Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 11h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

1/ In yet another attack on #scientificintegrity and our health, EPA leadership is preventing scientists in the Office of Water from publishing research until they undergo review by political appointees.

EPA tells some scientists to stop publishing studies, employees say

Staff from the EPA’s Office of Water were summoned to a town hall meeting this week and told to pause the publication of most research, pending a review.

A YES vote means California will temporarily use new Congressional maps drawn by Democratic state officials to elect Congressional reps in 2026, 28, & 30.

It isn’t just about maps.
Your vote determines who acts on your behalf in 2026 & beyond.

My wife and I just submited our Yes votes!
It's an off year election where fewer votes are cast. When usually Republicans turn out and Democrats usually don't!

This year Democrats must VOTE to stop the GOP from stealing the 2026 midterms and creating a Trump driven overthrow of our Democracy!
