Graham Platner for Senate
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine·
The GOP is attacking me for using GI Bill benefits I earned by serving in wars Susan Collins voted to send me to. Disgusting yet unsurprising. You want to know how I paid for college? With 4 tours in the infantry. Susan Collins needs to condemn these vile attacks on my service.
Veterans For Responsible Leadership@VetsForRL

Graham Platner went to GW using the GI Bill that he earned serving this nation with 4 combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop attacking vets for using the benefits we honorably earned because spineless politicians like Susan Collins keep sending us to stupid endless wars.

This race has come down to 3 candidates for 2 spots. My opponents are a MAGA extremist and a career politician funded by Chevron and Meta. I’m the only one who will take on corporations to drive down costs.

BREAKING: We sued the DOJ, Treasury Department and IRS to block the Trump admin from handing out $1.8 billion in taxpayer funds to Trump's allies who claim to be victims of government weaponization. This settlement is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.

While we will need to expand SCOTUS to 13 Justices, it makes zero sense to enact that reform while Trump is in office. For now, the effort should be made to enact term limits and a measure that would apply the same ethics rules that bind lower court judges to SCOTUS

BREAKING: YES! Congressman Ro Khanna shatters the emergency glass and calls for expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices and term limiting their seats. We're done letting this corrupt institution destroy our democracy...

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

Donating $5 million to the people investigating you is corruption. Accepting $5 million from the person you’re investigating is corruption. Our government is run by corrupt billionaires and bought politicians.
FactPost@factpostnews

Howard Lutnick donated $5 million to House Republicans before testifying to the House Oversight Committee about his business deals with Jeffrey Epstein and visit to Epstein's island.

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Dept. Court dismisses indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.
ABC News@ABC

Top Democrats are demanding answers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and IRS CEO Frank Bisignano on the settlement between President Trump and the IRS that created a nearly $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund." Read more: abcnews.link/eyN5WTZ

Trump is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to payout violent insurrectionists and his own loyalists –– and I can't even say I'm surprised.    In fact, I started pushing legislation back in January to prevent rewards for Capitol rioters.

Question for Musk: You tell us not to worry about the jobs that’ll be wiped out by AI & robotics because the government will provide everyone with “universal high income.” Really? How will that be paid for when you can’t even support a 5% tax on your $817 billion in wealth?

Riyad Mansour, the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, has condemned the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention. His remarks come as outrage grows over Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s treatment of the Sumud Flotilla activists while in detention.

Tom Steyer
Tom Steyer@TomSteyer·
With less than two weeks until Election Day, the state’s most powerful interests are lining up to defeat our campaign. I always knew that taking on corporate interests to stand up for working people would be a big fight, but this has reached another level.  This week, Meta dumped $950,000 to elect Xavier Becerra. The very next day Meta laid off 10% of its workforce. Why are they spending against me? It’s because I’m the only candidate with a plan to tax Big Tech and protect workers.  Chevron also cut a $500,000 check to support Becerra. Just last month, Becerra said he “needs Chevron” and Chevron apparently got the message. Chevron has polluted our state for years. As governor, I won’t cater to Chevron. I’ll make polluters pay.    The healthcare industry has dropped more money for Becerrra too. Maybe it’s because Becerra recently told healthcare lobbyists he doesn’t support single-payer.  Folks, this race has come down to a billionaire who will fight for working people or a politician who will fight for billionaires.  If we win, corporations lose. But I need your vote.

Alex Lawson: Why did they cut $1 trillion from Medicaid? Why did they cut food stamps and rip food off the tables of the hungry? Why are they harming the least of us to give trillions in tax handouts to the billionaires that we see in the Epstein files?

Adam Schiff
Adam Schiff@SenAdamSchiff·
My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.
