Maine Campaign in Turmoil: Mamdani’s Advisor Heads North Amid Platner Scandal New

Maine Campaign in Turmoil: Mamdani’s Advisor Heads North Amid Platner Scandal

Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner, a self-avowed socialist, was the latest darling of the Democratic Party, which is in the process of rebranding itself as far left.Even after a series of scandals involving Platner—a Nazi-themed tattoo, insulting a Purple Heart recipient, and several reported instances of sexual abuse—Democrats flocked to him as it looked like he could be the one to finally unseat incumbent moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins.But after the avalanche of bad press and the polling began to change in Collins’ favor, and after another woman this week essentially accused Platner of raping her, Democrats began calling for Platner to drop out ahead of a July 13 deadline so they can replace him with someone who has far less personal baggage.One of those having a change of heart is New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, another self-avowed socialist who, on Tuesday following the latest sexual assault claim, went public asking Platner to step aside.“I believe that it’s time for him to drop out of the race. … I think the focus of today should be to respond to the gravity of what so many of us have read (about Platner), and I think the only appropriate response is for the campaign to come to an end,” he told reporters at an unrelated press conference on Tuesday.But then, at the same time, Mamdani’s senior political adviser, Morris Katz, traveled to Maine as questions mounted about the future of Platner’s campaign.Katz, 27, has advised Platner since the launch of his left-wing Senate campaign last year.The New York Post reported that Katz had encouraged Platner to remain in the race.However, a person familiar with the campaign told City & State that was not the case.According to the source, Katz’s consulting firm, Fight Agency, is instead helping Platner wind down campaign operations and determine the next steps, including identifying a potential replacement on the Democratic ticket.While Platner has not formally suspended his campaign, most campaign activities have been paused. Under Maine election law, he must withdraw within a few days for Democrats to nominate a replacement to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.Fight Agency is not the only outside consulting firm that has worked with Platner. Brooklyn-based Slingshot Strategies, whose recent clients include the campaigns of Rep. Grace Meng and New York Assembly Member Alex Bores, has also advised the Senate campaign.The developments follow a report published Monday by Politico, in which one of Platner’s former partners publicly accused him of essentially raping her while he was intoxicated.Mamdani’s remarks represented a relatively uncommon foray into politics outside New York City.Although he has emerged as a nationally recognized figure among many progressive Democrats, the mayor has generally avoided taking public positions on elections beyond the city he leads, City & State reported.“When it comes to my own endorsements, I’ve made eight endorsements at the state and federal level,” he said on Tuesday.“They’ve all been right here in New York City. I’m incredibly excited at the fact that they won their races, and that’s where my focus is for now,” he added.Politico reported Monday that Jenny Racicot, a Maine resident and a liberal Democrat, accused Platner of forcing her to have sex with him nearly five years ago.Platner denied the allegation.

Ky është një lloj presioni pozitiv për ne, sepse duam të vazhdojmë më tej”.Xhaka komentoi edhe mundësinë e përballjes me Lionel Messin, duke e cilësuar atë një privilegj për çdo futbollist.“Është një privilegj i madh të luajmë në epokën e Messit dhe Cristiano Ronaldos.

Erdogan's Strong Reaction to Russian Attacks on Turkish Ships New

Erdogan's Strong Reaction to Russian Attacks on Turkish Ships

Presidenti turk, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, u shpreh për sulmet ruse në detin ku u goditën anije tregtare turke, pas një takimi me homologun e tij rus, Vladimir Putin, në Turkmenistan. Ai theksoi nevojën që lufta midis Rusisë e Ukrainës të gjejë një rrugë paqësore dhe shprehu optimizëm për një zgjidhje diplomatike që mund ta çojë drejt fundit konfliktin. VAZHDO LEXIMIN ME POSHTE!Sulmet erdhën ndërsa tensionet në Detin e Zi janë rritur dhe forcat ruse goditën dy porte ukrainase, duke dëmtuar tre anije të regjistruara në pronësi të kompanive turke. Nga sulmet nuk ka raportime për viktima ndër ekuipazhet, por dëmet materiale të anijeve dhe infrastrukturës portuale shqetësojnë autoritetet. Ministria turke e Jashtme lëshoi një deklaratë ku e cilësoi situatën si një rrezik në rritje për sigurinë detare dhe lirinë e lundrimit në rajon. Ajo nënvizoi se konfliktet që prekin anijet tregtare minojnë stabilitetin në një zonë kyçe për tregtinë ndërkombëtare. Erdogan ka insistuar se Deti i Zi duhet të mbetet një hapësirë pa konfrontime, duke nënvizuar se as Rusia, as Ukraina nuk përfitojnë nga militarizimi i zonës detare. Ai përsëriti nevojën për siguri në rrugët detare që përdoren për transportin e mallrave dhe energjisë. Teksa sulmet u zhvilluan, presidenti turk kishte diskutuar me Putinin një plan të kufizuar armëpushimi që përqendrohet në objektet energjetike dhe portet, me qëllim ndalimin e përshkallëzimit të konflikteve që prekin infrastrukturën civile. Zyrtarë turq theksuan se dëmtimi i anijeve të cilat transportojnë mallra tregtare nxit shqetësime për sigurinë ushqimore dhe logistike, pasi shumë nga këto anije bëjnë pjesë në zinxhirë furnizimi që lidhen me eksportet e grurit dhe produkteve të tjera bazë nga Ukraina. Autoritetet ukrainase akuzuan forcat ruse se goditjet në portet e Odesës dhe Chornomorsk ishin të papërzgjedhura dhe të drejtuara edhe ndaj objektivave civile, duke dëmtuar anije tregtare dhe logistike. Ata argumentuan se kjo tregon se Moska nuk respekton përpjekjet diplomatike për paqe. Erdogan vuri në dukje se siguria e lundrimit në Detin e Zi është jetike për rajonin dhe për tregtinë globale, duke kërkuar intensifikim të bashkëpunimit ndërkombëtar për të parandaluar përshkallëzime të mëtejshme që mund të ndikojnë në ekonomitë dhe furnizimet ushqimore. Ai paralajmëroi se anijet tregtare, përfshirë ato turke, nuk duhet të preken dhe duhen marrë masa që konfliktet ushtarake të mos zgjerohen në zonat civile dhe tregtare. Kjo kërkesë është pjesë e përpjekjes së Turqisë për të ruajtur neutralitetin dhe funksionin e saj si ndërmjetësues për paqen. Qeveria turke bëri të ditur se pas këtyre sulmeve do të rishqyrtojë masat e sigurisë detare dhe bashkëpunimin me NATO-n dhe partnerët e tjerë për të siguruar trafikun detar, duke shmangur rrezikun që lufta të përhapet në zonat duke lundruar. Presidenti ukrainas, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, komentoi gjithashtu ngjarjet, duke i quajtur sulmet ndaj anijeve civile dhe portit si një tregues se Rusia vazhdon të kërcënojë jo vetëm objektivat ushtarake, por edhe jetën normale dhe aktivitetin tregtar në Ukrainë. Incidentet kanë nxitur debat ndërkombëtar mbi rolin e misioneve diplomatike dhe nevojën për një zgjidhje paqësore të konfliktit, ku Turqia, përmes negociatave me palët e përfshira dhe ndërkombëtarët, kërkon të luajë një rol stabilizues dhe të kufizojë ndikimet negative të përshkallëzimit ushtarak në Detin e Zi. Erdogan nënvizoi se pa një zgjidhje gjithëpërfshirëse dhe sigurimin e sigurisë detare, konfliktet mund të rrezikojnë më tej jo vetëm stabilitetin e rajonit, por edhe tregtinë ndërkombëtare, forcimin e dialogut dhe paqen afatgjatë mes palëve.

Trump's Push to Revisit Birthright Citizenship Sparks Controversy New

Trump's Push to Revisit Birthright Citizenship Sparks Controversy

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for the Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case, following reports of billboards along the Southwest border advertising birth plans at U.S. hospitals.In a post to Truth Social, the president said there were "signs and billboards" going up along the U.S. border with Mexico, advertising that deliveries started at $4,000, adding, "Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay."Trump went on to call for the Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case, in which it recently rejected his attempt through executive order to alter the right mandated in the 14th Amendment."This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision," Trump wrote.The alleged scam to which Trump referred was believed to be an advertising campaign by the Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC) in South Texas, which Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Tuesday was targeting illegal immigrants, offering them birth packages that would allow them to enter the U.S. to give birth to babies who would then be American citizens.A spokesperson for MRMC told Newsweek Wednesday evening that the marketing materials were "no longer in use due to any unintended misunderstanding."Newsweek reached out to the White House and Department of Justice for further comment Wednesday evening....Birth Package Billboards: What To KnowOn Tuesday, Abbott asked the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to open an investigation into the MRMC, accusing the hospital of targeting foreign nationals through advertisements in Mexico and of benefiting from birth tourism.The campaign offered deliveries starting at $3,950 for a natural birth, while C-sections were from $5,525, according to Fox News."Birth tourism is an illegal practice that exploits the extraordinary hospitality that the United States and Texas offer to millions of foreign travelers each year," Abbott said in a press release. "Thousands of foreign travelers come to the United States under false pretenses to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. HHSC must investigate the hospital, a facility it regulates, for any violations of state law and contractual obligations."MRMC confirmed that it was behind the advertising campaign, but added that the hospital did not support or facilitate unlawful activity.“Mission Regional Medical Center, a public nonprofit hospital, is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate healthcare and expanding access for the communities we serve. Like hospitals across the nation, we share information about the healthcare services we provide," a spokesperson told Newsweek. "We do not support or facilitate any unlawful activity and work to comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations."MRMC intends to work with local and state officials on the matter, the spokesperson added. Trump, in his post, said that American citizenship was not for sale, calling the practice illegal.In recent days, Republicans in Congress have raised the issue of birth tourism, claiming it was a major issue facing the U.S. Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee has introduced legislation seeking to ban pregnant immigrants and visitors who are not related to a U.S. citizen from entering the country.What Was the Birthright Citizenship Case About?The Trump administration had sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents were undocumented or held temporary legal status. Multiple lower courts blocked the policy before it reached the High Court.The June 30 ruling in Trump v. Barbara represented a major setback for the administration's efforts to narrow the scope of birthright citizenship through executive action.Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said children born in the United States "are citizens at birth," reaffirming longstanding interpretations of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause. Roberts wrote that the framers of the amendment extended citizenship to "every free-born person in this land" and that the High Court was maintaining that promise.The decision preserved the legal framework established by the court's landmark 1898 ruling in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which held that a child born in the U.S. to immigrant parents was an American citizen....Could SCOTUS Rehear the Case?While parties can ask the Supreme Court to reconsider a decision, such requests are rarely granted. Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach County state attorney, told Newsweek on Wednesday, "This is a nonstarter. Under Court rules, a rehearing would require a monumental legal shift such as a newly passed statute, or evidence of direct fraud on the Court, rather than alleged third-party scams. The Court treats its final opinions as just that, making a judicial do-over virtually non-existent in modern legal history."Prominent constitutional law and criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz also told Newsweek, "Petitions for rehearing are not unusual but they are rarely granted." Under Supreme Court Rule 44, a rehearing can also only be granted with the support of a majority of the justices, including at least one justice who was in the majority in the original ruling.Rehearings are generally viewed as long shots and while the Supreme Court receives such requests on a regular basis, it hardly ever changes course after issuing a major decision.Even Trump's own recent bid to have the court reconsider its refusal to hear his appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case was described in court filings as an unlikely effort because the justices very rarely grant rehearing requests.That means any effort to have the birthright citizenship case reheard would face steep procedural and historical odds, although the filing itself underscores how significant the administration considers the issue.Contact Newsweek editors on this story: Samantha Beech and Edward T.

Rubén Rocha sorprende al reaparecer y negar protección federal

A 69 días de haber solicitado licencia al cargo de gobernador constitucional de Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya reapareció públicamente para rechazar que cuente con protección de corporaciones federales y asegurar que ha permanecido en su domicilio de Culiacán desde el pasado 1 de mayo.A través de un mensaje difundido en sus redes sociales, el exmandatario afirmó que es "absolutamente falso" que elementos de alguna corporación federal lo resguarden, en respuesta a versiones difundidas por otros medios en el país. "No me protegen ni resguardan elementos de corporación federal alguna", sostuvo. No me protegen: Rocha MoyaEn su posicionamiento, Rocha Moya recordó que solicitó licencia al cargo con el propósito de enfrentar las investigaciones sin la protección del fuero constitucional, al asegurar que confía en las instituciones y en las leyes del país.Asimismo, informó que durante este periodo compareció ante la Fiscalía General de la República, donde respondió a los cuestionamientos formulados por el Ministerio Público Federal.El exgobernador también rechazó las acusaciones que, dijo, han sido formuladas en su contra desde una oficina del gobierno de Estados Unidos, al asegurar que carecen de sustento legal y fáctico.Finalmente, afirmó que ha sido objeto de una campaña de calumnias y sostuvo que los señalamientos buscan afectar la soberanía nacional y desacreditar al movimiento de transformación.
