Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer takes $1,727,974 from AIPAC

Senator Susan Collins of Maine $646,758 she has received from AIPAC.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is still intensely focused on ousting Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, despite divisions in his caucus over her opponent, Graham Platner, Semafor’s Burgess Everett reports off a new interview with Schumer. “We’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the majority,” Schumer said, ticking off three reasons why he thinks Collins will lose: Medicaid cuts hitting Maine, her handling of President Donald Trump, and resentment over the end of Roe v. Wade. Collins told Semafor separately she’s seen this before — and won: “We heard the same song six years ago, exactly.” And she praised the Democrats who aren’t backing Platner: “That shows discernment, integrity, and wisdom on their part.” Schumer made sure to widen his path to the majority to six seats, and offered up a new catchphrase about Trump’s second midterm: “Costs, chaos and corruption.”

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
