It’s the wikipedia page for the 2026 Maine Senate election, as of 3/1/2026, showing Platner endorsements. Robert Reich; Senators: Sanders, Murphy, Heinrich, Whitehouse; Rep Khanna. One endorsement is stricken out.

If I were a progressive journalist with a platform, I might be interviewing some influential people about why they want to be on the record endorsing Platner.

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement. "Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. "Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran. "Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. "I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. "The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort. "I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Since this is a response to me, I’ll respond back: I don’t think I can sink Platner that way. I think he’s definitely going to be the Democratic nominee and likely the next Senator. And that means both parties no longer have taboos against candidates who associate with Nazis, and that scares me!

Odd comment. The people I follow on here are very much focused on Iran. But there’s no algorithm on here so you get what you follow. It’s great actually.

How did Stephen A. Smith get 9% in this poll?:

The poll's sample of Democrats was very small.

And in the crosstabs, you can tell that only one respondent chose Smith. It was a young Asian male Independent voter from the Great Lakes region. This one voter was HEAVILY weighted in the sample.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

All bangers today

He fixed the chart. Blue bar is only 10%

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

its really wild just how radical of a political belief it is in this country to think that people all over the world are just as human as americans and our policies should reflect that

90% of evictions in MN are for nonpayment of rent. I did a sample a week ago and found the avg nonpayment eviction in Hennepin County would take $5,122 to stop. Studies (before the high inflation of the past few years) suggest stopping an eviction saves $6,832 in public costs. It just makes sense

I wanted AOC to primary Schumer in 2028. Now I want her to run for president. Zohran can run for Senate.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

The middle age straight dad version of this is a feed full of 32 year old women in yoga pants making innuendos about bjs.

<goose chase meme> widely criticized by whom?

The Fairshake pro-crypto super PAC has just spent $5.2 million on attack ads targeting Democrat Juliana Stratton in her primary race for Illinois Senate.

The ads cast her as “corrupt criminal Mike Madigan’s hand-picked politician” who “follow[s] his orders at any cost”.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

@GOP on X: Vote the pro-peace ticket. Vote Trump-Vance 🇺🇸 04 Nov 24

The lies about Trump's approach to war and foreign policy were ubiquitous. Just a few.

This seems like a good time to remind my fellow Illinoisans to NOT vote for Raja.

Really don't understand how this isn't a bigger scandal. This is conspiracy to commit federal witness tampering (and likely witness murder) for the purpose of covering up a foreign government's deal with organized crime, a deal that has been affirmed by the DOJ.

I was still registered to vote in Kentucky 18 years after the last time I voted there. I can’t qwhite figure out why it took them so long to purge my registration.

cant.stop.laughing

Also, it probably won’t be sized for body shapes that most need it.

The catfishing bot that talked back to me and told me to report and block it …
