Graham Platner was recruited to run for Senate by a pair of socialist political operatives, Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who determined that another prospective candidate had “a skeleton in the closet.” The Wall Street Journal published a rare interview with the duo on Sunday who revealed they paid “a whole chunk of money” to vet Platner but managed to turn up neither his Nazi ink nor many of his Reddit posts.

Left-wing Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of his Maine town—one he has repeatedly said on the campaign trail he actively “serves” in—as proof of his “working class” bona fides. “He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign—and it was largely a ‘clerical’ one, according to local records and people familiar with the position,” Peter J. Hasson and Alana Goodman report.

In brief remarks at the event that were available afterward via a video feed, the mayor mispronounced the Hebrew word for "covenant," or brit, turning a one-syllable word that rhymes with "feet" into two. "The Buh-REET that has long dictated how to live well in the community," he said. "The Buh-REET is a reminder that our fundamental obligation is to one another. It teaches of the obligation we hold to uplift the poor, to protect the vulnerable, and in the words of Leviticus 19:18, to love thy neighbor as thyself."

WATCH: Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the anti-Semitic protests that have rocked Columbia University, says "we" couldn't have avoided Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre.

NEW: When the mother of a black Texas middle schooler claimed in 2021 that a group of white students made her son drink urine, media outlets from NBC to CNN and ABC covered the story. “Texas authorities investigating allegations of racism and bullying of a 13-year-old by his classmates during sleepover,” a CNN headline blared. Nearly five years later, we’re learning it was a giant hoax. None of the outlets that covered the case have written follow-up stories despite the lurid (and defamatory) nature of the allegations, which included not just the urine but also that the boy was shot with a BB gun and called racial slurs.

Graham Platner has made his status as a fully disabled veteran a central part of his insurgent campaign against Maine senator Susan Collins—but he’s refused to disclose whether the Veterans Affairs benefits that make up the vast majority of his income come with work restrictions that would prohibit him from drawing a salary, a critical distinction that could have legal implications for his campaign.

In this week’s Stiles Section: a farewell to two fallen pillars of modern liberalism—Barney Frank and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Andrew Stiles writes: Stephen Colbert is officially off the air. By the time you read this, he’ll have hosted his final episode of The Late Show on CBS—a show that hasn’t been profitable (or funny) in years. Liberal elites and other sanctimonious cranks will mourn Colbert’s departure because, according to their educated worldview, all white men have a God-given right to earn $15 million to go on television and say things they agree with. “He’s radiated gratitude,” CNN’s Brian Stelter said of Colbert during an appearance at the Workplace Innovation Summit, sponsored by Fortune magazine. “We need those kinds of role models.”

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani recently unveiled his plan to build a government-run grocery store in Manhattan.
