We have a deal? Been down that road over 37 times. No one is holding their breath. Trump needs a deal and the Iranians know it. He can't sustain this war politically at home. Gas prices are rising, Democrats are up 10 points in the generic ballot, his approval is stuck in the mid-30s, and even Republicans are breaking with him. Meanwhile, Iran has been rearming and rebuilding far faster than predicted. We’re cornered.

The race is Maine is about change — just like races all over the country. The facts are that Susan Collins votes with Trump 95% of the time, backs his judicial nominees, and then campaigns as an independent voice. That's exactly the disconnect fueling voter frustration across the country and why Democratic voters can get behind Graham Platner. And here's the irony: Republicans attacking their opponent over personal scandals are using the same attacks they spent years dismissing when it came to Trump. It’s embarrassing.

Democrats are making something clear: if concerns about a candidate are legitimate, they should be addressed. But we are not going to be lectured by the party of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, or other Republicans who have been accused of things like putting boiling water on their wives during a fight. Dismissing the allegations against Platner is a mistake. But the NYT left the door wide open to the argument that Platner’s ex girlfriend is politically motivated. Heritage Foundation, Independent Women, Ladies for Kavanaugh. Ultimately, what we think in NYC and DC doesn’t matter. Maine voters aren’t terminally online. They like his platform - it may be enough!

There are Democrats who have concerns about Platner, but the idea that we’ll be lectured by folks that support Donald Trump and want Texans to choose Ken Paxton is ludicrous. The man’s wife left him on biblical grounds! Mainers know who Platner is and chose him anyway. They want to win that seat and think Platner is best suited to do it.

The MAGA victory lap on getting Massie out when they had to spend 35 million and won by 10 in a Trump 35 district seems misguided. Trump has a 34% approval rating. He’s -18 with Independents and Democrats are up 11 for the midterms. Plus, he just endorsed Ken Paxton who is so bad even his own party impeached him. Plus, Trump’s campaign platform boils down to I don’t care about your finances, I’m going to trade stocks and make billions, use your money to pay J6ers, and get immunity from an audit for me and my family in perpetuity. I think Democrats can work with that.

I know it’s Texas, but with Texans facing high costs and losing their healthcare, a GOP campaign that’s about calling Talarico low T isn’t meeting the moment. Even forcing the Republicans to spend 50-100m to defend a red state is a win. Paxton is a uniquely bad candidate, which is why the GOP spent so much against him. Impeached by his own party, charged with securities fraud, bribes, affairs. The real concern is Talarico’s girlfriend? Come on.

Stop pretending this is about cracking down on fraud when Trump literally let people who stole hundreds of millions in Medicare and Medicaid money walk free. One guy stole $1.3 billion and served 14 months of a 20-year sentence. When a reporter asked the DOJ about it, they refused to answer. That’s the hypocrisy people are angry about. Republicans want to talk tough on fraud while protecting the biggest fraudsters when they’re politically connected. If fraud is wrong, then it should be wrong for everyone.

Donald Trump needs a midterms deal more than a nuclear deal and whatever happens in the next few days should be understood in that context. It’s why he is about to give Iran a ton of money to save face as Trump’s approval ratings are as low as ever, gas is 4.50, and our farmers are begging for fertilizer. And it’s pretty clear that Iran no longer believes Trump when he threatens them. Too many tweets and too much punting. It’s a mess that this President can’t get out of.

Republicans can mock the No Kings protests all the want, but the reality is it just grew from 6 million to 8 million people in a few months. 3,300 rallies in all 50 states, many in suburbs and small towns. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. A record 36 are retiring early. Donald Trump is sitting around 40% approval at best, closer to the low 30s by some measures. When a president is under 50%, their party historically loses an average of 34 seats in Congress. Democrats only need a handful of seats. The energy is real and it is growing.

Republicans are lying to the American people when they say the SAVE Act is a voter ID law—it’s a proof-of-citizenship requirement that would make voting harder, if not impossible, for a lot of people. Passports are expensive, documents don’t always match, and the process can be a mess (been there). We should be making voting easier, not adding more hurdles. Democrats can own this by proposing their own bill that accepts a range of IDs, and includes automatic voter registration and Election Day as a national holiday for starters.

China understands Trump better than Washington does. Give him the red carpet, the fanfare, the strongman treatment, and suddenly “America First” turns into deal-making season. China has several cards to play. From soybeans to semiconductor chips to leverage with the Iranians, there are minefields everywhere for Trump.

Trump on the campaign trail is music to the Democrats ears. Bring on his talk of the affordability hoax, the cognitive test they give to people who have had traumatic brain injuries, and that we have the hottest economy in the world. Trump is cratering support with key demographics: republicans, non-MAGA GOP, white voters, rural voters. Democrats are winning election after election. Rob Sand may be the governor of Iowa! Greg Abbott says behind closed doors that a Democrat could win statewide. And even folks like Josh Hawley admit there are no GOP accomplishments to speak of. A Republican campaign built on maligning Americans’ cost of living concerns, a vanity ballroom, and a slush fund for criminals is a loser.

‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling. Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California. Democrats support a national gerrymandering ban. Republicans would be wise to support it before this gets even uglier.

The Trump administration says it is going to go after fraud. It should redirect its attention to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Everything is a scam to get richer. He’s made $3 billion since coming back into office!

The ceasefire was a complete fiction. While the White House announced one, missiles were still flying across Israel, Iran, and Lebanon. Reality doesn’t match the headline. The White House was forced to backtrack today because the proposed “10-point deal” from Iran was a disaster that would let them enrich uranium, fund proxies like Hezbollah, maintain leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, and get sanctions relief. Even top allies like Mark Levin and Larry Kudlow are calling it a disaster. Let’s be honest about how we got here: there was never an imminent threat to the U.S. Now we’re stuck in it, negotiating from a weakened position.

I get why Republicans want to spike the football after last night, but winning 5 of 7 races in a state Trump won by 19 points is not exactly some massive political realignment. Especially when: • Trump’s approval is in the low 30s • Cost of living approval is at 25% • Economic anxiety is basically at record highs • Democrats are up +10 on the generic ballot • Even the Iran war is polling worse than Vietnam If this is the big victory lap, you might be missing what voters are actually upset about right now.

Americans are proud of the team bringing home the gold medal. What diminishes that moment is seeing it turned into a political sideshow, with a president joking about whether to invite the women’s team and an FBI director posing with beers as though he earned a spot on the ice, all funded by taxpayers. It takes away from the athletes’ achievement and frankly feels embarrassing.

Dismissing AOC for talking about the rich in terms that a majority of Americans agree with is a mistake. The idea that the system is rigged to benefit the rich and that the working class up to the middle-class cannot get ahead is one of the most salient political arguments. Trump used to make it himself! Then gamed the system for himself and his friends - including the fraudsters he’s pardoned - of course.

Watching the victory lap on our blockade of the blockade is something to behold. We moved the goalposts, downgraded to “skinny goals,” and now Trump is packaging that as a huge win. We asked Iran for 20 years of no enrichment and they’re offering 5. Our time is spent containing a crisis we helped create in the first place. And the messaging? All over the place. One minute their nuclear program is “obliterated,” the next it’s weeks away from multiple bombs. Which is it? And if we walk away now, we’re not getting regime change—we’re leaving behind a more hardened, more extreme leadership than before.

If I am the Republicans, I am not celebrating right now. Mike Johnson knows how bleak it is. Their signature legislation has a -29 rating and they’re about to shut down the government to avoid saving Americans’ healthcare. Trump may be popular at the Ryder Cup, but not with voters.
