BREAKING: O.M.G. The woman accusing Graham Platner of "intimidation" has been EXPOSED as a top Republican operative who has worked with his opponent, Susan Collins!
This is EXACTLY what they did to Al Franken…
On Thursday evening, the New York Times ran a story in which a woman, Lindsey Fifield, accused Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of grabbing her by the arm, twisting her arm, and of standing in a doorway menacingly blocking her exit.
The New York Times could not corroborate any of her accusations, but ran the story anyway, along with allegations from a few other women that Graham Platner could be unsettling, had dark thoughts, and generally had spooky vibes as a boyfriend.
They also spoke to several other women who said he was a lovely boyfriend and they happily supported his candidacy.
It’s now coming out that Lindsey Fifeld is a lifelong GOP operative who has worked with Platner’s Republican opponent, Susan Collins, and successfully persuaded her to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court justice who is an ACTUAL rapist.
In one message to a friend, Fifeld wrote “I will personally go campaign for Collins.”
Reporter Ryan Grim at Drop Site News reports that “In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.”
“In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.“
“The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was ‘a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns.’”
“Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and [Zionist extremist Bethany] Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then.”
It should be noted as well that Lindsey Fifeld has a long history of making up baseless lies about Palestinians targeted by the Trump administration like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.
Folks, pardon our French, but this is *bullshit.*
This is an abhorrent attempt to weaponize domestic violence and the mental trauma of dealing with PTSD in order to sink a leftist candidate who staunchly opposes the Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the reporter on this article is Katie Gluek, an ardent Zionist whose parents are Israeli settler-occupiers in the West Bank.
Platner’s campaign responded with “Let’s be very clear: This is a lifelong G.O.P. operative who’s dedicated her career to electing Republicans.”
What else is there to say?
Graham Platner is obviously a very imperfect person, but we are not electing him to be our boyfriend. He has been very open about his struggles with PTSD; he saw four of his squadmates killed in an IED explosion in Iraq.
This smear campaign, based on uncorroborated allegations by a woman who literally said she would work for his opponent, is part of his punishment for being a progressive who isn’t afraid to stand against Israel, to stand against the health insurance behemoths, and to demand a better life for the American people.
They managed to sink Al Franken like this. They will NOT succeed again!
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
COMEBACK WIN!
8 WINS IN 9!
PHILS ARE BACK?!
(I’m aware it against weaker opponents, but winning builds momentum and confidence, we’re going in a good direction!)
@MollieeWalkerr I love that they stayed in the village with all the other athletes. Humble and not thinking you’re better than the other athletes. Respect
@nytimes@TheAthletic Simone Biles continues to show her incredible sportsmanship and empathy. It is amazing to see her supporting fellow athletes like Ilia Malinin. True champion spirit.
U.S. Soccer unveils “Pathway Strategy” — a unified national plan with MLS, NWSL, USL and major youth orgs onboard. The goal: cut youth costs, simplify development and produce world-class players, with input from Arsène Wenger and over $125M/yr in MLS free-to-play investment.
It’s mad how few Americans understand the significance of Pulisic leading Serie A in goal contributions over a 3 year span.
The legendary players—the teams—the history. And some Yank is doing it and 99.7% of the population is oblivious to the magnitude of the accomplishment. Lol
The end of the @Phillies and @Dodgers game yesterday was hard to watch obviously because of how it ended. I woke up this morning still devastated for Orion Kerkering. But I’ll tell you what I did see: In a moment of total disbelief and heartbreak that their season ended so abruptly, catcher JT Realmuto consoling Orion. Nick Castellanos running in from right field to put his arms around Orion. Manager Rob Thomson waiting at the top step for his pitcher to hug him and remind him that he was loved. Sometimes we think so much about outcomes and performances that we forget that these are just people. With real emotions. And in that moment Orion had his team loving all over him because when you play with somebody for 162, plus spring training, plus playoffs… you become family.
Were they sad they lost? Of course. But their heartbreak for Orion and support for him was clear and great to witness. In a moment of defeat and total shock , the Phillies showed true class and support for their young player who made a mistake.
Well done Phillies.
And congrats Dodgers.

A UFC cage match on the White House South Lawn? This is a shameless circus, and Fox News has disgracefully crowned itself the official ringmaster, peddling this trash as "patriotic entertainment" for Trump’s ego trip. The guy can’t govern worth a damn, so he turns the nation’s highest office into a damn gladiator pit, pure clownery from a man who’d rather flex for cameras than fix the economy. And MAGA? They’re lapping it up like drooling fanboys, cheering while groceries skyrocket and jobs vanish. Fox News, you’re not journalists you’re Trump’s propaganda puppets, amplifying this absurd sideshow while the country burns
