The “Platner comes from money and his oyster business was a gift from Mom” facts have been out there but woefully under/unreported by the media and willfully ignored by many on the left, to say nothing of the pattern of how he treats and thinks about women. What a disaster this has been.

Shane Goldmacher National politics reporter
Graham Platner has not made a decision on whether to drop out, according to a person familiar with the campaign's internal discussions, who added there was no guarantee he would drop out even as Democrats abandoned his campaign on Monday. "If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for," said the person, who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the discussions publicly.

yeah, this is a credible allegation of rape from five years ago by someone who supports Platner politically with documentation of corroboration from others she told well before Platner's campaign started. his response is bluster and smears. he should drop out. right now.

🩱Choosing a swim suit color is more than just a fashion choice. It's a safety choice. Being able to see your child in the water is critical. In this image Top row: swimsuit is just below the surface Bottom row: swimsuit 18in below with water agitation ✅bright neon colors 🚫white, gray, light blue
Alt text: "Infographic titled 'Swim Suit Color Test Results' from Alive Solutions, showing a grid of color swatches paired with underwater photos. High visibility colors: The bright/saturated tones stand out most clearly against the turquoise water. Orange, magenta/pink, and purple suits create strong contrast and are easy to spot in the underwater shots. Red also reads fairly well, though it can shift toward a darker, less vivid tone underwater. Low visibility colors: White, gray, light gray, and black suits appear to blend most into the underwater environment—gray tones especially can disappear into the bluish-green water and shadow areas, while black becomes nearly indistinguishable from dark water or shadows.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

🚨 🚨 🚨 Take action NOW: fightchatcontrol.eu
In an unprecedented move with a flagrant disregard for democracy and her own colleagues, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is attempting to force through the twice-rejected "voluntary" mass scanning legislation.

In parallel, this Monday, the final trilogue on the permanent Chat Control 2.0 legislation begins: Council still wants to revoke your right to privacy and read your messages.

We are witnessing a two-front assault: Metsola overriding your MEPs, and Council pushing permanent mass scanning.

Take action: contact your MEPs now!
