee Sara Gideon still has $3.3 million in the bank five years after losing to Susan Collins.

To put this into perspective, when Roy Cooper launched he raised $3.4 million and Sherrod Brown raised $3.6 million. Mill only raising 1 million is a far cry from those hauls. Graham has raised $500k since Mills launched, which we were not expecting.
Sen. Susan Collins has raised $1.9 million since July 1, per FEC filing. Graham Platner’s campaign has said he’s raised $4 million since launching his campaign in August, while Gov. Janet Mills’s campaign says she raised $1 million since launching yesterday.

Mills only raised $1 million on launch, she had the following folks sending emails and fundraising for her and still only got $1 million.
Inbox: Maine Gov. Janet Mills says she raised $1 million in the first 24 hours of her Senate campaign.

Did not know this guy was a Maine voter.
As a Maine Democrat who hasn’t made up his mind in this race yet, all I ask of Schumer on this is to keep his thumb off the scale and let Mainers decide their nominee.

You do realize Dem voters want more than just “I hate Trump”. They also their Democrat politicians to peruse good policies on healthcare and economics.
Janet Mills beat the previous (R) governor by 13 pts. The most recent poll has her approval statewide at 51/41. Her last appearance in the news was publicly standing up to Trump. Naturally, the consensus #onhere is that some guy who no one heard of a month ago is a better cand.

With Governor Mills entering the US Senate Democratic Primary, Maine has become a battleground between the corporate-friendly establishment & an insurgent progressive grassroots movement. My latest substack:

“My vote is not guaranteed to Senator Schumer”

Bernie Sanders hates (Maine governor) Janet Mills for the same set of reasons that he previously hated (Vermont governor) Madeleine Kunin, Hillary Clinton & Kamala Harris a review of that 1986 VT gubernatorial race reveals his ugly attitudes towards women that haven't changed

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I expect that AIPAC will spend heavily in the Maine Senate Dem primary race.
It’s wild how many supposed Dems have come out of the woodwork on X to bash Graham Platner but if you talk to normie Dems who live here in Maine they think he’s a pretty cool guy.
