“You don't have much experience with Latin American hookers, do you?” More deleted Reddit comments tied to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner are surfacing as scrutiny over his online history intensifies. In newly uncovered posts from 2012, Platner discussed prostitution overseas and defended men who cheated on their wives while abroad, writing that infidelity and loyalty to fellow soldiers were “not mutually exclusive.” The comments add to a growing archive linked to Platner that also includes posts insulting the U.S. Army, mocking a Purple Heart recipient, using slurs, and expressing support for political violence — creating new headaches for Democrats in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

Eli Lilly released retatrutide Phase 3 data yesterday. 28% weight loss in 80 weeks. The most powerful obesity drug that’s ever been tested. And today the cancer signal drops. 12,112 patients. Seven tumor types. GLP-1 users had half the lung cancer metastasis rate (10% vs 22%). Breast cancer: 43% cut. Colon cancer five-year mortality in a separate study: 15.5% vs 37.1%. Cancer joins a list that already includes heart disease (SELECT, 20% MACE reduction), kidney failure (FLOW, 24% slower decline), sleep apnea (SURMOUNT-OSA, FDA-approved), addiction (BMJ, 600K veterans, 18-25% reduction across substances), and liver disease (86% fat clearance). Tumors express GLP-1 receptors. Activate them and NF-kB drops, apoptosis rises. The drug isn’t just shrinking fat. It’s talking directly to the cancer. One drug class. Designed for blood sugar. The biology keeps finding uses the designers didn’t predict.
