God bless America.

An increasingly isolated Graham Platner is holed up at home, navigating the likely end of his campaign and trying to leverage input on the next steps. Campaign staff were told this afternoon that Platner will speak on his future tonight, @merica reports: washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…


Regarding Michelle Goldberg's mea culpa this morning... I do not say this lightly: If Graham Platner fooled you, maybe you should find something to do with your life besides writing columns about politics. Because the U.S. political landscape is full of creeps, cretins, con artists, crooks, and cads of every kind, and it always will be. If the media has any useful role to play in our system, it is to look beyond the spin and the campaign-crafted image and to tell the world who these candidates really are, warts and all, so the electorate can make an informed choice.




It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract. 10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed. The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans. It’s time for an economic reset. @gavinnewsom" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@gavinnewsom

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.



Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

I cannot imagine how embarrassingly MAGA Susan Collins, who can barely talk, will perform in a debate against the locked-in, meticulous, relentlessly motivated Platner.
