Senate hopeful Graham Platner calls to investigate Trump and impeach two Supreme Court justices

Key Points:

• Graham Platner, a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from Maine, advocates for a bold progressive agenda including replacing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, organizing an anti-war movement, removing conservative Supreme Court justices, expanding the court, and weakening the filibuster.
• Platner aligns himself with Senator Bernie Sanders' legacy, emphasizing wealth inequality and systemic reform, and has been endorsed by Sanders in the competitive Maine Democratic primary where he currently leads Governor Janet Mills and Senator Susan Collins in polls.
• He calls for aggressive investigations into the Trump administration using subpoena power, labels some actions as criminal, and supports ethics reforms and potential impeachment of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito due to alleged corruption.
• While progressive on many issues, Platner opposes a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons, favoring targeted restrictions on individuals with violent histories combined with expanded mental health services and universal background checks.
• Platner criticizes Senator Collins' record and campaign strategy, pledging to rebuild Democratic seniority on key Senate committees like Appropriations, Commerce, Agriculture, and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) to better serve Maine's interests.
