Four points on Maine: 1) Mills is a very poor candidate. 2) Platner could beat Collins. 3) Platner is a very risky gamble. 4) Platner is doing best with upscale Dems, rather than non-college Dems — not what you'd expect from a "working-class whisperer" theargumentmag.com/p/is-graham-pl…







Dem politicians like @MalloryMcMorrow think good politics is promising voters they’ll do popular donor-challenging things in the future they refuse to do right now with the power they currently have. It’s deep cynicism designed to fool low-info voters in the attention economy.

1) I think people in this online echo chamber majorly overestimate how much normal people/Michiganders know and care about Hasan Piker. 2) I’ve had major issues with some things he’s said, but IMO he’s not in the same realm as Nick Fuentes. 3) This pivot from McMorrow seems like a strategic bet that Stevens voters are more gettable than El-Sayed voters, and maybe that more undecideds are deciding between McMorrow and Stevens. And that she was never going to outflank Abdul on being progressive or on Israel-Gaza — essentially conceding the left lane and trying to chart a Goldilocks path to the nomination. 4) Whether intentional or not, I think this will make it more likely that AIPAC will turn their fire on El-Sayed alone, rather than both McMorrow and El-Sayed (which seemed to be their plan before).



Drop Site News obtained a private donor call where the McMorrow campaign discussed her strong pro-Israel stance. Volunteer Rob Kalman praised her “outstanding” AIPAC position paper, which he said has not been made public.













Scoop in @playbookdc: @hasanthehun, the left-wing political streamer with millions of followers, will rally with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan on April 7. It’s his first appearance on the stump for a candidate.


Trump was outraged over a $1.7b transfer to Iran as part of the 2015 nuke deal Now he is offering Iran a $14b windfall to sell its oil -- during a war "This is asking them to please, please, please sell oil because the market is going haywire.” nytimes.com/2026/03/23/bus…
