Today, we're rescinding our endorsement of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and calling on him to immediately withdraw from the race. See the full statement below.

Fuck you.

FUCK EVERY FUCKING PERSON WHO SUPPORTED AND EVEN FUCKING ENDORSED GRAHAM FUCKING PLATNER; EVERYONE WHO SHRUGGED OFF, LAUGHED OFF OR BLEW OFF THE *MOUNTAIN* OF MASSIVE RED FLAGS WHICH WE WERE WARNING ABOUT FOR NEARLY A FUCKING YEAR NOW. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES.

In 1944, Nazis would have said these guys were suffering from Hitler Derangement Syndrome.

Fuck all of these fucking fucks.

Protecting and expanding Social Security is not a question of affordability– it’s a question of values. We can deliver benefits through the rest of the century if the richest among us pay their fair share. @whitehouse.senate.gov

BREAKING: Donald Trump has gone back to not giving a shit about soccer.

Hey @jonfavs.bsky.social @podsaveamerica.crooked.com Tommy Vietor @danpfeiffer.bsky.social how you guys feeling today? How about you, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @heinrich.senate.gov, @gallegoforarizona.com?

So grayham planter .. Ho hum. We been knew but too magy kid mouth podcasters and big shot dem senators refused to listen to us

There are two kinds of people who want to cut Social Security—liars and people who believe the lies.

I’d love to see Lukaku play in La Liga. That would be fun. Congrats, Belgium. Congrats to the USMNT for making it this far. It’s embarrassing to have our corrupt president collude with FIFA to influence World Cup rules. That will forever be s shameful part of this World Cup’s history

Cowards…

In 1965, an Alabama State Trooper shot and killed Jimmie Lee Jackson during a protest in Marion, AL. He was unarmed and the protesters were peaceful. His death led to the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights and ultimately the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 61 years later….

🚨 One of the most common complaints I've received from Dem donors over the 9 months or so has been "why don't you have Graham Platner listed on your U.S. Senate fundraising page?" Now you know. Donate to OTHER Democrats running for Senate today. secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

Billionaires LOVE that Social Security’s “ghost offices” are technically still “open” but lack the staff to actually function. Why? Because it’s a part of their scheme to wreck Social Security so they can rob us of our earned benefits!

To their credit, the Maine Democratic Party did NOT endorse Platner after Mills suspended her campaign. They rightly waited until after the primary.

TERMS??? Holy shit. So basically he's demanding that he be replaced by another rapist who blames his own victims for their assault? Pass.

Rapist apologists everywhere.

A reminder that Abdul El Sayed’s gym bro buddy Hasan Piker is this asshole’s nephew.

Anyone still defending Graham Platner at this point is supporting what we claim to despise. Enough is enough with this guy. Either character matters or it doesn’t. I firmly believe it does. It must. Or we’re no better than MAGA.

I’ll wait for a more familiar outlet to confirm, but assuming this is legit, that was quick.

Sure you do. He's a white dude with a manly beard & a flannel shirt. That was literally all it took for him to be their guy.

Yes, we used our Jewish Space Lasers to send Platner back in time several years ago & forced him to rape a woman.

Welp. Rumor has it that I may be able to write about someone again soon.

(sigh) hoo boy, here we go...

Since folks tried to make hay out of the official responses to Mallory McMorrow dropping out yesterday by Abdul El Sayed & Haley Stevens, it's worth noting their respective responses to today's news about Graham Platner.

This guy is a fucking idiot. Platner’s stepbrother Seth Frantzman is an Israeli author, journalist, and security analyst who works as a senior Middle East correspondent for The Jerusalem Post who lives in Jerusalem. Platner has written about liking killing Muslims.

Reposting this for no particular reason. charlesgaba.substack.com/p/how-was-he...

And just so we’re clear… “We” is inclusive of Black & Jewish folk. Plus many democratic men and women of all races..

I want to be perfectly clear: Kristen Gillibrand should resign, too. She's enriching her son with crypto deals, like a Russian style politician.

Taxing billionaires isn't just a good economic policy, it's a powerful anti-corruption tool at every level of government.

Putin puppet Benny Johnson needs to stfu about Black folk and especially Black women. @redhotnerd.bsky.social

Iowans are tired of self-interested politicians like Ashley Hinson who misuse taxpayer dollars on luxury apartments and go on lavish vacations while costs go up. Unlike Hinson, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is a fighter who'll be focused on rooting out corruption and lowering costs. #IASen

4 weeks ago.

From selling up to $250,000 of Pennsylvania hospital bonds before voting for massive health care cuts, to accepting over $216,000 in corporate PAC money, it's clear Rob Bresnahan doesn't work for the voters in #PA08. It's time to vote him out and elect Mayor Paige Cognetti.

David Hogg also needs to go and never be heard from again and stop with his performative bs bc he dreams of being as deplorable as platner He is not forgiven

When Trump signed his and Republicans' Big Billionaire Bill into law, they made it clear who they really work for—and it’s not the American people.

Mexico broke hearts and the Lions of England showed heart winning in one of the toughest futbol stadiums. England advances 3-2 over Mexico. England vs Norway in Miami next week.

Is this even legal? I’m sure backroom deals like this unofficially happen all the time, but I’m wondering whether doing so on the record could be considered bribery or extortion?

“It’s the smart move. Tessio was always smarter.”

Fuck Trump and his cursed interference.

Um. Question, sir! 👋

Says area fascist who could not spell “FIFA” three years ago. Corrupts everything in sight.

With their decision in NRSC vs. FEC, the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court wiped out the remaining limits on campaign spending in our elections. Now billionaires and corporations have one more avenue to corrupt our politics as we head into the midterm elections.

I wrote about it previously, but Trump sucks at being a dictator (neither loved nor feared by people outside the US, just hated and mocked). Smart dictator move would have been to take ref into ICE custody for "suspicion of crimes while on a visa" related to TCOs. FIFIA is so corrupt it's plausible

At least $68.3 million in taxpayer dollars went to Freedom250, while corporations with federal contracts were offered access to President Trump through sponsorships. Taxpayer money shouldn't fund political theater or help corporations buy access. abcnews.go.com/Politics/pay...

The red flags were there. All vetting must include: do you have any Nazi tattoos we should be aware of? This could have ended long ago, with time to build a robust campaign around someone who isn't an entitled a**hole.

That's the way mobligarchy works.

I bet they had this at the White House carnival 🎡

For no real reason, Trump is reportedly swapping out the Iconic Colummns on the White House facade for Corinthian Columns. Of course he is. Who can forget Trump’s “Two Corinthians” gaf at Liberty U? Messiah 2.0 thought it was “Two Corinthians” rather “Second Corinthians.”

Federal grad school loans are now capped at $20,500 a year, while many programs cost far more. Nursing, teaching, and social work students could be hit hardest. That's not fixing a broken system. That's locking people out of one. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I am throwing a red card on Trump's damn tarps at the Kennedy Center. And on his corrupt stock and crypto schemes. And on his voter suppression Save Act. And on his hiding the Epstein Files. And, and...

It's not nice to make fun of the mentally challenged, but holy hell.

This wafflenoodle always saying he won't get into the thing as he gets into the thing.

Everybody be cool. It's only robbery if poor people with guns do it. Billionaires stealing is totally fine.

Trump and congressional Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill" is expected to leave 10 million more Americans uninsured by 2034—a reality that's already started to unfold a year into the law. It's sickening.

America can have a golden era of soccer. Teams rise up, have their moment, then another country has theirs. With faith, investment, humane immigration policy (obviously!), USA could feel the glory of the World Cup. Becoming a soccer country would help restore our place in the global community.
