Styles come and go, but a sleek black bag isn’t going anywhere. Just ask Nicole Kidman, who proved that the right black crossbody goes beyond trends, and makes any outfit appear expensive. Her exact bag is in the five-figure price range, but we found the look for just $23 — and it’s selling out.

Kidman arrived at a pre-Met Gala dinner looking like she stepped out of a Parisian fashion magazine. Her all-black getup was classy, but the real scene-stealer was her Chanel 2.55 purse. This $23 black crossbody bag similarly has quilted fabric, a gold chain, rectangular silhouette and structured top flap, however, it might be even more versatile than Kidman’s.

What’s clever about this Amazon lookalike is the chain itself. Wear it long, and you’ve got Kidman’s crossbody vibe. But if you loop it shorter, this pick suddenly turns into a chic shoulder bag that sits at the hip. No matter how you carry it, the gold-tone chain and hardware accents give the bag that glinting, luxe quality you’d expect from an expensive designer.

Work bags have a reputation for being boring, but Katie Holmes proved that the right one can totally steal the show — even when you’re rocking purple jeans. The star’s crocodile leather tote look is equally ideal for boardrooms, airplanes and brunches, and we found the expensive style on sale for just $33. In early […]

Made with buttery-smooth vegan leather, this mini purse can resist scratches and tears with ease. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to wipe clean. One fan shared, “I’ve had this purse for two years now and it’s in the same amazing quality [as when] I first bought it.”

Another shopper said that the bag “has the feel and aesthetic of a Chanel bag” and that the strap “gives it an elevated feel while adding a little sparkle to a plain dress.” They even shared that they “couldn’t be more obsessed, and want it in more colors!”

The interior is just as noteworthy, featuring a spacious main compartment with organization for cards, as well as a clasp to keep everything secure.

Kidman’s Met Gala appearance was a reminder that the richest moms aren’t chasing trends, but rather collecting capsule pieces that never go out of fashion. This quilted bag style has been a wardrobe anchor for decades, and with Kidman’s stamp of approval, it’ll be just as chic for decades to come.

Reality TV star-turned-hopeful politician Spencer Pratt is responding to Hacks star Hannah Einbinder after the comedian slammed his surging mayoral campaign.

“She says from a literal red carpet, surrounded by armed security, completely insulated from the horrors on our streets that Angelenos and their kids have to suffer through every day,” Pratt, 42, wrote via X on Friday, May 29. “I’m glad she doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of Karen [Bass] and Nithya’s [Raman] failures, but she’s in an elite minority and the rest of us want change.”

Earlier on Friday, Einbinder, 31, spoke out against Pratt’s mayoral run while attending the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television in Los Angeles.

“There’s a lot of wealth in this city and I think that there are a lot of people who masquerade as Democrats or people on the left, but really, money is their key issue and that’s what lead them to vote for people like Spencer Pratt — who is endorsed by Donald Trump,” she told Variety’s Marc Malkin while walking the event’s red carpet. “It’s important to resist that.”

Meghan McCain predicted a huge upset victory for The Hills star Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral race. “I’m telling you this guy is going to win,” McCain, 41, wrote via X on Wednesday, April 29. The former View panelist responded enthusiastically to a new campaign ad from Pratt, 42, where he visited Mayor […]

She continued, “It’s very complicated. No one is perfect, there are no perfect candidates. I’m overwhelmed in a lot of ways but I have made the choice to put Nithya down, and that’s what we’re doing girls!”

The former The Hills villain announced his run for L.A. mayor against Democratic incumbent Mayor Bass and a slew of other hopefuls — including Raman, Adam Miller and others — on the one-year anniversary of the deadly L.A. wildfires that destroyed his home. Despite being a registered Republican with many ties to the conservative, right-wing and MAGA media spheres and personalities, Pratt claims he’s running for office as an “independent community advocate.”

“The reason why I’m resonating across the country, and even outside of the country, is because all I focus on is the truth,” Pratt claimed during a Thursday, May 28, appearance on Fox News’ Fox & Friends program. “I’m the look-around candidate. I do basics. I don’t do national politics. I don’t do parties. I just say, ‘Hey, look, they’re stealing all of our tax money to give it to drug addicts to have needles and tourniquets and they’re even selling the drugs to these addicts to let these people die on our sidewalks. I want to be the compassionate one, get these people mandatory treatment, medical treatment with doctors who help them get off fentanyl and super meth and that’s what people actually want.”

The mayoral hopeful added, “People want an outsider who is not a politician, who is just saying the facts. The truth.”

When Variety’s Malkin told Einbinder some people would like to see her run for office, she dismissed the proposal while siding with Lisa Rinna and comments the reality TV star made about celebrities becoming politicians.

“You don’t and neither do I,” Einbinder quipped. “No! Spencer shouldn’t [run for office] and neither should I, OK? I’m with Lisa Rinna. I stand with Lisa Rinna.”

While attending the American Music Awards at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on Monday, May 25, Rinna denounced Pratt’s campaign while claiming that no reality TV star should be running for political office.

“Not a reality star,” she said, before evoking President Donald Trump, another reality TV star-turned-politician. “I love him [Pratt], but we’ve already done that. We’re not going to do that again. You got me, because listen, I’m a reality person. I wouldn’t want me as mayor, really. I mean, let’s just face it, I love him [Pratt]. I think he’s amazing. I just think we did that.”

For better or for worse, Zack Snyder has made a name for himself with films that have impressive visuals, meticulous montages, and unforgettable soundtracks. Though sometimes an acquired taste, all of these elements came together magnificently in the 2009 feature film adaptation of Watchmen. An ambitious film for any director, Watchmen was adapted from Alan Moore’s graphic novel that questions fascism and the hero worship of superheroes in a complex and immersive tome. Adapting one of the best graphic novels to date would be a high order for anyone, which could have been the reason that Watchmen didn’t find its audience early on. In recent years, however, the film has become more embraced by audiences who were admittedly too hard on it at first.

Snyder practically splashed Moore’s visuals onto the big screen in a world where vigilante justice became the norm. In an alternate universe where America won Vietnam and Nixon was elected for three terms, the titular Watchmen were a group of costumed heroes who, for a time, protected the world from evil. Vietnam was won thanks to Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) and his limitless powers. But while Marvel revels in otherworldly archetypes who save the world on the regular, Snyder’s film showed what the real-life ramifications of this could be.

Dr. Manhattan had no checks and balances to his power, and though at first he had good intentions, he slowly lost his empathy for humans. On the other side of the spectrum was The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who reveled in his abuse of power, which he used to assault women and commit violence. These themes that were so prevalent in the graphic novel were present in Snyder’s adaptation, which fans can now watch for free.

‘Watchmen’ Is Close To Being a Faithful Adaptation

Before Damon Lindelof set to work creating a sequel to Alan Moore’s graphic novel, Zack Snyder developed an adaptation that was as faithful as anyone would expect. His film contains the important themes, eloquently communicated in a just question: “Who watches the Watchmen?” People with unchecked power often don’t make the right decisions, which is what led to the group and other vigilantes effectively being outlawed.

Only when the Watchmen start to be murdered do the remaining members band together to solve the crime. The Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and Night Owl (Patrick Wilson) spearhead this new initiative only to realize that there is corruption in their own ranks. All of this transpires quite faithfully with the source material, until the end, which was perhaps too weird for Hollywood at the time. In the book, the conflict gets resolved when a giant squid is dropped on Manhattan, causing the world to band together and find world peace. Snyder elected not to go this route, which was admittedly a shame for book readers. However, this was rectified in Lindelof’s HBO series, which followed these events precisely and had the perfect ending.

This allowed Snyder’s Watchmen to exist as a joyful celebration of the graphic novel, even if all the events didn’t line up exactly. The roles were largely well cast, and the music was iconic. There is no question that the Dawn of the Dead director spins a good yarn when it comes to visuals. Viewers can revisit a film that has gotten better with age by streaming it on HBO Max.

Vasana Montgomery will not be headed to the Love Island USA villa as planned.

Us Weekly has learned that Vasana, 25, has been cut from the season 8 premiere on Monday, June 2, due to two resurfaced social media videos where she appeared to use the n-word. In one video, she purportedly sings along to a song that includes the slur whereas she allegedly says “knock knock, n*****” while playing an arcade game in a second clip.

Us understands that both videos were privately owned so would not have been vetted by Love Island producers before her casting. Both clips have since been leaked publicly following the Love Island season 8 casting announcement, with numerous fans subsequently calling for her removal from the Peacock dating competition.

Us reached out to Peacock for comment.

Love Island viewers are usually left with a lot of questions when someone is unexpectedly removed from the villa — but what do the other Islanders get told by production? The hit dating series originally premiered in the U.K. in 2002 before it expanded worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA on Peacock. The […]

Vasana was part of the official cast unveiled on Thursday, May 28, with the Beaverton, Oregon, native boasting in a pre-release teaser about what she’d bring to the villa.

“I think I am the full package,” she boasted. “I own a business; I live alone; I have a dog. If you were to ask my friends what my type is, they’d show you the world map.”

On the eve of Thursday’s casting announcement, Love Island shared a statement asking viewers not to engage in “negativity” about the cast.

“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community,” an Instagram post read on . “We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”

Love Island faced two similar scandals in 2025. First, Love Island USA narrator Iain Stirling announced in season 7’s second episode that islander Yulissa Escobar “left the villa” after podcast clips of her allegedly using racial slurs circulated online.

“First, I want to apologize for using a word I had no right in using. Podcast clips from years ago have recently resurfaced, and I want to address it directly,” Yulissa wrote via Instagram on June 6, 2025. “In those clips, I used a word I never should’ve used, a racial slur.”

Yulissa, 28, added of the offensive podcast clips, “I used [a slur] ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn’t trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn’t excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It’s tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use.”

The following month, Cierra Ortega exited Love Island over resurfaced posts where she allegedly used an offensive term for Asian people. Cierra, 26, insisted that she was not aware the term she’d used was offensive.

“Now that I’ve been back in the U.S. for about 48 hours and I’ve had the chance to process, I now feel like I’m at a space where I can speak about this without being highly emotional because I am not the victim in the situation,” Cierra said in an Instagram video on July 9, 2025. “While I was in the villa, there were some posts that resurfaced from my past where I was very naively using an incredibly offensive and derogatory term. I want to first start by addressing not just anyone that I have hurt or deeply offended — but most importantly — the entire Asian community. 
I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry.”

Jamie Lee Curtis has announced that her older sister Kelly Lee Curtis has died. She was 69.

“A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” Jamie, 67, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 30, alongside a stunning black and white photo of her late sibling getting her hair done while smoking a cigarette.

“She was my first friend and lifelong confidant,” Jamie continued. “She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go. She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.”

She added, “She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie. Kelly always signed off any messages or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing… Isten Veled, God is with you. Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I’ll see you on down the line.”

Kelly was the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh who, like her famous sister, followed in her parents’ acting footsteps. Born in Santa Monica on June 17, 1956, she made her acting debut when she first appeared in the 1958 adventure film The Vikings, which starred her mother and father. She went on to star alongside her sister in 1983’s Trading Places, as well as the 1987 German comedy movie Magic Sticks and the 1991 Italian horror film The Devil’s Daughter.

She also made appearances on episodes of The Equalizer, Hunter, Silk Stalkings, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Judging Amy and more.

Kelly also excelled behind the camera, directing the 2018 documentary Marby Jets Are Go, which followed an Australian high school track team. She later assisted her sister Jamie on her blockbuster 2008 hit Freaky Friday, as well as Christmas With the Kranks and You Again.

Like her sister, Kelly also fielded accusations of favoritism and nepotism as a result of her famous parents’ acting prowess.

A close friend of Claude Lemieux claims the late NHL legend carried an alleged “injustice” prior to his untimely death.

“He always lived this as an injustice, a heavy burden to bear,” Réjean Tremblay, Montreal hockey columnist and friend who knew Lemieux for 30 years, told The New York Post in an interview published on Saturday, May 30, claiming that the late hockey star was “deeply sensitive to rejection” and, as a result, never got over the fact that he wasn’t inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame following his 2009 retirement.

“The sense of rejection ran deeper than one might have imagined,” Tremblay further claimed. “He took it very hard.”

The NHL legend was found dead on Thursday, May 28, by one of his three sons. He was 60. His death was later ruled a suicide.

“The National Hockey League mourns the passing of Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the greatest big-game Players in hockey history,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. Lemieux — who played for 21 seasons in the NHL between 1983 and 2009 — is survived by his wife, Deborah, daughter Claudia, and sons Brendan, Christopher and Michael.

“I love you dad! My son [Luc’s] favorite person is going to watch from above for a while,” Lemieux’s son Brendan wrote via Instagram, breaking his silence in the wake of his father’s shocking death. “We will see you.”

The NHL star’s death came just three days after he made an emotional appearance at Game 3 of the NHL’s Eastern Conference Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday, May 25. Lemieux acted as a torchbearer prior to the game. (Lemieux played for the Canadiens from 1983 to 1990.)

“It’s possible that surge of love, that wave of love on Monday evening, triggered an emotion that was too intense,” Tremblay claimed to The New York Post, citing other friends of Lemieux, per the outlet. “It might have reawakened old pains, old suffering.”

Colombe Lacroix, another close friend of the hockey star who was reportedly at the scene with the surviving family on Thursday, per The New York Post, told the outlet that Lemieux had been “going through a difficult time” and was allegedly “depressed” prior to his death.

“They didn’t expect that at all,” she added of the player’s death by suicide. “They never saw it coming. It’s so devastating, everyone is upside down.”

The widow of former Colorado Avalanche general manager Pierre Lacroix, who became close with Lemieux and his wife when Lemieux played for the Avalanche from 1995 to 1999, then recalled the last time she visited with the famed hockey player.

“I held Claude in my arms, and I said thank you for being there for me,” she told The New York Post on Saturday. “He left our world too soon and I hope he’s in a better palace and that he’s happy.”

Pete Davidson and his ex-girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, are reportedly in touch and trying to keep the peace for the sake of their daughter.

The former couple recently broke up, with Hewitt taking to social media to complain about being overworked, claiming she is the only one raising their daughter since the split.

However, sources close to Pete Davidson denied the claim, and now, it seems the pair are figuring out the best way forward by having “productive conversations.”

Following news of their split, things seemed to be getting messy quickly between Davidson and Hewitt, especially when the model made eyebrow-raising comments that implied the comedian wasn’t supporting her in the raising of their daughter, Scottie.

Now, according to Us Weekly, the exes appear to be working towards being on the same page, especially about their child’s upbringing.

“Their communication has improved,” an insider said, adding that Davidson and Hewitt are “having productive conversations” about co-parenting.

“They’ve been working together on parenting,” the source continued. “Pete has adjusted his schedule to be there for their daughter.”

However, on the topic of a potential reconciliation, the pair seems set on never getting back together: “Pete and Elsie both wanted [the relationship] to work, and it didn’t.”

Hewitt never directly named Davidson in her social media posts, but it was quite obvious she was accusing the comedian of not being a present father after their breakup.

The model’s claims about Davidson’s parenting were spurred by remarks made by fans who observed she looked disheveled during an outing with their daughter shortly after news of their split made headlines.

Reacting to the fan comments about her appearance, Hewitt made a TikTok video saying she doesn’t look “nicer” in the photos because she’s “exhausted.”

“That’s not what I’m thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own, which is hard,” the model noted.

When asked directly by a fan if she meant that she was solely financially responsible for her daughter, Hewitt, in a now-deleted comment, said, “I am :).”

Pete Davidson Was ‘Confused’ By His Ex-Girlfriend’s Claims

Hewitt’s claim quickly went viral, prompting a quick response from sources close to Davidson, branding her comments untrue.

According to an insider, the comedian was taken aback by her claim as he has been “very present” in Scottie’s life.

“He wants nothing but the best for Elsie, and he shoulders all of the financial costs, including the costs for Elsie, her rent, and her health insurance,” the insider said.

They continued, “Elsie’s posts caught everyone around them off guard because they are simply not true.”

The Former Couple’s Relationship Ended Due To Major ‘Stressors’

While neither Davidson nor Hewitt has shared why they chose to separate, sources claim that their relationship was strained due to becoming parents early in their new relationship.

“They tried to make it work, but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well,” a source told Us Weekly.

They added, “They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”

Prior to their breakup, Davidson and Hewitt seemed very excited about becoming parents, even stating once that they hoped to give their daughter Scottie a sibling.

“We want her to have a friend, for sure,” Davidson said, adding in a chat with the news outlet. “We love the idea of her being a big sister.”

Pete Davidson’s Busy Schedule Added To The Strain On Their Relationship

According to reports, Davidson and Hewitt found it difficult to balance the comedian’s busy work schedule with the demands of raising a baby.

Davidson’s traveling, especially, is said to have become hard for Hewitt to deal with, which strained their relationship.

“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” an insider said.

“They are just focusing 100% on Scottie. Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority,” another source explained about the former couple.

Kristy Scott and Desmond Scott agreed to the terms of their divorce more than two months ago, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

It appears the former couple signed an “Agreed Final Decree of Divorce” that was reached during mediation and combines a settlement agreement and also includes division of their community and separate properties, per docs filed on March 17.

The former couple were married on August 10, 2014, and the social media star, 31, filed for divorce from her chef husband of 11 years on December 30, 2025, citing grounds of adultery, per the documents. They have two children, Vance, 7, and Westin, 6.

The docs show that Kristy has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the children within Harris County, Texas, and both will consult one another when making decisions about the children’s education.

The documents outline a parenting plan “optimizing the development of a close and continuing relationship between each [parent].”

Among other shared time provisions with their kids, Desmond has Christmas holidays on even number years and Kristy on odd number years. Desmond will have Thanksgiving with his children on odd numbered years and Kristy during even numbered years. Desmond will have his children on Father’s Day and Kristy will be with their kids on Mother’s Day. They will also allow “reasonable electronic communication” with their children on days when the other parent is not with them.

Docs show there isn’t formal monthly child support and each parent will pay for their children’s expenses.

Ten days after the filing, Desmond, 32, filed an answer to Kristy’s divorce petition with a general denial and requested attorney’s fees, expenses and costs, on March 27.

It appears a motion for trial on merits is scheduled for hearing in July.

Us has reached out to representatives for the Scotts for comment.

After Kristy filed for divorce in 2025, an insider exclusively shared with Us how her close friends were helping her navigate the split after photos showed Kristy walking hand-in-hand with pals Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson.

“They’ve been friends for several years, and it was a girls’ night out in the city for dinner and drinks at Catch L.A.,” a source shared at the time. “Kristy is thriving and navigating the divorce with grace. Natalie and Olivia have been a big support system for her and provide her with the much-needed TLC and laughs she needs.”

Desmond, for his part, broke his silence on the split via his Instagram Stories in January after Kristy filed divorce papers.

“Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys, as I have always been,” the chef said at the time, noting that he made “choices” he is not “proud” of and “took responsibility for those actions.”

“I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce,” he continued. “I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter in our lives.”

Maine’s Senate hopeful Graham Platner’s candidacy has been embroiled in multiple controversies.

One recurring attack that his opponent, Republican incumbent Susan Collins, and her allies have seized on is that Platner got a tattoo in 2007 that resembles a Totenkopf, a “skull and bones” symbol adopted by Nazi troops during World War II. Platner maintains that he was not aware of the inflammatory meaning of the tattoo at the time he got it and later had it covered up.

Still, debate raged over whether the tattoo was politically disqualifying, with Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts refusing to endorse Platner’s candidacy.

“I’ve been clear about Graham Platner. I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying,” Auchincloss, who is Jewish, told CNN on May 25. “I hope Maine voters agree with me. I think it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner’s brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country.”

Keep scrolling for more about Platner’s campaign controversies and his background.

Graham Platner Was Involved in a Sexting Scandal

The Wall Street Journal reported in May 2026 that Platner had an account on the messaging app Kik that he allegedly used to exchange sexually explicit text messages with women. Per the outlet, his wife, Amy Gertner, discovered the alleged messages in late Spring 2025 and subsequently reported them to his campaign staffers in August over fears that they could impact his Senate bid.

Purported pictures from the account, which were obtained by the New York Post, showed Platner bare-chested and only wearing a towel to cover the lower-half of his body.

His wife, Gertner, told Us Weekly in a statement, “I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend. In the months since, I have had to watch as she spread malicious gossip to anyone who would take her call. I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives – the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind – and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy.”

“It is no secret that Graham and I have struggled on our fertility journey. We did the hard work that marriage requires. We went to counseling,” she went on. “We were honest with each other in ways that weren’t easy. And we came through it, not in spite of how much we’ve been through, but because of how much we love each other and the life we’ve built. Our marriage today is stronger than ever before.”

“I know who Graham is. I know the man I married and the husband he has been to me on the best and the worst days of my life. That hasn’t changed, and it won’t.”

Graham Platner Addressed Having an Offensive Tattoo

The oyster farmer is a lifelong resident of Maine, having grown up in the coastal town of Sullivan. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2003 and served three combat tours of Iraq throughout his military career.

He told “The Takeout” podcast” in April 2026 that he came out of the military in a “hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place.” Platner confirmed that he and other Marines got a skull-and-bones tattoo — known as a Totenkopf — while on leave in Croatia, not knowing it had Nazi symbolism. (He has since had the offensive tattoo covered over.)

“Once I left and came out [I] interacted in the civilian world with lots of different people with very different experiences than my own,” he explained. “Many of those beliefs and thoughts and even just language changed significantly over time.”

Graham Platner Faced Scrutiny Over His Old Reddit Posts

Many of Platner’s past Reddit posts have generated backlash but none more so than a comment under footage of a U.S. soldier taking fire in Afghanistan in 2012.

“This video never gets old,” he allegedly wrote. “Dumb motherf***** didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s*** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

Collins seized on the controversy in a statement, insisting she was “offended” as “the daughter of a World War II veteran who earned two Purple Hearts in the Battle of the Bulge.”

Platner responded to the Reddit controversy by telling Fox News, “I did four tours in the infantry, any attempt to say that I disrespect veterans is slanderous and offensive.”

Graham Platner Has Called for an Investigation into President Donald Trump

Speaking to NBC News in April 2025, Platner vowed to block the Trump administration’s conservative policies should he win Maine’s Senate seat.

“I want to shut the White House down,” Platner said. “I want us to, for the next two years, be dragging every single person in the White House, every single person in all these agencies that have been conducting themselves in illegal and unconstitutional ways. They need to be dragged by subpoena in front of Senate committees over and over and over again.”

He accused the administration of “murder” for “dropp[ing] a bunch of bombs on boats in the Caribbean all last fall” as part of “Operation Southern Spear” against drug traffickers in late 2025.

“We drag people who are involved in putting ICE agents in our streets, murdering American citizens, terrorizing communities,” Platner insisted.

He also accused the Trump administration of “rank corruption” and said the president has “absolutely” committed impeachable offenses.

As for whether he’d support impeachment, Platner told NBC News, “I will say this, though, on that front: If we don’t have the votes in the Senate to convict, I don’t think we should waste our time with it.”

A Republican National Committee spokesperson responded by telling Us Weekly, “It’s no surprise the first thing on his agenda would be to attack our government, obstruct the progress this Administration has made, and weaken our justice system. He is a dangerous, power-hungry individual who would put Mainers directly in harm’s way just to pursue his socialist dreams.”

On April 7, 2026, Representative John Larson, of Connecticut’s first district, introduced 13 articles of impeachment against Trump in the House of Representatives.

While the articles of impeachment are unlikely to pass through the House Judiciary Committee, Larson argued that Trump has “blown past every requirement to be removed from office” by threatening on April 7 that “a whole civilization” in Iran would end unless the Strait of Hormuz was opened. (Trump subsequently agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Iran through the intervention of Pakistan and said in May 2026 that he was negotiating a framework for an end to the war.)

Impeachment calls have come from outside of Washington D.C. as well. Hollywood icons Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep have both publicly demanded legal action against Trump if Democrats win the 2026 midterm elections, while a prominent group of the president’s most previous supporters — including Candace Owens, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson — have also criticized his conduct of late. (Trump called the trio “stupid people” while firing back via Truth Social on April 9.

Graham Platner Wants to Make Fundamental Changes to the Supreme Court

Platner told NBC News in April 2026 that there is “a compelling case” to pursue impeachment against conservative-leaning Supreme Court judges, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. (Impeachment requires a majority vote in the House and two-thirds support in the Senate.)

“[There] are absolutely reasons for removal,” he argued.

The Maine politician wouldn’t rule out supporting efforts to “pack the court,” or change the number of judges on the Supreme Court to achieve a balance in ideologies.

“[I’m] definitely open to doing more, including adding seats on the court,” Platner said.

Graham Platner Paused His Campaign to Pursue IVF with His Wife

Platner announced in January 2026 that he was putting his campaign on pause in order to accompany his wife, Amy Gertner, for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments in Norway. (Platner tied the knot with Gertner, a school teacher and paid campaign adviser, in 2024.)

“The expense of this [treatment] in the United States is astronomical, $25,000 for a first attempt,” he explained in a campaign video.

Platner and Gertner clarified that they were seeking treatment in Norway because one round of IVF treatment only costs $5,500 there.

“Graham has great sperm,” Gertner quipped in the video. “The infertility was something that was part of my body.”

The Senate candidate noted that his and Gertner’s experience with IVF costs have inspired him to “build power in order to go get things that working people in this country need, like a universal health care system that provides fertility support.”

Graham Platner Sees Himself as the Heir to Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders

Vermont Bernie Sanders, a progressive stalwart in the Senate, officially endorsed Platner’s Maine campaign in August 2025 and has appeared with him at rallies.

“When you listen to how we talk about organizing, when you certainly look at our theory of politics around wealth inequality, our theory of politics around how the system has been structured to benefit the ultra wealthy at the expense of working people — I very much feel like I do fall in the legacy of Senator Sanders,” Platner told NBC News. “I very much want to see this politics continue into the future. That’s why I’m doing this.”
