Graham Platner is exciting in how he checks so many boxes that might be just what the Democrats need to take a seat away from Sen. Susan Collins.

He clearly has some dark recesses in his mind, and he could come back to haunt all of us in ways that aren't yet clear.

June Lockhart of "Lost In Space" and "Lassie" fame has died at 100.

This is her in 1970 pushing back on homophobia. Which was a big deal not just because it was taboo back then, but also because Lockhart was America's quintessential mother on TV at the time.

Many veterans understand that whatever they were once in battle for, it was not to enable masked thugs of the federal government to attack law-abiding citizens and detain them without due process.

They allegedly hate pedophiles, but it's their side that's riddled with them.

The scream "voter fraud!" every chance they get, but so far it's overwhelmingly Republicans who commit voter fraud.

Funny how that works.

This GOP gubernatorial candidate from Wisconsin, running on a pro-Trump "family values" platform, had secret online accounts exploring polyamory and a trans porn star named Jiz Lee. (I almost spit out my cereal reading that.)
