Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) responded to a recent report in the New York Times, in which several ex-girlfriends of Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D-ME) described his "unsettling" behavior. Collins called the allegations against Platner "troubling."

House Democrat Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania appeared on CNN today and said that Graham ‘Nazi tattoo’ Platner has ‘disqualified’ himself for the U.S. Senate race in Maine. She’s right. Platner is a walking disaster area, engulfed in scandals, and no one even believes the horrible stories about him are over. Everyone is waiting for yet another shoe to drop on him.
It’s just amazing to watch as other Democrats and liberals in media continue defending this guy.
Good for Rep. Dean for speaking the truth.
The Hill reports:
House Democrat says Platner has ‘disqualified himself’ from Maine Senate race
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) said Friday that she believes Democrat Graham Platner has “disqualified himself” from the Maine Senate race amid a series of escalating allegations about his past behavior toward women.
“I think it’s so distressing, all of the stories that are coming out, and they’re more and more it seems by the hour,” Dean told CNN’s Boris Sanchez during an interview. “I’m not a voter in Maine, but he has disqualified himself in my eyes.”
Platner, a progressive oyster farmer hoping to unseat Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), has been embroiled in controversy since the early days of his campaign. And new scandals emerging this week have threatened to derail his primary bid further, just days before voters go to the polls.
Several of Platner’s former girlfriends made troubling allegations against him in interviews with The New York Times on Thursday, including one who described his past behavior as “unsettling” and another who said he could be physically rough with her at times.

Here we go again.
If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.
The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?
NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.
REPORTER: Why would those votes, we don’t know what they’re gonna be, but why would the mail-in votes, the later votes, break for Raman, possibly?
STEVE KORNACKI: Because that is the pattern in California with this system. We’ve seen this now probably for about a decade out there. It’s those votes that get tabulated after election day, they tend to be almost always or heavily, heavily Democratic. We’ve seen this in congressional races in California now over the last decade or so where on election night, we’ve had cases where, a number of them where the Republican candidate is ahead on election night and then it’s a process over days, sometimes even weeks in these key congressional races where just with every one of the updates like the one you just saw right here in LA, the Democrats get closer and closer and closer.
Watch the video below:

If you believe Democrats and the media, you probably think that Graham Platner of Maine is a genuine, blue-collar, oyster fisherman who decided to run for U.S. Senate and has run a grassroots campaign.
That is not the truth. His entire candidacy is based on a lie.
Graham Platner was recruited to run for office by a young, wealthy couple who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and this is what they do. They have recruited and groomed candidates in the past in the same exact way.
When they first approached Graham Platner, he didn’t even want to do it. They had to convince him.
The New York Post reports:
Meet the champagne socialist duo who groomed rich kid Graham Platner into a ‘working-class’ candidate
Graham Platner has done a better job of hiding his privileged roots than the Nazi tattoo on his chest — a move which is by design.
The embattled Maine candidate for US Senate is vocal about his disabled-war-veteran, rugged-oyster-farmer, “working-class” persona — and less so about his attendance at an $80,000-a-year boarding school, his lawyer father, or his major architect grandfather.
That’s because he’s been coached on how to present himself, molded to present a specific image — and, in a sense, manufactured.
The truth is he was discovered and coached by a pair of Ivy League-educated radical Democratic socialists, replicating a playbook they’ve used in Nebraska and Iowa. That revelation could be more damaging than the tattoo, sexting women other than his wife, blasting fellow veterans and admitting to masturbating in a port-a-potty, as it strikes at the heart of Platner’s alleged authenticity…
That under-the-radar team are a couple, Yale Law School grad Daniel Moraff and his fiancée, Leanne Fan, an academic with stints at Harvard and the proudly radical University of California-Berkeley.
The pair had originally met while working for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and are hardcore members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). They have previously been behind candidates Dan Osborn, running for Senate in Nebraska, and Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), a member of the Keystone State congressional delegation since 2023 and part of the DSA “Squad,” alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
Platner actually admitted this to Jon Stewart during an interview in April.
From TAG 24:
“Last summer, end of July, some people came to my house,” Platner told Stewart while discussing his decision to run for office. “They had been in Maine for a few months… looking for someone to run for US Senate against Susan Collins.”
“They were looking specifically for, like, a kind of working class person on, kind of, working class economic policies,” he continued…
“Yep! And then they looked me up, and they saw that I donated to Bernie Sanders, and they were like ‘Oh!'” Platner continued. “They literally came to my house and said, ‘We think you should run.'”
DO you remember the episode of the Brady Bunch where a pair of record producers want to turn Greg Brady into a rock star named ‘Johnny Bravo’ just because the ‘Johnny Bravo’ suit they bought fits him perfectly? This is no different.
Graham Platner is the Johnny Bravo of politics.

Democrats in the New York legislature have just passed a bill related to child custody laws that changes words like ‘mother and father’ to ‘gestating parent’ and ‘non-gestating parent.’
They claim this is necessary because of LGBT parents and other non-traditional couples.
It’s beyond George Orwell. Language like this sucks all the humanity out of important words, and it almost seems like that is the goal.
Governor Kathy Hochul has not yet said whether she will sign this into law.
FOX News reports:
Bill replacing ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with gender-neutral terms passes in New York, heads to Hochul’s desk
New York Democrats recently passed a bill that would remove the words “mother” and “father” from parts of state law, sending the legislation to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for final approval.
Under the new bill, targeting state child custody and parental laws, “mother” becomes “gestating parent,” “father” becomes “non-gestating parent,” and “paternity” becomes “parentage.”
It passed in the state Senate this week after progressing through the Assembly in March.
Democrats who drafted the legislation claimed the wording shift would promote “inclusivity,” while critics claim the change is unnecessary, with the legislative session having ended for the year on Thursday, FOX 5 New York reported.
Hochul said during a news conference that she isn’t familiar with the proposal, but promised to review it.
“I have until the end of the year to review them and make a decision, so I won’t be commenting on pending legislation,” Hochul said.
Total madness.
This is INSANE
Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."
It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.

President Trump on Friday went off on Maryland Governor Wes Moore, saying he halted the renovation of the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
Trump announced plans to “reinstitute the golf courses” with professional golfer and golf course designer Jack Nicklaus last November.
“The Governor of the Great State of Maryland, Wes Moore, has put a halt to all work being done at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, concerning the renovation and restoration of their two old and dilapidated Golf Courses, into two, World Class, Jack Nicklaus Designed Courses, plus nine additional holes, also designed by Jack, specially adapted for our Wounded Warriors,” Trump said.
He further accused Moore of “attacking the United States Air Force, and our Military” with the move.
“These Courses exist, they are terrible, Jack Nicklaus will make them GREAT. Why should the Air Force and other Military personnel be forced to wait through a long Legal Review process and, perhaps, even more so, why should Wounded Warriors be forced to travel long distances to play Golf somewhere else or, worse yet, not play Golf at all,” Trump added.
It is unclear what the “long legal review process” Trump refers to is.

Far-left rioters once again surrounded the Newark, New Jersey, ICE detention facility on Friday evening after a week of unrest.
Law enforcement clashed with anti-ICE protestors late Thursday. Police arrested two people who traveled to Delaney Hall from out of state and charged them with several offenses.
After several nights of violence, far-left Mayor Ras Baraka decided to pull police away from the ICE facility.
“Given the significant reduction in unrest, the city will begin scaling back its presence at Delaney Hall. After tonight, NPD will focus on traffic management and public safety, ensuring the protection of both protesters and motorists. We urge all protesters to remain peaceful so that attention remains focused on the urgent health and safety needs of detainees and the closing of Delaney Hall.”
Border Czar Tom Homan said the mayor made a bad move.
“They’re going to regret that decision. Look, when I got up there, they weren’t responding to 911 calls. ICE officers were being assaulted in the street. They called; they’re overwhelmed. Police officers didn’t respond, state police didn’t respond. The first thing I did, I met with the state police, I met with the mayor of that city, I met with the police department. I’ve had several conversations with the governor. I said the same thing I did in Minneapolis, you have to do your public safety job,” Homan said on Fox News on Thursday.
Homan was right.
The violent rioters returned on Friday evening and started back up again.
The anti-ICE protestors attacked and damaged vehicles outside of Delaney Hall.
One rioter shattered the windshield of a car as the driver was exiting the facility.

The Los Angeles Mayoral election is becoming increasingly questionable after a damning ballot drop gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman a substantial gain, and Los Angeles is expected to continue counting ballots through the weekend.
The nearly 60,000 late mail-in ballots counted on Friday evening gave Raman over 23,000 new votes, while Pratt gained roughly 11,000.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff. The top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli announced on Friday that his office is conducting “multiple election fraud investigations” with the FBI and a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.
Assistant US Attorney Robert Renner was also seen observing the ballot processing center in LA County on Friday and reportedly asking questions about the process.
Spencer Pratt and Democrat Councilwoman Nithya Raman are locked in a race to determine who will face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in a runoff election. Pratt surged with an early lead over Raman, trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin, in early vote results on election night.
However, the late-arriving mail-in votes, which are expected to be roughly a third of the total vote, will take days to arrive under California’s lawless vote-by-mail system.
"The most recent mail-in ballots that were processed are favoring Democrats, as many analysts suggested they would. Inside the ballot processing center here in LA County, any ballot that was postmarked by Election Day, Tuesday, must be counted by law," Fox's Matt Finn reports from outside LA County's ballot processing center.
"The process takes so long, in part because each ballot must have its signature verified, and if there's an issue, there's a 10-day period to have it cured," he continued, noting that it's "very likely" counting will continue into next week.
As ballots continue to be counted-- or "found"-- Pratt's lead over Raman is rapidly diminishing.
As of 3:18 pm ET, Pratt was leading Raman by six points with 64.3% of expected votes counted. Pratt had 29.4% of the vote earlier, while Raman had 23.4%.
But now, as of 8:20 pm, with 71.2% of expected votes counted, Pratt leads by just 3.3% with more than 250,000 ballots outstanding. Patch reports, "Pratt on Friday had a 20,672-vote lead over Raman, down
from 33,076 votes the day before."

The Fulani extremists who attack Christian villages often arrive in groups of more than 100 men, armed with AK-47s, riding motorcycles in pre-dawn raids on farming communities. Gun ownership in Nigeria is restricted under the Firearms Act, which requires presidential or Inspector-General licensing for any firearm and limits civilians to shotguns; a 2019 executive order revoked remaining private licenses.
Many Christian villages are entirely unarmed. Others are defended by hunters carrying homemade, single-shot muzzle-loaders, enough, villagers say, to buy time for families to flee, not to stop an assault. When communities have fought back, police have at times confiscated even those weapons. Through legislative pressure, Nigerian Christians are now pushing for the right to form state-level police forces to defend their homes and families. The constitutional amendment required to do so has not yet cleared the National Assembly.
Open Doors ranks Nigeria the deadliest country on earth for Christians, accounting for 3,490 of the 4,849 Christians killed for their faith worldwide in 2025. The U.S. House Nigeria’s Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026 estimates between 50,000 and 125,000 Christians martyred since 2009, with more than 19,000 churches attacked or destroyed, 72 percent of all Christian martyrs worldwide.
The killing continues: in January 2026, nearly 175 worshippers were abducted from churches in Kaduna State and dozens more killed across Plateau, Benue, and Taraba states, and on May 15, over 80 pupils, students, and teachers were kidnapped in simultaneous attacks in Oyo and Borno states.
Many of the worst attacks on Christian communities occur in remote villages in the Middle Belt and northern regions, areas with limited infrastructure and security forces. Violence happens quickly and without warning, and the government claims that by the time military or police units arrive, the attackers have already fled.
However, many locals report that police or army units were nearby and were even alerted during attacks, yet refused to respond until after the hostilities had ended. By then, Christians lay dead, survivors had been kidnapped, and the attackers had disappeared into remote jungle hideouts.
The federal government controls the only legally recognized police force in the country. Section 214(1) of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution states that there shall be a Nigeria Police Force, and that “no other police force shall be established for the Federation or any part thereof.” That single sentence has left rural Christian communities legally defenseless.
Nigerian church leaders have concluded that humanitarian appeals are no longer sufficient. Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of the Abuja Archdiocese framed self-defense as a matter of “natural justice” necessary to protect oneself from “bloodthirsty criminals,” stating that Christians “must rise up” and protect themselves and their communities. A pastor at a separate attack site put it plainly: “We preach, peace, but that must not mean surrender to slaughter. The right to life is sacred, and protecting that life is not a crime.”
Nigeria’s umbrella body for Christian denominations has now moved beyond moral statements to legislative demands. The Christian Association of Nigeria convened the National Church Denominational Leaders Summit 2026 in Abuja on June 2, attended by leaders from the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, the Christian Council of Nigeria, the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, TEKAN/ECWA and other member bodies, alongside legal practitioners and security experts from all six geopolitical zones.
CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh read the communiqué, condemning what he called “barbaric acts of murder, beheading, torture, rape, abduction and forced displacement,” and demanding immediate passage of the State Police Constitution Alteration Bill, legislation that would amend Section 214(1) of the 1999 Constitution, moving policing to the Concurrent List so states can field their own forces alongside the federal NPF. CAN also declared June 14 “Black Sunday,” calling on churches nationwide to mourn victims of violence.
The legislation is now advancing through the process. On June 4, President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila briefed correspondents after a consultative meeting at the State House, saying significant progress has been made and a constitutional amendment is expected in the near future, following months of consultations among the Executive, the National Assembly, and security authorities. The meeting included Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi, and Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu. Gbajabiamila said the debate has long moved past the question of whether state police should exist and is now focused entirely on the legal and institutional architecture for its operation.
The National Assembly has also been pushed by events. Following the May abductions in Oyo and Borno, the House of Representatives renewed calls for implementation of previously adopted recommendations on decentralizing Nigeria’s security architecture, including the establishment of state police, local government policing units, decentralized courts, and an integrated intelligence and surveillance network.
The bill is not yet passed. Senate spokesperson Yemi Adaramodu confirmed the Senate will immediately resume constitution review work, saying: “State police is a popular demand. The President has signed into it, the state governors too have signed into it, and the National Assembly is in love with it.” The Senate has officially committed to concluding the constitutional amendment process before the end of 2026.
The obstacles are real. The National Assembly had set December 2025 as its deadline and missed it, with political mobilization ahead of elections slowing the process. Critics, including Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria and the pan-Yoruba group Afenifere, have warned that any bill must include strong safeguards to prevent governors from abusing control over state police forces.
For Middle Belt Christians, those procedural concerns are secondary to survival. Nigerians have seen hundreds of suspects arrested over the years and then released, never charged or brought to trial, creating a culture of impunity that continues to erode public trust in the rule of law.
In December 2025, President Tinubu declared that all armed groups operating outside state authority, including bandits, militias, armed gangs, and kidnappers, would be treated as terrorists. However, he did not specifically name the Fulani, and no formal legal terrorist designation by gazette or executive order has been confirmed.
Communities that have endured years of attacks while waiting for the federal government to respond are now demanding the legal right to protect themselves, not through vigilantism, but through constitutional reform that would let their own states field their own police.
The amendment has not yet cleared the National Assembly. But for the first time since 1999, the constitutional barrier to state-level policing appears closer to falling than at any point in Nigeria’s history.

President Donald Trump just exposed yet another example of the radical Democrat regime’s war on hardworking Americans during an agriculture roundtable discussion in Wisconsin, this time, jailing people simply for fixing their own equipment.
Speaking before a crowd that included farmers and agricultural workers, Trump blasted government regulations that restrict Americans from repairing their own equipment and praised efforts to restore “right-to-repair” freedoms.
The president then recounted a case that left him stunned.
“The Democrats have a restriction that if you get caught fixing your tractor, they bring you to jail. You know that?” Trump told the crowd.
“Do you know that I pardoned a man last week who was sentenced to seven years in jail because he got caught fixing his car or his truck?”
Trump said he initially couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“I said, ‘What did he do?’ Sir, he was fixing his truck.”
“I said, ‘How long is he getting?’ Seven years.”
“I said, ‘Say it again.’ It’s the first time I’ve ever heard it.”
According to Trump, he quickly intervened.
“Like two weeks ago, I gave him a pardon because he had to go to jail because he was fixing his tractor or his truck.”
“So I promise, Ken, if you ever get caught fixing your tractor or truck, I will give you a pardon, okay?”
Trump then turned his fire toward environmental regulations that have long frustrated farmers, truckers, and equipment owners.
“These are the crazy Democrats. That’s what they want,” Trump said before touting his administration’s rollback of the controversial diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) requirements.
“I terminated the ridiculous so-called diesel exhaust fluid requirement.”
This is what happens when left-wing environmental extremists and a weaponized Department of Justice team up to criminalize basic repairs and the right to keep your own property running.

President Trump on Friday indicated that he’d be asking for an update on the investigation into the Biden White House’s cocaine scandal.
It can be recalled that in July 2023, a bag of cocaine was found in the West Wing. Many now speculate that it was Hunter Biden’s bag of blow, but the Secret Service apparently could not identify a suspect.
The FBI reopened its investigation into the mysterious coke baggie in May 2025.
Asked whether he’d been briefed on where the investigation stands, Trump responded, amused, “No, but I might ask about it.”
“You mean in the shelves where they found the cocaine? Actually, I might ask you about it,” he continued. “That’s great.”
