Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

"Graham Platner is generating so much excitement because many voters, both right and left, are tired of conventional wisdom inevitably delivering poor results for Mainers."

A headline from an op-ed article on CentralMaine.com: Graham Platner is the best choice to replace Sen. Collins | Letter, Platner may not be the conventional choice, but that's a good thing.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Trump to Orban:

You are fantastic. I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I am the only one that matters.

I endorsed him the last election and he won by 28 points. You will do even better even this time if you have another election.
