My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

NEW: Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is moving to dismiss federal charges against her for allegedly obstructing officers outside an ICE facility, citing “differential treatment” from the DOJ as it dismissed cases against over 160 January 6th rioters for the same crime.

REMINDER: If billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos paid their fair share, we could afford to EXPAND benefits and strengthen Social Security’s customer service!

Instead, Republicans are cutting Social Security and giving tax cuts to billionaires.

The House Dems quorum break has nothing to do with fleeing, as the press so consistently mischaracterizes it.

The break — an aggressive move, not a retreat — avails of the last available option, the only mechanism that offers any chance to stop the grave and possibly irreparable harm to democracy.

Ronald Regan once stated that politics, as the second-oldest profession, bears a striking resemblance to the first. Here we are.
🚨TESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL:

“He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…”

But then came the mic drop 👇
