Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Just to be 100% clear, you're saying the "rape by deception", "rape-by-fraud", and "rape-by-trickery" laws that are on the books in various jurisdictions should be repealed, in-part or entirely? And some or all of the convictions under those laws should be vacated? Or something else?

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

No. There is so mechanism by which state governments could exercise any control over payments from businesses and individuals to the federal goverment. Those payments are direct. The state is not an intermediary in those payments. This plan makes no sense.

He's going to do something beyond the pale, even for him. And he'll use the National Guard units that have been strategically staged (under the guise of crime reduction) to suppress the resulting protests, especially in DC.

They hid or downplayed the seriousness of multiple health-relatee absences during his first term, so it's impossible to know. Like the week in 2017 when nobody saw him. Or in 2020 when he had COVID, they lied about how severe his case was, and we didn't learn until after he was out of office.

This question is pretty loaded. I suspect Harris voters may be more honest on this point than their counterparts. My racist aunt threw my cousin out of the house for dating a Black guy, but I guarantee you she also would have said it was wrong to cut anyone off for their political views.

I have little doubt that they've made copies of sensitive databases from numerous government agencies, on which they can use automated cross-refence and analysis tools to dig up dirt (legitimate or not) on the opposition. It's a veritable Stasi fantasy.

The rumors about the suit requirement seem to be sourced from a pro-MAGA fake news account on the other site. They're probably trying to tilt the odds on polymarket bets by spreading misinformation.
