The hits keep coming. On Saturday, Swalwell's own campaign and congressional staff released a statement condemning him.

That same month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was up in arms about Pete Hegseth's Jerusalem Cross tattoo, endorsed Platner, as did Sen. Bernie Sanders. Platner tried to backtrack on his apology for getting the Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo, insisting it was an "eminently reasonable skull-and-crossbones" tattoo.]]>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 22:00:36 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[CBS News]]><![CDATA[Maine]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Graham Platner]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/11/graham-platner-i-came-out-of-a-hyper-masculine-hyper-violent-place-when-he-left-the-military-n2427037<![CDATA[It was February when a troupe of dancers reenacted the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in front of the Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

We thought it was odd that the town of Siembra would have a Defense Manager, but it turns out Siembra NC is an organization "born in 2017 in response to Trump’s war on immigrants and the gap in support and resources for the broader Latine community in North Carolina."

We checked the text of the First Amendment, and we didn't see anywhere where the Constitution requires the people to fund state media through taxes. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss is too late: Congress already defunded them. “It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch,” wrote Moss, a Barack Obama appointee.]]>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:00:03 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[NPR]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/11/nprs-podcast-on-race-does-an-episode-on-mar-a-lago-face-n2427048<![CDATA[Two of the worst people in America 'streamed' together last night.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 19:30:05 -0400<![CDATA[justmindy]]><![CDATA[Congress]]><![CDATA[Ilhan Omar]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/04/11/ilhan-omar-and-hasan-piker-streamed-together-n2427049<![CDATA[Daniel Haqiqatjou describes himself in his X bio as a Muslim and a writer and lecturer on Islam and modernity.
