[FoxNews] ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones will testify before the House Administration Committee in a potentially explosive hearing Wednesday, as a years-long congressional probe into how the payment processor vets overseas donors comes to a head.
Wallace-Jones’ testimony will be the first time she has publicly addressed the fraud allegations. Hours before the hearing was scheduled to begin, Wallace-Jones announced she would invoke her right against self-incrimination when questioned by lawmakers, in an op-ed for The Washington Post.
Representatives for ActBlue have repeatedly denied making false statements to Congress and have argued the Republican-led probe is politically motivated.
[IsraelTimes] Graham Platner, the anti-Israel progressive who took Maine’s political establishment by storm this spring, has officially prevailed in his state’s Democratic Senate primary.
Multiple news outlets called the race within 90 minutes of the polls closing, with only a fraction of the votes counted.
The victory was seen as a foregone conclusion after Platner’s primary opponent, Governor Janet Mills, suspended her candidacy in late April, saying her campaign could not afford to continue.
Still, the final tally suggested that not all Mainers had embraced the political neophyte whose campaign was dogged by controversies, including the revelation that Platner had a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo on his chest for nearly two decades until he drew criticism for it on the campaign trail. He denied knowing it was a Nazi symbol.
Mills, who remained on the ballot, drew about one in five votes in the first 10% of ballots counted, according to the tally published by The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... The result sets Platner up to face off in November against incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, who has received substantial support from pro-Israel donors. The latest polls suggest a tight race.
"I’m humbled and proud to officially be your Democratic nominee for the US Senate to take on Susan Collins and the billionaire class she represents. Together, we will win this seat back for working Mainers," Platner tweeted on Tuesday night. "Thank you, Maine."
While Democratic leaders officially threw their support behind Platner after Mills halted her campaign, many of them remained circumspect about him. Their balancing act grew more delicate in the final days of the primary race, as Platner drew allegations of antisemitism over his characterization of donations channeled to Collins by the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC and as he faced new allegations of misconduct toward women. (He said he had been a "far from perfect boyfriend" during some periods of his life but denied engaging in misconduct.)
Now, top Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... will have to decide how hard to gun for Platner, who has become a standard-bearer in the party’s anti-Israel shift at a time when the chamber is narrowly divided.
They are already facing pressure to disavow him. "Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is NaN years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... , the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in America, and every Senate Democrat propping up Platner’s campaign, should be ashamed," the Republican Jewish Coalition said in a statement after the polls closed. "Their continued support of Graham Platner, who wore the symbol of Hitler ...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days, sometimes every few hour if it's an election year, as a politician somebody doesn't like... ’s SS on his chest for 18 years is an outrage. Schumer must withdraw his support immediately."
Graham Platner was recruited to run for Senate by a pair of socialist political operatives, Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who determined that another prospective candidate had “a skeleton in the closet.”

It's all about money, to the bulk of them, P2K.
For rank and file Democrats, power is simply a means to removing doubt about infinite income security.
The true believers are just a few at the top, or a few kooks off to the side.

/\ Time for another civil war. I can't be the only 1 who is so sick and goddamd tired of this shit.
The first civil war wasn't entirely about slaves either. The emancipation proclamation applied to states in rebellion, NOT the Northern States. Yes, even then, "it was all about the money."
Red states (conservative states) then, just about the same shade of Red as now. Amazing no ?

We are in the middle of a civil war. We just don’t recognize it because there are no muskets. Right now we have a policy that 80% of Americans approve of being scuttled by the leaders of the party who proposed it as they block nominations from a president of the same party. We already had a coup and jailed non-violent protesters that our government entrapped without trial for years.

A new post-primary National Republican Senatorial Committee memo warns: “it is a fatal mistake to assume Platner is too damaged to win."
The memo tells Republicans not to underestimate Graham Platner, arguing that despite the controversies, he remains a credible threat to Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and could help Democrats flip the seat.
The memo calls Maine the “linchpin” in the Senate fight, with Democrats fully "consolidating" behind Platner despite controversies.
