Facts:
Rep. Ro Khanna previously dismissed similar allegations against Graham Platner from a June 4, 2026 New York Times article. He publicly stated he “believed in redemption” for Platner after campaigning with him.
Khanna had defended Platner despite reports of toxic behavior toward ex-girlfriends and a disputed Nazi-themed tattoo.
Now he calls the latest claims “very serious and credible” and is demanding Platner drop out while withdrawing his endorsement.
Platner received strong backing from progressive and labor groups, including:
• Working Families Party (WFP)
• Maine People’s Alliance
• Multiple labor unions and organizations, including the United Auto Workers (UAW), Maine AFL-CIO and affiliates, National Nurses United, Maine State Nurses Association, International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), APWU, IBEW, and others.
Notable individual endorsements included:
• Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT): One of his earliest and most vocal supporters. Endorsed in 2025 and continued backing him through earlier controversies, emphasizing focus on working-family issues.
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): Endorsed him and publicly stood by the nominee after the primary, arguing he had taken responsibility for past actions.
• Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ): Endorsed earlier in 2026 but rescinded his support on July 6, 2026, describing the new allegations as “troubling and deeply serious.”
• Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM): Also endorsed him.
Facts : Syed, a longtime LA County public defender (2005–2026), previously sued the county in 2019. As a devout Sunni Muslim, he sought religious accommodation for retirement plans because standard options involved interest (riba), which conflicts with Islamic finance principles.
The case settled in 2022, leading the county to create exemptions for Sharia-compliant investment options.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris allegedly may have violated campaign finance laws by attempting to transfer $91.5 million in Biden campaign funds to the Harris campaign, which would have constituted the single largest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, according to David Warrington.
