Embattled Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s treasurer has resigned just days after his national finance director called it quits, according to the Judge Street Journal. The outlet reported that Victoria Perrone left her role as treasurer on Tuesday, and Ben Martello is the individual currently listed in the position on Federal Election Commission records. Platner’s campaign has faced numerous controversies resulting from deleted Reddit posts and a Nazi-era tattoo, and in the days since those controversies spread across social media, both a campaign manager and a political director have also abruptly exited the campaign. His former national finance director, Ronald Holmes III, posted to LinkedIn on Friday that he was resigning. “Somewhere along the way, I began to feel that my professional standards as a campaign professional no longer fully aligned with those of the campaign,” Holmes posted. “I wish the campaign and the voters in Maine well as they continue forward with selecting a nominee who they believe is best suited to meet the moment and flip this critical must win seat for us to take back the U.S. Senate in 2026,” he continued. Axios reported the Platner campaign said that Holmes quit because his role had more to do with getting large donors on board to the campaign, but “the reality is our campaign’s fundraising success has come largely from small dollar donors. Nearly 90% of what we’ve raised has come from small dollar donations and online donors, which is run by our digital fundraising director.” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade.

WGME News reported that Kevin Brown took a job as the Democrat’s campaign manager, and claimed that his exit had to do with finding out that his wife is pregnant — but he left the job just days after beginning the new gig. Platner’s former political director Genevieve McDonald spoke out about quitting after his now-covered Totenkopf tattoo went viral. “Graham has an antisemitic tattoo on his chest,” McDonald posted to Facebook. “He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff. Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.” The Democrat is in a primary race against Gov. Janet Mills, and whoever wins the primary will face off against Republican Sen. Susan Collins in 2026. “Our movement is powered by the people of Maine,” Platner posted to X on Saturday. “The people of Maine will not be propagandized. And they will not be bought.” Platner’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appeared desperate to evade any and all questions about his support for former President Joe Biden — support that continued even after it became painfully obvious that Biden was declining rapidly. Newsom repeatedly dodged questions on that topic during a Sunday morning appearance on “Meet the Press,” attempting to change the subject every time host Kristen Welker raised another question about the former president. WATCH: Gavin Newsom slithers around in an attempt to explain why he’s defended Joe Biden’s capacity to serve a second term: Welker: You stood by him till the end. Did you ever have concerns about his capacity to serve another four years? Newsom: “I never had that.” Welker: Did you… pic.twitter.com/VwpP06B5RP — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) November 2, 2025 “You stood by him till the end, after that disastrous debate performance, even when top Democrats were calling for him to step down,” Welker began. “Did you ever have concerns, Governor, about his capacity to serve another four years?” “I go home with the one that —” Newsom attempted to use the expression that he’d “dance with the one who brought him,” and then added, “I never had that — I just talked to the president a few hours ago. I’ve been privileged to have a relationship with the president.” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters. Go to DailyWire.com/Subscribe to join now. “Governor, Did you legitimately believe that he was capable of serving as president until January of 2029?” Welker tried again. “Yeah, I think my focus was frankly situational,” Newsom replied, not really answering the question. “I was making sure Donald Trump didn’t get back into office to experience everything that we’re experiencing today, and there was no interaction that I had that suggested otherwise.” “What do you say to Americans who feel misled by you and other top Democrats?” Welker asked. “Misled in what respect? He decided to step down —” Newsom protested. “About the mental acuity of President Biden, they wish you had sounded the alarm sooner to give way for a convention,” Welker continued. “I never experienced — I’m not going to substitute myself for someone else,” Newsom said. “Or for popular opinion. I’m going to express my relationship to my truth with the former President of the United States, in eluding at the end of his term, quite literally in December, which was a master class in foreign policy and domestic policy, which I will never forget as we walk through not just the election but when we’re walking through the world we’re living in. There was nothing to suggest what you just said or, or others have suggested in terms of my interaction. That’s all I can be accountable for.”

The Coca-Cola Company introduced Mr. Pibb in the early 1970s, and fans loved it. With flavor and fizz similar to Dr. Pepper, it was a staple in fridges and on soda fountains for decades. In 2001, the company rebranded Mr. Pibb as Pibb Xtra. Now, nearly 25 years later, Mr. Pibb is back with a new look and 30% more caffeine than Pibb Xtra, according to a news release. View this post on Instagram A post shared by CandyHunting (@candyhunting) The Coca-Cola Company Is Very Excited About The Return Of Mr. Pibb The Coca-Cola Company says the “new-stalgic” Mr. Pibb will give longtime fans a taste of what they loved and introduce a new customer base to a unique taste. “Consumers have been asking for Mr. Pibb’s bold kick of cherry flavor for some time,” Dane Callis, Director, Sparkling Flavors, Coca‑Cola North America said in a news release. “If you go on Reddit, X and other social media, you’ll find conversations about the mystique of Mr. Pibb. Mr. Pibb has a feisty loyal following, so he’s coming back in a bold, fresh way.” Dane Callis explained that the soda’s identity wasn’t clear when it first launched and hopes this new branding will help. “When Mr. Pibb first launched, the packaging didn’t tell consumers what it was — it told them what it was not,” Callis said. “Not root beer, not cola. It’s something unique and original, a bold rebel in a category of norms. Nothing fans know and love about Mr. Pibb has gone away, but we took steps to modernize its look for new consumers’ tastes and preferences. A.P. Chaney, Senior Director of Creative, Sparkling Flavors, Coca‑Cola North America, said the company hired Roy Wood Jr. to do voice work for a new marketing campaign. “We’re excited to partner with such a phenomenal talent who embodies both our core consumer target — multicultural Xennials — and the brand’s bold, humorous, lighthearted energy,” Chaney said. The Coca-Cola Company, Mr. Pibb will hit store shelves in Florida, Chicago, Las Vegas, Michigan, and California soon, with a nationwide rollout in 2026.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., openly criticized his own party‘s refusal to reopen the government on CNN’s “State of the Union,” stating that Democrats “really need to own the shutdown.“ PA Senator John Fetterman blames his own party for the shutdown ? @CNNSOTU "I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, WE’RE shutting it down." pic.twitter.com/62CIaFTX1C— Dave Briggs (@davebriggstv) November 2, 2025 “Fundamentally, I’m deeply distressing that 42 million Americans are going to lose their SNAP benefits. And now that’s one of the big reasons why I refuse to shut our government down,” Fetterman said. Fetterman acknowledged that Democrats want to address the importance of the Obamacare tax credits, but called their current “tactic wrong,” as it will “put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity.” “If we are the party that are fighting for working people, now—as far as I’m aware—every single union that’s involved in this is now demanding to us to reopen. That’s the side that I’m in.” “So, it’s not something I support of, and I don’t want to be involved,” Fetterman added. “We can find a way forward. We need to find a way forward and we really can achieve these kinds of tax credits, and this is something I support, but it’s the wrong tactic. It was wrong when the Republicans did it. It’s wrong now that we seem to be driving it.” Several unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees, have clashed against Democrat lawmakers for failing to pass any short-term resolution bill to reopen the government. AFGE President Everett Kelley issued a statement last Monday urging Democrats to reconsider their current position and join Republicans in passing a bill as soon as possible. “Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight. Today I’m making mine: It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship.” Fetterman has also recently called out the hypocrisy of his own party and distanced himself from colleagues who openly refer to Republican lawmakers as Nazis. ?

Because if you do, then that implies that the people that vote for them must be the same. And that’s absolutely not true.” Fetterman said last Wednesday on Fox News. “I know and love many of people that voted for the president, and they’re not fascists. They’re not Nazis. They’re not here to destroy our democracy. [They] have different values and different views on what they think is the American way of life. And that’s why I refuse to engage in those things.” The post Fetterman Breaks Ranks: Dems ‘Need to Own the Shutdown’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Car accidents injure over 100,000 pets annually in the United States, yet most dog owners still travel without proper restraints. A free dog safety belt can protect your furry companion without breaking your budget. We at DogingtonPost have researched the best ways to secure these essential safety devices at no cost. The right restraint system can mean the difference between a minor fender-bender and a tragic loss. Which Dog Safety Belt Type Works Best Harness-Style Systems Provide Maximum Protection Harness-style safety belts lead the market with proven crash protection. Harness systems distribute crash forces across a dog’s chest and back, providing superior protection compared to collar attachments. These systems connect to your vehicle’s existing seat belt through a universal clip mechanism. The Center for Pet Safety tested over 200 restraint products and certified only harness-style belts that passed 30-mph crash simulations. Most quality harness belts feature adjustable straps that measure 2.5cm wide and extend up to 80cm (accommodating dogs from 15 to 120 pounds effectively). Clip-On Systems Work for Quick Trips Clip-on restraint systems attach directly to your dog’s existing collar or harness without additional equipment. These lightweight options work best for dogs under 40 pounds, as larger animals generate excessive force during sudden stops. A 60-pound dog creates 2,700 pounds of impact at just 35 mph according to BarkBuckleUp research. Most clip-on systems cost nothing through veterinary safety programs, but they lack the crash protection of full harness systems. Professional dog trainers recommend these only for short trips under 30 minutes at city speeds below 35 mph. Booster Seat Combinations Elevate Small Dogs Booster seat combinations elevate small dogs while they provide restraint through integrated harness systems. Dr. Michael Lund from the ASPCA states these work optimally for dogs under 20 pounds, which gives them better visibility while they maintain safety standards. The elevated design prevents dogs from becoming projectiles during collisions while it keeps them comfortable on longer journeys. Many pet insurance companies offer these combination units free to new customers, which makes them accessible safety solutions for toy breed owners. Once you understand these three main types, you can focus on the specific features that separate quality restraints from basic models. What Makes a Free Dog Safety Belt Actually Safe Certification Standards Matter More Than Price The Center for Pet Safety remains the only independent organization that crash-tests dog restraints at 30-mph speeds with canine crash-test dummies. Products that earn their certification logo have survived rigorous tests that most manufacturers skip entirely. Dr. Michael Lund from the ASPCA emphasizes that certified restraints distribute force across a dog’s chest and back rather than concentrate impact on the neck area. Only 12 harness products currently hold this certification out of over 200 tested models. You should avoid any restraint system without third-party test verification. The American Automobile Association reports that more than 80% of available pet restraints fail basic safety standards, which makes certification your primary selection criterion. Free products from veterinary clinics and pet insurance companies often carry proper certifications because these organizations prioritize liability protection over profit margins. Proper Fit Prevents Injury During Impact The two-finger rule determines correct harness size – you should fit exactly two fingers between the strap and your dog’s body. Loose restraints allow dangerous movement during crashes, while tight systems restrict breath and cause discomfort. Quality adjustable straps measure 2.5cm wide and accommodate chest measurements from 38cm to 91cm (which covers most dog breeds effectively). Comfort padding reduces chafe during long trips and indicates higher manufacture standards. Dogs that weigh over 60 pounds require reinforced stitch and metal hardware rather than plastic clips. The University of Pennsylvania found that 87% of dogs in vehicle accidents sustained skeletal injuries, which highlights why proper fit directly impacts survival rates. Installation Complexity Affects Daily Usage Universal attachment systems work with standard seat belt configurations in 95% of vehicles manufactured after 2010. The restraint should attach to your car’s seat belt within 30 seconds without tools or complicated thread procedures. Complex installation systems often get used incorrectly, which reduces their protective effectiveness during accidents. Test the attachment point strength when you pull firmly on the connected restraint – it should hold your dog’s weight plus 50% without slip or bend. Many free safety belts include installation cards with vehicle-specific instructions, but you should avoid systems that require permanent modifications to your car’s interior. Once you identify these safety features, you can explore where to find quality restraints without cost. Where Can You Get Free Dog Safety Belts Pet Insurance Companies Lead Free Safety Programs Pet insurance providers actively distribute free safety belts to reduce accident claims and demonstrate customer value. Healthy Paws offers Center for Pet Safety certified harness systems to new policyholders within 30 days of enrollment. Trupanion provides adjustable restraint systems that accommodate dogs from 15 to 120 pounds. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance sends premium nylon safety belts with their welcome packages, which feature reinforced stitching and metal hardware that meets crash test standards. State Farm partners with local veterinary clinics to distribute over 10,000 certified restraints annually through their pet safety initiative. Veterinary Clinics Prioritize Prevention Through Equipment Distribution Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society member clinics stock free safety equipment as part of injury prevention programs. Arizona provides free pet safety kits through veterinary offices (these include certified restraints, first aid supplies, and emergency contact information). VCA Animal Hospitals distributes harness-style belts during routine wellness visits, particularly for owners of dogs over 40 pounds who face higher injury risks. Emergency veterinary clinics report fewer severe trauma cases in areas with active safety belt distribution programs. Social Media Campaigns Generate Authentic Safety Awareness Pet product manufacturers use Instagram and Facebook contests to distribute certified safety equipment while they build brand awareness. Sleepypod runs monthly giveaways that feature their Clickit Sport harnesses (these function as both walking equipment and vehicle restraints). The American Kennel Club partners with safety equipment manufacturers for quarterly social media campaigns that reach over 2 million dog owners annually. Local pet stores frequently sponsor Facebook contests that require owners to share safety statistics, which creates community awareness while it distributes free restraints to contest winners. Final Thoughts Center for Pet Safety certification matters more than convenience or appearance when you select the right free dog safety belt. Harness-style systems protect dogs over 40 pounds better than alternatives, while booster seat combinations suit smaller breeds under 20 pounds. The two-finger fit rule prevents dangerous movement and restricts breath during travel. Quality restraints attach in less than 30 seconds, but incorrect installation eliminates all protective benefits. Check your dog’s restraint system monthly for wear, loose stitches, or hardware damage that could cause failure during impact (replace any restraint that shows stress signs or fails to maintain secure attachment to your vehicle’s seat belt system). Pet insurance companies and veterinary clinics provide the most reliable sources for certified safety equipment without cost. Your dog’s safety depends on consistent restraint use, not occasional protection during long trips. We at DogingtonPost advocate for vehicle restraints as routine as leash attachment before walks. Over 100,000 pets suffer vehicle injuries annually, but proper restraints prevent most serious trauma.
