"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

In an interview with @semafor.com, Janet Mills doesn't outright say she'd side with #MESen Angus King and vote for the GOP's funding bill, but she comes close.

(The only other Dem senators who've done so are John Fetterman and Catherine Cortez Masto)

www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

In her interview with Semafor, the governor criticized the dysfunction that led to the shutdown and the lack of a plan to revive expiring health care tax credits. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, and Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, are among the few Democratic caucus members who have joined Republicans in voting for the House’s stopgap funding bill.

Mills did not say directly whether she would join them.

She replied that “it isn’t rocket science to be able to do at least a continuing resolution and preserve health care, preserve the tax credits on which thousands of Maine people rely for their health insurance. I think they can do both.”

“I would vote for continuing health care. I would vote to extend the tax credits, whether it’s a separate bill or part of the current negotiations to extend the continuing resolution. But I think it’s strangely dysfunctional that Congress and the White House can’t get this done,” Mills added.

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Whereas Harris told MSNBC that she believes whether or not Israel has committed genocide is a fair and honest question to ask, Cory Booker explicitly said to the "I've Had it" podcast that he thinks addressing the question of whether Netanyahu has committed crimes would undermine resolving conflict.

Maine is also ranked choice voting so if Mills doesn’t win 50% in first round she’s toast

I hope the strategy is 2get into November so that everyone sees their insurance premiums go up .(my household went up $3600 a year for private insurance) . go long enough that November pay checks are issued . Safe guard authoritarianism but let the full consequences of Republican healthcare happen

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

3/ The Senate keeps voting on 2 bills to reopen.

1. The GOP bill - it raises premiums on 22m Americans and lets Trump keep acting illegally.

2. The Dem bill - it stops the premium increases and checks Trump's illegality.

Each time, neither bill gets the necessary 60 votes.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
