Graham Platner will rally alongside U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in Portland, Maine on April 18, 2026 as the two team up for an event while Platner continues to navigate campaign troubles.
The event, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at a secretive private location, will secure high-profile institutional support for Graham Platner, who maintains a public persona rooted in edgy, anti-government populism and revolutionary themes.
Platner received a recent endorsement from Warren, joining other Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont), Martin Heinrich (D-Nevada), and Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona).

The outreach isn’t coincidental; it occurs against the backdrop of Platner’s Nazi chest tattoo scandal and some insensitive Reddit posts widely seen as misogynist.
Platner is now set to showboat in Portland alongside Elizabeth Warren who exemplified that not all tattoos are judged equally.

This actually is good news because it shows the extent to which the Democratic Party is splitting. There is the establishment who
supports General Mills and the communists who are supporting Platner.
Both Mills and Platner have considerable baggage, and if they destroy each other, they may not only just elect Susan Collins, but might get a whole bunch more Republicans in office as well.
Mills has a lot to answer for for Covid, for the mess the state is in, and just for being ineffective. Platner has a lot to answer for in terms of the Nazi tattoo, getting the equivalent of $70,000 a year in total disability benefit benefits, even though he thinks he should be a US senator, and a real investigation into the financialrelationship between his “farm” and his mother’s restaurant could be quite interesting.
I’m not saying there’s anything amiss, but one trick I’ve seen done elsewhere goes as follows. Let’s say the price that restaurants are paying for lobsters is five dollars a pound. Instead of paying that the restaurant pays ten dollars a pound for the same lobsters, and then deduct that off of its taxes as an expense for the restaurant.
What this wind up doing is shifting the profits from the restaurant to the profits or the oyster farm. He still has to pay taxes, but the IRS has rules about businesses must make money because they don’t want tax dodges, and he can only deduct as much as his gross profits are.
So let’s say his deductible expenses are $50,000, but his gross income from the “farm“ was $30,000. If he can sell the oysters to his mother for twice fair market value, he then will have a gross income of $60,000 from which he can deduct $50,000 as business expenses and pay taxes on the $10,000.
This would actually be legal, sort of, because there’s no requirement that his mother purchase oysters from the lowest bidder. The IRS would ask questions and the whole thing would be a whole lot more complicated than I’ve laid it out here, but I’m just suggesting that it’s something that lobsterman have done and it’s a possibility.
I AM NOT SAYING HE’S DOING THIS, only that this retired lobsterman really noticed how his waste is all go to his mother’s restaurant. Maybe only at fair market value, but we don’t know. And there’s nothing wrong with selling stuff to your mother, a family member often is a more reliable vendor, and I’ve written justifications for not going with the lowest bidder in the public sector because it’s “lowest QUALIFIED bidder.“
And remember that his hundred percent disability pension is tax free.
Just saying….
His OYSTERS, not his waste. Grrrr…..
