#MaineSenate Bangor Daily News: Janet Mills’ inner circle reluctant to join Democrats in rallying behind Graham Platner In recent days, Ben Goodman, Mills’ press secretary in Augusta, has shared several posts on his personal X account in recent days suggesting he’s unlikely to cast a ballot for the insurgent candidate who outpolled Mills for months. Former Maine Democratic Party Vice Chair Peggy Schaffer, who in March appeared in a Mills ad targeting Platner’s old Reddit posts, said she’ll vote for Janet Mills in the June 9 primary. She’ll vote for Platner if he’s the nominee, but she’ll be holding her nose “like eating peas.” bangordailynews.com/2026/05/12/pol…
After a stunning rise, Stephen Miller has seen his influence quietly diminished in the White House, insiders tell @michaelscherer and @NickMiroff. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
Hello, it’s me in @nytopinion. The Democratic Party is historically unpopular & hemorrhaging working class voters. Focusing on the issue of climate change —an issue mainly impt to their educated/affluent base—is not a way to reverse this. This marks the end of an era. 👇

FBI Director Kash Patel explains how the criminal investigation into James Comey’s seashell post wasn’t a simple one: This has been a case that's been investigated over the past 9, 10, 11 months. These cases take time. Our investigators work methodically
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
26-year-old Republican Franceska is shocked that Trump has defunded education instead of "tax breaks or helping with the education system" Let's see what else MAGA voters have to say
Serious question Why is literally half the internet saying Saturday's attempted assassination on Trump was 'staged'?
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

It's funny, Houston is this supernova of growth, the rare place in the US that is absorbing millions of domestic and international migrants and making them richer, but if you say anything nice about it, e.g. maybe non-zoning is fine, people have a meltdown.
