Everybody's focused on Lyndsey Fifield's experiences with Platner because she's a Republican. But here's what Jenny Racicot, a lifelong Democrat who dated Platner and spoke to the NYT about an "unsettling" experience she had with him years ago, has to say about him. Speaking with @TheFP, Racicot explained that she is a supporter of Platner’s policies—but not who he is as a person. “I had good memories with him, but also, there’s a side of him that I had an experience with that caused me to cut off all contact and to not support him as a person,” she said. “It was eating me alive to see somebody that I know to be one way publicly portray themselves a different way.” W/@FrannieBlock: thefp.com/p/graham-platners-…

NEW: Embattled Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner abruptly ended his fundraising trip to DC Tuesday and fled back home after The Post showed up in his hometown to start asking questions about his past — prompting his mother-in-law to declare allegations of him sexting other women while married were “all bulls—.” Story by @Vagoish, @thatkingthing and me here: nypost.com/2026/06/03/us-new…

NEW: The price tag on current DHS shutdown is at least $2.5 billion, per White House economists. Combined with the last record breaking shutdown, that’s roughly a $93 billion gut punch to the US economy caused by unnecessary political games. @nypost @thatkingthing reports nypost.com/2026/03/18/us-new…

Happy to report that I'm the new National Politics Editor at the @nypost , leading the sharp team of journalists covering the White House, Congress, and Trump administration. This is a homecoming of sorts after a 6-year hiatus and marks the first time the NYP will have a DC-based politics editor. The move coincides with an exciting expansion, including launching the California Post and having a bigger footprint in DC. Please add me to your lists/send tips: mschultz@nypost.com

"Trump’s Base in Uproar Over His Openness to Joining Iran Fight," NYT blares. But polling suggests that's simply not true. Read @thatkingthing @nypost: "A whopping 65% of 'MAGA Republicans' would back strikes on Iran, compared to a paltry 19% opposed." nypost.com/2025/06/18/us-new…
