Is Graham Platner the Most Electable Man in World History?

This week, Graham Platner finds himself embroiled in yet another controversy that probably won't have electoral consequences. Amid the controversy, the HITO boys reflect on the state of the Maine senate race, the Democratic party’s strategy writ large, and the motivations behind most of the anti-Platner forces. On the Iran war side of things, on Monday, negotiations completely broke down as state-affiliated Iranian news announced Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and no longer consider talks while Israel continues its operations in Lebanon and Gaza. The boys also cover protests outside of Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center in New Jersey, where detainees are doing a hunger strike.Trevor Project fundraiser: https://headintheoffice.com/ Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: [email protected](0:00) Susan Collins blames veterans for their own deployment(5:40) Intro(9:30) Iran War CONTINUES(26:20) Graham Platner controversies(54:18) Delaney Hall & Massive anti-ICE protests(1:09:05) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Delaney Hall hunger strike - https://www.reuters.com/pictures/protests-outside-newark-ice-facility-hunger-strike-inside-continues-2026-05-28/ https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/us/new-jersey-ice-facility-protests https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/30/protests-ice-immigration-detention-center-new-jersey https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/29/us/ice-protests-new-jerseyIran war - https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/iran-us-negotiations-strait-of-hormuz.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/world/lebanon/israel-captures-key-lebanon-site-crossing-litani-river-rcna347732Platner - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/us/politics/graham-platner-maine-senate-texts.htmlhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/30/platners-campaign-sexual-texts-00943720?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it
