Checking in on this

Susan Collins says "I hope that the press will start holding him [Platner] accountable."

Those "experiences" are wars she voted for x.com/kenklippenstein/status…

Susan Collins says "Mr. Platner has a problem with the truth," adding he "blames it on some experiences in his life."

JOHN FETTERMAN: He [Graham Platner] was sending these kind of pictures and engaging in these kind of conversations with a dozen women — LAURA INGRAHAM: Senator, we haven't confirmed that. Fox has not confirmed, to be clear, that he sent these pictures. FETTERMAN: You're right ... I'm saying, though, let's just clear it up.

Hunter Biden defends Graham Platner, saying: "Show me your phone — and if that's the standard by which we are going to judge people ... then I don't think we're gonna have many people in elected office." "I have not heard anything in any way that would say to me that he is abusive, misogynistic or antisemitic or racist person. And I have heard this from Graham Platner, though: that he thinks we should all have free healthcare." "I think that his relationship with his wife ... the entirety of that controversy is, it's all about consensual stuff. I mean, stupid. Maybe you would have a problem, anyone would have a problem — but, like, you know, I always say to people, like, Show me your phone.' Give me access to your iCloud. Let's go through it and pull everything that we can that is inappropriate, that is, um, off-color, that is — that selfie that you took when you were drunk off your ass. And, you know, you sent it to your blah, blah, blah." "Like, show me your phone, and if that's the standard by which we are going to judge people, particularly people in elected office, then I don't think we're gonna have many people in elected office."

RT @NatashaBertrand: New: The US’ top general made a secret, rushed visit to CENTCOM hq in Florida late last month to be briefed in person…

Who is this for!

A progressive presidential campaign in 2020 told me they wanted to hire but had too many white men on the campaign 😀

This guy is real life Sisyphus

Another astonishing clip from the Cato Institute event today, this one from the influential Adam Posen, head of the Peterson Institute. He says a focus on domestic manufacturing is simply a “fetish for keeping white males with low education in the powerful positions they are in.”

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

I know next to nothing about Graham Platner's policy views, but thanks to media coverage I know his: - Ex girlfriends' names - Kik username - Reddit posts - Tattoos - Bartending stint

Janet Mills campaign went so well, why not. Chuck knows how to pick em!

“Senator” isn’t the only way to Washington – don’t sleep on a powerful “Draft Mills” movement in 2028. Or 2032! #Savvy

.@kenklippenstein: "The same press that spent weeks narrating Platner’s moral depravity and inevitable collapse is now going to pivot, at NASCAR-pit-crew speed, to Mamdani-inspired hand-wringing that Platner isn’t ready for Washington." kenklippenstein.com/p/platne… #UnitedStates
