Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson has filed the necessary paperwork to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Prominent Democrats, both nationally and within the state, have called for Platner to withdraw from the Senate race following a POLITICO report of sexual assault allegations against him. Graham Platner Loses Multiple Endorsements Following Sexual Assault Allegations "There is no place in our politics for sexual violence. Not in our party, not in any party. Graham Platner must withdraw from this race today," Jackson wrote on Facebook. "This is not what we stand for. Not as Democrats, not as Mainers, not as human beings. For too long, women who survive sexual violence have been told to stay quiet, to protect the men who hurt them, to think about the campaign, the party, the cause. We cannot ask women to trust us with their futures while looking the other way when one of our own hurts them. That ends here. I believe Jenny Racicot," he continued. Former Maine state Senate President Troy Jackson is the first Democrat to officially explore a run to replace Graham Platner. Jackson filed paperwork today to form an exploratory committee for the race.https://t.co/BCI5BHfBeG — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 7, 2026 The Hill shared further: Jackson, who came up short in the state’s Democratic gubernatorial primary this year, called on Platner to exit the race in a Tuesday social media statement following this filing. “While I haven’t made any final decisions yet, I’m deeply humbled by the outpouring of support and encouragement I’ve received,” he said. “I’m currently weighing the best path forward to support our progressive movement and the working class political revolution Mainers are fighting for.” Jackson previously expressed his interest in launching a Senate bid in an interview with the Bangor Daily News on Monday, after Politico published an account from Jenny Racicot, who used to date the Democratic candidate. Racicot alleged that Platner forced her to have sex with him while he was intoxicated in 2021. Platner, who has faced a string of scandals during the course of his Senate campaign, denied this new accusation in a Monday video posted shortly after the article was published. The Democrat said his campaign is “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.” "Together, we can bring our shared progressive vision to life. We can pass Medicare For All. We can take on corporate power. We can create the future Mainers and Americans deserve. And we can unseat Susan Collins once and for all," Jackson said. pic.twitter.com/R2DtZZFa8f — Troy Jackson (@TroyJackson207) July 7, 2026 Our Revolution, a political organization founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) after his unsuccessful presidential run, threw its support behind Jackson. Sanders-founded organization backs Troy Jackson for Maine Senatehttps://t.co/eli21S4sIw — The Hill (@thehill) July 7, 2026 More from Maine Morning Star: Several Maine gubernatorial candidates, as well as former Platner rivals, have already expressed interest in replacing him. Former Senate President Troy Jackson, who campaigned alongside Platner last year and also earned U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ endorsement, has filed paperwork to form an exploratory committee, making him the first potential replacement to take a concrete step toward entering the race. Although Platner has not formally announced he’s dropping out, he said Monday he’s weighing the best path forward for his campaign. Meanwhile, dozens of prominent party leaders — including his strongest advocate, Sanders — have urged him to end his candidacy. He has also lost the trust of many voters who had stood by him, albeit cautiously, through his previous scandals. Jackson and former Maine Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nirav Shah, who is also being weighed as the oysterman’s replacement, both told Maine Morning Star they would not vote for him if he stayed in the race. Brewer said Jackson is the best candidate to step in to maintain the grassroots support Platner built. But the “it factor” that Platner had that made him into a nationally relevant political figure can’t be replaced, and how much sway that will hold is also unclear. On Tuesday, he filed with the Federal Election Commission to form a U.S. Senate exploratory committee, a step no other potential replacement has taken.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m a big Jonathan Cahn guy…and I always love when he releases a new video about President Trump. And that’s exactly what I have for you right now. The title is “How much time does Trump have left” and it goes over the prophetic timelines that Jonathan Cahn has been following and telling us about for the better part of the last decade. They accurately tracked the first Trump presidency, the Biden years, the rise (and fall) of Kamala Harris, the rise (and fall) of Hillary Clinton, and now Jonathan Cahn is telling us what they say for how much time is left in President Trump’s life and/or second term in office. Fascinating video. Please enjoy: FULL TRANSCRIPT: Jonathan Cahn: How much time does Donald Trump have left? Will he seek to go for another term? Will he make it to the end of his term? What does the future hold for the Republican party? What will happen after Trump and when? What will happen to America? Is there an ancient template and mystery that’s going to give us revelation concerning even this Donald Trump and the future in America? In this video, I’m going to show you what CNN, MSNBC, and all the rest will never tell you. If they even knew, but they can’t because they don’t know. But it’s the real key behind it all. Get ready. This is Jonathan Cahn. Okay, we’re going to get to the mystery in a few moments. How much time does Donald Trump have left? Is he going to do as he’s hinted and seek for another term? What does the future hold for him and for America? There’s an ancient template in the Bible that speaks of the kings and queens of Israel and in a time when the nation of Israel that had known God was falling away from God. And the amazing thing is that this template actually foreshadows things that are happening now and with precision. It’s amazing. And it’s not that it’s prophesying this, it’s that it’s the word of God. And the word of God is amazing and touches everything. And these things were written for our edification. And so God who gives the word and he’s also the one who weaves everything together. And so could he weave what is happening in the world to the word, could he give us revelation? Could he speak through the word concerning us now? Well, it’s amazing. Israel was a nation that was falling from God. America in its mainstream culture has been falling away from God as well for decades. So, could the kings of Israel and the queens actually give us insight into the leaders of America in recent times and tell us how long they will have on the national stage, including Donald Trump? Let’s start with King Ahab. He’s a divided man. He knew about God, but he went against the ways of God. He became central in a culture war that divided his nation. His reign, his administration was noted for scandals. Well, Bill Clinton was a divided man. He knew about the ways of God, but he went against them. And Clinton became central in the culture war of America. In fact, the word came into use in America, culture war, with his presidency. And in his administration, he championed things that were against the ways of God. His administration, like Ahab, all like Ahab, was known for scandals. And Ahab was married to a woman who was hostile to traditional and biblical values. Well, Clinton was married to a woman, still is, who was hostile to the traditional and biblical values of America. Pretty much has said that much. Hillary Clinton, Ahab’s wife, was a co-regent reigning with him. And it was said of Clinton’s wife that she formed a co-presidency with her husband, just as the queen with Ahab was a co-regency. In the 19th year of Ahab’s time on the national stage, a scandal breaks out that’s going to define his reign. Bill Clinton comes onto the national stage when he’s elected as governor of Arkansas in 1979. His 19th year brings us to the year 1998. The scandal that would define Clinton’s presidency breaks out in 1998, the 19th year, just as in the reign of Ahab. Clinton took office in January of 1979 as governor. The scandal of Clinton’s years breaks out in January of 1998. Not the same year, same month. Clinton’s time on the national stage from his election as governor to the end of his presidency was 22 years, 1979 to 2001. Well, it’s written of Ahab that Ahab reigned in Samaria for 22 years. From the time of Ahab’s scandal to the end of his kingship, 3 years. 3 years from the scandal to the end of his reign. The end of Clinton’s presidency was January 20th, 2001. Go back 3 years brings you to January 20th, 1998. January 20th, 1998 is the exact day that the scandal of Clinton’s presidency, Monica Lewinsky, breaks out broke out on January 20th, 3 years to the end of his presidency to the exact day as Ahab. We’re going to head to Donald Trump, but let’s go to Barack Obama. And there’s much more to this. Now Ahab had a son named Joram. Joram followed in the ways of his father Ahab. He was the political heir of Ahab. His policies were also hostile to the ways of God. Joram is the prototype and the mystery of the man called Barack Obama. As Joram was the political heir to Ahab, Obama was the political heir to Clinton. And in many ways, he took up where Clinton left off. When did Obama come onto the national stage? We know exactly when. It happened at the Democratic convention when he gave a speech that catapulted him to national attention and ultimately to the presidency. He gave it in that convention. It was the year 2004. His presidency ended with its last official full year being 2016. So how many years? 2004 to 2016 comes out to 12 years. The 12 years of Barack Obama, the American Joram. The Bible records that Joram, the ancient Joram, reigned, was on the national stage of his nation for 12 years. Again, the mystery is precise and revelation. What is the mystery of Hillary Clinton? Hillary Clinton was on the national political stage with her husband, Bill, for 22 years. Then she held office of senator from New York for eight years, then Secretary of State under Obama for four years. Then she stepped off the stage, came back for two years to run for president. Totals up to 14 years. The ancient queen, the wife of Ahab, was on the national stage of Israel with her husband Ahab for 22 years. On her own, 14 years. This mystery determines how long each leader will be there. It even determines the outcome of presidential elections. There’s so much more. What about Joe Biden? Joe Biden’s interesting because he’s been around for ages, but his moment comes when he finally becomes president. Now, behind the mystery of Biden is a king named Jehoram. Jehoram was a weak king. He knew about the ways of God, went against them. There’s so much to this. But King Jehoram was the protégé of King Joram in the north. So Biden was the protégé of his senior partner Obama, who is the American Joram. Jehoram follows in Joram’s footsteps. So Biden follows in Obama’s footsteps with policy. The two are linked together as in the Bible, the two, Joram and Jehoram. Now, Jehoram reigned on the throne 4 years less than King Joram in the north who’s linked to Obama. So, how long was Obama? His time as president, 8 years. King Jehoram who’s the mystery of Biden is given four years less. So, what does that equal? It comes out to four years. So, Biden is president for four years. Now this brings us to the next ancient leader who is the ancient prototype and mystery of Donald Trump. His name being Jehu. Jehu was not a politician. He was a fighter. Donald Trump, not a politician. He’s a fighter. Jehu was wild, impulsive. You never knew what he’s going to do next or say next. Donald Trump, wild, impulsive. Never know what he’s going to say next or do next. The wife of Ahab continues in the capital city and in the royal palace during the reign of King Joram of the north. So Hillary Clinton continues in the capital city in the White House during the time, the reign of Obama, when Jehu rises to power. The wife of King Ahab stands in his way and opposes him and defies Jehu and contends against Jehu. So in the rise of Donald Trump to the presidency, Hillary Clinton, wife of Bill, stood in his way, opposed him, defied him, contended against him. And all the polls said that Clinton was going to crush Donald Trump. But the mystery said the American Jehu is going to prevail and so he did. So now the big question, how long does Donald Trump have? How much time does he have left? Will he seek for a third term or what? What will happen after Trump? Okay, first question. When did Trump enter the national political stage? When did he enter the national presidential stage? Most people would say 2016 when he ran for the first or 2015 when he announced his candidacy. Okay, but that’s not so. Most people have no idea. Donald Trump actually entered the national political stage, came on it, when he became a candidate for the presidency. When was it? It was the year 2000. In fact, the campaign even had a name. It was called Trump 2000. He was a presidential candidate for the Reform Party. And in the primaries, he actually won. He won the Michigan primary. He won the California primary in the year 2000. So that’s when he enters the stage. That’s the beginning of the span on the presidential and national political stage. So that’s the first year. That’s the beginning of the span. But when’s the last full year of his second presidential administration? 2028. So how many years has that span? Math majors. On the national political stage, that is 2000 to 2028 is 28 years. So, will Trump seek to serve another term? And if so, will he succeed in it? Does the ancient template give us the answer? What does it say of King Jehu? How many years was King Jehu on the national and royal stage of Israel? And could that contain the mystery of right now? All right, let’s open it up to 2 Kings the 10th chapter. And here is what it says. Listen. Now, as for the rest of the acts of Jehu and everything that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? And Jehu laid down with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And then it mentions his son. Listen close to this now, verse 36. So the time which Jehu reigned over Israel, he’s on the national stage in Samaria, was 28 years. The time of Jehu, 28 years. The time of Trump on the national political stage from the year 2000 to the year 2028 lands 28 years. The time appointed. Are we going to get dogmatic? No. But here’s what the mystery in the template would appear to say. Trump’s time is to the appointed year of 2028 of the full last full year. Now, we know Trump doesn’t like to stay within limits, and he has talked about getting a third term, but this would tend to say that either he won’t try to do more, or if he does, he won’t succeed. Either way, the span of Jehu is 28 years on the national stage. Now, will Trump make it to the year 28? He will be in his 80s very soon. When you’re watching this, he may already be in his 80s. There have already been four assassination attempts on his life. Well, the most apparent understanding of that verse would tend to say he will make it to the 28th year, but not beyond as far as reigning. Is it possible something could happen to him before that, take him out where he doesn’t make it and still the appointed time of his administration and his people and his policies and the administration of Trump goes on and finishes in 2028? It’s possible, but the most apparent understanding would point to him making it. What happens after Trump? And again, we’re not being dramatic about that. But what happened after Jehu? Could that give us revelation? Well, I’ll share more in the days ahead, but I’m going to say this now. In the days of Jehu, there was a rolling back of an ungodly administration, government, and agenda in Israel. But there was no record of a national spiritual revival. And without that, what happened was when the days of Jehu came to an end after the 28th year, the nation resumed its course away from God to apostasy and ultimately to judgment. Does that have to be for America? No. But the warning is the answer was not the change of government, though God used it. It wasn’t politics, though God used it. The answer wasn’t even Jehu, though God used him. And the answer isn’t Trump, though God uses him. The answer is only God. And the only way is revival. Because if we change the government, but we don’t change the people by the power of God, the unchanged people are going to change the government back. So we have to pray as never before for revival and work as never before, minister for revival, spread the word of God for revival, and choose to actually live once and for all in revival. It is only revival that can save America. Now, I’m going to give you more on this and what happens after even the amazing mystery of the last few years from of Biden into Trump, what it was really all about prophetically and what now. But I’m going to give you a word from the Lord in a moment. Here is the word. I’m reading it right from here as I prayed. And I don’t know how this relates to each one, but this is what it says. Who shall separate us, you? Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword like war? As it is written, for your sake who are being killed all day long accounted as sheep for the slaughter. No, says the word of God. In all these things, we are more than conquerors. You are more than a conqueror. No, through him who loved us, through him who loves you. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things to come, or things present, nor height, nor depth, or any other created thing shall be able to separate us, you from the love of God, which is in Messiah, Jesus, Yeshua Adonai, our Lord. Amen. Take that. Go with it strong. All right, there’s more to share. Until next time, this is Jonathan Cahn saying, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.” Shalom.

Five Georgia police officers have been fired and arrested after authorities say they misused the city’s Flock camera license plate reader system. In a release posted on Facebook, the Albany Police Department said it identified “serious policy violations” by five officers. “License plate reader systems are designed to support legitimate public safety operations, including identifying vehicles connected to criminal investigations, recovering stolen vehicles, and assisting in locating individuals during public safety incidents,” the release read. “Any use of the technology outside its authorized purpose is unacceptable and inconsistent with the standards of professionalism, integrity, and accountability expected of every member of the Albany Police Department,” it continued. “Upon discovering the violations, the Albany Police Department immediately initiated an internal administrative investigation. As of today, all five officers identified during the investigation are no longer employed by the department. Three officers were terminated for the improper use of license plate reader technology. Two additional officers were dismissed previously for separate, unrelated policy violations uncovered during the administrative investigation. The department also notified the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to review the matter and determine whether any criminal violations occurred,” it added. “The GBI has arrested and charged five former Albany Police Department officers with Misuse of License Plate Data and Violation of Oath of Office following an investigation into the misuse of their access to the Flock Safety System,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. 5 ex-Georgia police officers charged in misuse of license plate reader data https://t.co/6sbrsMbZwV pic.twitter.com/7KsBnoNz5j — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) July 7, 2026 CBS News shared further: According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the internal audit revealed the the officers accessed the system on multiple occassions, using the license plate data for “non-law enforcement purposes.” The agency did not share specifics about what the data allegely was used for. After the audit, the police department said it fired the five officers and contacted the GBI, which arrested and charged them with misuse of license plate data and violation of their oath of office on Monday. The former officers have been identified as 27-year-old Tytianna Davis, 32-year-old Jade Jackson, 30-year-old Nicholas Richardson, 23-year-old Brittney Smith, and 24-year-old Issac Whitus. “On July 6, 2026, Davis, Jackson, Richardson, Smith, and Whitus were arrested and booked into the Dougherty County Jail,” WJCL stated. “Once again, this is a feature. Not a flaw,” X account ‘DeFlock’ commented. "The five former Albany Police Officers were arrested for allegedly misusing Flock camera data, for non-law enforcement reasons."

But Albany police said the technology must be used lawfully, ethically and only for legitimate public safety purposes. The department said it plans to strengthen oversight, reinforce employee training and review policies governing the use of law enforcement technology and access to sensitive information.

President Trump just showed Iran what happens when it tests American resolve. On July 7, 2026, U.S. Central Command announced that American forces had begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran. This is breaking and still developing, and the message from Washington is unmistakable. Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States hit back hard. NOW: President Trump is at his hotel in Turkey and CENTCOM is OBLITERATING IRAN with new strikes, in retaliation for the Iranians attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz These ships tried shipping products like oil in the Strait, got attacked, and Trump decided: ENOUGH! … pic.twitter.com/uq7fKzcU0q — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) July 7, 2026 The official word came straight from CENTCOM. In its statement on X, U.S. Central Command said American forces had begun a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. CENTCOM said the strikes were a direct response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels. And CENTCOM did not mince words about who broke the peace. It called Iran’s aggression unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire. U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three… — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) July 7, 2026 This is what deterrence looks like in real time. Iran tried to turn one of the world’s most important waterways into a shakedown lane, and President Trump refused to play along. Axios reported that the U.S. military conducted airstrikes against Iranian military targets in the Strait of Hormuz area on Tuesday, tying the operation directly to renewed attacks on commercial ships. A U.S. official told the outlet that the target set included Iranian air-defense systems, coastal surveillance systems, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship cruise missile sites, drone-launch sites, and port facilities. The target list reads like the operating kit for menacing ships: systems to track traffic, launch drones, fire missiles, and make the strait dangerous for civilian crews. Axios also reported that Iran launched three separate attacks on commercial ships in the strait across Monday and Tuesday. The timing matters because the clash threatens the fragile MOU signed less than three weeks earlier, a framework that was supposed to restore safe passage through Hormuz and keep broader talks alive. So the U.S. strike package appears aimed at the military machinery behind the shipping threat, not at a vague political message. Iran signed a framework, then went right back to attacking tankers. The United States answered. The regional picture makes Iran’s behavior even harder to defend. The Guardian reported that CENTCOM said Tehran was in clear violation of the ceasefire after unwarranted attacks on commercial ships, and it placed the strikes inside a wider fight over who controls safe passage near Oman. Qatar warned Iran that it would bear full legal responsibility after three tankers, including a Qatari LNG vessel, were struck within hours in the strait near Oman. The outlet reported that Iran has opposed the Oman-side corridor and argued for fees or control over routes through the waterway. That is the pressure point: Iran wants leverage over traffic through one of the most important shipping corridors on earth, while commercial crews and energy markets need predictable passage. Saudi Arabia condemned Iran’s targeting of the Saudi-flagged tanker Wedyan and the Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat, warning the attacks threatened international navigation and global energy supplies. Qatar also summoned Iran’s deputy ambassador to register its protest, underscoring how quickly the dispute moved from military confrontation to regional diplomatic fallout. When Qatar and Saudi Arabia are both calling out Tehran, it is not America that is isolated here. It is Iran. Fox News confirmed the operation to a national audience. BREAKING: US launches strikes against Iran in response to Strait of Hormuz aggression. — Fox News (@FoxNews) July 7, 2026 The military strikes are not the only pressure Iran is feeling today. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control also moved on the economic front. In its July 7 action, OFAC revoked Iran-related General License X and issued General License X1, replacing and superseding the June 21 authorization for the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian-origin crude oil, petrochemical products, and petroleum products. The new license is not a fresh giveaway. It is a revocation and wind-down order, effective July 7, 2026, that moves away from the temporary oil-sale opening Iran had under the prior license. That economic move fits the military response. Iran attacked shipping lanes tied to global energy flow, and the Trump administration moved to strip away the oil-sale window that had been part of the recent framework. So Iran gets hit militarily and loses the oil leverage at the same time. That is coordinated pressure, and it sends the same message from two directions: stop threatening commercial shipping through Hormuz. The core of this story is simple. Iran attacked civilian-crewed ships in an international waterway, and the United States imposed heavy costs for it. President Trump made clear that the free flow of commerce through Hormuz is not up for negotiation with a regime that fires on tankers. This remains a fast-moving situation, and more details will follow as CENTCOM and the administration release them. But the opening move is already clear, and Iran is the one absorbing it.
