The Maine Senate Race In One Post: - @SenatorCollins raised $9.8M from 100 billionaires and their spouses. - @grahamformaine raised $9.6M from small-dollar Mainers averaging $26. Do you get it yet?

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.

🚨 Tucker Carlson dropped a bombshell Thursday, claiming that Dan Bongino — while still serving as FBI Deputy Director — admitted to him that Donald Trump himself ordered the investigation into the 2024 Butler assassination attempt to be SHUT DOWN! Carlson said that after pressing Bongino about Thomas Crooks’ online presence, Bongino “became hysterical” on the phone. “He was clearly terrified,” Carlson said. After a long series of calls and texts, Bongino allegedly told him: “Take it up with Trump. He’s the one who shut down the investigation.”  Carlson made the explosive claim during an appearance on Mario Nawfal’s podcast, stating flatly: “I know that Trump shut down the investigation into Butler. That is a fact. Dan Bongino told me that when he worked at the FBI.” Let that sink in. The man who claimed the left was trying to assassinate him may have personally buried the investigation into his own near-murder. Bongino fired back Friday, calling Carlson’s accusations “seriously one of the most delusional things” he’d ever heard, and sharing purported text messages to dispute the account. He also called Carlson a “nepo baby” on X.  So either Tucker Carlson is lying about a sitting FBI official confessing to a cover-up — or Dan Bongino is lying about what he told Tucker Carlson. Either way, two of the right wing’s most prominent voices are now accusing each other of being liars about the most serious domestic security incident in years. The truth is in the texts, Tucker says. Release them.

Media’s framing of Platner as some kind of manopshere referendum on gender is idiotic. Women actually prefer Platner to Collins, as polling consistently shows, whereas men prefer Collins. You’ll never see this in a headline though because everything has to be culture war bs

Hasan Piker on Randy Fine: “I think he needs to get on Ozempic. Actually, I think he should keep eating. Let’s see how far this goes. He’s basically Israel the person. He’s just constantly expanding into territory he has no right being inside of”

Maybe she owes Maine an answer for dating a married man whose wife had cancer, if Senate seats are now about someone’s dating history
