A twist on the ol’ trolley problem: You have a flock of sheep on a large plot of land surrounded by fencing to keep wolves out. It’s important to keep wolves out because:
To Democrats who oppose Platner: Just be honest about what you're doing. That's all. Be honest and admit that you think it's more important to take a stand against personal peccadilloes than to enact any reforms to undo the harms of Trumpism or to have a non-reactionary Supreme Court in our lifetimes. And if you claim Democrats who support Platner are just like Trump supporters, just admit that the comparison is disingenuous, since Platner isn't campaigning to "own" half of America and no one is supporting him in the hopes he will.

The stakes of this race were laid out in front of Maryland tonight. In just 4 years, we created nearly 65,000 new businesses and tens of thousands of jobs. We invested in our teachers and students, bringing reading and math scores to a 5 year high. We drove violent crime to record lows. There is still more work to get done. Let’s keep pushing Maryland forward.

FBI agents were circling Susan Collins and her operation. Then Donald Trump came back and dismantled the unit investigating. And now Susan Collins conveniently votes with him 96% of the time. Does Senator Collins think Mainers are stupid? Enough of the bull. Mainers deserve answers. Our tax dollars aren’t bargaining chips for pay-to-play schemes.

Their fav target is the "corporate Dems." Yet notice the silence on structural campaign finance reform. Demanding Ds unilaterally disarm in an era governed by Citizens United is not strategic; it is a suicide pact that systematically hands power to donor-funded right-wing PACs.

Colorado Republicans really need to do some soul searching about how they ended up with this guy as their gubernatorial candidate.
NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

She's a very likable person. It's a real shame that certain people treated her as History's Greatest Monster because she was going up against one of the primary candidates that they decided to make their entire personality. She didn't deserve to be treated like that.

My biggest pet peeve with some White Democrats will always be them pretending that beating Trump was somehow easy because they refuse to accept that Trump’s bigotry was genuinely appealing to their family members. They keep making excuses, and blaming the party, but your family had agency.
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.: “The establishment Democratic Party is a failed enterprise… It is so hard to lose two general elections to Donald Trump. In political terms, to imagine a worse failure than losing two national elections to DT.” Via @LeverNews

To what end, David? Congrats… you won your seat running against the “establishment.” Threw mud all over the party. Now what? Can you pass a bill by yourself? Nope. Can you get your agenda through a Republican majority? Good luck. Want to win the White House? To get to 270, you’re going to need some of those same folks you keep shitting on. Run your own race. Tell folks where you disagree. But there’s a difference between that and telling everybody the whole damn party is worthless. If you win, but other Democrats lose, who’s passing your agenda?! It is the collective that makes things happen in our government and not the individual. You have to find a way to work with folks. Otherwise you’re slashing the tires on the same damn bus you need to get somewhere. Make it make sense. Bottomline- save the fights for the primary. Let’s all win in the general!
What Jaime’s response shows is the Dem Establishment does not understand how much voters loathe them right now, and can’t even understand that when you look at history, in such environments, many of the most successful Dems run against the establishment/status quo.

I’m really sick and tired of people blaming democrats for losing to trump in 2024 based on policy instead of looking around and seeing all the people in this country who continue to support trump because they are hateful racists.

We're a month out from the midterms and Republicans are diverting money to *South Carolina*. Anyone focussing on Democrats as a "failed enterprise" sounds like they've lost their god damned mind. We should be celebrating that at least some actions still have consequences.

David, this isn’t a damn primary. We are weeks away from a GENERAL ELECTION between Democrats and Republicans. So are you saying a candidate running as a Democrat should spend these final weeks beating up the Democratic Party, the “establishment,” whatever the hell folks want to call it… while Republicans are doing the same thing. And somehow all that is supposed to get folks to the polls to vote FOR Democrats?! Make it make sense. Our candidates need to focus on beating Republicans. Period. Common sense just ain’t common.
Apparently, former DNC Chair Jamie Harrison thinks that in order to win the midterms, Democrats should be spending the final weeks aggressively touting the Democratic Establishment. Incredible.

Basically every media outlet sent out a push alert when Biden called Zelenskyy “Putin” before correcting himself 3 seconds later. In this episode, they’re tripping over themselves to try to explain away our senile president.
Here are Trump's fuller comments about Los Angeles and San Diego. My read: The "small price to pay" comment refers back to the costs of the war -- like gas prices -- not to the idea of Iran nuking LA and SD. But Trump speaks so circuitously these days.

Folks… I’m begging you. If you’ve been sitting on the bench, get in the game! Last year I said 2026 would be a repeat of 2006 and is shaping up to be just that! Our grassroots donors have been giving what they can. Our candidates are working their hearts out. Our state parties are fighting for places too many people wrote off a long time ago. They’ve carried us this far. Major donors… we need your help bringing home the win. Look at the opportunities opening up in red states alone: governors’ races in AL, OH, FL, GA, TX, IA and SC. Senate candidates fighting like hell in TX, MS, KS, SC, FL, OH, AK, KY, IA and LA. Congressional Races in Blue, Purple and Red states. Please don’t wait until the morning after the election to wish you had done more. Help a candidate. Invest in a state party. Knock on some doors. Whatever you can do, NOW is the time. We have a chance to take congressional majorities, break legislative supermajorities and win governors’ mansions… to change this country for a generation. But we can’t leave the same folks carrying all the weight. We ALL have to be ALL IN!
