Schumer and Mills already know everyone in the system from top to bottom. Platner has to figure it out, and he may not know who to trust, and who's on the take for how much.

I'm curious about the mailing lists too, because I got two Mills begging texts in one day but I've never been contacted (to my knowledge) by anyone on Platner's behalf. I'm in Texas, FWIW.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.
The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Screenshot of a fundraising text from a 77-year-old lady who says she "didn't plan to run for Senate," but could never live with herself if she "didn't do everything in my power to stop Donald Trump's far-right takeover." If she won, she would be 85 years old when she left office.
Janet Mills sent me a fundraising email today. I live in Austin, Texas. So I made a donation to Graham Platner, and told her she shouldn't be running at all. You can too! secure.actblue.com/donate/platn...

They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers. According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place. Do not open your door for these fucking losers.
