Senator Collins challenges Maine's legacy media to report fairly on the serious allegations surrounding Graham Platner:
Nick Fuentes is DISGUSTED by the racist e-girl who said black people are chimping out “Who would want a girl that talks like that? You know what that is? It’s just attention-seeking hoe behavior.”
@thaxter It’s not a working class state
the whole Platner experience---working class persona being kinda fake, sordid details of his personal life, lack of actual policy expertise, lazy slopulism of much of his campaign---is honestly depressing nonetheless, vote for him over Collins: easiest decision of your life

Politico: Chuck Schumer is ready for redemption The embattled Senate minority leader isn’t popular with the base of his own party. But he says he has laid the groundwork for a Democratic resurgence. “We made a lot of strategic decisions that got us to this place — it didn’t happen by accident,” Schumer said. “I knew from the beginning that if we recruited strong candidates, found paths to victory, focused on the issues the American people cared about, and forced … the Republicans, to carry Trump’s water, we’d be in much better shape, and that has happened.” politico.com/news/2026/06/1…
Collins comes from a minor political dynasty that has owned a lumber business for almost 200 years lol

I very briefly was talking to and then consequently seeing Graham Platner from about February 2021 until mid July 2021 when it was revealed to me that he was cheating on his fiancé at the time. He knew about the fucking tattoo.
One of the funny ironies of this race is Susan Collins comes from a thoroughly working class Irish-Catholic background in rural Northern Maine While Graham Platner is the child of wealthy liberal WASPs & literally went to an out of state $70,000 a year prep school, his Grandfather (William Platner) was a famous modern architect Susan Collins grew up as a farm hand in Caribou, Graham Platner grew up on a costal mansion His entire identity is fake
