The Democrats in Maine have got to pick a new candidate to replace Platner by July 27th. As we’ve learned from Kamala Harris, replacing a candidate this late is hard – but, Harris carried Maine by 7 points in 2024, the Democratic candidate for governor there leads by 15 points, and Susan Collins’ approval rating is negative. So, what chance does new Democratic candidate have to defeat Collins? Harold Meyerson comments.
Also: Jamie Raskin, Democrat from Maryland, talks about Congress reforming the Supreme Court, and the House challenging Trump’s corruption. His article in the current issue of The Nation magazine is “We Must Restore Congress as the Predominant Branch of Government.”
Plus: The Court ended Temporary Protected Status, TPS, for Haitians (and others), but that does not mean deportations will begin immediately. Instead most of those with TPS will be given an opportunity to contest a deportation order or apply for remaining on a different basis. Amy Wilentz comments on the current responses in New York City, Miami, Springfield, Ohio, and in Congress. 7-10-2026
