🚨BREAKING: Workers at Houston’s Hilton Americas hotel are ON STRIKE! This is the first strike of hotel workers in Texas in modern history.
Happy Labor Day!
Thank you for an incredible outpouring of support.
I'll be speaking on Zoom tonight at 7PM Eastern about our movement to defeat Susan Collins and her billionaire backers. I hope to see you there.
RSVP here: grahamforsenate.com/zoom
My name is Graham Platner, and I’m the oyster farmer, Marine Corps veteran, and Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I’m not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy…
People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police. There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Literal billionaires have taken over our government. And all Democratic leadership can do is send us another fundraising text?
Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they’re fighting fascism… Because it’s such bullshit. We’re not idiots. Everyone knows most of them aren’t doing jack shit right now to fight back.
I'm up against the biggest of big money. If you can, please consider making a contribution to help build the statewide grassroots movement we need.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
🎉 Congratulations to @Teamsters Brother Nick Gedda on his retirement after 40 years with Heartland Coca-Cola. Today, he was joined by Business Agent Rodney Kalina to celebrate. Enjoy a well-earned retirement, Brother!
My name is Omar Fateh, and I’m running for Minneapolis Mayor because for working people, it’s getting harder to build our lives in this city we love. To make an affordable Minneapolis that works for everyone, we need a Mayor that works as hard as we do. I’m ready to get to work.
I'm grateful for the outpouring of support I've received from Minneapolis residents & communities across the country.
Thank you to my fellow candidates, Mr. Hampton, Dr. Davis & Mayor Frey, for your kindness and firm stance that hate has no place in Minneapolis or this election.
The creatives behind Zohran Mamdani's striking branding talk about how they designed a poster that broke all the rules of political aesthetics. f-st.co/hoBv66t
I am now heading to Shreveport, Louisiana, the home of Speaker Mike Johnson. He is the architect of Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” the most destructive piece of legislation in modern history. And his constituents need to know that.
Just like @ZohranKMamdani is being outspent by billionaire super PACs, @AOC was too.
She won anyway, because the people showed up, and voted.
