Two very different choices:
Janet Mills: a proven, two-term governor and steady Democratic leader
Graham Platner: an outsider with momentum… and real controversies that could become a general election problem
And right now? The outsider is leading.
What happens here won’t stay in Maine.
This is a Democratic primary everyone should be watching.
In June, Maine Democrats have to decide what kind of party they want to be…before they ever get to Susan Collins.
…is leading her by 30 points, and is dogged by controversy. Matt Prichard and I break down why this race matters to every voter in America, not just Maine. @Issue: The 2026 Midterms

SUSAN COLLINS HAS HELD THIS SENATE SEAT SINCE 1997. Democrats think 2026 is finally the year. But first they have to choose between two-term Gov. Janet Mills, the establishment pick, and Graham Platner, a combat veteran and oyster farmer who has never run for office…
Maude honoring 250 years of history & the arrival of spring in Roxbury’s Fort Hill, home to the First Church in Roxbury, where William Dawes began his midnight ride that helped spark the American Revolution. The flowers are budding. Democracy, on the other hand, could use a little tending.
A protest. A grandmother. An inflatable penis costume. An arrest that went viral.
In Alabama, a grandmother was taken to the ground and charged after showing up in a provocative outfit with a political message.

President Trump says Pope Leo sounds like a progressive.
So let’s test that.
Do these quotes come from a modern progressive… or from Jesus in the New Testament?

The President fighting the Pope.
An AI Jesus image.
And an Easter message that ended with “Praise be to Allah.”
This story is real — and the history behind it goes back centuries.
What do you think is actually happening here?

Two years ago, I leased a car.
That required 24 hours of research. Seven dealership visits. Three separate meetings with the dealer I chose. Two days of in-person negotiations.
So maybe, just maybe, the Trump administration's plan to end a 47-year war in 24 hours was a little optimistic.
A surprise White House statement just reignited the Epstein scandal.
Melania Trump stepped to a podium and said:
• She was never friends with Epstein
• She was never a victim
• Epstein didn’t introduce her to Donald Trump

Explaining the 25th Amendment, impeachment, and why both are almost impossible to use.
Do you think the Constitution still has enough safeguards?

My analysis:
President Donald Trump was looking for an off-ramp, and he appears to have gotten it after threatening the “whole civilization” of Iran.
