Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The woman who started Ladies for Kavanaugh specifically to descredit Christine Blasey Ford's rape allegations is going out of her way to say that he knew what the tattoo meant - so he almost certainly did not.
Its weird that your appeal to truth contains some pretty big false statements. Why not just link to the article you are referencing:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/graham-platner-maine-senate-former-girlfriends.html
A) The person you are talking about isn't the only person saying this. B) She didn't found shit, but is indeed a Republican. She also provided a text message from before he was even running for office which corroborates her statement.
But you don't need to just believe what I said because I included a source because ONE OF US is not interested in relying on made up shit.
This dude is better than Collins, but he probably isn't better than the Democrat that he beat in the primary.
According to a 2018 New York Post article, Fifield and Inez Stepman, who at the time worked at the Independent Women's Forum, co-founded a group titled Ladies for Kavanaugh in support of Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination
Janet Mills is the least popular governor in the country, in no small part because she's put her personal Zionist agenda ahead of the state's political and economic needs time and time and time again.
the Maine primary is tomorrow (June 9)

Platner is unopposed because his Democratic opponent withdrew after getting funding pulled from the DNC. Weird you don't know that.
Platner is one of four candidates on the primary ballot: Costello, Mills (yes she suspended her campaign but she's still on the ballot), and the write-in candidate LaFlamme. Surprised you didn't know that given it's right there in the link I provided.
She "suspended active campaigning due to lack of funds"
Which is a sore losers way of saying she withdrew.
yes indeed, that is what I also said along with a source corroborating both that statement and the fact that she is still on the ballot and thus can be voted for, along with 2 additional other people, meaning Planter is not, in fact, unopposed in the primary which is going to happen tomorrow nor has he actually won it yet. The polling absolutely suggests that Planter will win it. But he hasn't actually won it yet.
