    Janet Mills' Senate bid in Maine is effectively over — not that it really got off the ground in the first place. She was supposed to be the top-tier recruit, the popular governor-turned-candidate Chuck Schumer believed could finally take down Susan Collins in a state that otherwise leans blue. Instead, she spent the entire race trailing Graham Plattner who, on paper, should've been far easier to beat. It didn't matter what opposition research came out about him or how aggressively it was pushed. None of it stuck, and Mills never found a way to change the trajectory.What stands out is how little impact the traditional playbook had. There was plenty of money, plenty of ads, and a clear attempt to define Plattner early. But the race didn't move. If anything, it exposed a growing gap between campaign strategy and voter behavior. Mills relied heavily on air support, while Plattner was everywhere in person, constantly holding events and staying visible. That contrast ended up mattering more than anything that showed up in a negative ad.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.There's also a broader lesson here about what kind of campaigning is working right now. The candidates who seem to break through are the ones who are constantly engaging, constantly talking, and constantly generating new moments. It's less about message discipline and more about presence. Plattner fits that mold, and Mills never really did. She couldn't match that energy, and in a race like this, that gap becomes impossible to ignore.Now the dynamic shifts to the general election, where Susan Collins gets a matchup she likely prefers. She can run as the steady, familiar option against a more unpredictable opponent, which has been her formula for years. But there's some risk in that calculation. Wanting a specific opponent doesn't always work out the way you expect, and recent political history has a few high profile reminders of that.Still, the immediate takeaway is simple. A highly recruited, well funded candidate lost to someone who just outworked and out-connected her. For all the sophistication in modern campaigns, this ended up being a very basic result. One candidate showed up everywhere, and the other never quite got going.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:01 - Janet Mills00:08:17 - Michael Cohen on Maine, Texas, and More00:58:58 - Iran Options01:04:58 - DHS Shutdown01:06:31 - Casey Means01:08:54 - Sarah Isgur on Supreme Court Drama01:40:05 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

    Secretary of War Pete Hegseth walked into a combative hearing and didn’t back down. Instead of absorbing attacks from Democrat lawmakers, he went on offense, calling out rhetoric he says weakens America on the world stage. In a tense back-and-forth, Hegseth made it clear: projecting doubt about U.S. strength only empowers our enemies. But the bigger moment? He exposed what he framed as a troubling mindset—members of Congress more focused on tearing down America than standing up for it.

    “Mingy” is a useful word. It merges stingy with mean, pretty well summing up the prevailing ethic of today's corporate bosses.Take mingy CEOs of multibillion-dollar powerhouses like Amazon and 7-Eleven. They've been refusing to accommodate even the simplest needs of – get this – their pregnant employees.As the New York Times reports, women who're heavy with child can suffer acute health crises if they're on their feet too long. For example, a pregnant Amazon warehouse worker in upstate New York became breathless and lightheaded, so her doctor told her to work sitting down periodically. She got a chair and felt better. But uh-uh, an Amazon manager took her chair away and insisted she stand! This caused her to be hospitalized several times. Then, Amazon fired her for having too many medical absences.Or take the 27-year-old pregnant check-out clerk at Speedway, the gas station chain owned by 7-Eleven. To ease the strain of standing for hours, she was allowed to sit on some milk crates as she worked the counter. No, barked higher-ups, who took her crates away. She soon had a pregnancy emergency, and her doctor told her not to work for several days. So, Speedway put her on “involuntary unpaid leave.” But, technically she wasn't fired, so the corporate giant prevented her from getting unemployment pay.This is corporate assault, targeting women in low-wage jobs. It's so common that Congress had to pass a law, the “Pregnant Workers Fairness Act,” to say: Stop it! But it hasn't stopped, for Trump officials are not eager to punish multimillion-dollar corporate bosses. But that raises the fundamental ethical question: Why don't bosses stop themselves?Have I mentioned that “boss,” spelled backwards, is double-S-O-B?Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

    Trump's War in Iran Nears Critical Deadline

    When President Trump sent troops into Iran, he did so without a green light from Congress. Now he faces a deadline on May 1 to either end the war in Iran or secure official approval from Congress. That timeline is laid out under the War Powers Resolution, a law that allows presidents to start wars without congressional approval. Democrats in Congress have tried and failed to pass multiple resolutions to halt the war. Meanwhile, the war is losing support from Republican lawmakers, who have not proposed a vote to approve it. We talk about the war in Iran, lawmakers' efforts to stop it so far, and whether the Trump administration is feeling any pressure from the 60-day deadline.

Gov Moore on Open Primaries.  A real king is in Washington this week, and the wannabe king in the Oval Office is making the most of the pomp. Paul Rieckhoff opens with King Charles and Camilla's visit, the Epstein questions nobody at the White House wants to touch, and the through-line that drives this entire briefing: Trump is busting up Congress, the UN, NATO, the World Bank, the EU, and now OPEC — and the institutions that held this country and this world together are being stress-tested in real time. Gas hits $4.18, the UAE bolts from the cartel, 1,100 TSA officers walk off the job, and most Americans have no idea any of it is happening. From there it's a no-BS sweep across the front lines: a $400 million ballroom funded by your tax dollars after Trump promised to pay himself, a no-bid contract inflated 3X, Pete Hegseth taking Kid Rock on Apache joyrides while the chain of command rots, the FCC weaponized against ABC and Jimmy Kimmel, a renewed indictment push against Jim Comey over seashells on a beach, and 185 people killed in 54 unauthorized strikes on so-called narco boats with Cuba telegraphed as next.
