I have covered a LOT of weird stories during my career. None is stranger than the fact that a sitting Member of Congress hasn't been seen in public in THREE months... ...and no one seems to know where he is or what's wrong with him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVxq...

Dems Are About to Nominate a Scandal-Plagued Candidate in Maine — And It Might Not Matter One week before the primary, Graham Platner has survived Reddit meltdowns, sexting revelations, and more! @mattklewis.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/mattklew...

"'I definitely want her to un-suspend her campaign,' said Lynn Bromley, a former state senator who had appeared in an anti-Platner ad for Mills. 'There are a lot of us,'" www.cnn.com/2026/06/01/p...

"One person close to Mills said she had not been approached by Senate Democrats about rejoining ...'This is kind of where we thought this was all going,' the person said. 'We tried to say something about it, but nobody wanted to listen, and now we’ll just sit back.'" www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Gabbard's story in 15 minutes: She told everyone in 2019 that Trump lied when he promised to keep us out of wars. Then in 2024 she endorsed him anyway, claiming he would keep us out of wars. And as he got us into more wars, she did nothing. She's a complete sellout. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA4O...
