## Resource

Rita breaks down the latest trouble surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after new allegations surface from former girlfriends, including claims of toxic relationships, physically threatening behavior, sexting after marriage, and more questions about his Nazi tattoo. Rita blasts Platner’s explanations, his MSNBC interview, and the Democrats still offering him political cover ahead of the Maine primary. Plus, Rita covers President Trump heading to Madison Square Garden for the Knicks playoff game, the growing influence of the Democratic Socialist machine behind candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Platner, concerns over Dr. Adam Hamawy’s New Jersey win and Newark ICE facility appearance, and why voters need to wake up before these candidates gain even more power.
