The heart of the video is the math. Passing anything through the filibuster takes 60 votes, and Hawk argues the SAVE Act, which would end mail-in voting nationwide, cannot get there. Several Republican senators oppose it, in part because millions of Republican voters use mail-in ballots. And Thune does not even have 51 Republican votes to nuke the filibuster, especially with a caucus that has cooled on Trump. Hawk lays out why the relationship has soured. Trump backed primary challengers against Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn and pushed Thom Tillis toward the exit, while Susan Collins faces a tough reelection and Lisa Murkowski keeps her distance. With Lindsey Graham gone and Mitch McConnell unseen for weeks, the working majority is thin. Hawk closes on the irony: a Democratic Senate could use a dead filibuster to add states and seats.

John welcomes Senate savant and Searchlight Institute president Adam Jentleson to discuss the Democrats' fraught path to retaking control of the upper chamber. A former speechwriter for John Kerry and John Edwards, comms director for Harry Reid, and chief of staff to John Fetterman, Jentleson explains Searchlight's mission of breaking the hold of entrenched interest groups on his party; that rejecting litmus tests and embracing ideological heterodoxy are key to building a stable Democratic governing majority; his confidence that, despite Graham Platner's implosion, Susan Collins is going down in Maine; his worries that the blue team will fumble the ball in Michigan; and why “nobody is doing it better now” than Zohran Mamdani.

Troy Jackson has political experience but lacks the charisma Platner brought to the race. Still, Democratic Party delegates are expected to formally nominate Jackson this weekend to challenge Sen. Susan Collins, in a pivotal race that could determine control of the Senate.
In 2026, everyone who follows politics has an opinion about Maine politics. Here's the thing: a lot of people in Maine think they're wrong. So, Sarah talked to a former national political reporter who moved his family to Maine to help stand up a local paper. Former NBC News reporter Alex Seitz-Wald, now deputy editor of the Midcoast Villager, joins to discuss his transition to local journalism, the unique culture of Maine politics, and how Graham Platner's exit from the U.S. Senate race landed with Maine voters. They also size up the new Democratic candidate, Troy Jackson, and discuss why Susan Collins has had such staying power, and how–or whether–her luck might finally run out in 2026.Show notes: The front page on the most recent issue of the Midcoast Villager Sarah's ‘Focus Group' pod NYT profile of the Midcoast Villager Tim's playlist

Troy Jackson has the delegates in Maine, Amish Shah beat the DCCC in Arizona, and Michigan votes August 4. The party endorsement is now a liability.Arizona was the only state holding a primary this month, and it delivered the story of the summer. Amish Shah won the Democratic nomination in Arizona's 1st Congressional District over the candidate the DCCC spent real money to boost. Brian Derrick and Glennis Meagher walk through why this might be happening, from Randy Villegas in California to Matt Dunlap in Maine, and what it means when the national party's blessing starts reading as a potential scarlet letter.Up in Maine, Troy Jackson has locked up the delegates to replace Graham Platner on the ballot against Susan Collins, and he is this week's Oath Candidate of the Week. A fifth generation logger who got into politics organizing his fellow loggers against a Canadian labor swap, Jackson starts from zero with a nominating convention set for July 25. Brian explains why this is one of the rare Senate races where an early contribution actually moves something.Then it's Michigan, where Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed are twelve days from an August 4 primary that has pulled in roughly $50 million in outside spending, including the largest single race investment AIPAC has ever made.

Maine keeps grabbing national attention. First it was the unexpected rise and fall of economic populist Graham Platner, a serious contender for Maine's senate seat. Now begins the race to find a new nominee to run against incumbent Susan Collins, whose own campaign is being marred by the chaotic violence of federal ICE agents, including the tragic killing of a young man. On this month's politics panel, opinion editor Jim Dao talks to writers Abdallah Fayyad and Joan Vennochi about Maine, Iran and bike safety in Boston. Email us at saymore@globe.com.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin got together again, and all was good and proper for about an hour this week. Well, 'ello, Gub'ner! Trump's Andy Biggs will contest gubernatorially against Cindy McCain's Katie Hobbs in Arizona. Dem Francesca Hong has broken into the lead in Wisconsin. Platner replacement Troy Jackson is ahead of Susan Collins for Senator in Maine with a winning message. Authenticity is so crazy, it just might work. It's now a Dem/Gop dead heat for the Senate in the generic… Of course, MAGA is ready to forgive a lot of Gop sins in their candidate, especially when the alternative is a Commie. Too bad Canadians aren't voting. Gops don't want to talk 2020 fraud in 2026, especially when it's their plan for election takeovers in 2028. Everything Trump touches dies. Or it tries to kill us. Or make others want to kill us. Or maybe wish death upon others. Even death is no escape from Trump assholery. Donald K. Trump art of the dealed the Sauds nukes. Maybe they'll give him something really cool. Trump's Iran war has cost $37.5 billion so far, but Pete Hicseth figures he can tie up all the loose ends for about three times that. Speaking of triple, that's how much Donald Trump Jr's investments in Donald Trump Sr.'s pet causes have increased in value in only months. OpenAI's AI facehugged Hugging Face servers, which is not good, man. The New York Times recognizes Denise Oliver-Velez. Larry the Cat knows how to treat the press right.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sticking to his promise to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. Donald Trump fired back, saying no one is going to arrest Netanyahu. BEBE himself also responded to Mamdani. Mark explains that if Mamdani actually tried to arrest Netanyahu, he could face legal trouble himself. Mark also points out that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using a Southern accent when campaigning is normal; many politicians do this, especially those who have run campaigns in the South, so it's not unusual. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. They try to make sense of Senator Susan Collins' argument against Maine voters. Howie suggests Collins might be suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Former Maine senator Troy Jackson is expected to run against Collins, and Howie says both have Democratic-leaning views, which he thinks aren't good for Maine. They two also discuss the latest in Maine politics, including Graham Plattner dropping out of the race. The question comes from Mark: should the voting age be raised to 40 to keep younger politicians like Mamdani out of office? Mark looks at how much you have to earn to be in the top 1% in America; it's less than you'd expect. Miami has now passed New York as one of the most expensive cities to live in. A federal judge has temporarily stopped Paramount from buying Warner Bros. Gasoline prices are up after a spike in oil prices. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. They talked about how writer George Will got too close to the Reagans and how that hurt his reputation. Bill said reporters can run into trouble if they get friendly with politicians. The guy's covered Bill Maher's NPR interview, where Maher ripped NPR for being too left-wing and sparked debate. Bill thought the World Cup went great for the U.S. with no big problems, and said Republicans could win the midterms if they keep the focus on fighting socialism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John talks about Trump attended the World Cup Final in New Jersey, presenting the trophy to the champions and inserting himself repeatedly into all of their celebrations. They, of course, photoshopped him out of most of the pics. Joining him is political strategist Tim Fullerton, who discusses the ongoing Senate race in Maine and the need for Democrats to respect the voices of local voters. They explore the challenges facing Susan Collins and the grassroots energy behind candidate Troy Jackson. Next, he welcomes political influencer Brian Tyler Cohen, who discusses his new book, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World." Brian emphasizes the importance of Democrats not just winning elections but effectively governing and delivering on promises. They explore the necessity of embracing economic populism and the challenges faced by the Democratic Party in a landscape dominated by fear and misinformation. Then finally, John chats with constitutional scholar Professor Corey Brettschneider, who shares insights on the implications of Trump's recent speeches and actions, the importance of local control in elections, and the ongoing threats to democratic norms. They delve into the complexities of the Supreme Court's role in current politics, the potential for court reform, and the ethical concerns surrounding Trump's financial dealings.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The FBI just stopped investigating ICE agent shootings. A border commander confessed he lied under oath. Maine's Senate seat just got very interesting. In this episode: • FBI will no longer investigate when ICE shoots someone — DHS, the agency that employs the shooter, now decides if it was justified • 24 people shot by immigration agents since Trump returned to office, 6 are dead — nearly all were inside vehicles and were not ICE targets • Tom Homan told two lies about body cameras for ICE agents • Border Commander Greg Bovino confessed in federal court that he lied under oath about firing tear gas at peaceful protesters • Johan Durán Guerrero was killed by an ICE agent with a documented history of domestic violence and death threats against women • Maine Senate: Graham Platner is out; Bernie Sanders-endorsed Troy Jackson now likely faces Susan Collins • Trump endorsed Mike Lindell for Minnesota Governor — Lindell is registered to vote in Texas Key figures covered: Tom Homan, Greg Bovino, Johan Durán Guerrero, Troy Jackson, Susan Collins, Graham Platner, Mike Lindell, Donald Trump
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4yvcd4b David Bahnsen reviews a modest down day for markets as Iran tensions and reported American casualties push oil above $80 (ending above $83), with the Dow down ~300, S&P -19 bps, Nasdaq -5 bps, and the 10-year yield at 4.59%; communication services and energy led while healthcare lagged. He cites IPO froth cooling, noting SpaceX below $120 versus a $135 IPO and far off highs. In politics, he highlights Maine's Senate race likely featuring progressive Troy Jackson versus Susan Collins and notes Michigan Democrats consolidating behind Haley Stevens, outlining the difficult map for a Democratic Senate majority. Economically, he underscores the Supreme Court reversal of IEEPA tariffs lowering blended import tariffs from ~11% to ~6–6.5%, while flagging a record 105.8M outside the labor force, soft industrial production, rising import prices, and housing starts driven by multifamily. He previews next week's Fed meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh, balance-sheet maturity shortening, midstream earnings (Kinder Morgan), and answers why shorting stocks is inherently leveraged and generally unsuitable for most investors. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:17 Iran Tensions and Oil 01:24 Market Wrap and Sectors 02:17 IPO Froth Check 03:13 Senate Races Outlook 05:39 Economy Data and Tariffs 07:43 Housing and Fed Preview 09:08 Energy Earnings and Gas 10:01 Ask TBG Short Selling 12:00 Wrap Up and Links Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

What lessons have Democrats learned from the Graham Platner debacle…and what are their chances of finally unseating Senator Susan Collins with a campaign timeline that's evaporating faster than you can say Harris-Walz 2024? Alex Seitz-Wald, deputy editor of The Midcoast Villager in Maine, joins Offline to explain how Platner's scandal-plagued campaign was perceived online vs. on the ground, and why Mainers are done with people who are “from away.”For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Months before Graham Platner ended his campaign, EMILY's List publicly warned Democrats that nominating him would make it harder—not easier—to defeat Senator Susan Collins. In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Jessica Mackler, president of EMILY's List, to discuss what the organization knew at the time, why it believed Platner was the wrong candidate to take on Collins, and what this series of events reveals about candidate vetting, electability, and the growing influence of "vibes-based" politics. Their conversation explores: Why EMILY's List took the unusual step of speaking out during a Democratic primary. The difference between a candidate being "human" and being disqualifying. How political media and online echo chambers can manufacture momentum around a candidate. Why women candidates continue to face different standards than men. What Democrats should learn from the Maine Senate race heading into the 2026 midterms. The Margin is a special midterm election series from The Electorette and URL Media, hosted by Jen Taylor-Skinner.

Jen Psaki shows the inherent conflict of trying to stay in Donald Trump's good graces while also showing a panel of Senators that your are honest and forthright and will act in the interest of the American people. Jay Claton, Trump's nominee to be Director of National Intelligence, and Todd Blanche, Trump's criminal defense attorney and nominee for Attorney General, both struggled through awkward Senate confirmation hearings in which the things they couldn't say spoke volumes about how (and who) they'll serve if they're confirmed. Senator Adam Schiff talks with Jen Psaki about why Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney has not been convincing in confirmation hearings to be attorney general that he is not still in service to Donald Trump and can perform in the role of leader of the Justice Department in a way that serves the American people. MS NOW's David Rohde and former CIA Director John Brennan talk with Jen about expectations for Donald Trump's Thursday address to the nation and the election conspiracy theories that still consume his thoughts. Devon Murphy-Anderson, executive director of the Maine Democratic Party, discusses the party's plans for replacing Graham Platner on the ballot in the race against Susan Collins for Senate, and how the recent deadly ICE shooting in Maine has added fuel to already motivated Democratic voters.

Last week on Fox News guests and hosts alike seemed to all come up with the exact same conspiracy theory about the Democratic Party and control of the U.S. Senate.According to the Fox News narrative party leaders decided to pick a deeply flawed yet charismatic blue collar oyster farmer, Graham Platner, to run for the U.S. Senate in Maine. The second he started to dip in the polls the Democratic machine convinced one of his ex-girlfriends to tell the press that Graham sexually assaulted her.When Platner dropped out of the race the Democratic establishment would replace him with their preferred candidate - someone less radical and more likely to defeat Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who has represented Maine in the U.S. Senate for over 29 years.Did this theory make any sense? No, but that wasn't going to stop anyone at Fox from promoting it. Platner's many shortcomings and disastrous personal life was somehow all part of the master plan to disenfranchise voters and sneak in a new candidate at the last minute to run against a well-funded incumbent.Also last week as more evidence came out during the preliminary hearing for the suspect in the murder of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk the network lambasted opportunistic un-named podcasters and pundits who knowingly promoted false stories about his death.So, Fox News, the same network that pushed elaborate fabrications about the 2020 election, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden family, the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, undocumented immigrants, and the World Economic Forum was suddenly outraged about conspiracy theories.All irony is dead on Fox News.Other major stories on the network last week included:* The new red scare - the communist takeover of the United States* Trump's intervention into a red card call at the World Cup* The war in Iran (the network's least favorite subject) This is a public episode.

In a shocking turn of events, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has temporarily halted most traffic stop arrests in the wake of recent fatal shootings. But is this move a necessary step to prevent further violence, or a misguided attempt to appease the left? This episode delves into the complexities of the issue, exploring the root causes of the problem and the motivations behind the left's reaction. The speaker argues that the left's open borders policy and lack of cooperation with local law enforcement are major contributors to the tensions between ICE agents and the communities they serve. By not allowing ICE to do its job, the left is essentially putting both the agents and the public in harm's way. The speaker also highlights the importance of understanding the reality of vehicles as weapons and the need for ICE agents to be trained to handle high-pressure situations. The conversation touches on the recent incidents in Maine and Houston, where ICE agents were involved in fatal shootings, and the subsequent reactions from local officials and immigrant rights groups. The speaker also discusses the role of politicians like Senator Susan Collins, who has called for an independent investigation into the shooting in Biddeford, Maine. If you're concerned about the state of our immigration system and the impact of the left's policies on public safety, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's thought-provoking analysis and insights.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the recent testimonies of U.S. Supreme Court justices over threats they face, Maine Democrats racing to find a replacement nominee for Graham Platner, DEI policy's reverse discrimination effects, and a new congressional bill requiring lawmakers to disclose extended absences to the public.First, Jim and Greg react to SCOTUS Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan testifying in Congress and raising concerns over their security. Barrett had to wear a bulletproof vest after the decision to reverse Roe v. Wade was leaked and her family was targeted in a swatting attempt. Jim argues that conservative justices are particularly targeted in acts carried out by radicals on the left.Next, they cover the scramble by Maine Democrats to find a Senate nominee to run against Sen. Susan Collins. On July 25, 601 Democrats will vote for potential candidates. And the whole process must be over a week from Saturday. Jim and Greg explain how this process is pathetic.Then, Jim and Greg blast the obvious discrimination effects from DEI policy, affecting whites and Asian Americans, as well as blacks and Hispanics. They point to yesterday's testimony from Inez Stepman of Independent Women (and a frequent 3 Martini Lunch guest host, who said we should “judge by merit, not by immutable characteristics.”Finally, they address New York Rep. Ritchie Torres's proposed Duty of Transparency Act, which would mandate Congress members “to give constituents timely notice of an extended absence from voting.” In light of prolonged absences for members of Congress who failed to adequately disclose reasons for their absences, Jim and Greg say this bill is headed in the right direction.

As the High Court justices are requesting millions of dollars for 6 extra security/safety guards each, America's reaction is divided. The court wants protection from its own decisions? Or from the woke crazy that has been allowed to fester and threaten people on the right they don't agree with? Senator Susan Collins calls out Chuck Schumer for inciting violence against the Supremes. Jack Smith illegally spied on 44 lawmakers' text messages... and LIED ABOUT it under oath. A tranny moves to the Netherlands because he feels unsafe in America only to find out 2,000 Muslims have relocated to his new community. Guess who's coming back home?
