Description

Too many party people in Graham Platner's camp cut him too much slack when it came to the allegations that have continued to dog him. It's probably because Democrats so desperately want politicians who will fight that they'll tolerate a certain amount of bad male behavior. At the same time, plenty of women sniffed Platner out from the jump, including here at The Bulwark. Meanwhile, the Republicans' McConnell story is not convincing, man baby POTUS had some ridiculous demands at NATO, ICE is still on a murderous rampage to fulfill Stephen Miller's quotas, and Susan Collins helped fund the gulags. And on a more silly note: Was Taylor's wedding tacky? And should Tim and Alex do a sex podcast? Alex Wagner joins Tim Miller. Go to aven.com to discover your offer. Stop overpaying for capital.

I am so sick and tired of reading of all these incredible beautiful immigrants who are in our country and picked up by ICE. Then they are imprisoned by our country and they are dying by inhumane treatment. It’s murder, plain and simple whether they’re shooting them on the streets denying the medication, not giving them water food making them eat food with maggots in it enough shame on this country. Shame on each of us don’t speak out.

The fact that you can be brain dead and still be a Republican senator is very on brand for the entire party. dRump has Mitch's illnesses.

In my community a beloved member of our community - a hardworking man from India with all the proper papers, whose restaurant was appreciated throughout the region - was nabbed by Ice 2 months ago. They didn’t care he had all the proper papers. Sadly, he now sits in a detention center in Texas. Our community is so upset. The disdain this admin has for immigrants, black and brown people, women, veterans, the disabled and the poor is so hateful and wrong. Why are we standing for any of this?

As someone else said on Rawstory, Mitch McConnell clearly has rigor tortoise.

Alex hit the nail on the head when she said that a portion of the American public doesn’t care about what happens to immigrants of colour

MAGA: we wouldn’t even let a candidate with issues run! MAGA: I love Ken Paxton!

A credible SA accusation disqualifies a Democratic candidate; it burnishes the qualifications of a Republican candidate.
