Summary
First up: Maine Democrats thought they had their progressive hero in Graham Platner, oyster farmer, veteran, and the guy who somehow survived every earlier scandal only to clinch the Senate nomination. Now, fresh sexual assault allegations have the entire party in full panic mode. Then we roll into the Twin Cities, where Somali gangs are making headlines again with violence, shootings, and turf issues that law enforcement has been tracking for years. But heaven forbid anyone point it out too loudly, that would be inconvenient for the narrative. And finally, a public service announcement from Gumption County: American buildings should not collapse. Or buckle.
