🚨💥 **“I think it’s over for Graham Platner.”** 🚨💥

Jon Fetherston of The Maine Wire just unloaded on the Muddy Waters Podcast:

"Like, what is going on with Graham Platner? He's in a porta potty sending inappropriate messages while he's married to women. And he's got Melissa Dunn and a grown man in a bear suit running security. I think it's over. Platner is in D.C. today. I guess he has a 3:30 meeting with Democrat leadership. And I think they're going to say it's time to go and go back to your oyster farm that doesn't exist."

🤯 Porta-potty scandals 🔥 Sexting while married 🎪 Circus security 🐻 Bear suit guy + Melissa Dunn running protection… and now an emergency DC meeting.

The Graham Platner campaign is **completely imploding**.

Maine deserves way better than this clown show.

🚨🎙️ HR Meltdown at USM: “Your Anonymous Posts Are Putting Lives in Danger!” 🚨
On the latest Muddy Waters Podcast Episode 181, lecturer Ryan Tuttle (University of Southern Maine) shares the wild story:
He posts on his private anonymous account → gets called into HR.
HR: “You’re putting our lives in danger 😱”
Ryan: “On my anonymous account… with zero mention of her name or USM?!”
They double down: “Not collegiate 😬… not cordial… stop it.”
Then the plot twist 🔥 — they show him the union contract:
“Actually… you have broad free speech rights” — especially strong at a public university like USM.
This is 2025 higher ed in a nutshell:
Anonymous opinions = “threat to life”
The Constitution = shocking revelation to HR 😂🤡

🚨 **Free Speech Wins One** 🔥

UNH grad student Ryan Tuttle saw the Graduate Student Senate asked for a representative on a campus “free speech” committee — but with one catch: **it had to be a woman of color.**

Ryan volunteered anyway.

They told him: “No… we really want a Black woman.”

He pushed back.

**They let him on the committee.**

One guy standing up for principle over identity politics — and free speech actually prevailed.

Ep. 180: Maine Budget Explosion & $5M Planned Parenthood Giveaway w/ Rep. Jack Ducharme https://t.co/yjgNyHIFyp

[Christian Civic League of Maine @CCLMaine]

In this powerful segment, Scott Centorino, former Special Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, reveals the inside story behind one of the Trump administration’s earliest and most significant actions.
Just days into the presidency, the President signed an Executive Order titled “Ending the Chemical and Surgical Mutilation of Children.” Centorino was one of the lead authors on the order — having worked on it in Palm Beach in December 2024 — and was put in charge of implementing it.
He walks through how this aggressive, comprehensive roadmap has guided the administration’s efforts to push back against gender ideology and protect children, going well beyond the widely discussed women’s sports issue.
A rare, detailed look at how a major policy priority moved from campaign promise to rapid, forceful implementation at the highest levels of government.

Freeport Maine Abolish ICE Protest 5/26/26

-Upper class liberals respond to immigration enforcement happening in Maine - demanding we abolish ICE & leave the illegal foreigners alone.

-UK/Europe has the same loonies who naively opened the gates to their nations & now at the mercy of foreigners who continue to spread, taking control of their cities, neighborhoods, and culture.

🔴 **"No More Backroom Deals!"**

Rep. Jack Ducharme reveals how he **stopped secret negotiations** on Maine’s Appropriations Committee:

“We’re **not** negotiating in the back room… We’re going to negotiate **on camera**.” 💥

✅ Full transparency in front of the people of Maine
✅ No more hidden handshakes & rubber-stamp votes
✅ Forcing Democrats to defend their spending on record

This is what fighting one-party rule looks like!

Episode 7: Garrett Mason
“You know, it’s funny you mention that because it brings me back to my first campaign…” 🚪
In 2010, at just 25 years old, Garrett Mason ran for State Senate in a district that had been Democrat for a long time. He was placed in the “thank you for trying” category — the biggest underdog.
His response? He knocked on 10,000 doors. That kind of relentless grassroots work and determination is exactly what Maine needs right now.

Episode 6: Jonathan Bush
“But the idea of requiring the power company to buy electricity at four times the wholesale rate…” ⚡
Jonathan Bush calls out the insanity in Maine’s energy policies: forcing utilities to pay 4x the wholesale rate, refusing to count large hydroelectric power as renewable, while mandating 50% renewables. He rightly labels it Orwellian and backwards.
These broken rules — along with a sclerotic housing supply chain — are making life harder for Maine families. Common sense leadership is desperately needed.

Episode 5: Owen McCarthy
“And I would love to test the appetite of Mainers for small modular nuclear…” ⚛️
Owen McCarthy is thinking long-term about Maine’s energy future. Small modular nuclear reactors offer a proven, safe, and low-cost solution that could meet our energy needs for decades — if we get permitting right and make it practical.
While not a quick fix, this forward-thinking approach moves beyond the failures of the past and the grid problems caused by unlimited solar. Real energy security requires bold, realistic ideas like this.

With an amazing volunteer team, Robert Wessels moved at record speed — turning in signatures and officially getting on the ballot by January 29th, making him the first out of 22 gubernatorial candidates this year.
Fast, organized, and ready to lead. This is the kind of energy and execution Maine Republicans need.

“People say it doesn’t matter. It matters…” 🗳️
If you don’t vote, you get what we have right now.
It matters that you get off the couch. It matters that you show up for town council meetings, school board budgets, state elections, and federal races. People in Iraq literally risked their lives — walking past snipers with purple ink on their thumbs — just for the chance to vote.
Here in America, it takes 10 minutes. No excuses. If we don’t vote, we don’t get to complain about the results.
Maine needs engaged citizens who show up every single time.

Episode 2: Ben Midgley
“I said at the debate the other night…” ⚡
When Democrats passed net energy billing in 2019 with zero limits on solar projects, they opened the floodgates. Maine is already producing 800 megawatts from solar while our daily need is only about 1,200.
The problem? Our grid was built for energy flowing in — not flooding back out. Transformers that used to switch 12 times a day are now switching 100 times a day. These 50–70 year old units are breaking down fast, and our grid is degrading.
We need real leadership that puts Maine’s energy reliability first — not radical green experiments.
