Platner reshuffles campaign and sends out NDAs as he struggles to get ahead of controversies The Maine Senate candidate is bringing on a new campaign manager, among other changes.

Considering the recent news, these NDAs give the appears that Graham Platner is using them to cover up his history and create an intimidating culture designed to silence his staff.

Donald Trump is making millions off the office of the President.

Meanwhile, you are paying more.

All terrible. Lots of corruption.

And nothing about lowering prices.

Analysis | The risks Democrats take in their quest for fresh faces Many Democratic voters are calling for new leaders and generational change. But is the party ready untested candidates?

There are a lot of really talented regular people who can offer a lot and can run. I don’t know why we have to get behind one with so many skeletons. Why put all this weight and money behind this guy?

Arizonans are getting ripped off.

They’re being denied their voice in Congress so that Republicans can protect handouts to their billionaire donors.

I've been getting a lot of questions about tattoos, so time to fess up — I have one.

I got this tattoo a few years ago as a reminder of what hope and a positive vision can do in our politics. And yes, I knew what it was when I got it.

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits he got Nazi-linked tattoo while ‘very inebriated’ “I am not a secret Nazi,” the Bernie Sanders-backed candidate insisted, claiming he was unaware the tattoo had potentially sickening connections to Nazism.

It’s one thing to get a bad tattoo when you’re drunk.

It’s another to get a NAZI tattoo when you’re drunk.

But it’s disqualifying to get a NAZI tattoo when you’re drunk and then pretend you didn’t know it was a NAZI tattoo for decades.

We must not let elected officials continue to not do the work that their constituents voted them in for.

The message should be clear: Republicans need to end this shutdown and get back to serving the American people.

This isn’t going to drive down prices.

Republicans should end the shut down and get to work.

Imagine if MAGA could have peacefully protests like this.

Instead MAGA beats cops, destroys property at the Capitol, and threatens to hang the Vice President!

No Kings! ❌👑

America has no kings and its citizens know it. ❌👑

Let’s all make it clear: No Kings In America

No Kings banner

If you're going to No Kings tomorrow, leave the bear spray, weapons, and zip ties at home - this isn't a Republican event.

Rhetoric like this from the White House has to stop before it leads to more violence.

20 BILLION DOLLARS 💵

Talk about the cost of corruption!

Republicans shut down an agency that protected consumers from fraud and abuse.

For nearly 60 years, the Voting Rights Act has been our nation’s most powerful tool to ensure everyone, especially communities of color, has an equal say in shaping the decisions that affect their lives – from the cost of groceries to access to health care.

As Trump’s shutdown drags on it’s becoming more clear that Democrats are fighting to protect health care for Americans while Republicans want to let families pay more.

But no money to keep your health care costs down

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

This is disgusting and abhorrent.

These are Republican operatives and a reflection of their party from the top down.

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California.

California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Trump regime allies get a break - everyone else pays for it.

It’s the cost of corruption.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

Expensive Halloween around the corner. It’s the cost of corruption.

Axios reports that cocoa prices have doubled under Donald Trump.

He said he would bring prices down, but he’s only helping corporate lobbyists and billionaire donors. The rest of us pay the price.

Speaker Johnson should apologize - we need to tone down the charged rhetoric like his that’s leading to political violence.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

It’s 100% designed to protect the cover up of the Epstein files.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Donald Trump is deploying troops to the streets of his own country to attack its citizens and he wants a Nobel Peace Prize?!

Wild.

The Cost of Corruption is that the Trump regime spends resources weaponizing government for retribution — leaving less law enforcement resources to keep you safe.
