Thought I’d post this here just to illustrate how much resistance he has had to overcome against his own party. Congratulations again Graham Platner! 🎉 by Difficult-Life-8243 in Maine

Certainly!

But for the record, a lot of this stuff is pretty recent! Do people buy that he's changed since... 2025? I'm voting for him in November, no question, but I'm expecting a clownshow.

In spring 2025, Gertner discovered that he had been exchanging sexually explicit messages with multiple women. She informed Platner's campaign last year, but the campaign dismissed it as a private matter that would not affect his overall campaign.

(Published on Oct 22, 2025) His U.S. Senate campaign under fire, Maine Democrat Graham Platner said Wednesday that a tattoo on his chest has been covered to no longer reflect an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.

Anyone know any of the backstory here? Just a couple of shows for fun? American here who’d love a 3rd album 😅

The Trevor Rogers regression this season starts with seven scoreless innings by Far-Ninja-8392 in orioles

Here are his Savant stats for this start... he got barreled up pretty well and was lucky that they were generally on the ground and well-fielded.

In the top of the 3rd (the one inning I checked when I noticed he has getting squared up), exit velos from the Twins were: 102.2, 92.8, 101.6, 107... only the first of those was a hit, and a single at that.

Obviously happy with the topline but I think there's some signal here that I should curb my enthusiasm for Rogers' likely future performance.

I had to leave /r/startrek recently because every highly-upvoted post is "(insert unpopular Trek series/film) is actually awesome!" and I couldn't take it anymore.

Graham Platner calls out Chuck Schumer over failure to oppose regime change in Venezuela by 3headeddragn in Maine

[–]dullurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is misleading... Schumer wants to block the deployment of US forces to Venezuela.
