While there are a LOT of people who created the fiasco in Maine and blaming any one person/group for it exclusively lets people off the hook who shouldn't be, horrible judgement by Schumer and the DSCC is right up there with the horrible judgment shown by national pundits and Maine voters alike.
Darrell Lucus@darrelllucus.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve drawn a lot of hackles for saying Chuck Schumer set the stage for the current fiasco in Maine. Now there’s proof. A solid candidate was ready to jump in until the DSCC told him not to—because it was betting the house on Janet Mills.

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.
this is what is insane abt this case and these sentences. this isn't a sandwich throw. real violence happened here. a cop got shot. but by framing the protest as a conspiracy people who literally were uninvolved in the violence got de facto life sentences

Whether it's Republicans lying about the LA mayor election, or lying about screwworm, or using AI to lie about James Talarico, the Democratic instinct is to correct the record, condemn the attack and move on. It should be to weave a story about the opposition's putrid, morally corrosive dishonesty.
