Collins told Maine Morning Star in the spring she intends to run for reelection in 2026, and although she has yet to officially launch a campaign, she raised $2.4 million to close the quarter with more than $5 million on hand… … Platner’s splashy campaign launch in the The New York Times and team of progressive strategists with records of successfully running against establishment Democrats has set him apart. That Sanders has had to move the rally to a bigger venue since Platner got on the bill is telling… Between the gentle morning sun, the complex flavors of the oysters, and lulling water, it is easy to believe Platner when he says that he hasn’t paid himself to work for his company since he took it over five years ago. His healthcare is free, after a fashion—he paid for it with four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan during the grimiest slog of the War on Terror (fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi, among other places)… He still thinks of community organizing as the ultimate test of endurance—the same long-haul, no-glory, high-pain threshold ethos that drew him to both punk rock and the Marines.
