NEW QUANTUS INSIGHTS POLL | June 12, 2026 Our latest Maine U.S. Senate survey finds the race tightening sharply since March, with Graham Platner now holding a narrow 1-point edge over Susan Collins. 📊 Maine U.S. Senate 🔵 Graham Platner: 46% 🔴 Susan Collins: 45% ⚪️ Undecided: 7% ⚪️ Other: 2% –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 📊 Generic Congressional Ballot 🔵 Democratic candidate: 50% 🔴 Republican candidate: 40% ⚪️ Undecided: 8% ⚪️ Other: 3% –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 📊 Susan Collins Favorable: 42% Unfavorable: 56% Very unfavorable: 49% –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 📊 Graham Platner Favorable: 40% Unfavorable: 57% Very unfavorable: 37% The Maine Senate race has moved from an early Democratic advantage to a statistical tie. Platner led Collins by 7 points in our March survey, but now leads by just 1. Collins remains deeply underwater, yet she is running ahead of the Republican brand in a state where Democrats lead the generic ballot by 10. Platner’s standing has softened amid recent controversies, and the race remains highly competitive and unsettled.

Donald Trump affirme que son examen médical s’est « parfaitement » déroulé, à quelques jours de son 80e anniversaire. Des questions persistent toutefois sur son état de santé. L'analyse de Julien Cavanagh @RafJacob au #tj18h.

Free speech is a legal right. It is also part of a larger inheritance, protected by people who paid costs most of us can barely imagine. On Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service to that inheritance. They did not die so Americans would fall into a dreary consensus on all things. They died helping preserve a country where disagreement is possible without bloodshed, where dissent is not treason, and where citizens can argue, worship, protest, publish, persuade, offend, forgive, and begin again. That is not a small thing. It’s the inheritance we are obliged to protect.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv

Même avec seulement 10% du vote dépouillé, clair que Thomas Massie se dirige vers défaite. Avec Marjorie Taylor Greene, l'illustration la forte de l'année de la même réalité qui définit le Parti républicain depuis 2016: défier Donald Trump, c'est jouer avec la mort politique.

Signé cet article il y a presque exactement 1 an sur les chances pour les démocrates de gagner le Texas en 2026. Je repartage dans le contexte où Donald Trump vient de formellement appuyer aujourd'hui *le* candidat républicain le susceptible de perdre. lactualite.com/monde/etats-u…

Lots of discussion about this but people seem to be overlooking the actual phrasing of the question: not "do you drink?", but "have you ever had more than a few sips of alcohol?" That more than 50% of HS seniors (who are not children!) said "no" seems somewhat sinister
I know it's fashionable now to panic about trends like this because it's evidence of antisocial behavior, phone addiction, the teen loneliness epidemic, etc. but my bold, counterintuitive take is that fewer children drinking alcohol is a good thing.
