Graham Platner's shady treatment of women and even shadier taste in body art reek of 'progressive' hypocrisy.
Democrats are approaching what could be their most wide-open presidential primary in decades, but I'd venture a confident prediction today: one of the two Georgia senators will be on the party's ticket in 2028.
In short order, a fresh crop of candidate will be vying for our votes for the right to face the GOP presidential nominee. Here's what we'll be asking in return.

Trump endorsed far-right candidate Abelardo De La Espriella, who has pledged to “disembowel the left.”
A group of Democratic members of the US Congress on Friday condemned President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers’ attempts to influence the results of Colombia’s upcoming presidential runoff, calling it an “insult” to the Colombian people’s sovereignty.“We see actions by US President Donald Trump and other members of Congress to endorse, advocate for, or otherwise tip the scales to a particular candidate as detrimental to the democratic rights of the Colombian people,” said the lawmakers, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.). “The future of Colombia must be decided by the Colombian people—not American politicians with their own agenda.”The statement came days after Trump publicly injected himself into Colombia’s presidential contest by endorsing far-right candidate Abelardo De La Espriella, a 47-year-old defense lawyer who has pledged to “disembowel the left.”“The results of this Election are very important to the future of Colombia and its relationship to the United States,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier this month. “Because of his tremendous accomplishments in life, and his political support for me, personally, it is my Honor to give Abelardo my Complete and Total Endorsement.”The US president said that if De la Espriella wins, he “will have the total support and strength of the United States behind him.”The Center for Economic and Policy Research noted that “the implicit threat in Trump’s endorsement of De la Espriella is that Colombians will be punished—through reduced aid, tariffs, sanctions, etc.—if they vote for a political leader not backed by the United States.”Two Republican lawmakers, Rep. María Salazar of Florida and Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, have also endorsed De la Espriella. The New York Times reported that “before Mr. Trump posted his full-throated endorsement of Mr. De La Espriella, Mr. Moreno held a call with reporters in which he said US officials had ‘vetted’ Mr. De La Espriella and found him to be ‘impeccable.’”De la Espriella will face leftist Sen. Iván Cepeda, an ally of incumbent President Gustavo Petro, in the June 21 presidential runoff.Petro has criticized his US counterpart for meddling in Colombia’s presidential race, urging Trump in a recent social media post to “not intervene in the campaign and allow the people of Colombia to decide freely.”“Whoever wins will maintain the friendship of more than two centuries between Colombia and the US,” Petro added.Earlier this week, Petro planned to meet with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during the Colombian leader’s trip to the US, but “the Trump administration effectively nixed it in a behind-the-scenes effort,” The Washington Post reported.“The Colombian government quietly called off the event following a meeting between US and Colombian officials in Bogotá in which State Department officials made clear that this week’s engagement was unacceptable, a move Colombian officials interpreted as a threat to arrest Petro on site if he proceeded,” the newspaper revealed. “A State Department official told The Washington Post that the visit would violate visa restrictions the US imposed against Petro following his comments last year criticizing US support of Israel’s war in Gaza and imploring US soldiers to disobey presidential orders to kill.”
