Ex-Girlfriend Claims Platner Removed Condoms During Sex Without Her Consent

An ex-girlfriend of embattled Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner accused him Tuesday of repeatedly removing condoms without her consent during sex, according to a report by The Washington Post. Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner in Washington, D.C., from 2013 to 2015 and has previously accused him of physical abuse, claimed he ignored her pleas to wear protection during sex. She said she was not using birth control. “He would pull condoms off,” she told The Post. “He would do it in a sneaky way. He wouldn’t tell me.” Platner allegedly removed condoms without Fifield’s consent at least six times in D.C. during their roughly two-year relationship.  The practice, commonly referred to as “stealthing,” has been recognized in some jurisdictions as a form of sexual battery. There is no federal law criminalizing the practice, though a handful of states, including Maine, Washington, and Vermont, have enacted laws addressing it.  The Platner campaign called the allegation “categorically false and politically motivated,” according to the outlet. The campaign also noted that Fifield, who has worked in Republican politics, publicly supported Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when he faced allegations of sexual assault.  Fifield told The Washington Post she first disclosed the allegation during an off-the-record interview on June 20 before later deciding to go public. She said she decided to come forward to support fellow Platner accuser Jenny Racicot, who detailed disturbing allegations of rape to Politico and CNN. “I confronted him both during and after [sex] because he knew that I was not on birth control and how dangerous that was,” she told The Post.  In June, The New York Times cited several ex-girlfriends who claimed Platner engaged in a pattern of “intimidating and disturbing” behavior in their relationships and lied about not knowing the meaning of his Nazi tattoo.  Three of the women, including Fifield, described volatile and “toxic” relationships with the Senate hopeful, claiming he demeaned women, became physically threatening, and was repeatedly unfaithful. In that report, Fifield accused Platner of twisting her arm, shoving her into a bedroom, and holding the door shut until she became “calm.”  At the time, the Platner campaign denied the report and rushed to MS NOW to do damage control.  “There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about, are simply not true,” Platner said on the leftist television network. “Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who’s politically motivated.” The latest revelations come as Platner is reportedly refusing to step aside unless Democrats let him choose his replacement. Over the past 24 hours, Democrats and leftists have called on Platner to drop out of the race.  “I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday.  Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee would not dedicate financial resources to the election if Platner is the nominee. “The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot,” Schumer said in a statement with fellow Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).  Maine Democrats have until July 13 to replace him on the ballot, leaving the party just days to settle on a new nominee to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

World’s Largest Automaker Is Making A Major Manufacturing Shift To America

Toyota announced Monday that it would invest $3.6 billion to expand production of its Tacoma pickup truck in Texas, moving most of the model’s manufacturing from Mexico to the United States over the next four years. Toyota said the investment will expand its San Antonio plant and shift most Tacoma production from its Tijuana, Mexico, facility. The expansion will increase annual production capacity by 150,000 vehicles. The company will add a second assembly line to support the Tacoma truck.  President Donald Trump celebrated the company’s plans in a post on Truth Social Tuesday morning. Production will shift over four years, with the Tijuana plant continuing to manufacture Tacomas during the transition before Texas becomes the main production site. The San Antonio plant currently produces Tundra pickups and Sequoia SUVs. The investment follows Toyota’s announcement in November 2025 that it planned to invest up to $10 billion in additional U.S. investment over five years. “Toyota’s continued investment in North America is a testament to our confidence in the region’s workforce, innovation and long-term growth potential,” said Ted Ogawa, President and CEO of Toyota Motor North America, on Monday. Toyota joins other automakers shifting production to the United States in response to tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts. The nearly $4 billion expansion is estimated to create nearly 2,000 more on-site jobs in Texas. “By expanding our San Antonio plant, we are deepening our commitment to American manufacturing, creating meaningful and sustainable jobs, while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers today and into the future,” Ogawa said.

One Of America’s Biggest Automakers Recalls More Than 110,000 Vehicles

Ford is recalling more than 110,000 Mustang and Mustang Mach-E vehicles over two separate defects that could increase the risk of a crash, federal regulators announced on Tuesday. The recalls affect 110,626 Mustang, Mustang GTD, and Mustang Mach-E vehicles.  The larger recall covers 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles because the windshield wipers may malfunction in cold weather. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that under certain conditions, the windshield wiper would operate only at its fastest setting, with the washer system not working at all. Both can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The second recall affects 42,784 Mustang Mach-E models because the rear differential pinion shift may fracture. This could cause a loss in “drive power” or “unintended vehicle movement” if the vehicle is parked but the parking brake is not applied. Ford said dealers will repair the affected vehicles free of charge.  The recalls come one week after Ford recalled more than 741,000 SUVs and pickup trucks due to a transmission defect that could allow vehicles to roll away.

Top Republicans Speak With Hospitalized McConnell To Shut Down Rumors

After days of mounting speculation about Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health, Senate Republicans and longtime McConnell ally Scott Jennings say they have personally spoken with the Kentucky Republican, offering the first public indications that the former Senate leader is actively communicating from his hospital room. The updates come just days after widespread online rumors claimed McConnell was brain dead or on life support following his June 14 hospitalization after suffering what emergency dispatch recordings indicated was a cardiac arrest requiring CPR. CNN contributor and former McConnell adviser Scott Jennings said on Tuesday that he spoke with his “old friend” for nearly twenty minutes. “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky,” Jennings wrote on X. “He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.” I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a… — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) July 7, 2026 Jennings’ account was echoed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who said he held a “lengthy and substantive conversation” with McConnell that covered a range of topics, including national security. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) likewise told The Hill that he spoke with McConnell for roughly twenty minutes Tuesday, saying their conversation included discussion of recent legal and political developments. McConnell’s office also released another brief statement Tuesday, saying the senator “continues to improve and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.” The conversations appear to undercut claims circulating online that McConnell is no longer conscious or capable of communicating. Those rumors intensified after conservative activist Laura Loomer claimed she had been told by a White House source that McConnell was “brain dead.” As previously reported by The Daily Wire, McConnell’s office has declined to disclose the nature of his medical emergency or provide specifics about his prognosis, despite emergency dispatch recordings indicating first responders performed CPR on an unconscious patient at the senator’s Washington residence on June 14. The lack of detailed updates fueled questions not only about McConnell’s health but also about the political implications of a potential vacancy. Kentucky’s revised Senate succession law, enacted in 2024, replaced gubernatorial appointments with a special election process, leading some observers to speculate about how the timing of any vacancy could affect the state’s already scheduled Senate race. Questions also surfaced after McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, traveled to China just days after his hospitalization for what her office described as a long-planned philanthropic trip. Chao’s spokesperson said at the time that McConnell’s condition “did not warrant an immediate return to the U.S.” Despite Tuesday’s statements, significant questions remain unanswered. McConnell’s office has still not disclosed what caused his hospitalization, what treatment he is receiving, or when — or if — the 84-year-old senator is expected to return to the Capitol. For now, however, multiple firsthand accounts from Jennings and Senate Republican leadership indicate that McConnell is alert enough to hold extended conversations, providing the clearest public evidence yet that the former majority leader remains engaged with current events while continuing his recovery.
